Last weekend we stated “… the indexes appear poised to rally here.” and that’s exactly what happened. But will we see follow through next week? Most major Stock market Indexes closed near their highs for the week and closed above the pivot open/close of the small double bottom formation they have. The lows of that double bottom formation are mostly seen on March 10/11 and March 17th. By many trading standards these double bottoms are confirmed and would suggest more rally at least to the measure of the double bottom heights. For the DJ-30 this would be a conservative target of 12,554 and for the SP-500 a target of approx. 1,365. Of course it helped that the FED showed some balls this week with a nice hefty rate cut. Breadth overall for the week was positive roughly in the order of +15% which is actually a rather mildly positive reading. This, in our view, is breadth not really confirming the market advance. This mildly positive breadth reading in light of the FED’s latest action suggests traders and investors saying “Thanks Ben, but a bit too late now buddy.” It would not be surprising to see the indexes rollover next week for more downside exploration or at best to consolidate last weeks gains. Of course, the upside double bottom targets might be taken out first before the rollover. Perhaps Monday we will see a head fake move to the upside and then down all week? This would be a mirror image of last week as the Bigs got to burn those who got short on Monday’s downside fake move. Perhaps they will sucker in some longs on Monday now?
