OUTLOOK
The Dow rallies strongly on the back of better than expected earnings announcements from index heavyweights [Stocks Rally to the End|CNBC.com|16 Apr 04:53 PM ET] . Intel, JP Morgan Chase and Coca Cola top estimates and raise guidance [Intel stock climbs on Q2 forecast|Wednesday, April 16 1:37 PM PDT] , [JPMorgan Chase top forecasts|Apr 16: 12:50 PM EDT] , [Reuters|Coca-Cola tops estimates|Apr 16, 3:07 pm ET] . The stock market cheers and ignores the glum economic headlines [Consumer Prices Rise|Reuters|16 Apr| 08:53 AM ET] , [Fed Sees Weakening US Economy|Reuters|16Apr| 03:14 PM ET] . Yesterday's ODR alert [Whipsaw|DJIA 4/15/08] lives up to its name and today's 256.8 pt advance signals a confirmation of the swing reversal. The rising turnover and positive breadth indicators imply broad participation. The Dow returns above the broken short term trendline and the following technical signals become apparent in the daily chart. Today's market advance (1) confirms the validity of yesterday's ODR, (2) implies that the index has started a fresh upswing, and (3) establishes that the index found a new minor support yesterday. (4) Also, the Dow's close near the highs implies that the buying may not be done and could spill over tomorrow. Positive earnings announcements by IBM and EBay after the closing bell seem to support this sentiment [IBM profit rises|Apr 16 4:24pm EDT] , [EBay profit rises 22 pct|Apr 16 7:15pm EDT] . All these factors insinuate to shore up the momentum of the fresh upswing. The bigger trends remain in consolidation though so there is no need to revise our price objective. Technically, this optimism is confined to the short term trend, for now.
