The close above the highs is bullish, showing market strength. The new resistance for this market is now at the day's high at 159.89. Watch these levels here while SPY broke above it. It wasn’t a clean break and there is resistance close by as SPY barely got above it. Bulls want to follow through if the market is going to keep going higher.

The Q’s won’t get bearish till a break below 70.21.
DIA: The Dow continues to be the weakest index and is having the most trouble getting above resistance. DIA was stopped around its key resistance level at 147.86. It did get above it but you can see from there chart there is a clear resistance line at this level. Yesterday’s bounced also showed how important support is for DIA at 146.50.
