Looks to me like very normal profit taking by traders after crazy fast runs up in selected stocks.

But DJ & SPX are holding firm which indicates redistribution. Selling over-priced stuff and picking up bargains.

Looking ahead, I see more good news coming than bad news. 

 

Tech stocks falling is indication that covid-19 is tapering down, and the Tech will not have captive home bound audience much longer.

First sign of a flinch in Trannies rebound move after hitting head a morning floor of 9050.

 

If they get back above 9050 now, then bulls may not quite be done yet.

If bulls can manage to take it out near the highs today, they could gap 3030 tomorrow, assuming it does not get there today..

 

As long as Trannies hold above 9040-9050 area, bulls still looking OK.

 

AAPL still hanging in there after bears had a lot of chances to try and take it down...

 

Still a lot of time left today, but bulls doing what they needed to thus far.

 

NDX 9400 could be resistance on NDX now, so looking to see what happens there....

Very good chance of Gap'n'Go upside tomorrow now....

 

As long as ES can hold above 3020 area overnight, this ramp could start to build overnight...

 

If so, should not see under 3K on any pullback first

Nasdaq is up 0.77% on the day, the market doesn't need big cap tech anymore.

Not too sure about the VIX futures, are people just buying more puts or can the market ignore this divergence?

Percentage wise, the VIX has fallen to .786, way more than SPX has gone up, so this divergence may not mean much.

Everything I see about this market says that retail investors are fully invested ready to invest more. This is for the first time since 2009.
