Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016 Nov 24, 2016 - 04:22 AM GMT

The stock market indices had an interesting day on Wednesday, closing with blue chips to the upside at new all-time highs. Nasdaq 100 had a difficult day, down nearly 20 points, but they came back off the lows substantially, especially the Direxion Daily S&P Biotech Bull 3X ETF (LABU), rallying late in the day and finishing positive, having reversed seven points off the lows.

The day started out with big gaps down, they made lower lows on the Nasdaq 100, but when the S&P 500 did not confirm, it made a higher low, and then they rallied. The S&P 500 had a 5-wave rally into the close to finish at the high for the day.


Net on the day, the Dow was up 51.31 at 19,083.18, a new intraday and all-time high. The S&P 500 was up 1.78 at 2204.72, 10 points off the low. However, the Nasdaq 100 was down 19.98 at 4853.86, 21 points off the low.

Advance-declines were flat on the New York Stock Exchange, and 370 issues positive on the Nasdaq. Up/down volume was 9 to 8 positive on New York, total volume of over 3.4 billion shares traded. The Nasdaq traded over 1 3/4 billion shares and also had a 9 to 8 positive volume ratio.

There were many other gainers today as well.

Stepping back and reviewing the hourly chart patterns, the indices gapped down, came down hard, made lower lows on the NDX, but when the S&P 500 failed to confirm, they had a nice afternoon run-up, and closed at the afternoon highs going away and the session highs on the S&P 500.

It was a good day today as we go into the holiday weekend. We’ll see how it goes with a limited partial day on Friday.

Good Trading!
