Nasdaq (-1.21%) came back to the short-term resistance. After the strong advance, it is possible to see it resting and consolidating in this area under the SMA200. Also, there is very likely to close the Tuesday gap before resuming the uptrend.
SP-500 (-0.63%) also closed in red. The small retracement with lower volumes is constructive and in a way, expected. Watching the support now (old short-term resistance at the black line) as this area might be the key now.

What to trade today
Not a bullish day yesterday, but mostly all the mentioned stocks in the last few days are still in the game. Besides the trades which are acting constructively and not triggered yet ($$(SE)$, $$(AMD)$, $$(BILL)$, $$(NVDA)$, $$(MELI)$, $$(SEDG)$, $$(DOCN)$, $$(LILM)$), I will watch:
Cloudflare ($$(NET)$) tries to go over its SMA200, but yesterday the volumes were very low for the red day. If the price breaks yesterday's high, the trade might work. Stop Loss: 5%.
Crowdstrike ($$(CRWD)$) is consolidating under the SMA200 and it seems there is some interest in the company in the last two days (see the volumes). ATR declining. A breakout above the black line might work. Stop Loss: 5%.
ZoomInfo ($$(ZI)$) seems the buyers and sellers shake hands since there is no volatility now, ATR declining, low volumes. If the price is above the black line, the long position might work. Stop Loss at EMA21.
