[RT] Re: NASDAQ Momentum Waning?

It would require a close above 3885 in June ND futures to require a
re-evaluation of the impulsive decline price structure outlined in the
market outlook I posted this weekend - special note should be take of my
comments regarding time i.e. a few days of trading is immaterial to the
longer term picture. Even if the correction turns out to be a simple
ABC, more time will be required (Bob Miner's Dynamic Trading book is an
excellent reference on the use of price and time projections according
to pattern stage). None of my NASDAQ breadth models suggest that a
bottom is in place. NYSE models could fire a buy signal on close if
today's breadth is good, however I am not impatient to shovel money into
this market.

Also worth noting that rates on high grade commercial bonds have started
moving up again across the yield curve ... interest rate pressures are
building in spite of the nice rally in treasuries.
