It’s been some time since I’ve posted ETF movers and today is a good day to begin again considering today’s move is a significant one. The Nasdaq is clearing key resistance at 2200 and looks like it will hold above that level into the close. However, today’s move is lacking oomph as indicated by the lack of ETFs making a big move today. In addition, volume levels for the major market tracking ETF’s (QQQQ, SPY and DIA) are running below average at this point in the trading day with volume 9%, 18% and 41% below average.
