Stock-Markets

The stock market indices had a volatile session, first gapping lower and snapping back sharply to fill that gap, only to roll over, retest, and slightly take out the lows before a late rally brought them back.

Net on the day, the Dow was up 30.06 at 18,199.33. The S&P 500 was down 3.73 at 2139.43, 8 points off its low. The Nasdaq 100 was down 30.86 at 4860.59, 11 points off its high.


Advance-declines were 19 to 10 negative on the New York Stock Exchange, and 19 to 8 negative on the Nasdaq. Up/down volume was 4 to 3 negative on New York, total volume of a light 3.7 billion shares traded. The Nasdaq traded 1.7 billion shares and had a 5 to 3 negative volume ratio.

TheTechTrader.com board was mostly negative today. Priceline.com (PCLN) was down 9.87 to 1469.16, Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) down 8.60 to 799.07, Apple Inc. (AAPL), after earnings, down 2.66 to 1215.59, Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) 12.59 to 822.59, but Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) was up just a fraction, 46 cents to 126.97.

Baidu, Inc. (BIDU) gave back 3.86 to 172.82, Facebook, Inc. (FB) fell 1.25 to 131.04, but First Solar, Inc. (FSLR) gained 43 cents to 41.11.

Stepping back and reviewing the hourly chart patterns, the indices had a big gap down, got to support, bounced, and filled those gaps, but could not get through, rolled over, retested the lows, and bounced at the end of the day.

It wasn’t a pretty day, but they did manage to come off the lows, and closed mixed, with the Dow slightly ahead to no avail.

Good Trading!
