Focus List 6/7 - Gap up after a breakdown

Geoff Bysshe | June 7, 2011

Market Comments:
The market was not down on huge volume yesterday, but it was a day where the bears were in control and many stocks closed well below the prior day's lows. This means that prior day low (Friday's) will not be a very important resistance level. For shorts - especially the market indexes. It will also make for a good day to fade gap ups.

For longs I'm focusing on stocks with positive stack or inside day's or very strong daily charts. There is a good chance that if the market rallies it will be led by the stocks  that are beat up - not the strong ones so I'll watch out for that.
