COMMENTARY
A short, typical holiday trading week; the markets rose on low trading volume.

O’neil’s price/volume analysis switched from a correction to an uptrend under pressure, which is a first. The new high for the S&P500 qualifies as the start of a new uptrend, but the high level of distribution days (high volume selling) combines with low trading volume to keep optimism under wraps.

Elliott Wave Analysis shows an intermediate-term uptrend, and the key S&P500 price levels to watch have increased incrementally:

• Resistance: 2,131 / 2,214
• Support: 2,070 / 2,085

I expect a quiet market next week, as the holiday season winds down.  Take all the price action with a grain of salt so you can start 2015 profitably.
