Some low key selling yesterday, from indices other than the NASDAQ, but not enough damage to reverse the breakouts. Bulls still doing enough to keep the bounce intact. Starting with the positive, the NASDAQ finished a little higher with a bullish hammer and a relative out-performance advantage against the S&P; although the 'bullish hammer' is not a true hammer because momentum is not oversold.

The S&P also finished with a bullish 'hammer,' but not enough to close higher—although the day felt bullish. There was a bounce off relative performance, which keeps things positive, but it has lost a lot of ground since.
