Coming off highly volatile week. Nasdaq closed down 3.22 % after trading in a range of 750 points. Nasdaq has opened the week back where it closed after the Thursday reversal reclaiming all of Friday’s pull back. Price sits at the Jun 16th low and the 9ema. The main consideration is whether or not the recent bullish price action is simply a retest of the June 16th breakdown or the beginning of a new up trend. The June 16th low (11068) is key. A move above that level through the downward trendline would be very bullish. Must break Fridays high for trend continuation. If price rejects in the resistance zone (red box) a move back down to the recent lows is possible.
