What To Do When You’re Trading At Intraday Highs…

After an early run-up, we’re trading near the 1.5 volatility band on the
S&P and SOX, and at the 1.28 band on the
NDX. This, combined with the fact
that we’re above the .618 retracement of the 11/13 – 12/2 move, suggests a
pullback soon, perhaps as early as this afternoon, if we get to the .786 level
(if we continue up today, look for a pullback tomorrow, though).

is trading up on news that Vodafone isn’t selling its stake
in the company. The telecoms are all up today, and VZ has already taken out its
12/2 high. It could rally this afternoon.
