DJIA 4/15/08 STOCK MARKET TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

OUTLOOK
The Dow gets a modest lift of +60.41(0.49%) on choppy trading [AP|Stocks rise in erratic trading|Tuesday April 15, 3:22 pm ET] as the market issues mixed reactions to Wall Street deals and earnings announcements [AP|J&J profit jumps 40 pct|Tuesday April 15, 2:41 pm ET], [Energy, banks boost Wall Street|Tue Apr 15, 2008 2:29pm EDT], [AP|Delta, Northwest deal fails to thrill investors|Tuesday April 15, 12:39 pm ET]. Investors also get an inflation warning from the Fed dimming the chances of further rate cuts [Inflation Is Becoming a Big Problem, Fed|AP | 15 Apr 2008 | 11:05 AM ET]. After a 9-day downswing, we get a One Day Reversal (ODR) signal. An ODR alerts us to a possible swing reversal. In this case, a higher accompanying turnover wouldve been more encouraging. But let's wait for a next day confirmation anyway. The index is on its 3rd day below the broken uptrendline favoring the change in the short term trend notwithstanding today's ODR alert.
