Very often, I capture how the market is going to move throughout the week with just one paragraph of description in my weekly Market Forecast. Last weekend was not an exception, in which I wrote:

"For the new week, we might see a bounce to test SPX 1975, or around there. Then, we will have to see if the markets can keep bouncing or fall back down. On the up side, SPX has resistance at 1975 to 1980. On the downside, we might see the market test 1910-1900."

On Monday, the market popped, and the SPX went up to test the 1975 to 1980 resistance. While the broader market advanced, biotechs were weak. I cautioned my members in the Chatroom:

"market still consolidating... Biotechs still on the weak side... [8:04 am (PST)]"

Sure enough, on Tuesday, stocks fell sharply. SPX went down to test 1930. Wednesday was a narrow-ranged, flat day. On Thursday, the market dropped again. This time, SPX tested 1910. But, buyers soon came in. The week ended with SPX at around 1930.

At the time of this writing, Asian markets were lower. The coming week should be very interesting. Let's take a look at where things stood after last Friday's close:

SPX

On Friday, SPX slipped 0.9 point to close at 1931.34. Its daily MAs and MACD were little changed.

Nasdaq

Nasdaq dropped 47.98 points to close at 4686.5. Its daily MAs and MACD went down.

Weeks ago, energy stocks hurt the SPX. This week the biotechs hurt Nasdaq. Nasdaq had been staying stronger than the broader market, but, last week's drop did some damage to Nasdaq. Both indices closed below their respective daily MAs. For the new week...
