Major US Indices Forecast, July 18, 2017, Technical Analysis

S&P 500

The S&P 500 had a very quiet session on Monday as traders are awaiting significant earnings reports coming out of the United States. However, we have broken above significant resistance, so I think it’s only a matter of time before we continue to the upside. The market will then target the 2500 level which I believe is massively resistive, but has been a longer-term target of mine for some time.

The NASDAQ 100 and very little during the session as well, but seems to be running out of steam. I think a pullback is probably coming, perhaps reaching down to the 5800 level. That’s an area that should be supportive as it was previous resistance, and I believe that the markets will be looking to pick up value and what has been one of the leaders in the United States. Ultimately, I believe that the NASDAQ 100 will find plenty of support, so any shorting opportunities that I see, I’m ignoring and waiting for the value to come back into play so I can pick up the NASDAQ 100 “on the cheap”… Read More
