Nasdaq erases declines and pushes toward 38.2% retracement

The  Nasdaq  has retraced the move lower and has made a new high for the day as the buyers and sellers continue the battle.

The run back to the upside has also returned to, and now through, the July 22high (at 12093.02), and is within sniffing distance of the 38.2% retracement from the March29 high as well at 12124.37. The high just reached 12104.58.

If the price can get and stay above the 38.2% retracement it would be good news for the buyers. The swing high from June 2 at 12320.12 would be the next upside target.

First things first, get above the 38.2%. Key target to get to and through to prove the buyers have the conviction to move higher.

The Dow Jones up 224 points or 0.7% at 32422 and the S&P is up 30 points or 0.75% at 4054. The Russell 2000 is up 13.14 points or 0.71% at 1861.

US yields remain down but off there lowest levels:

  • 2 year, 2.887% with a low for the day of 2.818%
  • 10 year 2.683% with a low for the day at 2.619%
  • 30 year 3.001% with a low for the day at 2.970%

The JPY remains the biggest gainer on the day. The USDJPY is down -1.58% on the day. The EURJPY is the biggest mover with a decline of -1.95%. The AUDJPY is down 1.88%.

GBPUSD up and down. Back down testing 61.8% and swing area.

# GBPUSD tests 61.8% and swing area The GBPUSD is in an up and down day. The    GBPUSD  moved higher earlier. That move was helped by better than expected retail sales. However the high price today stalled near the high price from last week near 1.3643, and rotated back lower on the USD buying. The subsequent move lower now has the price back toward the 61.8% retracement along with a swing area between 1.35969 and 1.36034. As I type, the price has dipped below that swing area. What next? If the price can stay below the 1.36034 area, that would be the best case scenario for the sellers with the next major targets coming in at the 100 hour moving average 1.3569 (blue line), and the 200 hour moving average at 1.35609 (green line). The 50% midpoint of the 2022 trading range is just below those levels at 1.35526 and would be a another target on further weakness. A move back above 1.36034 with momentum would have traders looking again toward 1.3618 to 1.36271 and then t...
