Nasdaq 100 Tracking Stock (QQQQ) in New Upleg?
Heading into the final hour of trading, my work argues that
Mon.'s low in the QQQQ at 41.39 ended the pullback from the 4/07 high
at 43.05. Furthermore, if the rally from Mon.'s low at 41.39
started a new upleg (as my work suggests), then the initial
phase of the upleg ended this AM at 42.82. And if that is
correct, then all of the action off of this AM's high at 42.82
represents a minor pullback (perhaps incomplete) ahead
of another thrust that should propel the Q's to new 2006
highs above 43.31. Right now, any forthcoming weakness
should be contained in the 42.20/10 area ahead of the
expected next rally effort. Only a plunge that breaks Mon.'s
low at 41.39 will wreck the overall bullish pattern.
