To: Paul Shread who wrote (38385 ) 12/19/2000 10:52:16 AM From: Trading Machine Respond to of 42787 Paul, to get to NDX=3K first we have to break a Strong down trend line at ~2800. Given that we break that to the upside within the next week or so, the fib retracement (calculated from the high 09/01 and the low on 11/30) 38%=3083, 50%=3286, and 62%=3489. Lee says he sees a lot of them turn around at the 50% point, so 3200 and change. I do have to mention that I have a possibility that we will break to the down side before going up and I have that number at ~2350 within the next week or so and then up from there. If this week ends up being an up week I will consider this a real consolidation pattern i.e. a GZ wiggle pattern with alternating weeks being up and down, and then I could believe that we go up. It should be noted that the weekly pattern is very playable for the nimble fingered trader INMHO. I posted a week or so ago that when I look at all four indexes together, they move together insofar as Local highs and lows go. It appears that this event (a Local low) occurred on 11/30. If so, I believe that we move up from here albeit gradually. BTW the synergy between NDX, Compx, OEX and the S&P is very pronounced. That is to say if one index puts in an apparent low and the others do not, the probability of this being a true Local low is not good. If, on the other hand, all four put in an apparent low and start moving back up I will believe that we have a true Local low and the trend is changing. In my research over the last two years the coincidence for this occurring was exact for thirteen out of seventeen events and the others were within four days of being the same. CU Paul Kellam
