Nas100 Correction: Why a Drop Below 20K is LikelySince reaching its recent all-time high of 22,232, the PEPPERSTONE:NAS100 has dropped 1,000 points. While this might seem like a significant decline, it actually represents less than a 5% correction—hardly a major pullback. This drop has brought the index into a key confluence support zone, raising the common question: Is the correction over? In my opinion, it’s not. For a healthy correction, a dip below 20,000 is necessary. Technical Perspective 🔹 Since the "bullish" event marked by Trump’s election, the index hasn’t made substantial progress. While it has technically risen, the gains have been marginal, suggesting more distribution than true bullish strength. 🔹 The index remains confined within a large rising wedge, as seen on the chart. This type of structure often signals topping and potential reversal rather than sustainable upside momentum. What’s Next? In the medium term, I expect a drop below 20,000. For traders looking to speculatively trade the Nas100, potential sell zones would be around 22,000 and 23,000— in the event of a new all-time high.

USNAS100 Drops 500 Pip–Bearish Momentum Extends Below Key LevelsUSNAS100 Analysis – February 25, 2025 📉 Bearish Momentum Extends Below Key Levels USNAS100 has continued its downward trend as we anticipated in our previous idea , dropping 500 pip after failing to hold above 21,900. The price has now broken key support levels, confirming further bearish pressure. 🔻 Bearish Scenario: As long as the price remains below 21,390, the downward momentum is likely to extend toward 21,166, with further downside targets at 20,987 and 20,667. A 4H close below 21,166 would accelerate the sell-off. 📈 Bullish Recovery: A potential rebound above 21,390 could lead to consolidation within the 21,390 - 21,807 range. However, a confirmed bullish breakout requires price stabilization above 21,807 for further upside movement. 📊 Key Levels to Watch: 🔹 Resistance: 21,390 | 21,807 | 22,100 🔹 Support: 21,166 | 20,987 | 20,667 📉 Directional Bias: The bearish trend remains active, with further declines expected unless 21,390 is reclaimed. A breakdown below 21,166 would reinforce downside pressure.

USTEC index- A tradeable high probabilty setup formingHello, USTEC, also known as the US Tech 100 or NASDAQ 100, is a widely traded stock index in the forex market. It tracks the performance of the top 100 non-financial technology-driven companies listed on the NASDAQ exchange, including major players from sectors such as information technology, healthcare, consumer discretionary, and telecommunications. Currently, the index is in a corrective phase, setting up a high-probability buying opportunity. From a technical standpoint, we anticipate USTEC will approach the moving average, aligning with the lower boundary of the corrective pattern. Once this level is reached, we will seek confirmation through the MACD zero crossover—a strong bullish signal indicating an optimal entry for a move back to the top. Additionally, upcoming tariff policies in the US could act as a catalyst, pushing prices toward our ideal entry zone.

NASDAQ 100 Short continuation or Start of next Bull Leg? 1. Top-Down Bias • Weekly (Long-Term) • Bias: Still in a primary uptrend (higher highs & higher lows, trading above key SMAs and the Ichimoku Cloud). • Current Pressure: Latest weekly candle shows a sharp pullback; momentum indicators (MACD, RSI) are rolling over from positive territory. • Daily (Intermediate) • Bias: Turned short-term bearish (clearly below daily Ichimoku Cloud, 10/50/100-day SMAs; lower highs & lower lows formed). • Key Pivot: 200-day SMA (~20,272). A sustained break below strengthens the intermediate downtrend; a defense of this level may spark a bounce. • 4H & 2H (Short-Term & Intraday) • Bias: Both are firmly bearish with a sequence of lower highs and lower lows, supported by high ADX and negative momentum readings. • Oversold Conditions: RSI and Stochastics are near oversold on lower timeframes, hinting at possible short-term bounces within a broader downtrend. Net Takeaway: • Long-term (Weekly) remains bullish. • Intermediate to short-term (Daily/4H/2H) is currently bearish. • Expect potential downward continuation unless the market reclaims key daily/4H resistance levels (around 21,000–21,200). 2. Key Levels & Confluences 1. Support Zones • Weekly/Daily Major Support: • 20,300–19,800 region: Aligns with the 200-day SMA (~20,272), 50% Fibonacci (~19,800), and previous bullish order blocks. • 19,500–19,200 area: Next layer of institutional demand if the 20k handle fails. • Deeper Weekly Support: 17,600–16,000 (if the sell-off becomes more pronounced). 2. Resistance Zones • Daily/4H Supply & Bearish Order Blocks: • 21,000–21,200: Confluence of broken support-turned-resistance, daily Ichimoku Cloud lower boundary, multiple SMAs overhead. • 22,000–22,200: Higher-timeframe supply zone where previous rallies failed. 3. Fibonacci Confluence • From the Weekly Swing (~17,378 low to ~22,206 high): • 38.2% (~20,362) near current price. • 50% (~19,796) is a critical deeper support. • Daily Extensions: If below 20,272, watch potential extension toward 1.618 (~19,475). 4. Trend Lines / Channels • Ascending Weekly Channel: Still intact overall, but price is testing lower bounds. • Broken Daily/4H Channel: Price has slipped beneath shorter-term ascending channels, reinforcing the current correction. 3. Scenario 1 (Bullish Continuation / Bounce) Despite the short-term downtrend, there is a chance that the weekly uptrend reasserts itself if price stabilizes above major support (particularly near the 200-day SMA or 19,800–20,300). Here’s how different risk appetites might approach a bullish scenario: 3.1 Narrative • Why Bullish? The weekly structure remains intact, and momentum oscillators (RSI, Stochastics) on lower timeframes are oversold. If price holds the 200-day SMA (~20,272) or the broader 19,800–20,300 demand zone, a relief rally could ensue—potentially aligning back with the higher-timeframe uptrend. 3.2 Aggressive / High-Risk Bullish Approach 1. Where/When to Enter • Look for early signals on 2H/4H near 20,300–20,500 (if tested and shows a bullish engulfing or strong volume spike). • Could also enter on a quick intraday bounce off 20,200–20,300 (if price wicks into that zone). 2. Stop-Loss Placement • Tight stop just below the most recent intraday swing low (e.g., below 20,200 or 20,100), giving minimal room for volatility. 3. Confirmation Level • Minimal confirmation: Possibly only a bullish candlestick pattern or a short-term RSI cross back above 30–35 (showing a slight momentum shift). 4. Pros & Cons • Pros: Best potential reward if you catch the exact turning point. • Cons: Higher chance of false break or whipsaw if price continues downward. 5. Target Levels & Profit Objectives • T1: ~20,900–21,000 (overhead Fib confluence + broken support). • T2: ~21,600–21,700 (daily middle Bollinger Band / cluster of SMAs). • Partial take-profit at T1; consider moving stop to break-even and aiming for T2 if momentum continues. 6. Invalidation • A decisive 4H close below 20,000 or the 200-day SMA being lost on a daily close with no immediate rebound. 3.3 Moderate-Risk Bullish Approach 1. Entry Conditions • Wait for a 4H candle close above a minor resistance or pivot (e.g., reclaiming 20,700–20,800). • Look for a bullish MACD cross or RSI returning above 40–45 on the 4H. 2. Stop-Loss Placement • Slightly below the newly formed higher low (once price confirms an upward pivot)—for instance, below ~20,400 if that level becomes an intraday support again. 3. Pros & Cons • Pros: Reduces the likelihood of entering on a dead-cat bounce. • Cons: Potentially misses the lowest entry if price rebounds sharply from 20,300. 4. Target Levels & Profit Objectives • T1: ~21,000–21,200 (near daily Ichimoku bottom/cloud edge). • T2: ~21,700–22,000 (upper daily Bollinger / major daily supply). • Scale out at T1 or tighten stop-loss; let the rest run if momentum persists. 5. Invalidation • A return below the 4H pivot or a break under ~20,300 after you’ve entered. 3.4 Conservative / Low-Risk Bullish Approach 1. Entry Conditions • Require a Daily close back above key resistance or the Ichimoku Cloud bottom (~21,200). • Multiple indicators aligned bullishly: RSI > 50 on 4H/Daily, MACD crossing positive, etc. 2. Stop-Loss Placement • Below the reclaimed pivot on the daily timeframe—e.g., below ~20,700–20,800 region—or beneath the 200-day SMA if you want an even wider stop. 3. Pros & Cons • Pros: Higher probability that the correction has ended. Fewer false signals. • Cons: Entering significantly higher reduces your initial risk/reward ratio. 4. Target Levels & Profit Objectives • T1: ~21,700–22,000. • T2: Retest of the most recent swing high around 22,200–22,400. • Could move stop to break-even after T1. 5. Invalidation • A Daily close back below ~20,700 or failing to hold the 200-day SMA on subsequent retests. 4. Scenario 2 (Bearish Reversal / Deeper Correction) Should the short-term downtrend continue, or if weekly support fails near 20k, the path of least resistance is lower. Below are approaches for different risk appetites. 4.1 Narrative • Why Bearish? Daily/4H/2H structure is decidedly bearish. If the 200-day SMA (~20,272) and nearby support (20,000–20,300) give way or fail to spark a sustained bounce, price could accelerate downward toward 19,800–19,500 or even lower. 4.2 Aggressive / High-Risk Bearish Approach 1. Entry Conditions • Short on minor bounces/retests of intraday resistance (e.g., 20,700–20,800) with minimal confirmation. • Possibly enter when 2H/4H candles show a quick rejection of the descending trend line or when RSI ticks back up to ~40 but fails to break higher. 2. Stop-Loss Placement • Tight stop just above the local swing high (e.g., above 20,900 or a short-term pivot). 3. Pros & Cons • Pros: Potentially large reward if price continues to drop swiftly. • Cons: Higher false-break risk if a sudden short-covering rally occurs. 4. Target Levels & Profit Objectives • T1: ~20,000–19,800 (major daily support, near 200-day SMA or Fib zone). • T2: ~19,500 or even 19,200 if momentum accelerates. • Consider partial profit at T1; let the remainder ride if the breakdown continues. 5. Invalidation • A sustained 4H close above 20,900–21,000 indicates short-term momentum shifting against you. 4.3 Moderate-Risk Bearish Approach 1. Entry Conditions • Wait for a 4H candle close below 20,400 or 20,300, confirming a new leg down. • Check that RSI remains < 50, MACD is negative, and no immediate bullish divergence. 2. Stop-Loss Placement • Above the retest zone near the breakdown point (~20,400–20,500), giving some room for volatility spikes. 3. Pros & Cons • Pros: Avoids jumping in on whipsaws; the downtrend is confirmed by a fresh breakdown. • Cons: May miss a portion of the initial move if price collapses quickly through 20,300. 4. Target Levels & Profit Objectives • T1: 19,800–19,500 range. • T2: 19,200 or lower, depending on volume flow and broader daily momentum. • Move stops to break-even after T1 if momentum continues. 5. Invalidation • A 4H close back above the breakdown level (~20,400–20,500) or a bullish crossover in MACD that breaks the downward structure. 4.4 Conservative / Low-Risk Bearish Approach 1. Entry Conditions • Wait for a Daily close below the 200-day SMA (~20,272) and/or sub-20k, plus a retest of that broken support that fails. • Indicators (RSI < 50, MACD negative) across Daily and 4H confirm sustained bearish control. 2. Stop-Loss Placement • Above the well-defined structural daily high (e.g., near 20,700–20,800) or above any retest zone. 3. Pros & Cons • Pros: High probability the trend is continuing downward without a sudden reversal. • Cons: You may enter significantly lower, reducing R:R if the biggest chunk of the move has already happened. 4. Target Levels & Profit Objectives • T1: ~19,500–19,200. • T2: If the weekly structure fully shifts, possibly mid- to upper-18k or even 17k in extreme scenarios. • Consider partial TP at T1, trailing the remainder for further downside. 5. Invalidation • A Daily close back above 20,400–20,500 or the 200-day SMA, negating the breakdown. 5. Risk Management & Position Sizing Guidelines 1. Volatility Awareness (ATR) • 4H ATR (~180) and Daily ATR (~379) indicate elevated volatility. If you choose tighter stops, consider reducing position size accordingly. • Alternatively, widen stops to accommodate swings, but reduce overall leverage to keep risk consistent (e.g., risk 1–2% of account). 2. Reward-to-Risk Ratios • Aim for at least 1:2 or better. • If uncertain about the next directional move, trade smaller or wait for confirmation. 3. Timeframe Alignment • When the Weekly and Daily align (bullish or bearish), you can consider a larger position size. • Currently, Weekly is bullish while Daily is bearish, so either trade smaller or adopt intraday strategies until clarity emerges. 4. Partial Profit Strategies • Scale out at T1 (first target) and trail your stop to break-even or near the entry. • Let the remainder run to T2 if momentum continues in your favor. 6. Extra Notes / Contradictions • Weekly vs. Intraday Mismatch: • The long-term chart is still bullish, yet daily/intraday charts are in a firm downtrend. Some traders may opt to only short intraday rallies until price reclaims key daily levels that align with the weekly uptrend. • News & Macro Catalysts: • Any significant economic releases or global risk events could abruptly shift technical setups. Be mindful of volatility spikes. • Ranging vs. Trending: • If the market churns sideways near 20,300–20,700, you might see multiple false breaks. Use higher-timeframe closes for clarity or reduce trade size if in doubt. 7. Final Summary 1. Top-Down Bias • Weekly: Bullish overall but momentum is fading. • Daily & Below: Bearish structure, with oversold indicators that might spark a short-term bounce. 2. Key Levels & Confluences • Support: 20,300–20,000 (incl. 200-day SMA), then 19,800–19,500. • Resistance: 20,700–21,000 for intraday bounces; 21,200–22,000 from daily order blocks. 3. Scenario 1 (Bullish): • Aggressive: Enter near 20,300–20,400 with minimal confirmation. Tight stops just below 20,200. • Moderate: Wait for a 4H close above 20,700–20,800. Stop below the higher low. • Conservative: A daily close above ~21,200 plus aligned indicators. Stop below the reclaimed pivot. 4. Scenario 2 (Bearish): • Aggressive: Short near 20,700–20,800 intraday bounces. Tight stop above swing high. • Moderate: Wait for a 4H close below 20,300–20,400. Stop above the retest zone. • Conservative: A daily close below the 200-day SMA and a failed retest. Stop above a daily pivot. 5. Risk Management: • Control position size based on ATR; keep R:R ≥ 1:2; consider scaling out at T1 and protecting capital. 6. Extra Notes / Contradictions: • A short-term bounce can occur at any time due to oversold indicators. Weekly remains structurally bullish, so watch for strong buying interest near 20k or 19.8k. Bottom line: The market is in a higher-timeframe uptrend but an active short-term correction. Traders can play a potential bounce off key support (Bullish Scenario) or join the short-term downtrend on rallies/fresh breakdowns (Bearish Scenario). As always, maintain disciplined stop-losses, manage position size relative to volatility, and let the market confirm your directional bias before committing significant capital. Disclaimer: This framework focuses on potential probabilities and technical triggers. No outcome is guaranteed; always adjust trade size and stops according to personal risk tolerance.

NASDAQ 100 Feb 27th Below are some general, educational ideas on how traders often approach markets under conditions like these. This is not financial advice—simply a high‐level look at potential strategies, risk‐management considerations, and scenarios based on the previous technical report. Always do your own due diligence and consider professional advice for your specific situation. 1. Short‐Term “Oversold Bounce” Play • Rationale: On the Daily and 4H charts, the RSI/Stochastics and Bollinger Bands all suggest near‐term oversold conditions. When a market is oversold, a relief bounce often occurs—even within a downtrend. • Possible Approach: 1. Entry: Some traders will look for intraday bullish signals (a strong reversal candle, bullish divergence on lower timeframes, or a break/retest of minor resistance) around the 20,200–20,500 zone. 2. Targets: Potential short‐term rebound levels near: • 21,000 (initial pivot/confluence of 4H Fib & round number) • 21,300–21,400 (Daily Ichimoku or 4H cloud base, stronger overhead supply) 3. Stop‐Loss / Invalidation: • Placed below the recent swing low (~20,500) or below the 200‐day SMA (~20,264). If price definitively breaks those on a closing basis, it can signal that the bounce attempt is failing. • Risk: If the market continues sharply lower, oversold can remain oversold. A deeper flush is possible if we lose key supports. 2. “Sell the Rally” Within a Short‐Term Downtrend • Rationale: The Daily and 4H structures are in a confirmed short‐term downtrend (lower highs/lower lows). Traders who believe the market has further to fall might look to short near overhead resistance. • Possible Approach: 1. Entry: Wait for a bounce into known resistance or Fib retracement zones on the 4H or Daily chart: • ~21,000–21,100 (minor) • ~21,300–21,400 (major supply area / daily cloud) 2. Confirmation: Look for bearish candlestick patterns, a failed retest, or negative divergences on short timeframes to signal rally exhaustion. 3. Targets: Could be fresh lows below ~20,500 or deeper daily/weekly support at ~19,500–20,000. 4. Stop‐Loss / Invalidation: A sustained close above the daily Ichimoku cloud or prior pivot highs (~21,400–21,500) would indicate the short‐term trend shift might be reversing back bullish. • Risk: A strong short‐covering rally can quickly stop out short positions if the broader weekly uptrend reasserts itself. 3. Longer‐Term Positioning Near Key Weekly Support • Rationale: The monthly and weekly charts remain in a long‐term uptrend. Some position traders/investors view pullbacks into major weekly levels as potential accumulation zones. • Possible Approach: 1. Key Level: ~19,500–19,600 is the last major weekly swing low. If price ever re‐tests that zone, it’s a critical decision area. 2. Confirmation: Wait for a weekly bullish reversal candle (e.g., a hammer, bullish engulfing) or a break back above the 10‐week SMA. 3. Stop‐Loss / Invalidation: A weekly close below ~19,500 could signal a deeper structural breakdown. 4. Targets: Over the longer horizon, a rebound from weekly support might aim for retests of all‐time highs or upper monthly fib extensions (e.g., 24,000+). • Risk: If the weekly uptrend fails and breaks below ~19,500, it can cascade into a more pronounced corrective phase. 4. Hedge or Manage Existing Long Positions • Rationale: If you’ve been holding longer‐term bullish positions, you might want to hedge part of it during a short‐term downswing. • Possible Approach: • Options: Buying puts or put spreads to limit downside risk or selling covered calls to collect premium if you expect sideways to down movement. • Futures: Small short futures/CFD positions to offset some exposure. • Risk: Over‐hedging can cut into upside gains if the market rebounds strongly. 5. Patience / Sidelines • Rationale: If the technical picture is uncertain—and you don’t have a strong directional edge—sitting on the sidelines and observing is a perfectly valid play. You can wait for more clarity or for the market to confirm a reversal/breakdown before committing capital. • Risk: Missing out on a sudden reversal or failing to catch the next leg if it rebounds quickly. But if uncertainty is high, waiting for a clearer signal can preserve capital. General Guidelines & Risk Management 1. Align With Your Timeframe: • Short‐term scalps (4H or lower) require tight stops and nimble trading. • Swing trades might look to daily/weekly structure for bigger moves. 2. Watch Volatility: • ATR on daily/4H has risen. Expect larger intraday swings; position size accordingly. 3. Use Stop‐Losses: • The market has shown it can move quickly in either direction lately. Protective stops or mental exit levels are crucial. 4. Monitor Macro Drivers: • Economic data, interest rate shifts, or major earnings releases can override technical signals short term. 5. Be Prepared for Whipsaw: • When multiple timeframes conflict (monthly/weekly bullish vs. daily/4H bearish), the market can give false breaks or frequent direction changes. Disclaimer: This outline is for educational purposes only, reflecting common approaches traders might take. It does not constitute financial advice. Always consider your own objectives, risk tolerance, and potentially consult a financial professional when making investment decisions.

NAS100 at Key Support – Bullish Rebound Ahead?PEPPERSTONE:NAS100 is currently testing a major demand zone, which has previously acted as strong support. The recent bearish move has brought price into this key area, increasing the probability of a potential bullish reversal. If buyers step in and defend this zone, we could see a bounce toward the 21,655 level, aligning with a short-term recovery from the current dip. However, a break and close below this support zone would invalidate the bullish bias and could lead to further declines. Traders should look for bullish confirmation signals such as rejection wicks, bullish engulfing candles, or a shift in momentum before considering long positions. Do you agree with this analysis?

Is NASDAQ Losing Steam? A Reality Check for TradersHey Realistic Traders, Is CAPITALCOM:US100 Out of Steam? Let’s Dive Into the Analysis… On the daily timeframe, the Nasdaq remains above the EMA-100, which has served as strong support through multiple successful rebounds. Simultaneously, the price has moved above the bullish trendline, reinforcing the ongoing uptrend. Within wave 4, the price formed a falling wedge pattern, followed by a breakout. This signals the initiation of wave 5, which could potentially extend beyond the length of wave 1, given that wave 3 did not exceed the 1.618 Fibonacci ratio. Meanwhile, the MACD indicator has already formed a bullish crossover, adding further confirmation of a positive outlook for the Nasdaq. Considering these strong technical signals, the price is likely to move upward toward the first target at 23,538 , or potentially the second target at 24,356. However, this bullish scenario depends on the price staying above the critical stop-loss level at 20,833.

NAS100 Breakout Setup – Yesterday’s High & LowChart & Levels: Buy Stop: Placed at the previous day’s high (see the green line on the chart). Sell Stop: Placed at the previous day’s low (red line on the chart). Idea & Rationale: I’m using a simple breakout strategy that allows price action to confirm direction before I commit. If NAS100 breaks above yesterday’s high, I’ll go long, expecting bullish momentum. If it drops below yesterday’s low, I’ll go short, anticipating further downside. Trade Management: Stop Loss: Use recent swing highs/lows or an ATR-based buffer to avoid getting wicked out. Take Profit: Aim for a minimum 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio, adjusting as the market evolves. Position Size: Maintain proper risk management; only risk a small percentage of your account on each trade. Why This Setup? Clarity: Using the previous day’s high/low is a straightforward way to spot potential breakouts. Volatility Capture: NAS100 often makes sizable moves around session opens (especially NY). This setup attempts to catch the momentum. Risk Control: Waiting for a breakout confirmation helps reduce false entries in choppy markets. Key Notes: Watch out for major news events (economic releases, tech sector earnings) that could trigger sharp moves. Keep an eye on the overall market sentiment; if there’s a strong risk-on or risk-off environment, that can impact NAS100 direction.

Price may continue to decline, wait for market rebound and entry(The following is solely a personal opinion and not investment advice. Please conduct your own analysis before making any decisions.) NVIDIA's earnings report exceeded expectations, yet the market saw a sharp decline on Thursday. The price broke below 20,800, indicating weakening bullish momentum and the potential for further downside. Given the significant drop in price, it would be prudent to wait for a market rebound before considering short positions. I will closely monitor price action in the 21,300–21,481 range.

US Tech 100 Volatility Alert Ahead of the Nvidia Earnings UpdateUS equity markets are starting to show some strain. On Monday, the US Tech 100 dropped 1.2%, bringing the decline since Friday to around 3.5%. The main catalyst seemed to be a reduction in long positioning in some key Magnificent Seven stocks ahead of AI bellwether Nvidia’s quarterly earnings update that is due out after the market close on Wednesday. These results are likely to be an important influence on sentiment towards the US Tech 100 across the rest of the week. Adding further emphasis is the fact that these are the first set of earnings from the company since Chinese start up DeepSeek emerged as a potential major disruptor in the AI space. Traders and investors are likely to be keen to gain insight into what impact, if any, this has had on the company’s ability to deliver on future revenue expectations. However, this may be only part of the story for the recent performance of technology stocks. President Trump and his team indicated on Monday that they are drawing up tougher versions of the current semiconductor restrictions in place on exports to China. They also stated that they have encouraged allies to do the same, in the latest attempt by the US to limit China’s ability to increase its technological progress. It seems that President Trump’s trade and tariff policies may be starting to increase volatility in US stock markets again after a brief respite since the start of February. Technical trends and reactions in price to potential support and resistance levels may also influence the direction of the Nasdaq 100 moving forward across the week. Technical Update: Support Pressured Ahead of Nvidia An important focus this week for the technology sector could be the Nvidia earnings, but even before this potentially important driver of future price trends, the US Tech 100 index has started to see price weakness emerge. The index does appear to be testing some potentially interesting support levels. How these levels are defended on a closing basis, into and after the Nvidia earnings, may provide an important insight into where the US Tech 100 may move next. Having posted a new intra-day all-time price high of 22226 on February 18th, the US Tech 100 index has seen selling pressure develop, a move that meant early February strength has failed to close above the previous 22142 December 16th all-time high. An inability of buyers to overcome such an important upside extreme on a closing basis especially if it is then followed by price declines, may suggest increased potential for a sentiment change, one that could even lead to further weakness. However, for this to happen, support levels must be broken on a closing basis to see this downside potential develop further. Looking at the above chart of the US Tech 100 index, the latest price weakness has now seen what might have been viewed as a potential support, marked by the Bollinger mid-average give way, which currently stands at 21694. While this is no guarantee of an extended phase of price weakness, Monday’s closing break under support marked by the February 10th low at 21344, may also indicate risks of a more extended phase of price weakness. If this is the case, price activity may move down towards 20477, which is the January 13th extreme and if this support was broken, declines could potentially move towards 20326, which is the 38% Fibonacci retracement of August/ December 2024 strength. What About Resistance? As we have said, reaction to Nvidia earnings may see increased price volatility, potentially even renewed upside, and traders must build that possibility into their trading strategy over coming sessions. With that in mind, what are the resistance levels that if broken might lead to a further phase of price strength? Initially traders might be focusing on the interim resistance marked by the mid-average, which currently stands at 21694. Closes above here, may lead to the suggestion that lower support levels are holding, which may open the potential for fresh strength to higher levels. While in the longer term, it may be the resistance marked by the February 18th all-time high at 22226 that needs to give way to suggest further price strength.
