July 31, 2006 Stock Market Recap

There’s not much to say about today’s action. The indices just consolidated last week’s gains on lighter volume — which is bullish action. Just about all the indices made NR7 bars today so those bars should (could) be good ones to trade off of, if NR7s are your thing.

The Nasdaq’s sitting just under that important 2100 level.

I’m still looking for the S&P to take out those earleier summer highs to put the bears on their heels.
