NASDAQ weekly chart, December 19, 2016

The Nasdaq 100 went back and forth over the course of the last week, as we continue to bang around the 4900 level. This is a very exhausted looking market at the moment, but quite frankly I think the only direction we can go over the longer term is going to be higher. If we can find support at the 4800 level below, that might be a buying opportunity. A break above the top of the range during the previous week would also be reason enough to go long but I do think that there’s going to be an issue and 5000 as it has quite a bit of psychological importance.
