​Dow shies away from 40,000

​Monday’s session saw the Dow pull back from another record high, as 40,000 continues to elude the index for the time being.​Potential horizontal support at the previous high of 39,287 may now be tested, while below this is rising trendline support from early January.

​​Psychological resistance at 40,000 continues to be the main target for the index in any upward move.

​Nasdaq 100 drifts sideways

​The sideways price action continues here, as the index fell back from Monday’s high even as buyers have appeared to forestall any downside.​The index remains close to the recent record high at 18,466, maintaining the overall uptrend, even if upward progress has been lacking over the past two weeks.

​Trendline support from early January remains in place, while below this is the March low at 17,805.
