Today's Analysis
E-mini S&P break of the neck line at 4590/80 is a significant sell signal. Targets initially are 4525/20, 4495/90, 4450/45.
Strong resistance at 4590/4600. Shorts need stops above 4615.
NASDAQ is building a minor negative trend in January targeting 15550/500, 15350/320 and retest of last week's low at 15170/150. Further losses however are being seen towards the 200 day moving average at 15000/14950. A break below here is a significant sell signal and we could see losses accelerate to the downside. A break below 14830 is the next sell signal.
Bulls need a move above 15350 today but we still run in to resistance at 15480/510 and strong resistance at 15650/700.
E-mini Dow Jones breaks the 100 day moving average at 35350/330 to test less important Fibonacci support at 35120/110. A break below 35090 therefore should be a sell signal targeting the 200 day moving average at 34900/850. Failure here (likely eventually) risks a slide to 34560/540.
Strong resistance at 35450/550. Second resistance at 35760/790.
