Stocks sold off yet again but this time it did so on higher volume which is helping make my point that selling can start off slowly and pickup as it sells off. If you look at the downtrend since last February, you can see that this is the case now as it has been in the past with other market selloffs.
The good news, today, is that, like most sessions recently, the market staged a very volatile and powerful reversal. This time it was to the bull side and it was needed for the trapped longs as stocks looked like they were going to put in another very bearish day of trading.
The past two days has the feeling of a market that is ready to start its downtrend, once again. This would be the third leg down, since the top in November. And just like when the market topped, there are still way too many people that are looking to buy stocks here. If more people were not looking for a bottom, we could look at this selloff as a bullish situation as it would get us one step closer to a real bottom where we can get HOT charts again. Too bad we don’t have anything new and fresh setting up out there. Instead it is the same mess everywhere, and when that is taken with all the “dumb” money looking for a bottom, you have a market that could get very ugly.
And very ugly is not what people are looking for. Now, I know the data we are receiving out there is very bearish and I do know that we have had a 24% pullback in the Nasdaq. However, that simply is not going to cut it right now. Like I have said, too many people are looking for a bottom, and some very ignorant (who think they are very smart) people are starting to make some bold statements.

Telechart is the only charting program for me. After using several different other services before signing up to Telechart in 1998, I had no idea what I was missing. The ability to scroll through hundreds and hundreds of charts in minutes looking for the best patterns is worth the price alone. The clarity of the charts and the ability to switch time frames and zoom in levels with one keystorke are other features that saves me hours a day when searching for stocks. The most important feature was the ability to create a PCF and easyscan using simple criteria that I want to see in my charts. If you can think of it, Telechart has it. But if you want to know the best thing about the product it is the price. Telechart offers you way more bang for your dollar than any other service out there. If you are not using Telechart, I am not sure how you can trade for a living. Make the switch and you will see why Telechart has been voted the best stock market software for under $500 a year for the past 14 years by readers of Stocks & Commodities Magazine.
