Good Morning Stock Fans!

NASDAQ OUTLOOK TODAY:

Stock Fans, 4050 was hit into the close yesterday, and now it would seem momentum traders have placed sell stop at the 200 day MA witch is now set at 3962.55. The range one of about 100.00 may set up a solid trading range as the index's current 5 day low is 3902.00 and its high 4055.00 coming yesterday. The index could after holding 4000.00 and more importantly 4011.00 yesterday now make an upward move to 4077.00 or so. 4100.00 would be a key number to set up a revisit to 4150. The July 2000 high and current 60 day high is 4289.00. This trader believes that the NASDAQ needs more positive earnings news to send it higher. With earnings over currently and not on horizon till mid September it would seem sideline money would be eager to come in as long as the index holds 3962.55.

The best way to trade the NASDAQ currently is perhaps to play it off the 200 day MA as the index increases the 200 day MA also will increase as long as that level is held the NASDAQ could make a run as investors as well as sideline money pile in as the NASDAQ is over 4000.00 again.

Low volume has been the substance of the NASDAQ current 10 day move up. Without any retest of 3 day lows along the way the index if it gets a sell off on increased volume could drop fast. I will look for its slow rise to be accompanied by volume if 4100 is going to be broken.



NASDAQ KEY INDICATORS TODAY:
Support: 200 day MA - 3962.55
Resistance: 4079.00 (July break out point that lead to 4289.00 move)

BONUS PLAY #1 Advanced Fibre Communications (NASDAQ:AFCI) SHORT

AFCI, has had several failed rallies at the 44.00 area. It is interesting to point out that both on increased volume as in relation to its 30 day average volume, and on decreased volume it has failed to break out. Since it has been unable to go higher then 44.00 or so it looks to be extremely tired as current levels. One of its technical indicators that back this up our its schocastics are way overbought and it almost certainly is due to pull back over the next 1-3 days as it should retest 39.00-38.8750 area.

KEY INDICATORS: AFCI (SHORT)
Sell Short Area: 46.1250
Buy Stop: 48.50

PRO OPTIONS TRADER MATEO'S OPTION PLAY:

Sycamore's products and product plans include optical transport, access and switching systems and end-to-end optical network management solutions.

SCMR came with earnings yesterday after the bell and they looked great. They beat the Street by .02. Now we just need to see how the Market reacts. In after hours trading SCMR sold off very quickly to 148 before rebounding to 155. I think that is excatly where they dip it to today and then it can run next week to test 170 possibly, as I believe the Nasdaq will test 4200 by Thursday August 31. So, I am looking for an entry into SCMR at 148-150 with an 8% stop.

SCMR Sept 165 Calls QSM IM - last ask 7 5/8 - If SCMR sees 170 by next week, these will be a double.
