I don't think so. I suspect we started a short term ( based on hourly chart stochastics ) oversold bounce today.
I'm watching to see if it rises to test the 15 HR. MA ( @ 2085 & falling ) or 25 HR. MA.( @ 2105 & falling ) as resistance. Since hourly chart stochastics are at 60 already it seems reasonable that the cycle will be getting toppy as the 15 HR is aproached. Then I suspect it will probably run into trouble and head back down to test the 15 Week MA as support @ about 2000 & rising.
Looks like this could be a deep distribution phase.
But thats JMHO

Another thing worth watching is the bottom of the double top pattern at 2108 ( hourly chart ). NASDAQ may try to test that as resistance at some point.

I see the resistance at about the 2100 point for the NAS...what would you consider "passing resistance" to be comfortable saying that the NAS is headed back to about the 3000 mark?
thanks,

NASDAQ is forming a base now looks like maybe a wedge pattern is forming on intraday charts.
Its managed to break the 15 HR.MA this last hour.
Trendline resistance is at 2074 & falling. This is the one that is most important to me, short term.
Semis (SOX ) and Gold Stocks ( XAU & HUI ) pulled the index up today.
Gold stocks are very oversold on Weekly chart so this was expected soon.
Semis though are still overbought on weekly chart but are trying to hold support at the 15 WK. MA @ 512. This is usually very bearish for an index to be testing support while just starting a distribution phase.
Defence stocks ( DFI) are in accumulation on Weekly chart but is in distribution on Daily chart. When this daily chart cycle has bottomed I would be looking for some gains in that sector ( within a few days ).
Most of the indexes are overbought on Weekly charts and have just started distribution. A flurry of excellent earnings could mitigate the distribution phase. Other than that it looks like they are headed lower over the next several weeks.
So far I've charted GIN, GSO, IXCO, IXF, RLX, SOX, TRAN, XAL all -xover on Weekly.
What we need to see, IMO, before the NASDAQ is ready to take on 3000, is the weekly chart stochastics to be oversold and +xover while testing support on most all the indexes at ( at least ) their 15 Week MAs.
If you look back at historical charts you will see that this is the scenario that existed before each of the big moves we have seen since Oct. 2002.
If you look at the bull market of the 1990s you'll see that before each big move higher the Weekly chart stochastics became oversold while NASDAQ dropped to test the 50 Week MA. Smaller moves higher it tested the 25 Week MA. as support first.
It appears there is a correlation there.
I suspect that the weak hands will need to be purged before a major move can occur.
I suspect we will see a bounce soon but it will not be the next move higher. It will be more of a move to test and confirm resistance.

NAVR looking very good, IMO. Testing TL Support while oversold on Daily chart. It has formed a wedge pattern on the 30 min. chart with TL Resistance at $6.19 & falling.
EMA is shaping up but I suspect not quite ready. Maybe with a few more hours on the 30 min. chart.

NASDAQ just hit up against TL Resistance @ 2074 and bounced down, confirming it as resistance for now.
What is quite short term bearish about this is that the hourly chart Stochastics were not overbought at the time. JMHO

I agree with jthehut about liquidity. Some days only 2K shares traded. Technically, IMO, the stock is forming a bearish wedge pattern on intraday charts. ( Bearish because it is at the bottom of a downtrend ).
It is testing the 200 DMA as well as a 10 Month Supporting TL.
It tried to gap up this morning above the short term TL Resistance of the wedge but has sold off to test the old resistance as support. Problem is that the top of a wedge is angled down and this does not serve well as usable support.
I don't really like this set up also because it is already a bit overbought on Hourly charts and the odds don't seem to be that favorable for a good move higher. I would have to wait and see how this developes a bit but, IMO, there are more compelling positions out there.
This one has dropped hard on big volume on bad earnings, another bearish indication. JMHO

In NAVR @ $6.16.
Didn't get the entry at $6.10 so this will have to do.
NASDAQ broke TL res. and now is testing intraday high as resistance @ 2077.
Since it hit this high while oversold the odds are good for a break higher. JMHO
