Watch Those Trendlines

Today was a pretty good day for the bulls, although sellers did step in late in the day to push the market back down a bit. The NASDAQ and S&P were stopped at those downward sloping trendlines I've been pointing out. (damn those technicians!)

The NASDAQ chart really illustrates how the bears got trapped by this morning's gap. Just about everybody who shorted yesterday was underwater as soon as the market opened. That's just the opposite of the trapped bulls from the gap down three days ago. Such fun.

I actually like the action from a bullish standpoint. The upper Bollinger Bands may be the next stop for the indices. I snagged a few more longs today and I'll likely look to exit them if and when the indices approach the upper bands.

Quoted

"With an individual stock, you absolutely have to have a stop-loss point, because you never know how far down the stock is going. I remember selling a $100 stock one time and it eventually went to $1. I didn't have any idea it was going down that far, but what would have happened if I had held on to it? One mistake like that and you can't come back." ~ William O'Neil
