- US stocks open lower
- Evergrande fears weigh on market sentiment
- Tesla (TSLA.US) criticized by the chief of the National Transportation Safety Board
US indices launched today’s session sharply lower amid mounting concerns over a massive default in the Chinese real estate market and potential spillover effects sink indices in Asia, Europe and the United States. Dow Jones fell more than 500 pts to a fresh 2-month low and both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq are trading more than 1% lower as investors' risk appetite retreated ahead of FOMC meeting which will take place on Wednesday and investors are worried the central bank will signal that it is ready to start the tapering process.
Taking a look at the US30 chart, we can see that the index fell sharply during today’s session however sellers failed to break below major support at 33500 pts where the lows from July are located. This level is also marked with a lower limit of the 1:1 structure, 200-session moving average (red line) and a 23.6% retracement of the upward move launched in November 2020. Should break lower occur, then downward correction may deepen towards support at 31990 pts. However as long as the price sits above the aforementioned 33500 pts level, then further upward impulse may be launched. Source: xStation5
