RF,

Yes that would work just fine. I would be carefull about trusting the
dMA's and Bollinger for support here though. I have been crushed a 
few times, when I *assumed* these supports would hold. :)

Usually, I like to go with some kind of MA , or pattern breakthrough
at these times. It IS nice if the breakout also goes in the direction
of the intermmediate trend.
