[3] About 4 out of the 9 SP500 sectors made new highs beyond the levels at the beginning of the sell-off two weeks ago.
[4] Today's advance is an impulse wave advance. Chart 3 offers a squiggle count on NQ / NDX.
[5] Apple appears to have made a five-up from its recent low.
On the bearish side ...

[3] Strong sectors making new highs have been defensive sectors so far. See point [3] above.
