The S&P 500 Index rose 1.62% on Tuesday, but the headlines belonged to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which closed above 30,000 for the first time in history.
Over 80% of stocks finished higher, continuing a theme we’ve seen recently of broad participation across the various markets and sectors.
All four major U.S. stock market indices have strongly bullish intermediate postures; the S&P 500 Index and Dow Jones Industrial Average have overbought cluster signals.
Small cap stocks continue to roar. The Russell 2000 Index led all broad U.S. equity indices with an advance of nearly 2% and achieved another all-time high.
