July 16, 2007 Stock Market Recap

It was a pretty quiet day aside from the Dow’s attempt at 14,000. The S&P and Nasdaq took a break from their big run last week. I’m sure the action will pick up with all the news that’s due out this week… along with options expiration.

The Nasdaq’s clinging to the top of its channel. We shouldn’t be surprised to see it pullback into the middle of that channel in the near future. In fact, I think that would be healthy. The bulls shouldn’t want to see this rise get too steep.

It’s a similar situation for the S&P…

The Russell took a pretty good hit 0f 0.85% today.
