Despite the recent bounce in the price of NQ1! we remain bearish; indeed, we think the current price is attractive for the (re)entry of a short position. That is mainly due to the fact that fundamental factors which weigh on the U.S. economy did not change. Therefore, we still maintain our price target of 11 000 USD for the Nasdaq index.
Illustration 1.01 The Nasdaq's retracement toward the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) indicates that the index is undergoing a strong correction. However, the price drop below the upper bound of the channel adds to the bearish odds; additionally, it invalidates the bullish breakout that took place recently.
Technical analysis - daily time frame RSI is showing weakness; currently, it reverses to the downside, which is bearish. MACD is bullish. Stochastic is flattening. DM+ and DM- are neutral. The ADX is very low. Overall, the daily time frame is neutral.
Illustration 1.02 The picture above shows simple support and resistance levels for the Nasdaq 100 index.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame RSI, Stochastic, MACD, DM+, DM- are all bearish. Overall, the weekly time frame remains bearish.

We remain beairsh in the medium/long-term; however, in the short-term we think the general stock market might be positioning itself for the significant bear market rally.

Follow-up: We would be looking for a move between 5-10%. Although, we are very cautious. The market may fail to move higher as the FED meeting is not far away. It is even possible that the market will just stay choppy until then. Additionally, if the FED proceeds with 75bps rate hike, then it will greatly diminish chance of the move up in the short-term. However, after such a long period with the market going lower, it is just a matter of time when we will see a strong bear market rally.
@tintin85, I would be looking for a move between 5-10%. Particularly, I would pay attention to this resistance, which is approximately 6.55% higher from the current price (if the bounce occurs): But then, the market may fail to move higher. It is even possible it will just stay choppy as we approach the FED meeting (that is the most probable scenario, in my opinion). However, after such a long period with the market going lower, it is just a matter of time when we will see a strong bear market rally; I think it will confuse many people into believing the market hit a bottom.
