Nasdaq futures
- Emini Nasdaq March futures are back below 25500/2550 this morning but we have bounced nicely from the next downside target of 25300/25250.
- Longs need stops below 25190 and of course bulls will want to see us fill the gap up to 25592.
- This should be the main resistance of the day, so a break above 25610 should be encouraging targeting 25740/750 & 25850/860.
- Resistance at 25950/26050.
- Maybe a break higher opens the door to a retest of the all time high at 26399.
- However a break below 25190 tests strong support at 25050/25000 - longs need stops below 24850.
