Chart of the Day
๐ Todayโs Chart of the Day was shared by Yuriy Matso (@yuriymatso).
- The Nasdaq led today for a change, closing higher by just +0.19%. In less than three weeks, it has pulled back as much as -9% on a closing basis.
- Using an hourly candlestick chart of Nasdaq 100 futures since the recent peak, Yuriy points out that price has coiled into a tight triangle pattern over the past three sessions. Pressure is building for an explosive move, or resolution, as it reaches the apex.
- Triangles โshouldโ resolve in the direction of the underlying trend, which in this case is lower. However, resolving higher would indicate a reversal in the short-term downtrend and potentially end the recent pullback.
The Takeaway: The Nasdaq has coiled into a triangle pattern within a short-term downtrend. This triangle "should" resolve lower, but resolving higher would break the short-term downtrend and perhaps end the recent pullback.
Quote of the Day
โThe one thing Iโve learned about markets over time is that they tend to train you to ignore something and then humiliate you once you figure it doesnโt matter.โ
