Bear Markets are Tough, If in Doubt Zoom Out!

Short
NASDAQ:NDX   Nasdaq 100 Index
Looks like there is a little more upside after todays bullish close. Then the inevitable will happen... Eventually lol! This market is very frustrating at times but when I'm in doubt, I remind myself to zoom out! Looks like we have been trading in this falling wedge since right after the end of March relief rally when we tried to reclaim the 200 SMA. My thesis is that we have not traded narrowly enough in this wedge for a real break out to occur. We had a very similar bear market rally starting at my 1st finger I have charted, 24th of May. During that rally we pushed up about 12% or 1400 points, 12% up from last Thursdays low would get us up to the top of my second lower high circled. I am waiting for a rejection around this last move up to the 13,700 range I have circled before I open up a bigger short position on QQQ, by then we should be overbought and trading around 300-310 range. If this plays out I will take profit at the bottom of this wedge and keep some protective puts in my back pocket as I attempt to catch a falling knife cost averaging in to potentially catch a BIG rally into the GOOGLE split!

Feel free to give me your feedback, I am very new at charting and appreciate constructive criticism. Good luck and safe trading to you all!
