Dow and S&P down modestly. Transports and Nasdaq up. Small caps down big.

It's tough to analyze this market.

The jobs report was mixed and we see in today's action as the bulls and bears battle near the beak-even mark on the Dow and S&P, but it's nice to see the Nasdaq, small caps, and Transports all in the green. It's always a good sign to see these market leaders, leading to the upside.

Very nice little breakout here , if it can hold into the close...

The small caps still need a little help here...

As a margin player myself, I don't believe much that comes out of zero hedge. Margin is a bullish indicator and has most likely not peaked yet and probably won't peak until sometime after 2016 - that means the party rolls on.
 
The I-fund may lag today, but the dollar just filled its open gap and that may mean the I-fund will outperform C and S Friday and into next week, assuming the downtrend continues...

As bad as the Nasdaq and Russell look, the Dow chart looks like a perfect cup and handle formation ready to breakout...

Pennant can have fake outs before breakouts. Is this a breakout or fake out?

Or did we have the fake out on the downside already?

If we didn't have yesterday's explosion up, today would have been a fairly dull day. A give back in the S Fund seemed natural given the momentum reversal yesterday.

What was remarkable was there was no S&P whipsaw after a new high two days in a row.
