Daily Outlook #1691  February 9, 2007

Friday Pre-Lunch Comments

Quick Late Friday Morning comment:

The NASD and NDX have done enough upside work to turn their 3-day trends up, but for the rest of the day they have to hold Thursday's lows, 2477.71 and 1800.63. And, it looks like those levels will be broken later today.

The Dow stalled just above 12,670 and slide lower. While it popped up from 12,645 back to 12,670 from 11:00 to 11:25 AM, the total breadth line continued lower. If total breadth does not improve soon a negative condition, which is often difficult to overcome, will be established.

The S&P 500 is flirting with an uptrend line and a break of 1447 should signal lower prices to come. On the Dow a similar line runs through about 12,650 so a move to new lows for the day will constitute a potentially important break. On the flip side, these are the price points the trend runners should be looking to buy over the balance of the day. Unless or until til it breaks.....

At this point we have a flat market after a positive open. The internals have weakened more than the indices reflect and while the indices have stabilized, we have seen some additional internal deterioration.

In short, falling below the morning lows should set a negative tone for the balance of the day.

The weekend report will go out on Sunday Morning
