Well, the INTC announcement came out and it is quite possible that the overall market could reverse back down. Already noticing comments of buying this dip. There will be a rally, but the questions are how low could it go and how strong could the rebound be. Since my short-term technicals for the NAZ/NDX are in the upper midrange, which means there is significant downside potential room, and it would take at least 2-3 days before I would get a CLASS 1 BUY signal. In light of such I feel if the market was to go down, the soonest we could see a short-term bottom is MONDAY, and that would be the earliest. So I will not be looking to go long on a short-term trade until next week. Lets keep in mind that the SPX has already broken the MAIN TRENDLINE from the OCT 1998 LOWs to the downside. With the INTC announcement, it just doesnt look great.
