Only the RUT did not make a new closing high. The RUT did have its highest close since Oct 22. Both lagging sectors Energy XLE and Financials XLF gave some lift to the market while Materials, Industrials and Healthcare led the market higher. Just the small gain in Financials today gave the SPX the strength to reach a new closing high. Watch XLF to see if it can follow through on its support bounce. A higher XLF will likely help the SPX break through resistance. Continue to watch for a potential resistance breakout. The next level of resistance on the SPX is the 1,125 -1,133 area. The SPX chart still has a 1,234 price target with by the end of January. The breadth of the rally strengthened again on Monday as advancing issues increased on both the NYSE and NASD.
