The stock market indices started out the week with a pop to the upside, a very strong rally ensued, the Nasdaq 100 jumped from 4912 to 4963 to a new all-time high. The S&P 500 popped, but couldn’t get anywhere near the highs, reaching up to 2267.47, only 9 points off the lows, and then they backed off. In the afternoon, the Nasdaq 100 came down in a strong 3-wave decline, taking it from 4963 1/2 to 4926. It bounced at 4933 at the close, and managed to close positive on the day, but substantially off the highs.


Net on the day, the Dow was up 39.64 at 19,883.06. The S&P 500 was up 4.46 at 2262.53. The Nasdaq 100 was up 19.98 at 4934.85.

Advance-declines were about 18 to 11 positive on the New York Stock Exchange, and 16 to 12 positive on the Nasdaq. Up/down volume was barely ahead by 16.6 to 14.3 positive on New York, total volume of 3 billion shares traded. The Nasdaq traded 1.6 billion shares and had a 5 to 3 positive volume ratio.

Stepping back and reviewing the hourly chart patterns, after a strong surge in the morning, the indices came down in a 3-wave decline and gave back about two-thirds of the gains. It was an up-day, but a little unsatisfying.

Good Trading!
