Major US Indices Forecast, October 26, 2017, Technical Analysis

S&P 500

The S&P 500 initially went sideways, but as the Americans came on board, sold off rather drastically. We reached down towards the 2550 level will we started to see a bit of support, and this is the initial place where I think the buyers may be interested in picking up a bit of value. Even if we break down below here, I think that we will eventually find support at the lower levels, perhaps extend down to the 2500 level.

NASDAQ 100

The NASDAQ 100, of course, fell as well, slicing through the 6050 handle. This is a significant development, and what this tells me is that we may have a little bit of follow-through to the downside. However, I have absolutely no interest in trying to short this market, as I recognize the 6000-level underneath being massively supportive as it was massively resistive. Looking for some type of stability or supportive candle is what I am doing now, and I think I will get it over the next couple of days. Let the panic subside, and then pick up the cheap NASDAQ 100 is how I look at this market… Read More
