August 30, 2021 By: Todd Mitchell

Real Estate and Technology were the strongest sectors after rising 1.2% and 1.1%, respectively.Financials were the weakest sector after falling 1.4%. Volatility stayed slightly elevated throughout the first half of action before easing into the closing bell, but continues to struggle with key support levels.The Nasdaq finished at 15,265 (+0.9%) with the intraday all-time high hitting 15,288. Unchartered territory and lower resistance at 15,200-15,350 was cleared and held. A move above the latter would signal ongoing momentum towards 15,500-15,650.The S&P 500 closed at 4,528 (+0.4%) after testing a fresh record high of 4,537. New and lower resistance at 4,525-4,550 was cleared and held. A close above the latter would indicate additional upside towards 4,575-4,600.The Russell 2000 tapped a late day low of 2,264 before settling at 2,265 (-0.5%). Current and upper support at 2,275-2,250 failed to hold. A drop below the latter would signal a retest towards 2,225-2,200 and the 50-day moving average.The Dow tagged a low of 35,374 while ending at 35,399 (-0.2%). Near-term and upper support at 35,250-35,500 was challenged but easily held. A move below the latter would suggest a further fade towards 35,000-34,750 and the 50-day moving average.
