Nasdaq and S&P 500 Approaching Potential Resistance Zone and Further Market Breadth Improvements
The full post is available to view by members only. For immediate access:
The Nasdaq Composite is approaching a significant level of interest that has acted as both support and resistance five times or so in the past year. Hence, it is a key level to overcome in order for the short term Change of Behaviour that we've seen to turn into a more significant Change of Character – which would be more bullish. As although the initial Stage 4 breakdown attempt failed and the rebound has been strong, relative strength in the Nasdaq remains weak versus the S&P 500 and it's moving into a logical area for shorts to initiate a test of the recent price action.
So while there are many short term positives developing in stocks and the market breadth, plus are a few longer term positives (see the Bullish Percent Index status changes further down the article). Caution still seems prudent, as after all, the Nasdaq remains in Stage 3. So it's far from a friendly trading environment.
However, if it can overcome the resistance, then that would be another postive towards the overall weight of evidence.
