SJ Running Late Today: Sorry!

NASDAQ OUTLOOK TODAY: "Stock Jock's FINAL ANSWER NASDAQ BOTTOM 2,808.00 AHEAD OF FED!"

The Labor Market remain tight. I like for yesterday's low of 3,042.00 to now not be low enough. The reason for this is simple. The NASDAQ looked to today's economic information to show that the economy had slowed down. The revised GDP didn't reflect that nor did the labor report. The fact is with no slowing in the economy the FED isn't done. Yesterday's rally was impressive in it did have more volume but to many NASDAQ stocks didn't hit bottom. Capitulation was not found either as stocks didn't run into fear and drop massively fast then rise faster. Yes, at 3042.00 the market did turn but it didn't have a bottom where it turned fast. It took seemingly forever for the rally to unfold as it did more and more investors played follow the leader.

For the likes of JDSU and YHOO as well as INTC to not even go as low as they did on 3,221.00 on 4/17/00 with the NASDAQ some 179.00 points lower then 3,221.00 at its lowest point yesterday of 3,042.00 it says plenty that a bottom wasn't found. The NASDAQ now has an area of resistance set up at 3390.00. This are is one that will take plenty of volume to break. The way I look at it the NASDAQ rally yesterday told us very little as it didn't have the conviction the massive volume like 100 million on CSCO and JDSU 40 million and YHOO 14 million. It still remains undefined and unwashed out. The NASDAQ index is made up of several stocks and for some to find 4/17/00 bottoms and more and other not to come close tells me that more positioning was needed to set the NASDAQ up for its final fall. I like a rally where a real rally should be following the FED. Once the NASDAQ goes under 3,000 and then 2,900.00 It will be at a point where many have given up on it. ( a great place to buy in as the majority is almost always is the minority in making money!) This is where I believe the FED and the NASDAQ Market Makers and Fund Managers want it to be. Then seemingly when nothing is left of it that's where Greenspan plays hero doesn't raise on June 16, 2000 and the NASDAQ and the DOW for that matter have the NEWS they need and the OK that the market is OK to buy again. After a drop of some 2,000 points in 120 days. The rally isn't going be 234.00 points. I think I am pretty safe to say that massive volume will precede a bottom like we had on 4/17/00. It also stands to history that a bottom will be made on a gap down as NASDAQ Market Makers and Fund Managers have a leg up on the rest of us "little guy" individual investors.

THE NUMBERS TO 2,808.00

The NASDAQ went up 284 last week to then drop exactly 284.00 more points to find 3,162.00 the low before yesterday's new inter day low of 3,042.00. Using this formula that has proven right time and time again we then look at the rally range yesterday. (3,042.00 - 3,276.00 = 234.00) 3,042.00- 234.00 = 2,808.00. The NASDAQ as well as its leader CSCO dropping to $50.00 and setting up a triple bottom of $50.00 has already told us we lose 3,000 atleast. CSCO was $55.50 at 3,221.00 on 4/17/00. CSCO $55.50 -$50.00 = $5.50 0r about 10% to 49.95 close enough. Therefore the NASDAQ at 3221.00 - 10% = 2,898.00 atleast. I like 2,808.00 because the NASDAQ has a "gap up" to fill at 2,812.00. This bottom will be one that would fill in the chart and set up a bottom and leave the market in a positron to rally.

THE NASDAQ RANGES TODAY:

3276.00 is a BIG NUMBER now! It is almost as big as 3,390.00. I will cover half my shorts at 3,310.00 and then I will call myself wrong on my prediction if the NASDAQ breaks 3,390.00 before it sees sub 3,000.00. I look for the NASDAQ to have profit takers today. MSFT has all lots of impact on this market as well as GDP and tight labor market. The end is near but not here yet under 2900.00 we will have it, and bad news from it creates more sellers. I don't think the NASDAQ will even break 3276.00 and hold it long.. The truth is this was a move up to set up a move down.
