The NYSE McClellan Oscillator improved to +13 and its Summation is at +685.

The Nasdaq has risen above its 50 and 200 dma while the 50dma is still below the 200dma.
The bulls came to the rescue this past week and prevented a nasty decline and now they have the upper hand technically in the near term, and perhaps in the short term.
