  6. Last week the 10, 20, and 50 day moving averages converged showing how sideways the market is really getting.
  7. Many leading stocks are doing very well $GOOG, $PCLN, $FB, and $YELP to name a few.
  8. Long term up trend intact, intermediate term trend beginning to become range bound, short term is range bound.
