It was a rough day for me on the day trading front; overtrading, but managing to close with a profit thanks to the gain of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The S&P and Nasdaq took the biggest hits on the day, but there is plenty of support to work with despite today’s higher volume distribution selling.
The Russell 2000 (IWM) took a modest loss. This time, the trading range offers protection, so its significance is reduced. Volume did register as distribution and technicals are net negative. It may take a test of the 200-day MA to initiate a rally to break the trading range, but for now, expect further scrappy action.
There may be some follow-through lower for the S&P and Nasdaq with last week’s gaps a likely area to be filled over the coming days. Such action would coincide with tests of 20-day MAs, increasing the likelihood for such moves. As for the Russell 2000, it’s anyones guess.More By This Author:Bullish Engulfing Pattern For Russell 2000 As S&P And Nasdaq Post New Highs Large Divergence Between Russell 2000 And The S&P 500 And Nasdaq Russell 2000 Rushes Out Of The Gates At Its Own Expense
