Macro Summary….Key broad markets remain facing the top of their flag/pennant resistance lines.

Micro Summary…  Banks, Homebuilders and Basic Materials/FCX have been really hot over the past 60 days.  The Power of the Pattern would suggest to keep a close eye on the Micro moves of these leading sectors in the upcoming days, due to the very bearish pattern they created last Thursday

As I shared with Premium Members last week, one day DOES NOT make a trend, yet the single day negative action in these leaders at resistance(on Thursday)  should be respected on both a Micro and Macro basis.

Keep an extra close eye on what XLF, KRE, XHB, IYM and FCX does in the upcoming days as they gave us a great hint on the future direction of the broad stock market over 60 days ago at the lows (see bullish pattern at the lows) and I suspect they will give us a great Micro tip again!
