Finally Some Action

After some consolidation early in the morning, indices started a nice rally that lasted all day long, except for a minor pullback at the close.

Tech lead the other major indices and was gaining more than 1%, way ahead of the Dow and S&P500. That looks like a big number after the sideways action from the last days (yes, I'm being sarcastic). But with the low volume on this break higher, caution is necessary.

Daily charts DIA, SPY, QQQ and IWM:



Euro, oil, metals
Oil had another good day, confirming the breakout from the bullflag, up almost 1%.
Metals did okay as well, gold +0.6%, silver and copper over 1% gains.
Even the euro had a good day and rallied to the 1.237-level, a level that acted as resistance a couple of times the last few weeks.
