Technical Commentary:
IWM +0.64%,
QQQ +0.40%, SPY +0.23%, DIA +0.19%.
After falling for four days the SPX
rallied on Friday as buyers
entered near support and buyers aggressively bought semiconductor stocks, cruise
line stocks CCL, RCL and NCLH and airline stocks as oil fell.
While SPY,
QQQ and DIA are setup for a support bounce, we like the IWM bull
flag setup which closed just one cent below an entry signal.
ALTR +9.81,
+28.39% soars following
news of INTC +1.92, +6.38% buyout
talks. This lifted semiconductor stocks SOX
+19.07, +2.83%. In addition to ALTR and INTC, SOX leaders
included CAVM +7.60%, SWKS +6.22%, XLNX +5.85%, ATML
+2.85%, AVGO +2.81%,
ASML +2.81%, FSL +2.70% and SUNE
+2.53%.
The SPX was led by ALTR, RCL, INTC,
SWKS, CCL, XLNX, CAG, KRFT, HRS and EA.
