The Nasdaq yesterday at a glance – The NASDAQ recovered back to 13,403.4 after dipping down to 13,132.47 in a session that started at 13,403.4.

\\n

This limbo state for Nasdaq is reflected by market data published as United States ISM Manufacturing PMI (Jan) fell short of the 60 projections, at 58.7 and continued its downward trajectory from the previous figure of 60.5. The United States ISM Manufacturing Employment (Jan) released yesterday at 3:00 PM with a figure of 52.6, This is better than the previous number of 51.7. Released yesterday at 2:45 PM, United States's Manufacturing PMI showed an uptick, coming in at 59.2, up from the previous number of 59.1.

\\n

The Chart pattern study shows the Nasdaq is climbing away and is now 503.97 points from the 12,899.42 support line. In terms of trend indicators, we can see that the MACD line is below the MACD signal line significantly, meaning the medium-term trend might turn positive.

\\n

Overall, looking at the technical analysis landscape, it seems the Nasdaq might start pointing upward in the short term.

\\n

While the Nasdaq was pretty flat yesterday, mixed performances were seen elsewhere as Microsoft made its largest single-day gain ($9.98) since August 2020. Google made some headway from $1,835.74 to $1,901.35 (3.57%, $65.61).

\\n

Data to be released later might clear up some of the fog for the Nasdaq as United States ADP Nonfarm Employment Change (Jan) projected to outperform last figure with 45,000 while it previously stood at -123,000, data will be released tomorrow at 1:15 PM. United States Crude Oil Inventories are projected to outperform last figure with 367,000, while it previously stood at -9.91 million, data will be released tomorrow at 3:30 PM.
