Any chance there was a leak from the Fed and this is what the rally was all about to begin with?
One must wonder.

Have you looked at a 5 year chart of the Naz
recently ? Sure seems we are simply bouncing
off support from the '97 & '98 lows...

I'm also lost with the counts. I believe the compx is now bumping up against its downtrend line on the weekly, which should be resistance, but who knows with this market?

I'm not rushing to buy puts today since my gut tells me there may still be shorts out there who are going to look for any dip to cover. Also, the price may get better for the May's after the April's expire this week.

On the other hand, we are getting a nice little bearish wedge on the 15 minute chart, and a possible bearish divergence is forming on the 15 minute stochastics. I'm tempted to short the QQQ's, but then Greenspan may cut another 50bp this afternoon. <g>

Lower interest rates as a solution for extreme excess capacity -- hmmm, for the first time ever, I'm considering an investment in gold.

raptor: Have we completely missed the boat on this rally or is this the "mother of all bear traps?" Or, did we indeed see the bottom in early April with a mild retest during the summer? After the surprise Fed rate cut, I find it difficult to see a retest taking the NASDAQ down to the 1500-1600 range again, regardless of the upcoming earnings reports in Q2 (or lack thereof).
