A bullish case for the Nasdaq 100The weekly timeframe has been slowly developing a bullish structure. The retracement from the all-time high stalled at a 61.8% Fibonacci ratio (from the pandemic low), and prices have since rallied to trade above the previous cycle high. OBV (on balance volume) is also confirming price action high. A recent pullback from the March high has stabilised above the 200-week MA and a small bullish candle formed last week.
The daily chart shows an ABC correction which was completed with a bullish engulfing candle. Prices rose above the 20, 50, 100 and 200-EMA's and now pulled back to gap support. Given the Nasdaq has only fallen -0.6% this week despite the negative sentiment from potential Fed Hikes, it is holding up pretty well. SO if sentiment improves, the Nasdaq may go on to outperform its Wall Street peers.
- The remains bullish above the 11,830 low and for a retest of the 12,880 highs
- If prices can hold above gap support, bulls could consider tighter risk management
