GOOG gapped up big time today after excellent earning report. It now looks like we are back in dot com boom era when stocks move 20 points or more in a single day.

INDU is now at year’s low. The support at 9800 was borken slightly at higher than average volume. It’s very weak now. Let’s see if it can hold up above 9700. The next support is at 9500.

SPX is likely seeking support between 1095 and 1065.

RUT is in better shape with support at 560.

QQQ is so far the best among major indexes. The uptrend channel is still intact despite today’s big drop. The volume is slightly above average level.

MSFT is hurt by disappointing earning data. The support is at 27. The high volume yesterday indicated heavy selling into the resistence of previous big gap down.

INTC did not fall too much among today’s big selling in tech related stocks, which means the market has much consensus at this level. Today’s volume is light.

INTC

INTC closed lower today. However, AH, INTL announced earning, slight better than the lowered forcast by the street. It went up to 21.04. Let’s see how the market reacts. I still hold 15 Oct 25C calls. Maybe I can get 0.05 each tomorrow morning. I rolled all Oct 22.5C to Nov 22.5C and Nov 20C. Will sell Nov 25C.

Do we see the bottom yet?

All major indexes broke their support levels and they are all at year low right now. As earning report season is almost over and oil price has hit new high, what would be the triggering point to move market lower?
