Cisco (CSCO) reports earnings after today's close. With that in mind, let's have a look at the comparative patterns (and my intermediate-term analytics) on some big-cap technology names.

Intel (INTC) is on a technical buy signal (since Jan 4) and will remain so unless it breaks 26.30 (1st warning), but must break 24.97 to damage the chart structure. My next upside target is 27.50/80 and then 28.50.

Cisco (CSCO) is on a technical buy signal (since Jan 4) and will remain so unless it breaks 19.61 (1st warning), but must break 19.25 to damage the chart structure. My next upside target is 21.05/25 and then 21.40/50.

Microsoft (MSFT) is on a buy signal (since Dec 28) and will remain so unless it breaks 29.70 (1st warning), but must break 28.80 to damage the chart structure. My next upside target is 30.60/80 and then 31.50/60.

Oracle (ORCL) is on a recent buy signal (since Feb 2) and will remain so unless it breaks 28.00. ORCL must hurdle 29.20/25 to accelerate towards my next optimal target zone of 30.40/50.
