Summary:  US stock Indices failing to break key resistance levels. Sellers back in control could push S&P500 , Nasdaq and Dow Jones lower in coming week
S&P 500 / US500 cfd
Nasdaq 100 / USDNAS100 cfd
Dow Jones Industrial / US30 cfd


S&P 500 has failed to close the gap before sellers took back control. To close the gap a close above 4,402 is needed.

RSI is showing negative sentiment with no divergence indicating lower levels are likely. A bearish move to test the support at around 4,212 once again is in the cards

A close above 4,402 will demolish the bearish picture and could fuel a short rally to around 4,461

Nasdaq 100 was rejected at the upper falling trendline and have failed to close above the Cloud (Shaded area)
Closed Friday just a few cents above the Gap area, if Nasdaq is closing below 14,849 expect further selling down to support at around 14,254 possibly lower.

RSI was rejected  at the 60 threshold i.e., still in negative sentiment indicating the Nasdaq Index is likely to trade lower in coming days and week. If RSI is closing back below 40 selling pressure could increase pushing Nasdaq 100 below 14K

For Nasdaq 100 to establish a bullish trend a close above 15,334 is needed.
