Nasdaq is facing strong resistance 1/12/2023

For the third consecutive session, the Nasdaq index faced challenges in breaking above and sustaining stability beyond the robust resistance level of 16060. This led to notable negative trading in the previous session after failing to maintain positive stability above 15940, resulting in a decline to 15860 and reaching its lowest level at 15822.

Technically, the simple moving averages continue to act as an impediment to the index, exerting downward pressure on the price. Additionally, trading stability below the previously breached support level of 15980, now acting as resistance, adds to the negative sentiment.

There is a possibility of a bearish trend during today’s session, targeting 15810. Breaking this level could extend the losses toward 15700, provided intraday trading remains below 15980. On the upside, consolidation above the main resistance of 16060 could reverse the trend upward, with a target of 16175.
