Monday Monday

Markets mirrored Fridays action somewhat while finishing lower, but off their lows for the day. Tech took the hardest beating, specifically semis as WFC downgraded the sector. Semis we must remember have been the strongest sector as of late so when the leaders get hit attention must be paid. That being said they have had a huge run. Indexes themselves remain above their 50 day MAs, although the Nasdaq was below that line intraday, but rallied to finish with support there. Volume was mixed. Along with the chips, fiber optics, transports, and networkers were hit. Silver was the best performinng group. The VXX and SDS are both challenging their 50 day MAs. Could be clues to where the indexes are headed. After hours URBN was plunging, and tomorrow we can expect DKS to report in the morning and FNSR after the close.

Stocks near buy points include RES 22.68 in a cup base, and HS 38.85 in a 3 weeks tight pattern. Remaining defensive is prudent here, and make selective purchases near support lines, or breakout points on heavy volume. As always cut losses quickly, especially in this type of environment.
