No Filler
With so many tech stocks breaking their bullish daily patterns with
Wednesday’s gap lower, I thought that we could look at several intraday setups.
Although Cisco was able to rebound before the open, a majority of tech stocks
remain weak intraday, with few of the big names showing bullish patterns.

PowerRating) bounced
a bit off the open, but is currently testing its morning lows. Watch for a close
below the 124 area, intraday, and a continuation on the following bar. While it
is already trading below this level, it may rebound by print time.

PowerRating) is trading in a consolidation pattern and has
not filled its gap. Intraday, there is still a bearish tone. Set your alerts
near the high and low of the trading range and watch for a move outside of these
boundaries. Remember that this pattern has no directional bias, so it could go
either way. If it breaks to the upside, look for a test of the morning high,
followed by a potential filling of the gap. On the downside, watch for a test of
the morning lows followed by a continuation move toward 108 and 105.

PowerRating) gapped lower as well and remains in a
downtrending channel. There are two ways to use this pattern. The first is to
continue to watch for movement within the channel and take advantage of bounces
off the trendline. The second method is to wait for a move outside of the
channel, the top or bottom, and then take a position based on a breakdown or
breakout.
