Wheelhouse View of The Market 10.23.2011

Well the market gave us exactly what we asked for last week, some sideways action (even it it was a bit choppy). Taking a look at the indices, The Dow 30 has already broken through the September highs with next stop at the June lows; the S&P looks same so not including that chart. The Nasdaq broke through its September highs and consolidated at that level, and looks to be making an attempt to get through the flag pattern. The Russel is still within its range below the September highs, so it is lagging the big caps a bit.

Breadth is good - primary and secondary indicators on Market Monitor are in bull mode and the 10-day ratio is over 2. Markets may run into some resistance but the market seems to have buyers on the dips. I noticed it last week and it was the first time in a long while.

My plan is to trade from the long side - will be watching stocks on earnings lists on bluefin for day trades and/or swing trades. Good luck this week.
