Nasdaq 100 - Institutions sell their assets at a record pace!

After the bear market rally, the Nasdaq 100 index made a new low in tandem with our expectations. Currently, the price of the Nasdaq 100 index exhibits rounding on the hourly chart. We will pay close attention to this development and volume levels, especially as it gets closer to the FOMC. Further, we expect the FED to worsen the economic situation, eventually culminating in a stronger selloff. Ahead of the FOMC and throughout it, we will seek declining volume accompanying the rising price of NQ1!. That will be a bearish sign of a faltering rally (in today's price). Overall, we maintain a bearish outlook on the Nasdaq 100 index. Our new price target for NQ1! is 11 250 USD and 11 000 USD. Our new price target for QQQ is 275 USD and 270 USD.

Fundamental factors
News outlets report that institutions are selling their assets at a record pace. Today, the FED is likely to raise interest rates by 75-100 bps. If it proceeds with 100bps, then that would be the biggest rate hike since the 1990s. We expect this to weigh on the economy and drag it lower. Additionally, we expect the same from the reduction of the FED's balance sheet.
