Nasdaq yesterday at a glance – light green but with no clear-cut direction, NASDAQ closed at 13,129 after it ranged between 13,171 and 13,051.

\\n

The uptick comes while some more positive signs for the Nasdaq are out as United States Crude Oil Inventories released earlier showed an improvement to -3.25 million from the preceding data of -8.01 million, but falls short of the projected -2.27 million.

\\n

At the same time, United States Federal Budget Balance (Dec) beat expectations of -200.00 billion with new data release of -144.00 billion. This is also a step forward from the previous data of -145.00 billion. The United States's Core Consumer Prices published yesterday at 1:30 PM came out at 1.6. The indicator value matched both the projected value and the previous data of 1.6.

\\n

The Nasdaq is getting closer and is now only 73.03 points from the resistance line at 13,202, Crossing it might suggest further gains are ahead. At 13,103.61, the Nasdaq made an initial breakout above the 3 day Simple Moving Average. The CCI indicator is above 100, indicating a possible start of a new uptrend. The upper Bollinger band is at 13,201.83, indicating a negative correction might be next. Overall, technical indicators suggest Nasdaq has no obvious direction for the immediate future.

\\n

A look at other markets shows behavior that usually indicates a green move for the Nasdaq, as Apple is trading at $130.89 after gaining 1.62%.

\\n

At the same time, The Shanghai Composite Index lost 32.75 points from the start of the session, trading at 3,566 levels.

\\n
