Quarter-end window dressing and portfolio rebalancing provided several good trends today in the Nasdaq. From the open, the index rallied slightly, and then headed toward the lows in a measured move. Following a rally, the $COMPX foundĀ  its ultimate lows near the 2nd volatility band (on the $NDX) and shot up to green in a hurry. The action has the Nasdaq composite closing in a cup and handle pattern.

While this pattern is better known as an intermediate-term pattern, the fact is, it works in any time frame. The handle tends to shake out weak hands, preparing for a rally above the lip of the cup. If the rally is accompanied by volume, it can be strong move.

On the daily candlestick chart, today's action creates a Hammer. This formation typically signifies the end of a downtrend, and a continuation to the upside tomorrow would signal a Haggerty 1-2-3 bottom.

We shall see.
