The NASDAQ is in focus with the looming November close as the index looks to try and hold the 5,200 level and print a potential third monthly candle close above this key breakout level. A successful hold above 5,200 would help to develop a bullish ascending triangle breakout following those already seen on the the S&P500 and DJIA indices. The NASDAQ 100 ETF, QQQ, is also in focus as it trades just below the 120 breakout level.
