———————————————————————
The June NASDAQ 100 was lower overnight due to profit taking as it consolidates some of this week’s rally. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If June extends the rally off March’s low, the 38% retracement level of the 2008-2009 decline crossing at 1441.17 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 1358.32 are needed to confirm that a short-term top has been posted.
First resistance is Tuesday’s high crossing at 1428.25. Second resistance is the 38% retracement level crossing at 1441.17. First support is the 10-day moving average crossing at 1389.00. Second support is the 20-day moving average crossing at 1358.32.
The June NASDAQ 100 was down 7.50 pts. at 1419.75 as of 5:35 AM CST. Overnight action sets the stage for a lower opening by June NASDAQ 100 when the day session begins later this morning.
