DIA + 0.19%, QQQ -  0.09%, SPY – 0.11%, IWM – 1.01%.

ECB president Draghi spoke about easing monetary policy in June sent the Euro lower and the dollar higher on Thursday.  U.S. stocks fell after SPY and DIA traded near all-time highs, once again demonstrating why its call resistance. SPY and DIA support is getting stronger but resistance is not yet giving way.  

XLE Energy sector was weaker after the dollar strengthened which makes oil less expensive in US dollars.  XLF Financial stocks rose for the second straight day.
