The close on Friday was mixed as some averages were lower while the A/D ratios on both the NYSE and Nasdaq were better than two-to-one positive, reflecting internal strength. The Nasdaq's McClellan Oscillator, which did form a strong positive divergence at the June lows, has turned higher and is just below zero. This makes Monday’s A/D numbers important. Some of the key industry groups like the financials closed with nice gains on Friday, but last week’s lows need to hold.
