The overall market continued higher but the Dow fell 72 points on heavy volume. The advance/declines were positive. The summation index is moving up. The NASDAQ is still leading the way higher and that's bullish. Both the NASDAQ and S&P 500 closed at new all time highs. They are both moving up in a straight line and now there is no overhead resistance. The short term indicators here on the S&P are still extremely overbought and staying that way. I'm not sure what to say except that the rally from the beginning of the month has been extraordinary. It is quite unusual to have so many days in a row to the upside. Not sure how much longer this can go on. Gold dropped $28 on the futures. The US dollar was a bit lower and interest rates a bit higher. The XAU fell 9 1/3 and GDX lost 3. Volume remains light here. The short term indicators for GDX are beginning to roll over. We'll see if we get any follow through selling tomorrow. Mentally I'm feeling tired. The VIX was a touch lower. It remains short term oversold. It can stay this way for an extended period of time during rallies like the one we are seeing right now. I'm remaining on the sidelines to wait for the next technical set up. It is the prudent thing to do with only two days left in the April option cycle. We've moved on after booking yesterdays loss as you always have to keep moving forward in this game. Asia was higher and Europe generally lower overnight. I'll keep watch for the tonights developments.
