Twick, I'm updated a bunch of charts -including MSFT and IBM, I'll post them soon.

I was bearish last night, that's why I was gone today!That was NOT true capitulation yesterday, no matter how the media spins it. Close, but not yet.

I knew if I stayed around all the bullishness of SI and cnbc, I'd get shaken out of the short sale trade I planned,(shorting an attempted break of the 20 EMA on the daily NDX and NQ chart). It was one of those great setups you don't see that often.

There were posts predicting a 300 point rally lasting a month or more last night, and my gut feel said it would never make it past the daily EMA, since it had not been able to since May.

And both the May breakout and the March breakout failed miserably after trapping so many longs - the 20 EMA daily has not held as support since January, so I knew it most likely would not break and hold it on the first attempt. ESPECIALLY since this same area of resistance was also at Comp 1400, the 1/2 way points of the 3 black crows AND 50 EMA resistance on another time frame. That entire yellow area that I've highlighted on the Comp charts the past few nights.

So I waited for the first attempt and failure around 11 am, put my order in, a stop above it and left for the beach <VBG>

I only called in once during the day too, to move the stop down. Much nicer than watching every candle on a 1 min chart and getting shaken out right before it goes the way you think it will!

I think the index is in trouble tomorrow due to Intel, the crashing dollar and apparently Greenie's speech.
Which was the other reason I stayed away today, nothing like a Greenspan speech to drive a future's trader nuts, they move up and down on every single word. Enough to make you lose your mind.

Both the IBM and MSFT charts are totally bearish still...

May try to run into the report, but it will only be short covering IMO. Same with IBM.

If either of them say wonderful things I will be truly surprised.

IBM weekly with bearflag

MSFT weekly with HUGE bearflag, do or die right here
