 NASDAQ 100 Index – Daily
Near Term Trend: Positive
Friday’s Close: 2,981.02 (+ 20.10)
UPDATE: It was only three weeks ago, believe it or not, the NDX was trading 2,780.46, we stated, “A close above 2,812 at least would serve to stabilize price action”.
Two days later the market settled above 2,812.00, and to date has not looked back.
NDX continues to be considerably overbought- not that has mattered.
2,905 is key support, and 2,920 is near term support (bottom of price gap, from six trading sessions ago).
