For the second day in a row the sellers tried to take the market down but didn't have much success. The Nasdaq-100 led the way today helped by a big move in Apple and solid gains in Microsoft. All the indices have come a long way over the last 6 sessions and are short-term overbought. We know they can stay overbought for a while and I'm not saying I'd be a seller here but I'd be hard pressed to be initiating swing longs now.
The S&P had an inside day and closed down a couple of points. Let's just call it a consolidation day.
The Nasdaq found support near 2,500 shortly after the gap down this morning. the bulls did a good job of pusing it back above the January high.
And speaking of January highs, QQQQ is closing in on its Jan. high.
I'll call this a consolidation day for the Russell too.
