Market Rise Analysis
The stock market rally saw some ugly reversals during the day, on Monday and Thursday, but ultimately made solid gains on the major indexes.
The Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Russell 2000 indexes decisively got rid of their highs in early June, joining the Nasdaq. Russell 2000 is just above the 200-day streak, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones closing in. The Nasdaq has more work to do to reach this long-term level than the 13,000 level.
Crossing the 200-day line may be evidence that the current uptrend is more than a big bear market rally. A pause or pullback would not be surprising after a strong lead for the major indicators, largely due to poor trading volume. Friday’s bounce, an inside day for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, came in very light volume.

What are you doing now
As Scott Bennett of Invest with Rules told IBD Live on Friday, investors don’t need to hit the brakes, but they may want to lighten the gas.
Be careful about increasing exposure in the very short term, as the market rally may extend and face another major resistance area. Partial profit taking is still a sound strategy and way to prevent increased exposure from new purchases.
However, some high-quality stocks continue to issue or set up buy signals. Investors should participate in this market and look for new opportunities. So keep building these watchlists.
