Market Overview: NASDAQ 100 Emini Futures
The NASDAQ Emini futures week is a bull trend bar with a prominent tail above. The market had a close above the March high close and a new all-time high close.
On the daily chart, this week could have been the third leg of the spike up in early May. Its not clear at this point if this week is a channel and spike – where the last leg of a channel is a strong spike/climax or if it’s a new spike that should have a channel phase of its own.
So far, the month is a big bull bar. The problem for the bulls is going to be the same problem the bears had last month – There are two more weeks left in the month and the monthly bar is big. So, it is likely that at least one of the two remaining weeks will be a doji/bear bar.

The Weekly NASDAQ chart
- The week is a bull trend bar with a bigger tail on top than the bottom.
- The week closed above the March high close and is a new all-time high close.
- Bulls need the next couple of weeks to be good bull follow-through bars to convince traders the market is breaking out of the trading range from March.
- Last week’s report had mentioned that this week might start a pullback, which means the low of this week is below last week’s low.
- Instead, this week’s low is higher than last week’s low which creates a 3-bar bull micro-channel.
- The bull micro-channel means market will likely come back to this week’s close, even if it pulls back from here.
