Weekly Commentary
Market Trend Negative Despite NASDAQ Flat Finish

Despite huge gyrations in markets this week, the NASDAQ finished the week practically unchanged from last week's close. The index is testing support at the 200 day moving average level whereas the DJI and S&P 500 are already well below that psychological support level. Friday's strong economic report failed to prevent another sell-off a traders recognized that it was a view in the rear view mirror while there was darkness ahead. The markets recovered in the afternoon, perhaps in anticipation of an expected further rate cut at next week's FOMC meeting, but the NASDAQ was still down almost 2% at the close.

Volatility Squeeze Breakout AIH

A filter for stocks under accumulation and with above average volume on the Volatility Squeeze watchlist on Monday 03/02 would have selected AIH. The strong price increase that day, coupled with well above average volume and accelerating momentum were an indication that AIH was a likely breakout the next day. We issued an alert at 09:35 and the stock went on to make a gain of 23% by Friday's close.
