Good MorningThe equities market shook off the woes that were ailing them over the weekend and opened strong on Monday. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite lagged in the session, the S&P up about 1.0% at the high of the session and the NASDAQ down about a half percent, but there was obvious strength in the Dow Jones Industrial and Transportation Averages. Dow theorists will be happy to hear that both indices surged to new all-time highs on growing signs of a vigorous economic rebound in 2021.
The bad news is that by the end of the day the S&P 500 had turned negative and the Dow Index lost most of its gains. The technical signals given by the indexes are not good. In all cases, the indices are confirming resistance at key levels that spell trouble over the next few days.
