The best determinant of future anything, including prices is HISTORY. We have no history available for the breakouts. There's a roadmap available on Nasdaq. And it's clear as a bell. Especially when you understand how to use the PRIMARY INDICATORS of PRICE and VOLUME. I see a lot of trust given to fancy indicators. Then everyone b*tch about it when they go haywire, especially on this light volume. Nassim Taleb - he once said in a radio interview that the education system is engaging in malpractice by teaching students programming and algorithms for stock trading - that the best education is knowing your history. I have to agree.

Way back when I was in the Brokerage industry I would on occasion say to clients and prospects:
Tell me whether you're bullish or bearish, give me a couple of hours, and I'll get back to you with exactly why you are right!

And there was no internet then, no Google searches. Just the ticker clicking in the front of the office which always contained news for everyone.
