NASDAQ 100
In our last update on 1/19/22 "NASDAQ 100 holds key area overnight" we left off with...
"Taking out 15,000 should mean a longer term top is in and if so, our long term target area will be 13,060 to 12,870, this is 23.6% back to the 2008 low, 38.2% back to the 2020 low and a major Gann square." In this same post we showed you what setup this current break from the ATH.
The rally from 15,000 could not even get back to 23.6% of the break from the ATH and following the ONE44 Fibonacci rules we know this is a very negative sign especially after hitting such a key level below. By taking out 15,000 it gave us the new downside target of 13,060 to 12,870 mentioned above. As we always say, we watch all the retracements on any move to see just how weak, or strong the market is regardless of the long term target. With that said, we can now watch all the retracements back up to the ATH to see if the down move is going to continue to our long term target area based on the same rules.
The short term trend will remain negative as long as any rally fails to close above 38.2% at 14,900, it can always trade above/below these levels, however it is the close that matters. Just above 14,900 is the 200 day average at 15,005 and a major Gann square at 15,043, so this will be a key area to overcome. Not getting above 23.6% at 14,400 is a very negative sign and it should quickly go for new lows. There is also a major Gann square at 14,466. As you can see on the chart below the red horizontal lines on it are major Gann squares and very good for using as swing points and targets. You will see a lot of highs and lows on these levels, here too the close is key to violating them.
