Nasdaq... Where Art Though?
**************************************
There are two downsloping trendlines below the 2000 area...

1. 1985
2. 1940
bigcharts.com.

A look at the monthly chart shows an Island Reversal...
bigcharts.com.

Note how the 12th, 13th, 16th, 17th, and 18th are disconnected from the other parts of
the chart...

As I type, we are now below the 2000 magnet that has pulled the prices back up so
many times... This time, though, we will most likely fill the gap in the 1975 area before
any attempt to turn around...

QQQ can visit 32 before it turns around but individual stocks may give a quick profit run.

This market is full of whipsaws if one is a trend-follower in conventional sense. Dow has been holding up very well in the past two years and NAZ is still overvalued. Shorted AMAT calls, AAPL calls. For a history of trading thoughts:

NV - If the "pattern" continues and I hope it does, I will sell my PUTs on tomorrow's swoon down, wait for a half-assed bounce (which in turn leads to a markup in futures for Wed) then do it all again.

I will keep repeating this until it stops working.
PS I will no go long on those "half-assed" bounces as they are contrary to the primary trend which sure seems down (to me anyway).
