The roller coaster continues. Today is an up day, tomorrow ??
The Merv's Daily Uranium Index closed higher by 5.57 points or 1.99%. There were 26 stocks on the up side, 18 on the down side and 6 on no side at all. Cameco gained 2.3%, Denison gained 3.1%, First Uranium gained 0.6%, Paladin gained 7.2% and Uranium One gained 5.9%.

On the intermediate term we are just a hair shy from the Index closing above its moving average line. The moving average continues to slope downward but less and less so. The momentum indicator remains in its negative zone but above its positive trigger line. The rating remains BEARISH for another day.
On the short term the Index continues above its positive moving average line. The momentum indicator continues just above its neutral line but below its positive sloping trigger line. The short term remains BULLISH .
