NQ_F Strong bounce afte retest of the 786 Fib retracement. Back above the Mar 29th high and has broken recent high on MSFT news. Upside target is the 866 Fib. TSLA earnings tomorrow after the bell will be key. Bullish bias will continue unless price falls back below the 786.

NQ_F continues to grind higher. Uptrend is weakening though. Possible pull back if people take profit in TSLA as it come into 300. Also some rotation into the defensive sectors today.

NQ_F TSLA tapped 299.5 and then sold off on earning taking the market with it. Profit taking has pulled price back below the Mar 29th high. Now sitting at the 786 Fib retracement again. Look for support here. If support fails a move to the bottom of the green box is likely.
