The ES broke hard, losing 18 on the day with price settling around the active static trend line. Price is now below the 50dma for the first time in 2012. Keep a close eye on the MACD which has now turned negative. A break below the zero line would get momentum rolling down in the intermediate time frame.
The NQ futures were lower by 31 on the day but they continue to maintain their relative strength vs. the ES. The NQ’s have broken decisively below the 10ema but its relative strength is keeping it above the 50dma. It’s really up to AAPL. The relative strength in AAPL has buoyed the overall NDX but the soldiers are falling. Tuesday PCLN posted a range high outside day down but AAPL did not. It’s really turning into an NBA index—nothing but Apple. If AAPL breaks, then the NDX is done.
