The key going into the New Year…
As I have been pointing out in
previous articles, the downside Nasdaq 100
eminis (aka noodles) target at 1658 has finally been hit on the daily inverse
pup breakdowns as the Nasdaq tests that 2200 level. The daily 50-period moving
average resistance now sits at 1677 levels. This should be the extent of any
bounces and good spots to short into. We are breaking down going into January
2006. The tough part of this market will be getting the time frames squared
away. The dailies can down a downtrend but you need the participation of the
8/13/60 minute charts to get the full impact of the downside moves. Converging
time frames are the key here going into the new year.
Look for bounce attempts off the weekly 15 period ma support on the QQQQs at
40.20 which is around 1650 on the noodles. Look to short into the the daily
50-period moving averages near 1677 for an eventual test of the monthly 5-period
moving averages at 39.80 and 1633 levels.
Good trading gang and Happy New Year, looking forward to some real volume in
January and peak earnings season.
