Whew! I was worried my post was digressing even further. (g)

My point to be made is if we are standing by pure canslim buy/sell rules and
the short term (though possibly some large block trades) are trading on pure
technicals - will/does that effect the breakouts. I say yes. The bright side
is if  this new rally gains some steam with more industry groups breaking
out, the short term traders may keep their toes in the water a little longer
to allow these breakouts to move forward.
