The short-term range is 6841.00 to 7095.25. Its retracement zone at 6968.00 to 6938.00 is the first downside target. Since the main trend is up, buyers could return on a test of this zone.
Daily Technical Forecast
Based on the early price action, the direction of the March E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index is likely to be determined by trader reaction to the uptrending Gann angle at 7033.00.
Bullish Scenario
A sustained move over 7033.00 will indicate the presence of buyers. If this creates enough upside momentum then look for a retest of 7095.25. Taking out this top will reaffirm the uptrend with the December 3 main top at 7169.00 the primary upside target.
Bearish Scenario
A sustained move under 7033.00 will signal the presence of sellers. The next downside target is the major Fibonacci level at 7022.25. The daily chart indicates there is plenty of room to the downside if this level fails with 6968.00 the next target.
