Nasdaq Composite Index breaks resistance level at 6838.70 and progress to 8878.00

Denis Joeli Fatiaki Independent Analyst

In this article, I will look at what is going on with the Nasdaq Index and also review the prediction I made in my last update.

Nasdaq surged at the last hour of its previous session as we can visibly see on this chart and was the only Index closed above its opening price point.

So what's going on with Index? Today we saw the Index open just above 8638.70 and advanced to 8762.50 which I mention in my last update, that these are essential price points to look out for in today's session.

The Index is currently trying to hold at the current resistance level and will only progress further if it holds above 8762.50. This estimate is calculated according to the recent price action. As I said in my last update, we don't know what the market is going to do next, but we can look at historical data and more importantly its current price action to try and determine its next move.

The current trading condition is not suitable for the faint-hearted. The market could move aggressively to the upside, and retreat as we have seen many times in the past. If you decide to get in, make sure you have a trading plan to avoid getting traped.
The next level to look out for is around 8878.00, 8961.70, and 9070.00.
Support remains at 8638.70, 8387.50, 8271.80, 8081.50.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
