Stocks rallied today with the S&P 500 hitting a new intraday high but faded just below a record closing high…ending the day up 11.36…while the DJIA closed with triple digits for the day up 103.84 and the NASDAQ closing up 29.56.

IWM is within striking distance of making an all-time new high but will have to break horizontal resistance of January 22nd…QQQ closed at a new high.

FBTSLA…and GOOG all made new highs today…FB gaining 3.19%, TSLA gaining 3.84% and GOOG gaining .72%.

(Posted Last Week on Friday)
If financials gain strength next week that improves the probabilities that the SPX will break through its 1,850 resistance area.  With the NDX, XLV, XLU above resistance and XLK and XLB at resistance we will watch for a potential horizontal breakout entry on the SPX next week and for the trend to continue higher.
