Dow Jones 30

Microsoft, McDonald's Corp and American Express were the biggest winners for Dow Jones 30 on Friday. However, these gains were not enough to lift the index price up and it closed with a daily loss of 26 index points. 20 out of 30 companies from the index lost ground on Friday.

Nasdaq 100

Nasdaq 100 was positively impacted by the great reports from Microsoft and PayPal whose stock prices went to new highs. However, the index gained 40 index points and close higher on weekly basis as even on Friday (when the other two major indices - Dow Jones 30 and S&P 500, close on daily loss) the closing price was around the break-even from the previous day or a small gain of several index points at the end of the trading session in US.

Thank you Kiril. This will reflect on Nasdaq also. My chart for Nasdaq shows lowest point for today 4840, which is reached already and the price currently is 4846, but to the end of the day I expect 4870.

US 30, is in complex consolidation. Based on daily chart US 30 needs to step over sma 100 - 18218.56, which is resistance now, to continue to 10300. These numbers are for for today. 18218 is the first important resistance for today on the way up to 18300.
