Trend Analysis
The main view of this trade idea is on the 2-Hour Chart. The NASDAQ 100 Index (NAS100) is currently testing resistance, after declining a little over 8% in the month of September into early October. In mid-October NAS100 broke the downtrend trendline and steadily rallied back towards 15720 resistance. A clear breakout from this resistance level established in early September should take NAS100 towards 17200. A failure in this potential breakout will be known if NAS100 declines to 15260.
On the Daily Chart NAS100 is making a leg higher with the uptrend intact.
Technical Indicators
Currently NAS100 is trading above its short (50-MA), medium (100-MA) and long (200-MA) term fractal moving averages. There have been positive crossovers on these MAs, indicating a bullish trend. The RSI is also above 50 with the KST making a positive crossover. These technical indicators are implying that the uptrend for NAS100 will continue.
Recommendation
The recommendation will be to go long at market, with a stop loss at 15260 and a target of 17200. This produces a risk/reward ratio of 2.99.
