Hello, this is Vivid. Here’s today’s analysis of the Nasdaq.
Looking at the daily chart of the Nasdaq, it is currently supported by the 20-period and 60-period moving averages. The resistance at the high point of the blue box on the left side of the chart, at 20251.50, appears to be relatively strong. This area was a turning point, and I expect a retest of the high or a breakout, but just because the market trend is upward doesn't necessarily mean it will break through; it could also face resistance. If a breakout occurs, depending on the nature of the movement, there is a high possibility of further upward movement, with the next major resistance at 20410. In this case, we need to observe the candles within the green box, as a large bearish candle had its upper wick reach 20410, indicating it may not easily break through.
For a short-term trading strategy from a buying perspective on the 15-minute chart, if a breakout occurs, the breakthrough of the trendline is important. The current area of focus is the breakout of the red resistance line, marked with a blue box, with a short-term target set at the day's high of 20164. Additional entries would be made if today's high breaks upward. If 20164 is surpassed, the next target, confirmed by the previous week's high, would be around 20201, and if that breaks as well, it could potentially reach up to 20410.
This is the selling strategy for the day based on the 15-minute chart. Currently, we see a breakout from the upward trendline, which began on September 11. The Asian session today also showed a retest of this upward trend, and the subsequent decline established today’s low. Today’s low is 19955.25, and the entry for selling would be triggered simultaneously when we break below 19955.25 and the upward trendline. The target prices are set at 19860 and 19574, based on the lower end of the volume profile.
Please note that the S&P Global US Manufacturing PMI will be announced 15 minutes after the market opens, so keep that in mind while trading.
