you have been a busy indian. the 1446-1452 area is a sweet spot for a short entry imo as posted this am. nice that it lines up with EW. i dont know if it can get that far. my guess is probably not on a closing basis and maybe not even intraday. but i will be looking/hoping for a manic monday rally to get shorts

The 1446 level on the NDX has held. Actual print HIGH 1445.82.

All the markets “GAP Opened” higher today, with the NDX marching directly to the 1446 level before finding the resistance I discussed on Saturday. The actual inter-day HIGH was 1445.82.

There is a very clear channel developing from the January 20th HIGH in the NDX which suggests that the correction conducted over that last four (4) trading days is Higher Degree Wave 4. In Saturday’s Update this was identified as “NDX Alternate Wave Count II”. The corrective wave structure of the Wave 4 looks a bit impulsive (possible Wave-a of lesser degree) and a bit short on time. So we could get a decline tomorrow to the 1398 level tomorrow, followed by a retest of 1446 later in the week.

However today is the forty-eight (48) trading day since the HIGH made on January 20th in the NDX. So the “probability” is HIGH that the NDX continues its decline directly from this 1446 and lasts seven (7) trading days; for a total of fifty-five (55) FIB trading days from the HIGH made on January 20th. Interestingly, that would put the LOW for this first Impluse Wave (identified as Wave 1 in the NDX) to arrive on or about April 7th; which is the Wednesday before the week of Option Expiration, the favorite inflection point created by the “boys”.

If this is the correct interpretation of the wave count in the NDX, the LOW on or about April 7th in the NDX will be around 1346. Note also that 1346 is also the bottom of the Larger Channel that has contained this entire rally, in the NDX, since the LOW in October of 2002. So hitting the bottom of this very important channel, as the wave structure completes five waves, should set the stage for a significant rally that corrects the entire decline from the January 20th high in the NDX.

I am keeping my STOP LOSS in the NDX at 1461. A violation of 1461, to the upside, on the NDX would force a Fund Exchange from the current RYVNX position (since 1/08/04) to RYVYX

The NDX exceeded the 1461 level at today’s open; which was my STOP LOSS for the RYVNX position held since January 8th, 2004. However, based on the DJIA and SPX there is a possibility that the rally of the last eight (8) FIB trading days is Wave 2 of the next Higher Degree. This same wave structure in the NDX is less clear. The “daily” Slow Stochastic is over-done and appears to be crossing over to the downside.

So with all that said, I am NOT yet comfortable to move directly from my current RYVNX (short fund) into the RYVYX (long fund). Need more data. However, I am moving from RYVNX into CASH at the close today. FWIW.
