SoftBank’s long squeeze has market participants running to the exits as fears mount while the Japanese bank sheds $15 billion. Markets moved lower over the past three days with Asian shares lower on Wednesday along with a new low in the oil market.
In this technical chart analysis note we take a look at key support areas on the WS30 Daily charts:
The U.S market started to show some life Wednesday morning, with the Wall Street 30 Index stalling at the 27155-support level along with the 50-day SMA. These levels need to hold to negate another move lower to the next support level of 25607.
The new tech stock additions to the Dow couldn’t have come at a worse time as the price action nearly reached our third and final target back higher at 29390.
Prime opportunity for dip buyers or another leg lower? If fear continues to set in, then we may be in for another leg lower (if the support levels do not hold).

The price action is still behaving as anticipated and mentioned in our previous Technical insights but unfortunately price turned around denying us our third target at 29390. If the support at 27155 does not hold, then the short sellers might thrust the price action lower to a possible target of 25163.
This level is the next major support level which also coincidentally coincides with the 61.8 Fib level as a possible support to hold the line for further downside.
