Tuesday Market Wrap

{+++}

For the day the SPX/DOW were mixed, and the NDX/NAZ were -0.70%. Bonds lost 3 ticks, Crude added 20 cents, Gold bounced $9, and the USD was lower. Medium term support remains at the 1680 and 1628 , with resistance at the 1699 . Tomorrow: New home sales at 10:00.

The market has been choppy the last two days as it tries to beat its head against that 1699 resistance.

Biotech stocks pulled back a bit today. A couple of weeks back, I drew this uptrend line on IBB (Biotech ETF) with a note to watch the top of this very long trendline as formidable resistance. As you can see, IBB tagged the top f that trendline channel today and backed off.  See chart below.

Speaking of biotech, our new name TTHI popped 20% after hours after LLY announced a licensing  agreement with them. It tagged 5 bucks in after hours trading. We’ll see if that bid sticks in the morning. If it does, I would take 1/4-1/3 position off and bank it.

I raised some stops on the P&L tonight, so adjust accordingly if your playing at home. See you in the morning.
