And in subsequent analysis, the seven survivors of the early rounds among Monday's breaks beyond the 20-day price channel proved lacking. (See "Tuesday's Prospects" for a report on Monday's trading.)
Three failed to show follow through, moving back within their 20-day price channels on Tuesday and therefore not confirming the bull signals: MMP, AMBA, and URI.
Four have charts that are insufficiently bullish to justify a trade: MU, FFIV, CGNX and EMC. By "insufficiently bullish", I mean that they've been on the rise recently but have failed to score a breakout beyond their recent high. Without the breakout, I consider the charts to be bearish.
The bottom line is that there were no survivors of the later rounds of analysis. I won't be doing further analysis or trading based on Monday's markets.
