Elliott Wave analysis indices

SP500 and NASDAQ Minor Elliott Wave 4 appears to be completed with the help of stocks like APPL, NFLX and NVDA. The smaller markets RUT, DAX 40 FTSE and ASX200 are also still very close to the counts on the SP500, which is leading higher over the Nasdaq finding the 20,000 as a strong resistance.

As mentioned last week we are heading into an unfriendly trading environment, choppy sidewards price action with the overall trend edging higher and this is still the case. No trading strategy or trend trade recommendations only smaller positions for scalping.
