S&P 500 (SPY) Low volume inside day while SPY holds the 50-DMA at 294.77 Yet, still has to clear 300 to get more convincing.

Russell 2000 (IWM) 2 Inside days. 152.09 the 50-DMA held. 155.50 is the major overhead to clear to get more interesting

Dow (DIA) 2 Inside days. 266-270.70 range to break

Nasdaq (QQQ) Inside day. 189.13 or the 50-DMA pivotal now.

KRE (Regional Banks) Since 52.23 is the wall of support

SMH (Semiconductors) 116.33 the 50-DMA holding. However, this too must get through the resistance at 121.

IYT (Transportation) 2 Inside days. 186.21 the 50-DMA pivotal. All the inside days spell indecision. Makes sense

IBB (Biotechnology) 100 pivotal area as this is very weak
