S&P500 Digests

January 4, 2012

Mish's Daily

By Mish Schneider


Classic digestion day in NASDQ and S & P 500 with a confirmed phase change in SPY to Accumulation yet unimpressive volume. QQQ looks better since confirmed a bullish phase with a bullish candle and held the breakaway gap-albeit on low volume.

IWM: DOJI in this one and continues as the weak link. But, back over today's high and it's got some catching up to do.

ETFs:

GLD As soon as I see the rollover, will jump back into the short side. Only reason to change my mind, if clears the 200 DMA.

XRT (Retail) Sitting on the 50 DMA like a child on a swing.

XLF (Financials) Let's just say that if the market was going to get nasty, this would have done a whole lot worse.

IYT (Transportation) Confirmed phase change and similar to SPY-on the 200 DMA but filled the gap from yesterday, which knocks some wind out of the sails.

IYR (Real Estate) Going to call this a failure from the 200 DMA for now.  But, 55.00, pretty darn important.

IBB (Biotechnology) Can call this a failure at the top of the channel-but typically I wait 2 days to make such claims.

SMH (Semiconductors) Still wildcardish. Through 31.50 would impress. 30.25 next key area to hold with a break of the last swing low 28.69 trouble.

OIH (Oil Service) Approaching overbought before it even gets to the 50 DMA. The last 2 days formation makes this worth watching. Under the lows especially.
