Got out of ALN just before lunch, nice little profit banked
away in time hopefully for an increase in the interest rate (lol)
there it can sit until I sort out the next target.
Yes I know ALN is bound to continue to go UP now I've sold but
know what...I don't care!!!! (giggle!)
Off to check stock-watch......

- but considering the amount of support there it's not doing anything....... quite a few orders are being pulled - then a few min later put back, and then later pulled etc. etc. 22 AT trades in the last 30 min!

Dow 10500 is stopping Ftse breaking 4400.
Even if we don't go up today, as long as the Ftse
doesn't make a lower low than yesterday, then it could
give it a base to work from.
Nothing set in concrete yet though. ;-)

I've taken today's profit on my stock longs when the Ftse/Dow
hit 4400/10500.
Waiting for direction now. Will watch for a possible UKX short.
Market will be cautious ahead of BOE decision tomorrow.
US will have an eye on Friday's employment figures.
Melnibone.

Anyone else get the feeling that the US is going to drop
when the UK closes?
Doesn't seem to want to go beyond making up the gap open
lower.

As you can see by the last bar on the above chart, we are now
set up for what could be a swing low.
The higher high and higher low have come at the end of an easily
identifiable downtrend, and yesterdays narrow open/close range
suggests selling pressure drying up. In fact, yesterday almost made
a classic 'Hanging Man' reversal candle. Check it out on a chart that
shows the market bottom last March 2003.
I don't want to jump in straight away due to the overvalued, dithering
US market and the unknown reaction to tomorrows as yet unknown
BOE decision. I'm also a bit wary of the Ftse not checking out
4330, seeing as we so close to it.
Tomorrows range should cover today's close, so there's no rush IMHO.
Melnibone.
