Let’s start by pointing out a few of the obvious; I posted a set of Daily/Weekly charts SOX/SMH for comparison. The daily and weekly SOX chart resistance is the 200ma for both charts… see post: * and **
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From another post on 6/28/04: http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=3440793 QQQ Top of cycle INDU:COMPQ~QQQ #msg-3439482 but looking at the NDX/QQQ weekly #msg-3440386 says more room to play 38/38.20? Much resistance overhead. Since the semi conductors are mid cycle INDU:SOX~SMH #msg-3439624 “neutral” it would be nice for my positions if an over reaction occurred in the chips that helped get the masses foaming at the mouth pushing the nasd/tech/NWX related/QQQ to extreme over bought on the NDX~QQQ Daily #msg-3440783 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The QQQ hit roughly 37.90 The SMH ytd fibs, fibs fans chart faked a breakout above the 50% fib fan and actually closed above the 23.63% fib retrace. At the same time the SOX faked a breakout above its downtrend line only to be stopped with the 200ma’s daily/weekly We all know what followed
So… now its looking like a double bottom before a market sell off excuse, “terrorist vulnerable weekend” I considered trying to play it cute and by QQQ calls at the end of Friday/SMH double bottom… but why risk it only to have the position railroaded from a negative geo-political event/terrorist attack. Or more importantly; the relief rise we may get Monday could be shut down by the SMH 50/300ma crossing, currently above us. BTW all ema’s are currently above SMH price Daily chart.
It’s earnings next week and I’m sure I’m not alone when I say, “Show me”
Notes for the SMH fibs, fib fans 2Year and Year to Date charts The price channels turned down. Failure of a double bottom sends it much lower. See projection on the QQQ 2 Year fibs fib fans chart for support of long-term trend.
Projections are a worse case scenario… I don’t expect it but it’s something to keep an eye on. Meanwhile I will play the RSI signals
Holding 10/10 QQQ puts/calls Sept.
I hope I didn’t leave anything out… my head is swimming, I’m sick again… I don’t remember catching colds like this before I had my daughter… she’s building her immune system again:) seams to find every bug that passes by town and bring it home to me…. She is so sweet bless her hart–VBG-
