he markets had a down day for the most part, other than the Nasdaq 100, but it sure felt a lot better than that, because many of the stocks we follow had a strong session, particularly in the Chinese sector, which mostly had an exceptional day today.

The markets had a strange and mixed session, the kind of session where the Nasdaq 100 was pretty much positive and strong all session and closed at the highs for the day going away, but the S&P 500 and Dow were negative all morning and flat all afternoon, and refused to go along with the Nasdaq 100, particularly the afternoon part of the rally.

A strong session to the upside results in new highs across the board on all the major indices.

The next 2-3 week period has historically been a bad time for stocks, so we may see some downside pressure holding stocks back.

We had another down-session today following up on yesterday's moderate losses, although a bit heavier today.

Harry Boxer writes that the market is still acting bullishly, and has not rolled over or taken out any significant price, trendline or moving average support yet.

It was a very strong session to start the week, and the indices started the day with a strong surge from the opening, followed through for about a half hour and then pulled back and consolidated bullishly.

It was a very positive session for the blue chips as well as for the Nasdaq 100, but they will need to get a follow-through from this consolidation in order to make an impression on Harry Boxer.

The stock market had an up-day for the most part, but it was kind of a choppy session. The indices started very strongly with a gap up.

Despite more new multi-year highs on the Nasdaq 100, the S&P has still has failed to break out and confirm it.
