Markets continued their bearish action Wednesday, opening well, then closing hard upon their lows. Just the opposite of what healthy markets do. China's strong GDP report gave the markets their early boost and in the process had the S%P 500 reclaim its 50 day MA. But it was up as much as 1.3%, finishing up only .3%. The Nasdaq saw a 1.6% gain, shrivel away to a .5% advance. Action among leading stocks was again weak. GSM broke out of a 24.90 cup base, but gave up most of the days gains to close exactly at the trigger. IRM attempted to break out of its 35.60 cup base only to finish the day below it. ALXN took out a 51.08 double bottom buy point and finished above it but volume was soft and gave back the majority of its intraday gains. Semis were among the week sectors, while gold and silver equities outperformed. Their are still some beacons of strength amid the impotent markets. AGU looks good hugging 200 day support and trading tightly. WOR ACN still are holding their gap ups. SCCO looks like it has broken its major downtrend this week. But proceed with caution here. Remember the third year of bull markets are notoriously bumpy. After hours Moodys put USA debt rating on possible downgrade. Futures dropped. YUM jumped after hours on a benign earnings report. Tomorrow JPM FCS report before the bell and GOOG after the close. Also weekly jobless claims, business inventories, retail sales and PPI are all reported.
