NDX100: Absolutely 'flat' Close on lowest Volume YTD

NDX100 Daily Chart: Close @ 03/12/2012

What with the McClellan (@-8) back below the Zero line and Apple closing @ a record high ($552), but no 'cigar' for the NDX100?

The VIX finally 'prints' below 16% @ 15.64 and perhaps the 'trap' has been set?
