The NASDAQ is now slipping behind the DJI and SP500. At a detail level, the late day surge took the DJI above the morning high. The SP500 finish fell less than a point short of the morning high of 1239.03. The NASDAQ never challenged the morning high. If this is the start of a trend, it would reflect a kind of flight to quality, as the blue chips out-perform their lesser brethren. In a downturn, outperforming means not doing as bad as.
The current advance probably has some legs left in it - though the NASDAQ might already have run out of steam. The .667 retracement level in the SP500 is around 1258 - less than 20 points from today's high. It might take a few days to get there.
Then, the decline can resume in earnest.
