The last Friday, the Nasdaq 100 index failed to move below the short-term support at 12 442.50 USD. That highly raises the odds of a bear market rally continuing further. A breakout above the short-term resistance will suggest the index will test the next resistance level at 13 555.25 USD. Despite that, we do not foresee any changes to bearish fundamental factors. Therefore, we have no reason to change our medium and long-term bearish outlook on NQ1!. However, we are indecisive about where the market is headed next in the short term. Therefore, we are very cautious, and we will monitor the price action (and volume) throughout the day.
