SPX Chart

NDX Chart

We got a decent break above 2200 on the NDX mid week (last week I mentioned how a break above 2200 would be the next show of strength). We've now finished the week at 2214 and while this is above the 2200 level, it's not all that convincing still and could turn out to be a fake out break out.

On the SPX side, the breakdown on Thursday was very sharp and if we close below 1490, it would signal more weakness ahead. For now, the SPX is in trading range between 1490 and 1540 and we could see it trade in this range for a while before it decides on a direction. A Christmas rally remains on the cards while the Nasdaq remains strong.

Have a great weekend and Feel free to email me directly at angelo@stockbarometer.com if you have any feedback or questions.
