NASDAQ in no action zone. Buy break-out or pull-back.Nasdaq (NDX) has been trading within a 4-month Channel Up and its most recent low has been on its 4H MA100 (green trend-line) 2 days ago.
As long as it holds, it maintains the short-term bullish trend but a confirmed buy signal would be after the price breaks above its previous 24800 High.
Until it does, it might be within a technical Bearish Leg similar to late August's and mid June's that both broke below the 4H MA100 before bottoming on the Higher Lows trend-line of the Channel Up and rebounded. The 4H RSI Lower Highs structure shows that we might be on such a pull-back sequence, which turns into a buy below 33.00 (RSI).
As a result, we will either wait for a 24800 break-out or a 1D MA50 (black trend-line) pull-back before initiating a buy again. In both cases, our Target is 25500 (just below the 2.0 Fibonacci extension).

USATEC trade ideas
NASDAQ Channel Up found support and aims for 25600.Nasdaq (NDX) has been trading within a Channel Up since the August 28 High and on Friday it tested its 1H MA100 (green trend-line) again and rebounded. That has been a bullish continuation signal within this pattern every time a 1H MA50/ 100 takes place.
On the previous Bullish Leg that confirmed the upside continuation all the way to the 2.382 Fibonacci extension before a 1H MA50/ 100 Bearish Cross and new Low.
As a result, the current short-term Target on Nasdaq is 25600.

NAS100 Long Idea: Bullish Retest of Flipped SupportHello TradingView Community,
This is a technical analysis of a potential long opportunity on the US 100 Cash CFD (NAS100) on the 15-minute timeframe.
Technical Analysis:
The index is currently in a clear uptrend, as indicated by the series of higher highs and higher lows. We can identify a key horizontal level at approximately 24,413.4. This level previously acted as a significant resistance point, where the price was rejected multiple times.
Recently, the price has successfully broken out above this resistance and is now pulling back to retest it from above. This is a classic "resistance-turned-support" pattern, which often suggests that buyers are stepping in to defend the new support level, leading to a potential continuation of the uptrend.
Trade Setup:
The long position tool on the chart outlines a potential trade plan based on this bullish scenario:
Entry: Approximately 24,413.4 (at the retest of the new support).
Stop Loss: 24,170.3 (placed below the support structure to invalidate the idea if the level fails to hold).
Take Profit: 25,156.5 (targeting a new higher high in the current trend).
This setup provides a structured plan with a favorable risk-to-reward ratio for a potential move higher.
Disclaimer: This analysis is for educational and discussion purposes only and should not be considered as financial advice. Trading CFDs and indices involves a high level of risk. Please conduct your own research and manage your risk appropriately.
BUY EVERY BIG TECH, BUY AND HOLD UNTIL OCTOBERBuy the pivot level. hold for the last 7-month bull run until October 2025.
Price and time cycles suggest that price will peak in October 2025 and a second swing high in March 2026 for the midcycle correction. We would look for the top at 26k
Buy every big tech, buy the major stocks, buy, buy......
The 7-month cycle from March to October 2025 will be the second largest swing within the 5-year bull run from 2020 crash low
Trade safe, good luck.

NAS100 Long Idea: Bullish Break and Retest ScenarioHello TradingView Community,
This is a technical analysis of a potential long opportunity on the US 100 Cash CFD (NAS100) on the 15-minute timeframe.
Technical Analysis:
The chart is displaying a bullish structure. We can identify a key horizontal level at approximately 24,410.03. This level previously acted as a ceiling, providing significant resistance to the price.
Recently, the market has shown strong momentum by breaking out above this resistance zone. This breakout suggests that buyers are in control. The trading idea is based on the expectation of a "break and retest" pattern, where the price pulls back to this former resistance level, confirms it as new support, and then continues its upward trajectory.
Trade Setup:
The long position tool on the chart outlines a potential trade plan based on this bullish outlook:
Entry: Approximately 24,410.03 (at the retest of the new support level).
Stop Loss: 24,117.96 (placed below the support structure to allow for some volatility and to invalidate the idea if the level fails).
Take Profit: 25,299.42 (targeting a new higher high, continuing the bullish trend).
This setup provides a structured plan with a clear risk-to-reward ratio for a potential move higher.

ALERT: VIX-NDX COVARIANCE HITS DANGER ZONEA few days ago, my custom VIX–Price Covariance Monitor started flashing red... and it hasn’t cooled off since.
Here’s what that means 👇
- The TVC:VIX (volatility index) and NASDAQ:NDX (Nasdaq 100) are now moving in the same direction.
That’s not normal.
Usually, when stocks rise, volatility falls.
But when both start climbing together — it means something under the surface is fracturing.
Half the times this correlation flips positive, the market corrects or worse, it crashes.
I’m not panic‑selling, but I’m definitely not buying either for now.
No new longs unless it’s a screaming opportunity.
In the meantime? Stacking cash and sitting tight.
This is time to play close attention to the market,
US100: Bullish Momentum Pauses at Resistance4H Technical Outlook
All-Time High Barrier
The all-time high overhead is a clear psychological resistance. Chasing longs directly into this level is not attractive from a risk/reward perspective. Only a confirmed breakout and acceptance above would open “uncharted territory” and establish fresh bullish momentum.
Zone 1: Overhead Supply / Yesterday’s High
This area marks an immediate supply pocket, coinciding with yesterday’s high. Price action has shown hesitation here, and buyers are struggling to establish acceptance above. As long as price remains capped under this zone, it serves as a short-term sell area. A clean breakout and consolidation above would invalidate the supply and potentially trigger continuation toward the all-time high at 24,754.
Zone 2: Key Intraday Demand / Yesterday’s Low
This zone represents the first meaningful demand layer below spot price. Yesterday’s low aligns with intraday consolidation, making it a pivot area where responsive buyers could step back in. If bulls defend this zone, it may form the base for another push higher. A decisive break below, however, would shift near-term control back to sellers and expose deeper liquidity pockets.
Zone 3: High-Impact Demand Area (4H structure)
This is a more significant demand zone where aggressive buyers previously absorbed heavy selling and initiated the latest upward leg. If tested again, it could attract strong dip-buying interest. Failure to hold this zone would represent a structural breakdown on the 4H chart and likely accelerate downside momentum toward lower liquidity pools.
The sentiment around the Nasdaq100 is cautious and slightly bearish at the moment. Macro risks dominate the narrative, with the looming U.S. government shutdown creating uncertainty and threatening to delay key economic data releases. At the same time, consumer confidence has weakened, signaling softer demand ahead, while interest rate policy remains uncertain.
On the positive side, the tech and AI boom continues to provide structural support, but valuations are stretched, and many traders are positioning defensively. Technically, the index is consolidating below resistance, with support levels in focus.
Overall, the market remains supported by long-term growth themes, but near-term sentiment is clouded by macro headwinds and the risk of a deeper pullback.
US 100 Index – Upside Momentum to be Put to the TestThe US 100 registered its first down week of September when it closed at 24507 last Friday, a weekly loss of 0.4%. Hardly a collapse but a warning that no market moves in a straight line, especially one so sensitive to many of the key drivers that traders are focused on, namely AI and Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate moves.
It seems that last week’s dip may have been driven by some profit taking into the end of what has been a strong third quarter performance for this technology heavy index (8%, July 1st to September 26th). That drop has already been unwound by yesterday’s 0.4% rally which has continued this morning to current levels around 24640 (0730 BST), as traders’ position for some key economic data on the US labour market, which could clear up whether the Fed has room to cut interest rates again when they meet next on October 29th.
While there is a US labour market data release scheduled for every day across the remainder of this week, the focus could be Friday’s Payrolls update, where traders are anticipating a modest gain of around 39k and the unemployment rate to remain at its current level of 4.3%. Any deviation from these expectations could impact the market’s pricing of around a 90% chance of an October Fed rate cut, and a 60% chance of another December rate cut, with knock on implications for the direction of the US 100 at the start of Q4.
One obstacle impacting Friday’s Payrolls could be the possibility for a US Federal government shutdown from October 1st, which could delay the release of the labour market data, creating an extra level of uncertainty into the end of the week. Congressional leaders met with President Trump at the White House yesterday and talks to avoid a shutdown are on-going, although the latest updates provided by Vice President Vance suggests that a funding agreement is still some way off.
It may be worthwhile monitoring progress on this throughout the day ahead, just in case an agreement isn’t reached, and it leads to some extra US 100 volatility.
Technical Update: Price Decline Finding Support
Price corrections are a natural part of a broader uptrend and often reflect a healthy reaction to recent upside extremes. Following last week’s sell-off in the US 100 index, traders may now be assessing whether the latest weakness is simply a limited pullback ahead of renewed attempts to extend what still appears to be a constructive trend, or the beginning of a more extended price decline.
While it’s impossible to confirm whether a renewed phase of strength is underway, last week’s initial weakness found support at lower levels. As the chart above shows, fresh upside attempts may now be emerging, suggesting the possibility of a resumption of the uptrend pattern.
While positive sentiment may still be evident, this week’s upcoming data releases could prove pivotal, with the potential to shift momentum and drive notable price moves across key assets and traders will be watching closely for confirmation, or disruption, of the current US 100 index trend.
As a result, it may be important to identify and then monitor key support and resistance levels in case an increased spell of volatility emerges.
Potential Support Levels:
As the chart below shows, the latest price strength seen on Monday and into this morning, appears to be emerging from an initial support zone between 24211 and 24103. This range is marked by both the rising Bollinger mid-average and the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of September’s advance.
A closing break below these levels wouldn’t confirm a downside shift but could pave the way for a test of 23891, the 50% retracement, and possibly even extend towards 23679, which is the 61.8% level.
Potential Resistance Levels:
After marking a new all-time high at 24795 on September 22nd, traders may now be monitoring this level as the initial resistance focus this week.
If the positive trend does remain, fresh attempts at price strength are possible. It could be worthwhile monitoring how the 24795 all-time high is defended on a closing basis, with successful breaks higher potentially leading to a further phase of price strength.
While a closing break above 24795 doesn’t guarantee further upside, it could trigger fresh attempts to push first towards 24971, the 100% Fibonacci extension, and potentially up to 25347, the 138.2% extension level.

Beyond the Chart - NAS100 Through Technicals & FundamentalsCAPITALCOM:US100 The trendline I drew on the lower timeframe yesterday worked perfectly, and price is still respecting it. We did see a break, but right after that, a Bearish FVG and a Breaker Block formed. This trendline will remain my pilot line for analysis.
NASDAQ Daily Analysis 📊
On the daily chart, the FVG formed on Sep 15th has been revisited, but price couldn't hold in this zone and was quickly rejected. The trendline I've drawn is still active and guiding the move.
⚡️Volatility note: Daily volatility is starting to compress (blue print on my model), meaning the next breakout move could expand strongly. If price breaks above the trendline with momentum, buyers may look beyond 24,650 toward 24,720–24,800 before reevaluating. If rejection holds, compressed volatility could fuel an accelerated drop into the 24,520 → 24,440 FVG zone, and possibly 24,300.
🦖 If a bullish candle closes back above the trendline, I’ll be looking at 24,650 as a buy trigger. A confirmed break here could open the door toward 24,720 → 24,780 liquidity levels.
🐼 If sellers keep control below the trend, downside targets remain at the FVGs around 24,520 → 24,440, and potentially 24,300 (Discount PD Array).
⚡️ Bottom line:
Today’s US data (Chicago PMI, JOLTS, Consumer Confidence) + multiple FOMC speeches will likely decide direction.
📉 Hot data or hawkish tone → sellers push deeper.
📈 Softer numbers or dovish Fed comments → bulls may retest higher levels.
Shutdown risk, Investors eye Jobs DataShutdown risk, Investors eye Jobs Data
U.S. stock index futures slipped on 30 September as investors awaited key labor reports and braced for possible delays in economic data due to a looming government shutdown. The risk-off shift follows Monday’s equity gains, with analysts warning this standoff could be more disruptive given the fragile economic backdrop.
Markets are focused on the Labor Department’s JOLTS report and consumer confidence data, while several Fed officials are set to speak. Earnings season and potential price hikes from companies will also draw attention as Q4 begins, historically a supportive period for stocks.
Budget negotiations remain deadlocked in Washington, raising the likelihood of a shutdown that could stall government services and key data releases. Wall Street futures eased from record highs, Treasury yields edged lower, and the dollar softened, while the yen and Aussie dollar gained.
