Nasdaq 100: 2161.38 Short-Term Trend: downtrend Outlook: While the outlook on the weekly chart is mixed at this stage (take a look at our Medium-Term Update), the daily chart is bearish. The prices are firmly below the 100-day and 200-day moving averages and these moving averages have already curled over the top and are expected to act as resistance levels for any rallies that can develop due to the current oversold conditions. So, I expect lower prices ahead. Near-Term, the market is attempting to rally but as long as it stays below its 2214 swing high and below the 2236 level, the bears are in cotrol. A decline below the 2035 wil confirm and will yield weaknesst wd 1962 level 1st... A week ago I recorded a video presentation about the most likely Medium-Term scenarios for the U.S. stock market.

CNBC Options Action's Dan Nathan talked on the show about a bearish options strategy in Research In Motion Limited (USA) (NASDAQ: RIMM). He thinks that it could drop below $40, because it has lost the war with competition. Specifically, Dan Nathan wants to buy the July 35 put for $0.20, and the July 45 put for $1.70. He also wants to sell two July 40 puts for a total of $1.20. This trade would cost him $0.70, and if RIMM trades at $45 or higher at the expiration, Dan Nathan would lose the $0.70 premium. If the stock trades between $40 and $45, he can make up to $4.30. If RIMM trades between $35 and $40 at the July expiration, the pay off would start to trail off, but he wouldn't lose money unless RIMM drops below $35.

On CNBC's Mad Money Lightning Round OT, Jim Cramer said that Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALXN) reminds him on Cephalon, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEPH), and Genzyme Corporation (NASDAQ: GENZ). It is the company that is doing a lot of good, and it is what this market wants. Cramer would stick with this stock. Cramer is a buyer of Evercore Partners Inc. (NYSE: EVR). He likes this stock as a M&A play. Evercore Partners Inc. (EVR) added 0.09%, and closed at $34.70. Cramer is not familiar with Oncolytics Biotech, Inc. (USA) (NASDAQ: ONCY), and he has to do some research, before he makes his call on this stock.

On CNBC's Options Action, Mike Khouw suggested that investors should consider a long position in Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC). He explained that Intel (INTC) struggled recently, but usually it bottoms around 9.5 times earnings. Intel (INTC) is currently trading at 9.6 earnings, and Mike Khouw thinks that it would be a good idea to have a long position in this stock. He thinks that it is better to use options to make that purchase. Specifically, Mike Khouw wants to buy the May 20 call for $0.40. The break even for this trade is at $20.40, and Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) closed today's session at $19.49 with a decline of 1.17%.
