家园 THURSDAY

News, outside of really bad or really good, is not likely to drive the market just now. It is on a technical move, an oversold bounce that was brewing after such a gutting the past month as the indices put in two downside legs after the consolidation failed in early February. The market should bounce more from here. If it does not, it is massively weak and 5000 suddenly seems not only reachable, but a level we might be happy to be at.

The major indices closes was suspect with the dojis below the 18 day EMA, but we still have to give more nod to the upside given the harsh selling, the strong rebound, the tech and chip leadership. Doesn't mean it will happen. They may be flat wrong as they were in January before the February breakdown when they looked quite good and then not so good after that drop to the bottom of the range to start the year.

We have some great upside plays moving well. Others are recovering, and if they continue to recover we will let them. If they struggle, cut the cord. We will continue to look at some upside plays; after a pause for another day or two where the market holds its gains and it will be ready for another move higher. That break could give us some good buys and might even be foreshadowed by some leaders moving out ahead of the pack.

Just in case we are putting some downside on the play list as well. There are still bearish set ups despite all of the selling and the relatively short bounce to this point. We don't want to rush in on the first tick lower; things are still oversold on a relative basis. If the market continues to move laterally or just slightly lower in a pause after the run, we don't want to barrel in on the downside. Let it make its test and if it rolls over hard on stronger volume the downside game is likely back on. Possible transition time and still a very oversold condition, so again, we need to be careful about jumping in too quickly to the downside. Some test buys of partial positions yes, but not loading the boat just yet.
