Yesterday's Rally In Perspective

Here is a chart of the SPYs. Before we get too excited about yesterday's rally, let's put it in perspective.

In index broke through the upward band of a downward channel which is bullish. But the index is barely above resistance a bit above $154. If the index holds at this level a further upward move is more probable. But the index has had trouble maintaining gains recently, so don't be surprised if it pulls back.

June retail sales from the Census Bureau are consistent with the Shoppertrak data:

For June, "3.8 percent (±0.7%) above June 2006.

Total sales for the April through June 2007 period were up 3.9 percent (±0.5%) from the same period a year ago."
