Intraday bounce setting up?

So the overanxious Bulls rushed in to buy and were met with short sellers. We continue to believe that stronger dip buyers lurk around the NAZZ 2165 to 2170 level. With that said, we are glad that we did not rush in with the immature Bovines but are now looking to scale into some long QQQQ positions for a short-term trade.

Oh and by the way, for the last two weeks we have been preaching that Oil would head towards the $65 price point on the run that started at $56/barrel. Oil has indeed cooperated for us, as such we are selling more of our energy plays into that strength.

MSFT is giving up a lot of its recent gains (down 1.7% as we write). This is actually making the averages look worse than they really are. With Semis and Small Caps flat to slightly down and breadth a tad weak, we think the makings of a playable intraday bounce has arrived. Our stops are tight and our profit target is to the underside of the uptrend line on the NAZZ from July 11, 2005. This would be around NAZZ 2190-ish.

-Just throwing in a sacrifice to the long-side trading Gods.
