The Nasdaq closed the week up 2.01% after trading in a 800 pts range. During a highly volatile week price started the week pushing up into the 55 ema and the Oct 6th pivot where it reversed hard and fell 800 pts to retest the June 16th low only to reverse once again on Friday and close near the highs of the week. The massive bullish reversal can be attributed to rumours that the Fed will add the word ‘Pivot’ to their statement during the FOMC meeting next Wednesday. Bull/Bear line this week = 55 ema (11740).
