Weekly Commentary
Patiently Waiting for a Follow Through Day

The NASDAQ set a new intraday low on Monday but went on to close 13% above that low, despite profit taking before Friday's close. There is a possibility that Monday's low will in future be seen as the market bottom, following the passage of the $2trillion rescue package, combined with the support announced by the Fed (new credit facilities,purchase of investment-grade corporate bonds, municipal debt, and U.S.-listed exchange ETFs for investment grade corporate bonds).

The chart below shows that following the low set on Monday. March 23, the index closed higher that day and continued to move higher until Thursday which was day 4 of the (possible) recovery. Under the O'Neil method for recognizing a market bottom, we look for a 'follow-through day' on the 4th through 7th day of the low. The requirement is that a follow through day must meet the condition of closing higher, on higher volume , than the day before. We can see that day 4 did not meet the condition, and neither did day 5.
