NASDAQ 100 FUT. – (@NQ) – Daily

Curr: Cash Looking to: Short @ 9,930

As of 6/19/20 close: 9,927.75

LAST WEEK: We suggested shorting at 9,825.75 with stops on a close above 9,915 and with a target for covering at 9,145.

UPDATE: NASDAQ 100 futures made it up through what we thought would have been good resistance at 9,826 – 9,915 – but failed to make new highs before pulling back. The level to watch here is 9,813.10 on a daily close. Below that on a close and we’ll see more of a pullback to one of four possible supports: 9,378.80; 8,918.20; 8,545.90; or, 8,173.60. Those are all Fibonacci retracement lines from the March low to last week’s highs. If we get the close below 9,813.10, look to short bounces to 9,930 and cover at 9,378.80.
