^IXIC Signals & Forecast

The Nasdaq index holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the index, but the index has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at 26,066.84 points and 26,161.80 points. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, June 02, 2026, and so far it has fallen -2.13%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Nasdaq index

Trading Expectations (^IXIC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 22nd

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect NASDAQ Composite to open at 26,422.12 points, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between 26,261.64 points and 26,774.22 points, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-512.58 points (+/-1.95%) up or down from last closing price. If NASDAQ Composite takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.95% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at 26,683.94 points (0.63%) than the support at 26,274.13 points (0.92%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
