Coming into earning season a slow down is to be expected. The question is whether the weekly chart will win or the daily.
If the daily I have a DOW target of 9291 - the lower bollinger. But if the weekly chart wins and I suspect it will seeing as the daily has crossed into the lower half of the bollinber bands we are looking at say 9000-9100 which would still keep the weekly chart bullish and would take some excess heat out.
All healthy but annoying, although i have started trading announcements rather than price and volume breakouts this day and age so perhaps this won't bother me.
