COMMENTARY

The February uptrend appears to be ending.

Last week, the Russell 2000 joined the NASDAQ below their 200-day moving average, while the NYSE, S&P500 and DJIA tested that level during Friday's trading session.

Price/volume action continues to pile on the distribution days. OEW shows the NASDAQ in a confirmed downtrend and the S&P/DJIA waiting for confirmation.
