Nasdaq retreats

Outlook 03/05: U.S. stock futures slip after Nasdaq retreats from record. Monday’s slides pulled the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite off record highs, even as high-flying AI winner Nvidia advanced. AMD shares traded 1.5% lower after Bloomberg reported the chipmaker hit a regulatory snag that will prevent it from selling an artificial intelligence chip to China. Apple fell more than 2% on the back of a report that found iPhone sales plunged in China in the first six weeks of 2024. On the data front, the factory orders and ISM Services Index are scheduled for release Tuesday morning.

/ESH24 (MAR 2024): YVAH 5145 YPOC 5141 YVAL 5136 GAP 5134.75

/ES Plan: Yesterday market closed bearish, and overnight continues on that way, moving below value/range, so these're the opening and initial balance options for today:

A) If market remains above HVE 5113 with bullish internals, buy towards GAP-YVAL 5135 and YVAH 5145.

B) If market falls below HVE 5113 with bearish internals, sell towards GAPs 5100-5071 and HVEs 5060-5050.

Note: Overnight inventory is 100% bearish. The expected action is a counter-auction; failure to see the counter-auction would be an indication of potential trend day. Market opens below value and if it begins to trade within value, VAR comes into play.
