Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Yuriy Matso (@yuriymatso). Nasdaq 100 futures inched higher by just +0.26% today, but that was enough to mark a nine-month closing high. Yuriy points out that the index is attempting to clear resistance around 13350 after consolidating for more than a month. Price cracked it today, but it hasn’t decisively broken out yet. Once broken, it will be important to see this level turn into support to avoid a bull trap or failed breakout.

For 8-months- #sp500 can't breach 4200. Probably just a good idea to worry about EBITDA and what Warren Buffet thinks- rather than watching that level. 🙂 pic.twitter.com/yHcM2iQd6S
