March E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index futures are inching higher on Thursday as investors continue to digest the impact of the Brexit decision.

At 11:51 GMT, March E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index futures are 7269.25, up 1.50 or +0.02%.

Bullish Scenario

Taking out 7317.00 will indicate the buying is getting stronger. If this move generates enough upside momentum then look for the rally to extend into 7403.25. This is a potential trigger point for an acceleration to the upside with the next Gann angle target coming in at 7541.00.

Bearish Scenario

A failure to overtake 7317.00 will signal the presence of sellers. The first downside target is an uptrending Gann angle at 7195.00. Since the main trend is up, look for buyers to come in on the first test of this Gann angle. This is a potential trigger point for an acceleration to the downside with the next target angle coming in at 7067.00.
