I think you are right on.

I'm talking about much smaller time frames.

Tech seems to have broken upward at the right time.
Chart chasers and fund managers will see these lines being drawn that look like the time to buy.

If we come out of this recession, I'm not certain it will last for long. 6 months, a year, more? Who knows.

My trades are based upon the typical sector rotation of the various stages of the economy.
At the bottom of the cycle when we are in full blown recession, is when cyclicals normally do best. If you look at that group they have been the perhaps the best performing sector as of late.
Next in line is tech.

Perhaps we are seeing it rally now because of the better than expected fed numbers.

It's happening at the right time.
Nasdaq is possibly setting a higher low.
As is EWJ and the $NIKK.

It may be short lived but worth riding in my opinion.

Eventually this house of cards will probably fall.
I hope to be prepared for it.
It will probably happen just when things really begin to look good and more of the public becomes believers again...

Tech powered up through it's 50DMA with strong, increasing volume. That tells me the institutions might be buying this.

I exited my EWJ trade this morning at $8.55 (Got in at $7.5)
I was tempted to see it go a bit higher but decided to wait for it to pull back to re-enter. I may jump back on if it dips to $7.80ish & $7.65 next week.
