Subject: Re: [RT] Worst week over
I'm not at all sure that the decline is over, however I think it may be
over for a few days as a number of the indexes reached areas of support
confluence. We had 6:1 down volume on NYSE and 9:1 on NASDAQ and these
levels can be near extreme. I covered my ES and NQ shorts just before the
close Friday and went flat as I think odds are good for a bounce on Monday. I
will be looking to put those shorts back on any rally here.
In the bigger picture, major trendlines from the March 2003 lows were
taken out in all major indexes confirming the severity of the break. That TL
was important enough that I would not be surprised to see it re-tested from
underneath. The volume on Friday's decline was very heavy so I would expect,
at a minimum, that any rally will have to retest the lows. My view, at the
moment, is that the market is signaling the high probability of a recession
late this year.

Subject: [RT] Worst week over
The worst week of the year is over. Am I talking about
the markets? No - I'm
talking about TAX Deadline week but it could be
true for the markets as
well. My Total Market Model reversed to bullish
mode on Friday and there are
a huge number of stocks signaling a reversal
for Monday-Tuesday so my guess
is we have relieved most of the selling
pressure and given any kind of
positive impulses, we will see an up
market next week..
In the DOW 30 I would be shorting JNJ,MRK, PFE &
PG and buying the rest. The
NASDAQ should also be strong next
week.
Good trading.
