The oversold condition of the S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq Composite has these indices trading into support zones where we would be long for a tradable rally.

The Nasdaq has been a laggard but in a bifurcated market, getting a tech stocks oversold bounce means good things for the broader indices.

Along this line, we also have the S&P 500 Index relative to the Russell 2000 Index, which shows the strength large cap stocks vs. small caps stocks. 

The structure of the ratio chart is bullish for large-caps.

The growth versus value trading ratio is turning up from trend line support at an oversold level.  I believe there is a mean-reverting short-term trade higher for growth from here.

I also remail bullish the energy complex and energy equities. My next target for WTI is $88.25.  The XOP is in a good spot to add to as it is consolidating at support.
