The &#8220;sell the news&#8221; move in Goldman (GS) today and likely Intel (INTC) tomorrow is telling.&nbsp; One day of higher volume selling won&#8217;t derail this rally and bulls remain in control for now, but as I mentioned in my report to members last night, the long side is increasingly becoming a dangerous place to play.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at the daily chart of the Nasdaq with 3 things standing out to me &#8211; the test of resistance at the Jan highs, the sharp V shaped bear market rally off the March lows and the overbought conditions as revealed by stochastics.&nbsp;

I&#8217;ll be keeping an eye on the hourly chart for confirmation that the rally is done.&nbsp; The white line is support of the upward trend line off the March low which coincides with the 50 dma, making the area around 32 &#8211; 32.20 a strong level of support.&nbsp; Take that level out with big sell volume and this rally is most certainly finished.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/selfinvestors.com\/tradingstocks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/41409-qqqq-hourly.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-right: 0px;
