NASDAQ Correction not over yet but won't be a big one either.

3月18日

Nasdaq (NDX) started a correction last week (see our March 12 idea below) which was after a rejection at the top of the multi-month Channel Up that transitioned into a Head and Shoulders (H&S) on the lower time-frames (4H) and broke below February's Channel:

Despite the early bounce today, we don't expect this correction to be over, but won't be a lengthy one either. On the 1D time-frame we set a 17130 Target and that seems to be almost in perfect sync with what the 1W time-frame shows us, which is at most a test of the 17,000 - 16,850 range.

What's the importance of this? Well that is the horizontal level of the previous November 2021 All Time High (ATH), i.e. a Resistance, that may now turn into a Support. As this 1W analysis shows us, since NDX started trading inside a log Channel Up since 2010 (that later broke upwards thus is best viewed here by the Fibonacci Channel levels), the prior Resistance has been tested and held 9 times (with the exceptions being the March 2020 COVID flash crash and of course more recently the 2022 inflation Bear Cycle).

The key on those sequences has been the formation of Lower Highs on the 1W RSI when done above the overbought barrier (70.00). The 2nd Lower High has basically been the technical sell signal that called for the formation of the medium-term Top.

At the same time though keep in mind that on all those medium-term corrections, the index touched the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line), with the only exception being the September 2020 pull-back. The 1W MA50 is currently at 15500 (but rising aggressively), considerably lower than the 17,000 - 16,850 Support Zone. The difference maker in any case would be the Fed's outlook towards potential rate cuts this year. The slightest mention of potential cuts either this Wednesday or later, would be enough not to let the index free fall to the 1W MA50.

In any case, this chart shows long-term investors when to consider to take some profits (RSI Lower Highs) and then when to have the patience to wait a few weeks - 2 months before entering again. On the long-term we expect a minimum repeat of the September 2020 - November 2021 rally towards the 2.0 Fibonacci extension. As a result our long-term target on Nasdaq is 27000.
