qqqq is leading the market but do you read anything into the weaker rebound of the other indicies? Does that minimize the bounce today?

Hadman,
The bounce today was led by the SOX which broke out of a base. The SOX has generally been lagging, but if it can hold on to these gains, we could move higher due to sector rotation.

THANKS! I will keep a close eye on SMH and SOX. Tomorrow should be an important day.
