Technical Commentary:
DIA -0.27%, SPY -0.34%, QQQ -0.65%, IWM -1.56%.
Small caps IWM led Friday’s move back to this week’s
support. Friday’s selloff may have been a
combination of day and position
traders getting flat going into the three-day Labor Day weekend and buyers
being gone early for the weekend and end of the summer break. We will look on
Tuesday to see if a return of buyers leads to a continuation of the MACD
bullish divergence bounce which started on Thursday
The NDX -19.55 was led to the downside with -11
points from AAPL, GOOG, MAZN, EBAY, MSFT, BIDU, CELG and GILD. VOD and TSLA gave less than one point of
lift to the NDX.
The big technical news was the
large number of MACD bullish divergence setups and MACD bounce
entries that occurred Thursday took a vacation on Friday heading into the long
holiday weekend.
There have been 14 previous
bullish divergences since Mar 2009, all of which have led to at least a rally
to prior resistance and eight of them have followed through with rallies to new
highs. We are still on the side of the
MACD bullish divergence following the pattern established since March of 2009,
but will be prepared to trade a break of support according to the rules.
Apparently buyers love ANGI +4.15%
and KeyBanc took comfort in SCSS +3.00% with
upgrade on Friday.
Splunk, SPLK +12.86% earnings gap, break through resistance to new
all-time closing high.
CRM +12.55% earnings
gap, break through resistance.
BIG +2.25% earnings
gap.
APA +8.95% after deal
with China Petro buying interest in Egypt business.
KKD -15.11% was
squished after missing estimates on earnings.
Short-term market posture continues defensive.
Support Levels
ES = 1,647, 1,629, 1,611
SPY = 165.15, 163.35, 161.55

bullish setups in positive reaction stocks and bearish setups in negative
reaction stocks.
