All of the above charts are telling me one thing - leave yourself open to some more selling. There was a clear failure at the test of the down sloping 200 DMA on the NAZ. The early move up was on tepid volume and the afternoon sell-off was on increasing volume into the close. The result was a bearish shooting star. The little curving pattern forming on the McClellan Oscillator is also interesting. We'll follow-up in a few days to see how it pans out. Leadership for this afternoon's sell off was courtesy of large cap tech names we know and love - AAPL, RIMM, BIDU, GOOG...
The HANS daily chart below is setting up a nice bear flag after a wide, high volume flag pole.
