    A few points about today:

    1) it was an inside day for most indices.  Yeah, big up day, but still not really doing anything trend-wise.

    3) $NYAD cumulative was also lagging badly today -- usually makes a new high in advance of the $SPX (typically in this 4+ year bull) -- but it is quite far from that.

    Anybody have some good breadth indicators they use?

    But while there are fewer new highs, the new lows are still steady.

    Would not be surprised by some Chinese news. They're having some high-level government event this weekend, which includes announcements of economic reforms.

    The idea of a head-fake makes sense here. Perhaps twice up to this line makes a double-top?
