Nasdaq Minimum Follow-through Bar on Weekly Chart

By

Market Overview: NASDAQ 100 Emini Futures

NASDAQ Emini futures market ended week with minimum follow-through bar to the outside bar last week. Closed as a doji bar with a long tail below, closing just below last week’s close.

The market has been essentially sideways for the past 5 weeks. There are still bull targets above, so likely the market will make those before a bigger pullback.

The Weekly NASDAQ chart

Nasdaq Weekly Weak Minimum Follow-through to outside bar
  • The market tried reversing from the outside bar of last week.
  • While last week was a bull outside bar, it went below the prior week more than above the prior week.
  • So, it was likely for the market to try and move lower this week.
  • Bears who had sold in the lower half of last week sold the close of last week and were able to get out without a loss.
  • That explains the tail below this week.
  • So, now the question is – Will the market continue going sideways, or will it try to reach the targets above?
  • The bulls did the minimum of having a bull close this week.
  • This is the first consecutive bull close in the past 6 weeks.
  • The next bull target is the close of Week of 8/8 at 13569.75 – the last bull bar of the micro channel up in August. That was a reasonable buy the close bar, and there are trapped bulls up there.
  • The market is close enough to this target that it should reach it.
  • There is also a body gap created by the week of 1/30 – There has not been a bear close after the market broke above the close of 1/30 that overlaps with the body of 1/30.
  • If the market goes sideways for a few weeks, bears will try to get a leg down like they did at the end of the first leg up in early February.
  • The first target for bears will be to close the body gap by going below close of 1/30 – 12613.25

The Daily NASDAQ chart

Nasdaq Daily Continued Trading Range
  • Friday was a bull trend bar with a small tail at the top. It went a lot higher than Thursday but closed below the close of last week.
  • After the strong move up last week, it was likely there would be a 2nd leg.
  • The week started with two legs down to the high of the 4/25 bar from last week.
  • This was the breakout point of last week, so likely trapped bears above the high of 4/25.
  • This was tested on Thursday, and Friday gapped up and finished strongly.
  • Is Friday the end of the 2nd leg?
  • Bulls will need a good follow-through bar Monday. If not, the market will likely continue to go more sideways.
  • When there is a bigger pullback, some of the possible targets and areas of support are shown in the chart.
