Is this what going "parabolic" looks like?

Aug 8

Everyone is well aware of the fact that the Fed will soon be cutting interest rates. That's a given. If so, I'll be interested to see just what affect this will have on the market. It's hard to argue that it won't be a positive, but as some would say, there's a reason why the Fed would feel the need to lower rates...a slowing economy! I am not a prognosticator by any stretch, but just a chartist, and as such, it's hard to ignore what is beginning to look like a parabolic feature in the Nasdaq market. How will we know? Once rates are lowered (if and when), we look for either a continuation of the steepest uptrend channel and break of the July high, or down we go with a break of the uptrend channel to support levels.
