Tech averages also gained, finishing slightly higher, but on light volume.
The semiconductor index is trading at dual support of the 20-day MA and horizontal support of 396, a good place for a long trade. A push higher in the semiconductor index will help long-side positions in the Nasdaq and Nasdaq 100.
The S&P was able to hold its 20-day MA but with a new bearish cross in on-balance-volume. The index is trading in the middle of a rising channel and could go either way.
Again, bulls should stick to Tech and the Semiconductor Index. Bears can look for a break in the 20-day MA of S&P – although it too currently offers a long side opportunity at this average.
