Weekly ETF Rewind: Bullish Consolidation or Overstretched to the Upside?

Ten percent-plus unemployment be damned, the S&P500 (SPY) finished the week up +3.4% for its first positive performance in a number of weeks. While the back-to-back plus days last week were most impressive, several indices are already beginning to look overstretched to the upside.

Certainly traders were pondering this weekend whether Friday's flattish trade was more bullish consolidation, or a 62%-Fibonacci, 20-day moving average resistance line setting us up for at least a brief reversal.

By far, the most telling aspect of the rise in the markets this week was the incredible decrease in volume with each of the past 4 days of gains. How anybody can be overjoyed at the "bounce" this week is beyond my comprehension. 4 straight days of higher prices on 4 straight days of declining volume is not the recipe for any kind of follow through in the week ahead. In fact, it makes the likelihood of a serious drop in the days ahead seem almost assured.
