      • The 20-day EMA has been providing support over the past few weeks.
      • We dont see any heavy volume distribution during the consolidation.
      • The buy entry is over the downtrend line of the range.
      • The stop is placed beneath the two day low, minus some wiggle room.

      • Retail/apparel stocks are showing strength in '08, with URBN, CHIC, and GYMB consolidating in tight patterns.
      • Most commodity stocks broke down on heavy volume, crashing below their 50-day MA's.
