Nasdaq Futures Analysis – 05Mar2021

Today (Friday) was another large range day.  Nasdaq futures (NQ) have lost 10% from their recent high, and they are are still below their 10 day moving average (SMA) and that indicates significant weakness despite today’s recovery rally from 12,200 level, which was defended successfully at 12,208. On the back of the recovery rally today (Friday), the Nasdaq futures can move up further to test the latest 10 day moving average (SMA) in the coming week on Monday or Tuesday, which may be near 12,900. Fresh long positions should be added after a closing above 10 day moving average (SMA).

The Momentum Indicator (CCI) has been holding up (without making a new low) despite significant fall in price this week, in both daily and 5 hour charts, which is a positive sign.

[Bonus Trade] Traders can stay long above 12,500 for target 13,500. Fresh long positions can be added above 13,000 level, with a close below 10 day SMA as stop loss.

Nasdaq Futures Analysis- 22Sep2020

Nasdaq Futures are recovering after hitting a low near 10,650 yesterday (Monday) morning. The 200 SMA on the 5 hour chart is a very likely target for the current upmove, which has been in progress since yesterday afternoon. The first indication of this recovery came in the first proper upmove yesterday afternoon, when the Nasdaq futures moved up by 150 points from 10,810 to 10,960 in one hour. That was the foundation of today’s upmove, and now the target of 11,300 is visible, which is the 200 SMA on the 5 hour chart. 11,300 will be a resistance level and we can expect selling pressure at that level.

The 200 SMA on the 5 hour chart is upward sloping (in uptrend), so the probability of it getting tested is high (much higher than if that was in down trend), because the Sellers would want to make sure that selling pressure is there if prices go higher. If buying starts coming in, then the Sellers will have to close their positions.

The 200 SMA on the Hourly chart was giving 11,150 as the target and it was achieved today. The Nasdaq futures have support at 10,900 level, but overall weakness is there and 10,500 is possible once 11,000 level is broken. Therefore, long trades have to be done very carefully. Exit longs below 10,900 (this was also the key support level earlier). Clean long trades will be possible above 11,600 for target 12,000 and above. Thanks.
