The September NASDAQ 100 closed sharply lower on Thursday as it extended the decline off this month's high. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Friday's night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI remain bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If September extends the decline off last week's high, June's low crossing at 2418.25 is the next downside target. Closes above the 10-day moving average crossing at 2564.62 would temper the near-term bearish outlook. Closes above last week's high crossing at 2628.25 are needed to renew this month's rally. First resistance is this month's high crossing at 2628.25. Second resistance is the reaction high crossing at 2639.75. First support is today's low crossing at 2503.50. Second support is this month's low crossing at 2418.25.<\/p>\n

The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Friday's night session begins trading.

If September extends the decline off this month's high, the reaction low crossing at 1298.00 is the next downside target.
