will the 3 day rally continue to 4? -not likely

I looked at how the market did today and I noticed that the PSEi inched up nine points. Looking at the chart of the day, I saw a flat line. It looked like a very lifeless trading day. Surprisingly though, the value of the trades was very near the Five Billion Peso mark.

Last week, we saw a three day rally that was stronger than what we saw through the beginning of this week. I'm guessing that the Psei is sputtering at this point and will tumble towards the end of the week closer to the support at around 2900. I hope I'm wrong about this but my gut feel is that this tiny rally is over.
