Daily Market Commentary: Failed Challenge on Resistance
The Nasdaq breakout is under pressure after today's loss. It hasn't lost its breakout, but should it do so it will leave a 'bull trap' and offer a shorting opportunity. A close below 4,231 confirms a 'bull trap'.
The Russell 2000 closed with a bearish reversal after touching what was neckline resistance. It remains the best shorting opportunity of the indices. Stops go on a close above 1,165.
The next few days will be interesting. Sellers will attempt to push their advantage, which may give shorts one or two days to work their magic: look to MAs (50-day or 20-day MA) to take partial profits and let the rest ride.
