The tech bellwether pushed NASDAQ-100 higher but this upward momentum needs further support from IBM. Its shares rose $3.30, or 2.8 percent, after hours.
Probably, IBM represents a very special case. It gets about half its money through contracts with recurring, annuity-like revenue streams. That makes IBM less vulnerable to downward cycles than other tech companies.

Intel (INTC) should power up tech shares today. Intel's sales forecast will provide some relief from economic data pointing to flagging consumer demand. The NASDAQ market is expected to bottom out in coming days. The preceding day candlestick pattern (hammer) was very bullish. Nevertheless, a lot depends on IBM earnings scheduled for today.

Join the ORCL's "Overreaction Play"
It looks like large traders just wanted to push the price lower. They convinced small investors to sell the stock, thus giving large traders get a chance to grab it at lower prices. The stock price should eventually get back on track. This crude trick will deliver lofty profits to large traders and to anyone who decides to join this play. It happens very rarely.
The most suitable trading vehicle would be a debit May 17/20 call spread. You pay $2.50 and get over a 75% chance of receiving a 20% gain in 5 weeks.
