Nasdaq: Lower Low and Lower HighsNASDAQ 100 IndexNASDAQ_DLY:NDXTradeStationThe Nasdaq-100 has limped for months, and some traders may see more difficulties ahead. The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower highs since early June. Combined with July’s lower low, those might reflect weakening in the intermediate term. Second, NDX probed slightly above its previous week’s high last Monday, August 17. However, it was quickly rejected and fell under the week’s low. The resulting bearish outside candle is a potential reversal pattern. Third, MACD has turned negative. This tepid price action comes at a time of historic earnings growth. Does that reflect doubts that conditions will remain as strong in coming months? TradeStation has, for decades, advanced the trading industry, providing access to stocks, options and futures.
