NASDAQ 100 Technical Analysis
The NASDAQ 100 dropped a little bit lower during the trading session here on Thursday. To me, what I think we’re watching very closely is the 23,800 level. This is an area that I think has been important multiple times as support and if we can hold that, maybe a bounce is a short-term buying opportunity.
If we break down below there, the 23,000 level is an area that I think could be a target for short sellers. The 200-day EMA sits just above the 24,200 level, so if we could break above there, then I think we will go higher.
Dow Jones 30 Technical Analysis
The Dow Jones 30 has fallen a bit during the early part of the session as well and we are also below the 200-day EMA here. All things being equal, this is a market that I think probably moves right along with interest rates.
As interest rates in America remain very stubbornly high, I think that puts downward pressure here as well as all other indices. Watch that 45,750 level; it needs to hold.
S&P 500 Technical Analysis
The S&P 500 is driving its way back to the 6,500 level, an area that has been important for some time and I do think that is an area that could attract a certain amount of buying pressure. We’ll just have to wait and see.
Really, I think the only story right now is going to be if and when the war ends. It’s obviously very detrimental to the markets. It hasn’t been disastrous though, which is a bit wild to think about, but it’s been more of a slow brutal grind lower and there’s really nothing here that doesn’t tell me that we are going to see the same thing.

See all Dow Jones forecastsI just think that’s the pattern we’re stuck in. Whether or not we break down significant remains to be seen, but I think markets need to hold these floors and then bounce a bit to even open up the possibility of a short-term buying opportunity.
