Nasdaq bulls were knocked around well this week by sellers who took advantage of the thin market profile left behind after the Fed back on 3/18. After sliding down through that region they used their momentum to overshoot the reaction zone and close the 3/13 gap and push through most of its range.
Futures were flat heading into the 8:30am GDP and Personal Consumption data. Also on the agenda today is the U of M Confidence data at 10am, Baker Hughes Rig Count at 1pm, and a sneaky 3:45pm Yellen speaking engagement on Monetary Policy. The initial reaction after the GDP data was selling.
Heading into today, my primary expectation is for buyer to attempt a continuation of yesterday’s rebound. If they can push above yesterday’s session high 4331 I will look for an accelerated move up to the NVPOC at 4350.75.
Hypo 2 is sellers push us below 4300 early on and sustain trade below it to set up a move toward overnight low 4297.25 then a continued exploration lower below Thursday’s low 4271.75. If responsive buyers are not found here, then it opens the door for a push down to 4250.
Levels are highlighted below:

It is all good. To actually think evil predatory robots are out for me would be a heinous act of paranoia.
