My thoughts on the Nasdaq's chart are below. Perhaps this morning's strength will wipe out my concerns about this little rally rolling over but for now I'm not trusting this gap up. A close above 2,157 on good volume would greatly lessen my concern about this rally failing. In fact, I may use a break of that level as my trigger to get long today...
