First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge ETF (NASDAQ:QCLN) is attempting to breakout above prior highs on the monthly chart. The volume was quite impressive during the rally in 2013, so the price action should eventually follow through to the upside:
Dropping down to the shorter-term daily chart, wee see that $QCLN is back above the 50-day MA and is testing the highs of the current range. Ideally, we would like to see the price action back off the highs and chop around for a week or two above the 20-day exponential moving average (form a tight handle).

The stock market remains vulnerable to more short-term selling, especially if the 10-day moving averages on the daily charts of the main averages fail to provide support. But overall, market conditions remain strong and our timing model is still in buy mode.
