Major indices are trading flat after this morning's durable goods report.  Crude oil futures are trading lower by 0.6% at $61.02.

Wednesday's market action created a 10 day intraday high as well as 3 straight days of advancers outnumbering decliners on the S&P 500 Index (explanations below), which are bearish signals. It will be interesting to see if we get more bearish signals next week and if any trigger on the Nasdaq, which has been rangebound for most of the past week (click here for more info).

10 Day High Alert- This is an alert that the market has hit a 10 day new high intra-day today. Historically this has meant that when the market is above its 200 day ma, little progress has been seen over the next 2-5 days (on average) as the market is either overbought or nearing overbought conditions. It's a good place to be taking profits. When the market is below its 200 day ma and the market hits a new 10 day high, it has been, on average, a good place to be looking to put on short positions.

Adv. Issues > Dec. Issues 3 Days In A Row- Too many stocks rising in one day or over multiple days usually precede a market that will be quiet or drop. Too many stocks declining in one day or over multiple days usually precede a market rally, especially when the market is above its 200 day ma.
