Some technical comments on the market: Note: To see the charts in the text email newsletter, click on the internetstockreport.com story link at the top of the newsletter.
The Dow (first chart) continues to struggle with that big upper trendline; whichever way the index finally breaks from that line could be worth a good move. The longer it lingers, however, the more likely the market is to correct here, potentially into the end of the week or month. There are a number of indicators that suggest a potential top here, but mutual funds and institutions should experience strong inflows into mid-April, which could support the market a while longer. 10,500, 10,475, 10,425 and 10,300-10,380 are support, and 10,650-10,800 is resistance. The S&P (second chart) has support at 1155 and 1138-1142, and significant resistance at 1180. The Nasdaq (third chart) faces major resistance between 1880 and 1910. Support is 1860, 1845-1850, 1830, and 1793-1805. The SOX (fourth chart), the semiconductor index, has support at 575 and resistance at 638.
