NASDAQ Technical Picture - Low Volume Extension


The market is extended and this rally has been on low volume so I expect a technical correction soon. Today's doji could form part of a bearish doji morning star if we open and close lower tomorrow.

Thanks Jamie. I really like your nasdaq recaps.

Do you put any weight into sentiment indicators like COT reports, TRIN index, etc?

Thanks!

Thanks Hadman,

Those are probably good things to monitor but I don't. I used to watch the TRIN but never really understood it so I stopped. I watch the Compq and QQQQs intraday especially in reference to the OR.
