For 04/03/2000 Monday ( Main Trend: Mixed)$$

SP and NQ opened gap down. Glad we closed our eyes and took profit at SP 1539 area on last Friday. NQ support is at 4300-4280 area, SP support 1507. If it opens gap down, SP market should bounce  to fill the gap up and Dow should test this 10980 pivot. Dow 10980 will play a key role for the rest of the week. If it fails to go back and close above 10980, Monday could be a down day; otherwise buy side is not ruined yet.
