2016-04-17 - US Stock Market Averages
COMMENTARYThe U.S. markets regrouped last week, finding technical support at their 20 and 200-day moving averages.
Price/volume action last week was positive with up days having higher volume than down days. Overall trading volume continues to run low, and even "leading" stocks aren't seeing above-average volumes during this advance. OEW shows that the S&P500 is back into the trading ranges from 2015 Q4.
Continue to watch for weakness in your holdings (high-volume selling, etc.) and prune as necessary.
