All markets enjoyed a bright day - even the Russell 2000 (IWM) - although the last hour of trading saw some comeback across the indices.

The best of the action came from the Semiconductor Index. Friday's gains were enough to see the index close above all key moving averages.

Yesterday's trading saw the index close above multiple converged resistance areas. Having said that, it's not the ultimate breakout of 5,400, but it goes a long way to bedding the bearish action of recent weeks.SOX-Daily Chart

The Russell 2000 ($IWM) rallied a little from the void. There was no test of the 50-day MA, at least not yet, although it was able to rally from the November swing low.IWM-Daily Chart

The S&P 500 had a quiet day. It held support, but did little else.

SPX-Daily Chart

The Nasdaq posted a solid gain to make a new all-time high, although it didn't register an accumulation day.

Today, we want to see the semiconductor index hold on to its gains and see if Russell 2000 can firm up a swing low.
