Markets Enjoy Accumulation

The winning streak continued yesterday with indices enjoying further gains on higher volume accumulation. While percentage gains were small, the volume traded was above that of Monday.

The NASDAQ 100 built on its breakout on respectable volume. The breakout probably doesn't have enough wiggle room to protect itself from a day's worth of selling, but there is a substantial gap to protect which will offer bulls something better to work with.

NDX Daily
The best of the price gains were in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It still has room to run to reach supply marked by all-time highs. What's lacking is a decline of substance to test the resolve of weak hands holding their positions.

INDU Daily
Small Caps also had a good day yesterday as they looked to build on a nascent swing low. Again, value buyers will probably find the most long term joy here. Relative performance continues to improve, although it has yet to out-perform other indices.

RUT Daily
The S&P experienced the smallest gain, but it hasn't yet approached resistance. The best of the action was the reversal in the On-Balance-Volume 'sell' trigger.

SPX Daily
As bulls maintained control yesterday, it may be best to focus on the index offering the best value, the Russell 2000. If you are searching for a shorting opportunity, look for a 'bull trap' in the NASDAQ 100, but be prepared for bulls to step in once it approaches the breakout gap.
