A high for the day exactly here but yesterday's bullish engulfing candle suggests a bear squeeze has started.
Nasdaq December tested the important 200 week moving average at 11180/150. A break below 10990 was required for a sell signal but this was the low yesterday.

Remember when support is broken it usually acts as resistance & vice-versa.
Daily analysis
Emini S&P December bullish engulfing candle off the 200 week moving average in severely oversold conditions suggests a low for the correction, at this stage at least. A high for the day exactly at strong resistance at 3700/20 but be ready to buy a break above 3720 targeting 3750/53. We should struggle to beat this level here but shorts are probably too risky now. If we continue higher look for 3790/95. Eventually we could reach 3850/60.
A dip below 3690 signals a test of support at 3660/50. Longs need stops below 3640.
