The Dow Jones 30 initially was volatile during the trading session on Wednesday but found the 23,500 level to be supportive enough to turn the market around and break out. I think the market is probably going to go looking towards the highs again, meaning that we should go looking towards the 23,600 level. I think pullbacks should continue to find support at the 23,500-level underneath, and that’s likely to be a bit of a “floor” for the short-term traders. I think that given enough time, the market should continue to attract money as pullbacks represent value in what is an obvious uptrend longer term. I believe that we will be looking at 25,000 sometime next year, but obviously, it’s going to take a lot of work to get there.
The NASDAQ 100 has broken out to a fresh, new high, breaking above the 6300 level. The NASDAQ 100 should continue to be very bullish, it’s likely that the buyers will be willing to pick up dips as value. I think the 6300 level at this point is the “floor” of the market, and that it’s only a matter of time before we go much higher. Longer-term, I believe that the 6500 level above is the target, but I also recognize that there will be quite a bit of volatility. The NASDAQ 100, of course, is volatile by its very nature, as it is technology driven. However, we are in a nice uptrend and it looks as if the 24-hour exponential moving average is going to continue to offer support, and I am a buyer going forward on these small dips that will occur. Currently, I have no interest in shorting at all.
