US stocks find support

Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating in a narrow band above 17000. Sideways drift on 21-day Twiggs Money Flow reflects hesitancy. Breakout above 17150 remains likely, however, and would offer a target of 17500*. Reversal below 16950, while unlikely, would test the rising trendline around 16700.

I still expect the Nasdaq 100 to retrace to test its new support level at 4000. A 13-week Twiggs Money Flow trough above zero indicates buying pressure. Respect of support is likely and would offer a target of 4250. Reversal below 4000 is unlikely but would warn of a correction.

Russell 2000 small caps is once again headed for a test of resistance at 12.00 on the monthly chart. Completion of a second 13-week Twiggs Momentum trough at the zero line would suggest a healthy up-trend. Breakout above 12.00 would signal an advance to 13.00*. Breach of support at 11.00 is unlikely, but would warn of a down-trend.
