US500 cfd levels:
Nasdaq 100 seems to be pausing a bit with a couple of days of indecision testing the upper trendline in what appears to be a rising channel.
The past couple of days the traded volume has been declining which is and indication of a weakening of the uptrend.
Divergence on RSI supports the picture of a trend that is weakening and indicates a correction could be seen.
However, to reverse the uptrend a close below 13,520 is needed. First indication of that scenario to play out would be a break of the lower rising trendline.
Medium-term the uptrend is also intact with no RSI divergence supporting the view of Nasdaq 100 could reach resistance at around 15,265
