NQ looks like it tried to make a uptrend but it failed and now it has fell unders its longer term down trend line. Failed W formation seems to be a popular formation these days.............You can see that NDX broke its Jan low a few days ago so the commercials are pairing down their long bets in response to this............. VXN ramping up and RSI is not oversold yet.

The January low was tested on about 40% LESS VOLUME. Watch out for this little quality of volume UP move here. At best all I get is neutral, not necessarily that weak. Of course, trend is King. Need to see a sign of strength or weakness to get this thing off the dime...

I like it fine, new uptrends reset from 40-45 rsi level. It tested the channel centerline last week, it has to do that one time before it moves out of a down channel. And bullish divergence in -DI. It's ok.

As XD said in another post.. you can look at the components of NDX for a clue to where it might be headed.. For instance, SMH and SOXX appear to be showing relative strength vs NDX. SMH took a deep drop, however, so its not surprising. And I have statistical studies that go back like 10 years that are centric on NDX and its behavior during times like this... even during the great melt down of 2000 to 2003, this picked some fine winners.

I see your generally bullish, would you mind listing what NDX stocks your system likes,
I would like to compare to my system.

The newsletter guys that Hulbert follows are heavily short the Nasdaq. Something like 60% short. That's getting up there. They are usually wrong when they get leaning. A lot of those stocks look pretty cheap, too. The multiswing action makes for a good base, IF they can turn them up. The volume will be key, as Semi says. M
