Nasdaq and S&P500 hard to clear the resistance - tone turn bearish


NASDAQ - 2000 key resistance proved too tough to clear

Further correction likely: The continued failure to stay above the key 2000 resistance level could see the index heading lower still in the coming week.

Indicators showing bearish signals:With the RSI on the verge of falling out from the overbought level and the MACD initiating a bearish crossover last week, they also suggest that the downside momentum is building up.


S&P500 - Hovering at key 1000 level

Hovering at 1000 key level: The index is currently hovering at the 1000 key level and it could still break either way.

Technical indicators favor correction:But with both the RSI and MACD indicators looking to head lower, the risk is to the downside.


Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) - Tone has turned bearish

A tall order to reach for the 9652 resistance:After maintaining above the 9000 key support successfully, the index may struggle to reach the next resistance at 9652.

Technical readings point bearish divergence:This as the RSI has shown a bearish divergence to the price over the last 3 weeks and the MACD indicator are showing signs of a bearish reversal, both suggesting that the tone is starting to turn bearish for the index.
