The Technical Take
Indices point sharply lower after holiday weekend
Technical Snapshot Key Takeaways
  • The S&P, Nasdaq, and Dow finished Friday's session slightly lower, while the Russell finished higher. The S&P and Nasdaq reversed from their respective initial overhead resistance ranges. The Dow held beneath its recent highs, while the Russell briefly made new all-time highs before retracing back within its recent highs. Downside support ranges remain unchanged. Daily trends on the S&P, Dow, and Russell remain higher, while the Nasdaq moves sideways. Momentum readings on the S&P, Nasdaq, and Dow are confirming price action, moving lower from resistance alongside price. Conversely, momentum on the Russell is diverging from price, stalling at resistance as price makes new highs.
  • The Volatility Index (VIX) finished Friday's session slightly higher, finding buying pressure above its initial downside support range from 15.25-14.45. If price holds above this range and moves higher, it will likely retest the 18.50-17.75 resistance range, followed by 21.35-20.40. A move higher in the VIX would likely align with selling pressure in equities. Conversely, an extended consolidation above support or a break below it would likely lead to continued buying pressure in equities.
