Nas100 opens the week with explosive strength4H Technical Zone Analysis
Zone 1 (25,570 – 25,586): Today’s Low / Asia Session Open
This zone marks where price opened during the Asia session today after a sharp weekend gap to the upside. The fact that price held this area cleanly suggests that buyers immediately stepped in to defend the breakout, confirming it as a short-term demand zone. As long as price remains above Zone 1, intraday momentum stays firmly bullish, and any retest here could attract further buying interest.
Zone 2 (25,411 – 25,427): Last Week’s All-Time High
This zone represents last week’s all-time high, now turned into support after the breakout. The strong impulse above this level indicates that what was once a major resistance has now flipped into a structural base for the new leg higher. If the market revisits Zone 2, it will serve as a key test of buyer strength and validation of the breakout’s sustainability. Holding this zone will reinforce bullish market structure, while a clean break below could expose the unfilled gap beneath.
Market Gap – What It Means
Between Friday’s close and today’s open, price created a large upside gap, reflecting aggressive post-market buying and strong bullish sentiment carried into the new week. Such gaps often occur when new information — in this case, easing trade tensions and continued strength in tech earnings, triggers a rush of buy orders before the regular session begins.
However, gaps of this size also leave “thin liquidity zones” below, areas where price moved so fast that few transactions took place. These can act like magnets for future price action, as markets often “fill the gap” later to establish balance. In other words, while the gap confirms bullish momentum, traders should remain aware that it could eventually retrace to retest lower liquidity levels before resuming higher.
Today's sentiment
The Nas100 ended last week on a strong note as optimism returned following constructive U.S.–China trade talks in Malaysia. U.S. Treasury officials described the discussions as “productive,” easing fears of renewed escalation and boosting risk appetite. Strong earnings from major tech and semiconductor firms, including TSMC, further supported sentiment, reinforcing the view that AI and digital infrastructure remain bright spots amid global uncertainty.
Heading into the new week, the tone is cautiously optimistic: the market is supported by tech strength and improved trade relations, but with valuations near record highs and limited macro data due to the U.S. government shutdown, investors remain alert to any sudden shifts in tone or headlines.
