  • Nasdaq Futures Show Mildly Bearish Bias Post Trump-Xi Meeting
    May 14, 2026, 10:25 AM EDT. Nasdaq June 26 (NQ JUN26) futures presented a mildly bearish outlook following the failed attempt to break resistance near 29,600-29,610. Sellers pushed the price below the upper acceptance line at 29,571.50, moving toward the lower value area near 29,481.50. Despite a rebound to 29,509.75, suggesting some short-term support, the market remains under pressure as the bounce lacks confirmation of a bullish reversal. The critical trigger for further decline is failure to hold above the lower value area (VAL) at 29,481.50, with a downside target zone between 29,450 and 29,438. Traders should watch the point of control (POC) at 29,509.75 for direction, while a move above 29,553-29,560 could signal a bullish repair. The current prediction score is mildly bearish, reflecting mixed sellers' control and short-covering activity.
