NDX Index 100 has rebounded sharply from 11,037.21 (6/16/22 low). The ensuing rally has cleared above the 50-day ma (12,165), extending the oversold rally to intermediate-term resistance at 13,225-13,561 (38.2% retracement from Nov 2021-Jun 2022 decline and Dec 2021 downtrend). The ability to break out here can extend the summer rally to 13,901-14,111 (50% retracement and 200-day ma), and above this to 14,577-14,782.5 (61.8% retracement and 4/6/22 gap-down). On the other hand, failure to convincingly clear above 13,225-13,561 warns of a pullback to initial support at 12,897.5 (7/29/22 breakout), and below this 12,165-12,176 (7/19/22 breakout and the 50-day ma). Violation of the key moving average, coupled with a breakdown below the Jun 2022 uptrend (11,860), signals a retest of the 6/16/22 reaction low (11,037).
