On the upside, there is an intermediate-term resistance at 19.61 followed by another zone of resistance from 24.15 – 27.82.

On the downside, the only visible support is the prior cycle low at 12.27.

For the bulls to regain control of the intermediate-term, we would need to see a weekly close above 31.49 to repair the some of the damage done on the downside.

askSlim Sum of the Evidence:

JWN is in a rising phase in a very negative overall cycle 
pattern. The analysis suggests that further upside in the near-term is limited. There is a likelihood that the stock trades below 12 by October.
