The tape was heavy again yesterday, but it also appeared that traders
were willing to place bets on selected issues that appeared technically
oversold. Though I'm far from euphoric about the market at this time,
I can't let my guard down either regarding the possibility of sharp
rallies unfolding just when you think the only direction the market can go
is down. The Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) Index found some temporary support in
the low 90s (93.25). However, volume and internal readings remain
negative and lower 'technical projections' have been formed. As I stated
yesterday, at best all we can expect is a technical rally. There were
some signs yesterday that such a rally may have already begun. For
example, Intel (INTC) found support in the 136-137 area and there is an
upcoming split. Some bio-tech stocks such as CYTO and NGEN were showing
some bottoming signs. And, other 'market stocks' such as my favorite IBIS
were showing resiliency. Elsewhere, Treasury bonds have failed to
muster the upside momentum needed to breakout above their recent
double-top, hardly surprising when Alan Greenspan is sitting almost daily in
front of television cameras. That breakout would have provided some added
impetus for stocks and is nowhere in sight. Gold shares bounced a bit
a yesterday after posting a two-year low the day prior. I'm always
interested in markets posted to news lows as a possible setup for an
upside reversal. Keeping a watchful eye here.
