​​NASDAQ 100 and S&P 500 steady, but Nikkei 225 remains under pressure​

While US indices continue to hold up, the losses have continued for the Nikkei 225.

​​​NASDAQ 100 consolidates below highs

​Consolidation continues here, as the NASDAQ 100 index holds above the previous high.

​For the moment the buyers have been unable to re-establish upward momentum, but the overall bullish view remains in place. A close back below 20,760 might point towards a period of short-term weakness.

​S&P 500 holds on to gains

​A similar picture prevails here; S&P 500 buyers have been unable to maintain upward momentum in the past few sessions, but sellers have not succeeded in driving the price lower.

​In the short-term, a drop back may find support at the October highs of 5880.

​Nikkei 225 drifts below 39,000

​The Nikkei 225 rally from late October has run into some selling, marking a retreat from 40,000, though the rally from the August low continues.

​Continued losses would head towards the late October low around 37,340. A recovery back above 39,000 might signal that a new test of 40,000 could be on the cards.
