The stock market indices had an up-day today, but the sharp afternoon sell-off took them way off the earlier sharp highs, and only a bounce in the last 15 minutes managed to keep them from giving it all back.

The stock market indices had an even tougher session today. They were mixed near the opening, backed and filled for most of the session, had an afternoon rally to new highs for the day, and then rolled over to the lows for the session.

This week started off on an extremely negative note with pre-market futures down sharply. The stock market indices gapped lower, had an initial bounce, but that was about the best that could be said for the day.

The stock market indices, despite a big gap down at the opening and sharply lower levels by midmorning, managed to scrap their way back with a big move in the morning and late afternoon in a very nice comeback. Nonetheless, they still closed down on the day.

The stock market indices gapped up sharply at the opening, ran all day, and only in the last half hour did they pull back, but still closed sharply higher on the day.

The stock market indices had another up day today, but the rout was a little less simple.

The stock market indices after last week’s big move had somewhat of a consolidation day in the blue chips, and yet a minor follow-through day on the Nasdaq 100 as several of the large-cap stocks had big runs today.

The stock market indices had probably the best week in years, ending with a bang for the week with five consecutive sharp, up days in a row. The week saw the S&P 500 move from 1263 to 1340 and the Nasdaq 100 surge sharply higher as well with an even bigger gain today.

The stock market indices rallied for a fourth day in a row Thursday and broke through key overhead resistance.

The stock market indices had their third consecutive strong session in a row to make it a perfect week so far.
