<<Looks like a blowoff top<<

Nope, because blowoff tops which signify the end of a big upward move usually have the following characteristics:

1). Stock closes way off from the intraday high or reverses by close.

Today we saw the opposite in AMZN, EBAY and MALL; These stocks closed darn near the intraday highs.

2). Stock has peak volume day.

Today MALL trade 3.3 million, nowhere close to the high of 10 million a few days ago. YHOO traded 10 million, not even 1/2 the recent record of 25 million at the beginning of the move.

3). Investors overwhelmingly bullish about stock.

Lots of people advocating shorting the internets; disbelief at their valuation; in short "a wall of worry".

Conclusion:

So we don't meet the criteria for a blowoff top. With the gaps, and building volume, it seems more like a "continuation pattern".

Recommend my favorite books, "Trading for a Living" by Dr. Elder [psychiatrist] published by Wiley and Sons and "Technical Analysis" published by the New York Financial Institute.

Good Luck,

Jeff
