why can't it easily go either direction from here?

http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$NDX...id=p27874013387

in my opinion, the fact the 200-period sma on the 60-minute held today when tested may not mean anything.

NDX and the 68wk ema -

QQQQ:

46.64 is the 8wk ema
46.72 is the 34wk ema
46.46 is the 68wk ema

all of these reside above QQQQ price

QQQQ daily -

"in my opinion, the fact the 200-period sma on the 60-minute held today when tested may not mean anything" I agree. You have to worry about an overnight jumping of the creek. I expect it will (usdjpy).

Was looking at candle counts on the COMP vs NDX vs QQQQ and we have quite a divergence in candle trends. NDX presents a bullish picture, but when I looked under the hood, the COMP and QQQQ are still in confirmed downtrends...

Looking a little closer into the 4 Horsemen components... only AAPL is in a new uptrend. I think it pretty much boils down to whatever AAPL does will tell us the direction ahead.

To me this looks like it has all the characteristics of a fake-out move. If I am correct then we'll see the failure start with AAPL and spread....

The move off the high volume low (7/22) on AAPL is completely bogus IMO, and we'll see that 146 area tested again real soon...

But maybe not this week on light volume month end markup...

I think just about every chart is sreaming that NDX will be slaughtered. Take a look at weekly/monthly charts on GOOG, RIMM, AAPL, BIDU, ISRG, NDX itself and many others. They are screaming "Sell me !" There is very little doubt about the next move direction. Just the timing. a few days sooner or later. And the funnymental backup is there. There is mass delusion that somehow global slowdown won't affect the earnings of these overbloated high P/E stocks. Plenty of room for dissapointment.
