The S&P Retail SPDR appears to be hitting a double top from a technical perspective. The SPDR doubled off its bottom of $14.79 reached late in 2008, and peaked close to $30 in early June.

The index now stands at $26.50 as of June 16, 2009. Another surprise was that traffic even slowed at discounters, who have benefited greatly from consumers trading down by substituting low-priced goods for normal purchases. Despite the slowdown in traffic, the discounters are still putting out fairly good sales numbers.
