Pre-Market Review - 03/26/08




The overnight activity has remained within yesterday's trading range. Yesterday was an Inside Trading Day and (Narrow Range) NR4 and NR7 day. Yesterday, the market found support near a 50% correction of the previous day's range.
In the next day or two, look for a breakout of yesterday's range, but watch out for false breakouts. True breakouts should have expanded ranges per bar and increased volume.

YESTERDAY'S REVIEW


The long term average of the $TICK pivot ((H+L+C)/3) remained above zero most of the day indicating a more bullish sentiment than bearish. This resulted in an uptrend most of the afternoon following the 50% correction in the morning.



The $TRIN is not always a reliable indicator. Sometimes the $TRIN will show increased selling pressure with the futures market showing a consistent uptrend.
Yesterday, however, the $TRIN did confirm an increase in bullish sentiment in the afternoon with a $TRIN trend to the downside, and stabilizing near the pivot number for the previous day.




The NYSE Advance - Decline Line confirmed the futures uptrend by making higher highs and lows following the morning's correction.
