Closing Market Commentary For 07-12-2013
Crazy day as the markets melt up towards the close on falling volume – rumors galore and HFT computers working overtime. Volume did pick up last 5 minutes much of it selling. The SP500 and $RUT did mark new highs, but does that really mean anything?
Monday will be an interesting one as I expect a sell off, minor one for sure, but the resistance couldn’t be penetrated and I think Mr. Market is going to back off so as to make a run for it.
I am continually bothered by the ever falling daily volume and yet the averages post new highs.
The DOW at 4:00 is at 15464 down 3.38 or 0.02%.
The SP500 is at 1680 up 5.17 or 0.31%.
SPY is at 167.50 up 0.05 or 0.03%.
The $RUT is at 1036.52 up 3.34 or 0.32%.
NASDAQ is at 3600.08 up 21.78 or 0.61%.
NASDAQ 100 is at 3079.07 up 19.61 or 0.64%.
The longer trend is up, the past months trend is bullish, the past 5 sessions have been bullish and the current bias is positive.
WTI oil is trading between 104.37 and 106.19 today. The session bias is positive and is currently trading down at 106.08.

The US dollar is trading between 82.77 and 83.39 and is currently trading down at 83.13, the bias is currently negative.
