Equities 2 minutes to read

Summary:  The looming correction in US equities now seems to be unfolding following yesterday's sell-off
Equities can still end the year or begin the new on a high note with indicators pointing to higher levels


Nasdaq 100 yesterday took out its all-time high before being hit with heavy selling. Sellers took control after buyers had been in control for the better part of two months now. A correction that has been looming is now unfolding. A correction that could take Nasdaq 100 down to the 0.618 retracement and support at around 16,140.

However, the correction could be cut short. The RSI indicator is still showing positive sentiment and there is no divergence indicating Nasdaq is likely to move higher after a correction

A close above 16,860 and the uptrend scenario will be extended

For Nasdaq 100 to reverse to down trend a close below 15,740 is needed.
