Nasdaq100 (NQ) Dead Cat Bounce Off Oct Low Tiring

Nasdaq100 (NQ) is exhausting on its Dead Cat Bounce (off the October low) as seen by Tuesday’s sharp reversal after posting a fresh December high.  NQ is suddenly at a new December low, and just a week or so’s volatility from retesting the 2022 low.  NQ does not appear likely to reach the 61.8% Fib or the weekly chart downtrend/descending wedge resistance before the Xmas lull sets in.  Watch for volatility today 945am EST with the US’ Flash services PMI.  The escalation in the Ukraine-Russia conflict deserves close monitoring.  Congratulations to paying subscribers who benefited from the Oct 18, 2022 analysis highlighting the early stages of a month plus Dead Cat Bounce, the Jan 18, 2022 warning of the NQ keeling over on a monthly chart, the alert February 18th, 2020 one day before the record high in the S&P500, warning of a pending slide in the Nasdaq100 and from the March 24th, 2020 report highlighting the looming multi­day to multi­week rebound in NQ.  The weekly RSI and Stochastics are tiring, weighing on the still upsloping weekliy MACD.  I am looking to enter short in the red zone (of the daily chart), targeting the green zone for Thursday.  The amber/yellow zone is where I might place a stop if I was a swing trader (although in my personal account with which I seldom hold overnight I sometimes set my stops tighter).  Click here for analysis on VIX, NATURAL GAS
