In Monday’s (Apr 13th) Keys To This Week report, we pointed out that the NASDAQ 100 (NDX) finished last week just below very formidable overhead resistance at 8200, which is the current location of its 200-day moving average.  We said this market-leading tech bellwether must get back above this major trend proxy to turn the major trend back to positive or bullish.

Chart 1 below shows that NDX has gapped higher this morning, which places it well above 8200.  This clears the way for a potential, additional 4% rise to test the next overhead resistance level at 8911, which is the Jan 27th low.

The 8200 to 8027 level, the latter which represents the July 2019 benchmark high, now becomes major underlying support which NDX must now remain above to keep what appears to be an emerging major bullish trend change intact.
