What's 100 Points In A Dull Market? $SPY $QQQ $IWM

June 27, 2012

Mish's Daily

By Mish Schneider


Low volume rally and right to the fast moving average in S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average or the "spring rate" from my shock absorber analogy Tuesday. Only Russell 2000 (the one that hung onto the 200 DMA for dear life), crossed the fast moving average as best performer. Note: Tweeted the entry in X and a partial exit up 6%.

S&P 500 (SPY) 133.56 Resistance 132.60 should act as support if market is to hold up here

Russell 2000 (IWM) 77.00 area now the fast moving average. If holds from here, could get interesting as 78 is a big point to clear

Dow (DIA) 128.45 resistance and Wednesday low good if holds

NASDAQ 100 (QQQ) 63.11 fast moving average to penetrate and like to see today's low hold.

ETFs:

GLD Pretty dull

XLF (Financials) Back over the weekly moving averages and very healthy if stays here

IBB (Biotechnology) New highs, again

XRT (Retail) Way underperformed. Have been negative in this sector. Unless clears 57.80, first place to go if market rolls over

IYT (Transportation) 89.50 to hold now that is began to clear away from the 200 DMA

IYR (Real Estate) Acting well, but really needs to clear the 50 DMA

USO (US Oil Fund) Overall negative and now that it had a bit of a rally, will look for a new short opportunity

XLE (Energy) Rallied to resistance, but looks better than oil

TBT (Ultrashort Lehman 20+ Year Treasuries) TLT hammer candle followed by a DOJI and resting on the fast moving average.
