Even if this is the bottom there will be way too much volatility to hold any positions long, without having a heart attack, through all of the short-term overhead resistance.
After Nasdaq posts one strong day, Traders are still going to short the intra-day breakouts and reversal patterns and hold them overnight for the chance of a huge overnight gaps (down)...or play huge swings to the downside.
Anyways, the sentiment is:
1. The CBOE put/call ratio=1.27 (slightly higher than sept reading)
2. The Nasdaq Bullish Percent Index is sitting at 40.74 (usually we get reading below 30 on this to claim a bottom. Although, this could drop to 30 in one day!)
3. Media is extremely bearish and newsletters are alerting clients to a possible test of 1986-1991 consolidation breakout of Nasdaq at 485 (they could be right, but I am just bringing light to all of the bearish tone out there RIGHT NOW.
what do you think?
