Trend Lines, Support, Resistance for 10/13
Trend lines drawn from 9/3 (28d), 9/24 bottom (14d), 10/7 (5d) and today 10/13 (1 day).
The Nasdaq took a breather from the previous days big gains. The index dropped back -0.1% with an inside day. The 30% red body shows some indecision throughout the day with a lean toward bearish in the 34% closing range. It would be better to have that closing range be at least 40% to show more bullish support. Lower volume on the index is good given the bearishness, but SPX had higher volume with a significantly bearish movement. Declining stocks outnumbered advancing stocks at a ratio of 3:2.
Continuing today's sideways move would land the index in nearly the same spot tomorrow and also join up with the longer trend from the the 9/23 bottom. Picking back up the 5 day trend would result in a +2.20% gain and a new all time high. There is likely to be more resistance as we approach that level. So I'd expect any gains to be contained within 1.5%, just under the previous all time high.
Given the indecisive Tuesday, a more severe pullback is also a possibility. Meeting back up with the trend from early September would result in a -3.67% loss where the index would find support from October trading ranges.
I'm keeping the June Support line in view, but its now almost 16% below the Tuesday close and there are 4 key support levels that it'd have to break thru. If we have a downside reversal that takes us below 11,300, then I'll add that possibility back to the chart.
