Weekly Commentary

The NASDAQ Composite rose 1.8% for the week on above average volume on Wednesday and Thursday. This lifted the number of breakouts to 20 from last week's anemic 12. Volatility Squeeze breakouts were again dominant.

Despite a positive week for the markets, our trend indicators remain negative. Note that the markets retreated on Friday following the shooting of a policeman in Paris which was seen as improving the prospects of populist Marin Le Pen in Sunday's election in France. A win for Mme. Le Pen could have a negative effect on the markets on Monday.
