NASDAQ 100 FUTURES – (@NQ – June) - Daily

Currently: Cash Looking to: Short @ 7,660

As of 5/19/2019 at 8:26pm EST: 7,544

LAST WEEK: We suggested covering shorts at 7,300 and getting long at 7,276 with stops below 7,017 and with a target of 7,850.

UPDATE: NQ futures rallied after testing 7,300 projected support and have thus far shown that the bulls still have the edge in things. Bears have a little hope if 7,660 is not broken on the upside on a daily close. If that resistance holds, look for a drop to 7,018 – 7,111. If it is broken, look for a rally to new highs. We would be willing to try shorts near 7,660 with stops on a close above that and with a target of 7,111.
