A revenue warning from Intel that wasn't as bad as expected sent stocks sharply higher during the day, and investors also cheered a weaker-than-expected unemployment report even though it revealed some wage pressures.

After the close, the Florida Supreme Court gave us one more reason to wait for a clean breakout before calling a bottom. The Nasdaq 100 closed right at the neckline of its inverted head-and-shoulders bottom (2895). A close above 2953, breaking the pattern by 2%, would give the Nasdaq 100 minimum upside potential to 3350. One big positive today is that the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index easily negated its recent breakdown at 600 with a close of 638.
The ISDEX is also forming an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern, and would take it out with a close above 500.
The S&P 500 is holding its lower support line, but we have to wonder if its advance is forming a bearish rising wedge, indicating a possible retest of the lows. 1400 is critical resistance.
The Dow is so far holding the 10,600-10,650 range, a source of much support and resistance lately. A break of 10,600 could indicate a retest of the 10,380 area, and a move above 10,900 would be a positive.
