Monthly –Consolidation at 5500 was short lived, still pushing higher. Trade pressures remain up. Volumes closed the month of June as bullish.  The next target up remains 5958.  A close below 5397 would confirm any weekly move lower.

Weekly – The weekly close above the UML signals upside strength.  Trade pressures remain up.  Volumes remain bullish.  Touched the 5704 upside target and pulled back.  A close below 5575 would confirm any daily move lower.

Daily – Flat.  At 5667, which is the third touch of the upper channel resistance. A break above this upside resistance would be a sign of strength of the bullish trend (fuel / dollar inflows), but a correction would be more healthy. Trade pressures are up.  Volumes are bullish.  Met the 5704 target. The expected overbought level has risen to 5662.  A close below the 5622 target would signal lower.  The expected oversold level rises to 5464.

GDP growth is expected to decline marginally. So, looking for companies with growth to counter the slowdown. Defensive sectors will benefit.

[Trend is at 5622. Support is at 5513]

A look at he other indices show the Russell 2000 rising, the S&P 500 selling, the Nasdaq selling, and the DOW 30 rising. This is more indicative of $’s moving to beneficiaries of interest rate cuts.  Don’t expect a large general market decline, but a reallocation out of the companies/sectors that have had huge moves up.
