Weekly Commentary
Trend is Still Down Despite Record Week for Markets

The NASDAQ gained 11% this week in what Marketwatch called the best week for stocks in 45 years. Nevertheless our trend model still considers that the overall market direction is negative. Although that results from a purely technical analysis, many market observers who compare this rally to previous meltdowns of this scale, believe the March low will be retested in the coming weeks (example). Has the reality of the hit to the economy of 16 million unemployed (and climbing) yet been priced into the market? We could learn more next week as the Q1 earnings season begins and companies report forward guidance.

This week I've chosen a cup and handle pattern stock to watch on Monday: MSCI inc. MSCI Inc., together with its subsidiaries, provides investment decision support tools for the clients to manage their investment processes worldwide. Thursday's volume was above the 50 day average and above that of the day before. The stock is above both it's 50 and 200 day moving average. A breakout could test resistance at 322.
