Market Update
There are times when psychological round number levels are more important than technical chart points in setting trading sentiment.
Two of these levels, US7500 and NAS100 30K, are currently the focus, the former pausing just above it while the latter saw a brief break (with NAS100 always give a little leeway rather than looking for exact chart points).
As noted, if new record highs are not set then dependent on US500 7500 and NAS100 30K holding to keep a bid.
