Nasdaq100 (NQ) Rejected @ Weekly Chart Descending Wedge Resistance

Nasdaq100 (NQ) slid more than 1% yesterday after getting rejected Wednesday at descending wedge resistance (on the weekly chart).  NQ appears to be entering the advanced stages of the Dead Cat Bounce that began early in the new year, with odds increasing for NQ to slide back to this year’s low before month end.  Any test of the psychologically key 10k whole figure level and weekly chart descending wedge support will likely have to wait until at least early February.  The escalation in the Ukraine-Russia conflict deserves close monitoring.  Congratulations to paying subscribers who benefited from the Oct 18, 2022 analysis highlighting the early stages of a month plus Dead Cat Bounce, the Jan 18, 2022 warning of the NQ keeling over on a monthly chart, the alert February 18th, 2020 one day before the record high in the S&P500, warning of a pending slide in the Nasdaq100 and from the March 24th, 2020 report highlighting the looming multi­day to multi­week rebound in NQ.  The tiring weekly Stochastics is weighing on the flattening weekly MACD.  I am looking to enter short in the red zone (of the daily chart), targeting the green zone for Thursday.  The amber/yellow zone is where I might place a stop if I was a swing trader (although in my personal account with which I seldom hold overnight I sometimes set my stops tighter).  Click here for analysis on S&P500, GBPAUD
