Still Going
This morning I mentioned that the “trend was up.” It seems that we
have continued with that trend. The futures held 3080, another positive
sign.Â
As I mentioned on Monday, I was watching for Cisco to make a second close
under the 50 mark that so many people have called the key level. It rallied back
within the first hour of trading, which is a positive sign
Currently, Cisco is completing an intraday cup with handle. Intraday
resistance remains at 52.
Once again, the daily chart patterns are getting chopped up, so
I will take a look at several intraday setups.
Before we move forward with a plan for the rest of the day, let’s
see where the various tech groups stand.

its five-minute chart. In a rally, watch for a breakout from the short-term
descending channel to offer a long opportunity. In a weak market, look for a
move to the downside.
Remember that today is the last day for some mutual funds to complete their
tax loss selling, so expect volatility as the market on close orders appear.
Until later,
