Mini break for NASDAQ 100 - for now The NASDAQ 100 took a mini break from chasing new record highs and is now trading within a narrow range. Technical chart (daily) for the NASDAQ 100 Technical chart (daily) created at tradingview.com The technical chart with the simple Envelopes reveals that the index is no longer considered as overheated and the RSI confirms this. The distance to the SMA 20 remains high but declined a little bit. One earlier high at 15447 serves as a level of confidence while one level above, at 15526, proved itself as a level of support, setting the lower limit for the current trading range.   As long as the index remains above 15 447 on the daily chart, there is nothing to worry about.   Technical chart (hourly) for the NASDAQ 100   Technical chart (hourly) created at tradingview.com   Talking of trading range - the hourly chart of the NASDAQ 100 with modified Evenlope settings gives a nice impression of the current range where a mini break and mini consolidation a

NASDAQ 100 following a strong trendline I've been covering the NASDAQ 100 multiple times during the last days as you've seen. The reason for this is that this leading tech index shows an incredible strength despite the Tapering discussions and the various risks which emerged during the last weeks. Together with you, I want to understand where the chances and risks are for this index. NASDAQ 100 Chart Source: tradingview.com The image above shows a simple NASDAQ 100 chart with the leading trendlines. As you can see, there is a corridor limited by a supporting trendline and a line which might be a resistance line. The index has touched this upper line multiple times and has been trading just beneath it for four days in a row. I believe that this trendline is of great importance and chances are high that the NASDAQ 100 will not cross it soon (just my personal opinion). At the moment, this trendline also crosses the upper border of the Envelopes, so there is even another resistance

NASDAQ 100 - How the new week could start The NASDAQ 100 has delivered. I don't know if we are going to see a new record high every week until the Tapering begins, but the strength of this index is remarkable. While we can not make any predictions for the next months, we still can look how the chances are for the NASDAQ 100 on Monday. NASDAQ 100 Market Breadth Data The NASDAQ 100 market breadth is provided by https://www.advance-decline.net The image above shows the market breadth for the index NASDAQ 100. What you can't see is that the NASDAQ 100 is moving along a rising trend line, starting on 16.02. and touching it on 26.07., 24.08., 25.08 and on last Friday (27.08.). It looks like that the NASDAQ 100 has troubles crossing this trend line, and often the index touches the upper Envelope band, which is usually a sign of overheating. So there are already two limiting factors, and it might take a very strong impulse for the price to overcome those limits. It is more likely that

NASDAQ 100 Market Breadth - Where will the leading tech index go? Yesterday I already covered the Nasdaq 100 index and its market breadth data. Today I want to check what changed and if I was right about today's development: Advanced vs. Declined reached a positive extreme today, so there is a high chance that the index will have only small or no advances during the next trading day at all.  This turned out to be true. The Nasdaq 100 gained 0,29% today, which is good, but it's not a big jump. Advanced vs. Declined Data was in good balance today, so for tomorrow, there would be much room on the positive and the negative extreme. Technical analysts might look at the chart and see three things: There was a light bearish divergence with the RSI during the last weeks (but it's resolved now) The NASDAQ 100 is near a topping trend line which was touched end of July for the last time The NASDAQ 100 reached the upper side of a statistic corridor, meaning it is highly unlikly that

  Fed minutes causing drops in major US indices Today's published Fed minutes indicate that there are thoughts about ending the money flood this year instead of next year or the year after. This led to a small sell off. Now, market breadth data - including today's trading day - is interesting. All three major US indices that are listed below - the S&p 500, the Dow Jones and the NASDAQ 100 - reached extreme values for their Advanced vs. Declined data. Usually, if such an extreme is reached, there is at least a small reaction in the opposite direction.
