 Weekly Commentary  

NASDAQ Composite

We are still traveling with only occasional internet access so the weekly commentary is limited again this week.

The NASDAQ Composite is in an ascending triangle pattern and faces resistance at 2942 where the index will intersect with the descending resistance line. Consistently lower than average volume indicates continued uncertainty about the direction of the domestic and global markets and we are unlikely to seea breakout until there is a confidence building event.
