Technicals:
The Nasdaq’s two-day rally has brought it right back to extremely overbought conditions, as marked in red on the following chart…
However, the former resistance level, marked in yellow, has clearly demonstrated its ability to now act as support.
The overbought conditions are notable because the current rally is unsustainable. But the strong reaction to the support shows us the buyers are firmly in control of the market.
The daily read…
- The VIX finished the day below 18, very bullish
- RSI levels are mostly neutral, the expectation is noted above
