Introduction
Nasdaq futures continue trading exactly as we outlined in our previous analysis. Rather than breaking in either direction, NQ remains trapped inside the triangle that has been developing over the past several weeks. There is more support building off the lower end of this trianlge now, which could mean there is an opportunity for buyers to get involved.
The overall trend remains bullish, with price holding comfortably above both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages. The 50 has held as a strong support level each time the market tests it. From here, the key is going to be if the buying pressure will be strong enough to hold the price above both the 50 MA and the triangle.
