Noticed this too, around DOW 13,000 NQ was about 2599.50 where 900+ contracts were sitting and those people did really well today I'm sure.
CNBC is creating hysteria over a pattently insignificant value on the DOW like 13,000, sending it higher for no reason, and they are also doing this by saying "Can the NASDAQ hit 3,000?"
It's typically the sign of a top, and price action should have one more period of weakness if it goes lower then higher and depends on whether that move higher will be a lower high or another continuation of a breaching higher high.
