During today's trading session the S&P 500 put a new a new intraday high in since the beginning of the rally, which began in March.

XOM broke out of its symmetrical triangle to the upside and tagged the 200 daily moving average only to sell off afterward and closing back under resistance within the triangle. Traders should focus on the US Dollar Index and the Department of Energy numbers which will be released tomorrow morning as a good way to gauge commodity stocks which represent a sizeable portion of the S&P 500. Good luck trading.
