Thoughts on how to play this market...I have been going back to the May 2001 top for some time now. One thing that I have found is that, on the way down, gaps down really really like to be filled quickly. Not only that, it doesn't really need to show as a gap on the chart, it can just be the start of panic selling.

So basically, it looks like a slow grind down phase of the market....take profits early and often.....if we have three days of selling with gaps down, look for a gap fill rally.
I believe that we do get a bounce this week and that it goes to approximately 1480 on the daq. That will fill the gap and bring us back to the 200dma.

Then again, most everyone is expecting a rally this week.....hmmmm |
