Over 20 Breakouts as NASDAQ Recovers

The NASDAQ found support at the 50 day average level on Monday and continued to climb buoyed by Apple's strong earnings report and positive forward guidance, unchanged interest rates as the Fed reported the economy is strong, and an employment report that revised upwards last quarter's employment growth, lowered the unemployment rate to 3.9% and showed wages are rising at below the inflation rate. For the week, the NASDAQ gained 1% and could soon test resistance at 7933.

Four days of upward momentum produced 21 breakouts with the cup and handle pattern delivering 10 while the Double Bottom pattern continued last weeks good performance with 7 breakouts averaging an 8.8% gain.
