Last week, I provided an update on the Nasdaq 100 technical patterning offering up two likely support targets. The first target was for a ABC measured move, and the second for the head and shoulders breakdown.
A closer look at the current construct of the Nasdaq 100 shows that support may be near. The head and shoulders pattern measures to roughly 2660-2675 and the just below that is the 200 day moving average. As well, the RSI is nearing 30 (a sign that a bounce is near).
It will be interesting, though, to see what Monday brings on the 25 year anniversary of the 1987 crash, especially with such a brutal candle on Friday. Watch Apple (AAPL) as well (Stocktwits update here), as it makes up a good chunk of the index.
Trade safe, trade disciplined.
