Three of nine sectors moved higher on Friday neutralizing Thursday’s weakness.  XLF, XLB and XLV were the strongest sectors.


Thursday’s short-term Yellow Alert did not follow through with a break of support.  So a trader should continue to watch for a potential break below the low of the high day and the short term support area on Monday.  The intermediate term trend is still up.  Friday’s trading range was just 8 points.

Money Flow
Euro       +112 pips    1.3218
TNX         -0.33            18.98
TLT         +0.37          118.08
XLF         +0.05           14.13
SPX         -2.10       1,316.33
VIX          -0.04            18.53

RUT +0.75%
COMPQ +0.40%
NDX +0.29%
SPX -0.16%
INDU -0.58%


Money Flow was mixed as the Euro rose and TNX moved lower and bonds closed higher.   XLF rose and the SPX closed lower.  The most recent SPX breakout has a chart target of 1,428 within 12 weeks.

The lower VIX did not confirm the lower SPX on Friday.
