CHARTS
DJ30: A second week bouncing around the February lows, indeed undercutting the February low intraday Monday. All the while DJ30 danced at the 61% Fibonacci retracement of the September to January rally, as well as the 200 day SMA. Two weeks at these levels, perhaps getting a bit too long.
Did try to bounce starting Tuesday and through Thursday, but had no volume or breadth. Now with the Friday drop DJ30 starts over to try again, but no doubt it like gives it a shot. Note how it came off the low after tapping the 61% dead on. Double bottoms at this level have a good history, if all remains equal, of rallying nicely.
SP500: Very similar to DJ30, also spending a second week near the February lows, undercutting the closing low Monday through Wednesday on the intraday lows. It held at the February closing low and the 200 day SMA, and tapped the 78% Fibonacci retracement on the Monday intraday low before rebounding, just as it did on that big intraday drop in early February.
Thus, basically the same as DJ30, just at a lower Fibonacci retracement, also a good level to double bottom and rebound.
NASDAQ: NASDAQ tested down to the early February closing low starting Monday, and that put in the low for the week though it was tested Tuesday and Wednesday. On the closes, NASDAQ held very near the trendline from early 2016. It also held over the still rising 200 day SMA on the lows.
Not a double bottom as explained last week given the higher March high, but it is in a channel outlined by the highs and lows this year. Perhaps it will adjust into a new, larger channel than the prior tight one that was of course aided by the FOMC's spoon feeding the market.
