NASDAQ OUTLOOK TODAY:

Stock Fans, The index just missed 4100.00 yesterday. The index has added on about 100.00 points since the FED decided to leave rates alone last week. The index missed 4100.00 an area that once it cleared 4177.00 it should have found. The fact that the index held 4048.00 now sets that reading up as support. The index could make a move up to 4100.00 and if it does cod break out and trade over 4125.80 where its next area of resistance is.

The index now finally trading in the black for 2000.00 may have investors with a large surplus of cash come into the market. The index also could have FM's eager to put clients cash to work as the end of the month comes. Today I don't see the index going much higher then 4100.00 and it could set up a trading range of 4055.00 -4111.00 today.

NASDAQ KEY INDICATORS TODAY:
Sell Off: Short if Index loses 4025.00 (add if it loses 4002)
Support: 4048.41 (Yesterday's Low)
Resistance:4125.80 ( 7/22/00 high)
Break Out: GO LONG over 4130.00 +
**********************************************
Today's "Play of The Day!" is: Copper Mountain (NASDAQ:CMTN)

CMTN, has been hit hard of late as it continued to slide yesterday into the close as it appeared this one may have been shorted. It has been as low as 51.50 in the last 200 days as CMTN is nearing a year low. It should be good for a 15% bounce off its predicted bottom. The stock doesn't appear based on technical and narrower trading ranges to have bottomed yet. It looks as if CMTN is nearing what could be called the reverse of a blow off top. In other words it need to have a big move down fast as the final sellers get out of the stock, and allow the shorts to cover. It looks as if CMTN bottoms right off the open today. 60.00 should not happen before shares of CMTN retrace their range from yesterday ad falls under 55.00 and finds 53.8750 as a buy area. CMTN should as I said earlier hold 51.50 today, but lose 55.00 then bounce back to 60.00-62.00 as buyers come back in. If it clears 62.00 its a stock to be long on as it could find 66.00 in a hurry off 62.00.

KEY INDICATORS: CMTN
Buy Area: 53.8750-54.25
Sell Stop: 51.00 ( if it loses 51.00 its in trouble)
1 DAY TARGET: 59.8750-61.00
Time Frame: today
Type of Trade: daytrade.
VOLUME is KEY: 5 million would be perfect to bottom it.

BONUS PLAY #1 F5 Networks (NASDAQ:FFIV)

FFIV, has 2 good things going for it. First, it had earnings last quarter that were better than expected. Second, it could be on the buy out block as it has been rumored now for a few days that FFIV, could be acquired. One of its suitors could be EXTR as it has been mentioned in the space. Regardless FFIV broke out yesterday on added volume as it added on nicely over 3.00 points. The stock has a recent high of just over 55.00. based on yesterdays close that would be a move up more then 2.8750 from yesterday's high. The stock looks good to bust out and could go as high as 59.00 today as it could run right off the open. It traded 33% more volume then normal yesterday. This has been a perfect formula in the past for a stock such as this to break out and trade just under 60.00 as soon as maybe today!

KEY INDICATORS: FFIV
Buy Area: 51.8750-52.25
Sell Stop: 48.00 (solid support)
1 DAY TARGET: 54.00- 55.00
1-3 DAY TARGET: 57.00-59.25 + (It could break out nicely over 60.00!)

Technicals ONLY. 116.87 critical support for INKT today. If it loses that 111 is next and after that I wouldn't want to be long...let's put it that way. Nasdaq looks as if it's headed for a climatic short term top this week at or around 4200. INKT could trade range bound between 111 and 120 until that time, but after that, I am looking for INKT to get hit harder with sellers.
