Intraday Short Set-Ups - The Mini-Double Top/Bottom

Here is closer view of the 3 bar patterns for short set ups.

You can see these set ups anywhere through the trading cycle intraday. The best places to look for them are at the open (after gap ups)..at 9:50 (after the market stabilizes and finds a direction).. at 2:00 after the doldrums and at 3:00 -3:30

Jenna: <The Market's Basic Unit (Atom)>. Back in the 60's, (boy was that a terrific decade) I described the market as a Retail Operation. Inventory was Accumulated, marked-up, distributed, marked-down and re-accumulated. It was a cycle that repeated. Same with many stocks. Using John Magee's Tekniplat Chart paper (I think John was the first to develop the log scale) I graphically portrayed this cycle...and Pristine's display that you posted is strikingly similar. We've just experienced a severe mark-down phase on the Nasdaq. I am convinced that re-accumulation, followed by the next mark-up phase awaits us though it may begin soon or it may take a while. I'm seeing many double, triple bottoms. Head and shoulder bottoms (with volume confirmation)...and still many stocks and sectors firmly stuck in the mark-down phase. Conclusion: Trade the stocks/sectors that are in the re-accumulation phase from the long side...trade the stocks/sectors in the mark-down phase from the short side.

FROM MARKET DD: Sometimes this auto-emailer has interesting things to say. Look at the NAZ chart analysis:

After all the bad news from big tech names like YHOO (bad 2001 expected),
NOK (weak sales), HWP (bad quarter) and a CSCO downgrade, the Nasdaq is
still holding its ground. This is a very good sign, it indicates that
sellers have run out of stuff to sell, and buyers are stepping up.

It will take more than a few green days to change the trend, watch for
some weakness heading into next week, here is the chart:

Nasdaq chart - marketdd.com
The Nasdaq finally managed to break that downtrending red line from the
Sept highs, this is the first step in attempting to change the downtrend.
If the Nasdaq pulls back early this week, 2500 is the first support to
watch, it is very important that 2400 support line is held this month.

Dow chart - marketdd.com
Today I am taking a little longer term look at the Dow, the chart starts
back at Oct 98 so I can show you that blue uptrend line which the Dow
should be hitting next month. The Dow has been stuck in a tight range, for
the past 3 months and does not seem to have a catalyst to break out of it.
Resistance 11,000, support 10,400, keep an eye on that support.

CSCO downgrade did not work

CIBC tried their best to buy CSCO at a cheaper price, but their attempt
failed. They did however manage to create enough selling to get the stock
down to $34.

At $34 something magical happened, buyers swarmed in (institutional
buyers) and CSCO has been heading higher ever since. Does this sound
familiar? It should, we had the same thing happen back in March of 2000
when analysts where giving stocks like AMZN some lofty price targets, only
to sell into the spike. What we are seeing here is the exact opposite,
they are buying into the selling dip.

Cisco is still sporting an extremely high PE of 90, this leads me to
believe that upside for CSCO is limited for this year, much like DELL was
last year. I expect a flat trading, no 100% gains for this baby.

RIMM:NASDAQ

Research in Motion is sporting a PE of 1100 ... Do they deserve it?
They are first to market with a great product (two way pager), and sales
are strong. But, all good things must come to an end, a number of
competing products will start hitting the shelves in 2001, most noticeable
will be the TalkAbout from Motorola.

AMZN running out of cash

Amazon... what will we do with you? According to their burn rate, AMZN
should be out of cash in 6 months. It will be interesting to see this
story unfold.
