Looking at the NASDAQ weekly chart, the index has been banging against the 200 week moving average at 1.0796.03 this week. The move higher yesterday looked like it might have averted a break and close at the end the week, but the fall back lower today is shifting the bias back to the downside and threatens a negative close for the week tomorrow.

The low price for today just reached 1.0771.41. The opening  volatility  is continuing.
