From Cabot Top Ten Trader
Our thought that March 23 would prove to be a workable low was correct, and the past three weeks have seen the major indexes recoup 40% to 55% of their crash declines (depend on the index). It’s obviously been good to see, as is the continued constructive action in many stocks; it appears the wheat is separating from the chaff. Still, we think the next week or two will be the key juncture—if the major indexes can ramp from here, the intermediate-term trend would turn up and could coincide with some powerful breakouts. On the flip side, if the sellers reappear, a deeper pullback or a retest of the lows could be on tap. Right now, we’re optimistic, but we never anticipate signals; today, with the trend still down, you should remain defensive.
