Wall Street rallied strongly Monday but finished off its highs, with the DJIA + 175 pts to finished at 17,710.71, led by a 3% gainer in Crude Oil, underpinning the energy related sector.

The NAS Comp advanced 1.22% to finish at 5,775.56, and the S&P 500 gained 20 pts to 2,066.66. The tech sector also gained with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) adding 4% Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-A) disclosed it had taken a stake in the company.

The DJIA erased most of last week losses, but the recovery was not enough to confirm a Northward continuation, given that in the daily, the rally stalled right below a Bearish 20-Day SMA, currently at 17,779, as the technical indicators have posted a modest recovery, but remain within negative territory.

In the near term, the 4 hours shows that the index advanced above a now flat 20-Day SMA, but remains below the 100 and 200-Day SMA’s, and the technical indicators have turned South around their mid-lines, maintaining a Neutral stance in here.
