The markets had a huge upside explosion from the get-go, ran hard all day, pulled back late in the afternoon but held support, and then came on to close to at the highs for the day going away on a major turnaround Tuesday.

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOXX) had a more than 7 percent gain today, up 15.37 to 205.84.

The technicals on New York, in particular, were exceptional with a 90% plus day. Advance-declines were 2920 up and 225 down on New York, and 23 1/2 to 4 1/5, or about 5 to 1, on Nasdaq. Up/down volume was 2.1 billion up and 78 million down on New York, a ratio of about 25 to 1 or so, on total volume of 2.2 billion. Nasdaq had 2 1/3 billion up and 120 million down, nearly 20 to 1, on nearly 2 1/2 billion.

TheTechTrader.com board was exceptional today with only two losers other than the ultrashort ETFs, which got absolutely pulverized today. The Direxion Financial Bear 3x Shares (FAZ), which traded as high as 115.50 on Friday, closed at 61.50, down 37.67. The SRS ultrashort real estate ETF fell 25.40 to 70.60, and the Direxion Large Cap Bear 3X Shares (BGZ) at 93 was down 20.78.

Stepping back and reviewing the hourly chart patterns, the indices exploded from the opening in a very strong morning, consolidated very bullishly for most of the day, did have a quick pullback late in the session that failed to follow through. and came on again and closed with a bang in one of the best days of the year.

The indices did punch back up through their declining moving averages and channel tops on the hourly charts, so potentially a significant turnaround Tuesday reversal today, but we'll see what kind of follow-through we get over the next couple days.
