A nice recovery today, but on very light volume. We'll wait for Monday to see if it's for real. A lot of major technical damage has been done to the market, and it's not going to correct in one trading day. The Nasdaq may be forming a falling wedge here, a sign that sellers could be running out of steam. A break above that upper trendline (first chart) at about 3925-3950 could mean that the bottom is in. Again, advances out of falling wedges tend to be slow ones. It is a plus that the Nasdaq quickly recovered above the large trendline marking the start of its top two years ago (second chart).
The ISDEX ran into two trendlines today, a previous support line and a downtrend line. A break above 470 could give Net stocks room to run.
The S&P 500 broke its 1994 logarithmic trendline (first chart) at 1369 by more than 2% on Wednesday, and took out 1330 support in the process. If it can recover back above that line in the next couple of days, that would be a positive. The index is sending mixed signals in the daily chart: it is either forming a bearish head-and-shoulders pattern, or a bullish falling wedge (second chart). A break of that upper trendline at 1350 would be a real positive.
The Dow looks good, holding critical 10,380 support, as we've pointed out, but the index is beginning to look like it's forming a 600-point descending triangle, indicating a possible retest of the 9,750 level. A lot of mixed signals in the market today. We're entering a seasonally positive season, but it will also be warning season again soon. We'll know soon enough which side will win out.
