Trends, Support, and Resistance
The Nasdaq traded below the 21d EMA for the last four days. Today's brief rally at open turned into a sell-off and then a steady gain through the rest of the day.
If the index follows the one-day trend line, that would end near the trend line from the 6/16 low and result in a +1.16% gain for Tuesday.
The five-day trend line points to a -3.24% decline.

Have a wonderful Fourth of July weekend!
