Weekly Commentary
Number of Breakouts Falls as Markets Consolidate

The NASDAQ slipped 2.3% this week after reaching a new all time high on Wednesday. The new high was followed by a sharp sell-off on Thursday with the NASDAQ dropping 9%. Friday saw a modest recovery of just 1%. The reason for Thursday's rout was unclear with some analysts blaming the Fed for Wednesday's announcement that full employment wouldn't return until 2022, while others blamed the accelerating clovid-19 cases in several states. What could not be doubted is that the markets were over extended and it was time for a bout of consolidation.

Friday's modest recovery came on less than average volume and could perhaps be attributed to the current 'buy the dip' mentality. Realistically, a fall to the 9250 support level is possible.
NASDAQ Chart
There was only one breakout from a cup and handle pattern this week while 5 from a Volatility Squeeze pattern were all under water at Friday's close.
Chart of the Week
This week's chart is taken from Friday's Cup and Handle watchlist. It is GlobalScape Inc (GSB). This stock broke out of a Volatility Squeeze pattern on June 3 although volume didn't meet our 1.5 times ADV requirement to be recognized officially as a breakout. It then set a new pivot on Monday of this week and has since formed a classic handle with a strong move up on Friday on more than 2 times ADV. While not recommending GSB as a buy, I think it is worth monitoring on Monday.
