Today's Comments: The overall market moved ever so slightly higher yesterday in a relatively broad based move that saw a majority of the sector indices I track move higher on the day. In reviewing the charts from yesterday's trading activity one of the things I noticed was that trading volume was lighter than normal. This is normally a sign of a lack of follow through, and generally considered to be an indication that the rally might not hold. Time will tell.

Our Analysis: The shares of Metavante Technologies, Inc. 'MV' set a new all time closing high yesterday on heavier than normal trading volume. In the process they completed a "cup and handle" pattern. This is a very bullish trading pattern. The shares of 'MV' should continue to move higher and test $29.30/share, the price target set by the handle portion of the pattern. If the shares of 'MV' close above that level, then they should continue to move higher and test $40.59/share, our upper target established by the larger "cup" portion of the pattern. I see downside support on the shares of 'MV' @ $26.29/share, and have set my stops accordingly @ $25.87/share
