Analysis based on Session Volume POC clusters and HVN methodology
US100 M30 – Sideway at the Top - Short OpportunityThe CAPITALCOM:US100 index has experienced a strong upward move on the 30-minute chart, pushing price to a new high around the 24,800 – 24,850 zone. However, recently, price has been moving sideways within a narrow range, forming a consolidation phase near this key resistance area. This sideways action signals a potential short-term correction or trend reversal.
📉Technical Analysis:
Current Sideways Zone: Price is consolidating between approximately 24,800 and 24,850, repeatedly testing this resistance but failing to break through decisively.
Key Support Level: The 24,650 – 24,700 zone is acting as critical support, holding price during this consolidation.
Support Break Signal: A close below the 24,650 – 24,700 support range would confirm the start of a downtrend and signal a likely bearish move.
📊 Trading Plan
Sell on Support Break: If price closes below the 24,650 – 24,700 support zone, consider entering a short position targeting the next strong support area near 24,400 – 24,350 .
Sell on Retest of Sideways Zone:
After breaking support, if price pulls back to retest the sideways zone (24,800 – 24,850) and shows bearish rejection signals (e.g., pin bar, bearish engulfing), this provides a good opportunity to enter or add to short positions.
⚠️Risk Management:
Stop-loss: Place above the sideways resistance area, around 24,860 – 24,870 , to avoid false breakouts.
Take profit: Consider partial profit-taking near 24,650 – 24,700 and final targets around 24,400 – 24,350.
Wait for Confirmation: Avoid entering trades without clear support breaks or bearish rejection signals to minimize risk.

Nas100: Trading Levels in FocusKey Zones in Play
Zone 1 – Yesterday’s High:
Yesterday’s high represents the level where buyers lost momentum and sellers stepped in. If price revisits this zone, traders should expect potential supply pressure. A clean break and sustained hold above would signal renewed strength and could re-ignite bullish momentum.
Zone 2 – Yesterday’s Low:
This zone is the lower boundary of the previous session and now acts as short-term support. Buyers may defend this level to maintain structure, but its reliability is limited given the fresh all-time high environment and lack of historical confirmation. A decisive break below would weaken the bullish case and could invite deeper retracement.
Conclusion:
With US100 trading close to record highs, these zones provide useful guidelines, but they should not be treated as precise buy or sell triggers. In uncharted territory, reactions are often more volatile, making it essential to treat these levels as reference points rather than absolute decision zones.
Morning Sentiment Brief
Market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic. The recent Fed rate cut and ongoing enthusiasm around AI investments continue to underpin a bullish narrative, keeping the US100 near record highs. However, Powell’s cautious tone this week, stressing data-dependence and warning about stretched equity valuations, has cooled some of the initial euphoria.
Traders are now balancing optimism with prudence. Tech momentum is intact, but profit-taking and sector rotation show that conviction is more selective. Political and regulatory headlines add another layer of uncertainty, leaving the market more sensitive to incoming catalysts. Overall, the bias stays positive, but participants are trading with more caution as the index moves in uncharted territory.
Beyond the Chart - NAS100 Through Technicals & FundamentalsNAS100 has just completed its move into the Discount PD Array zone I highlighted yesterday. On the 1H timeframe, I pointed out the prevailing bearish trend and marked this area as a key target. Once price tapped the zone, sellers lost momentum and buyers stepped in, shifting market control.
Now we’re seeing an inverse Z formation, with a Fair Value Gap (FVG) and a Breaker Block (BB) cutting across the structure. If buyers step in again, as they did in the earlier PD Array, my upside target will be 24,580.
NAS100 H4 | Bullish momentum to extend?NAS100 is falling towards the buy entry at 24,368.82, which is a pullback support that aligns with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement and could bounce from this level to the upside.
Stop loss is at 23,991.90, which is an overlap support.
Take profit is at 24,087.48, which aligns with the 78.6% Fibonacci projection and the 161.8% Fibonacci extension.

Set the stop point according to your own margin, my friends.

NAS100 Outlook: Recent rise has been steady!Market context on NAS100 remains bullish clearly. The most recent move saw a steady recovery, heading towards the upper boundary of the newly projected channel. And this right here is another great opportunity to get involved.
The market is likely in the early stages of a new impulsive leg to the upside right here.
We could also have short-term consolidation or pullback, then a continuation toward the upper boundary but I believe the latter is more plausible.
My target will be at 25,100.
NAS100 Technical Breakdown | Bearish Play in MotionWe're currently observing a strong 1H bearish imbalance (FVG) rejection zone that aligns perfectly with the recent 15m resistance block, leading to a swift rejection in price.
Price action has respected the HTF liquidity zones and is now following through on the anticipated drop towards 1H Support 📉.
The confluence of the descending momentum, HTFL levels, and FVG fill strengthens the case for continued bearish movement in the short term.
📌 Key Levels to Watch:
Resistance Zone: 24,940 – 24,975
Mid Support: 24,793 – 24,780
Major Support: 24,712 – 24,699 (potential liquidity sweep zone)
⚠️ Watch for reaction at the trendline and lower HTFL levels – they may offer a potential bounce or continuation setup depending on the momentum.
🧠 Trade Smart: Wait for confirmation before entering. Don't chase – let price come to your levels.

USNAS100 – Powell Caution Keeps Nasdaq in Tight RangeUSNAS100 – Overview
Futures tied to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq edged slightly higher on Wednesday as investors weighed measured comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell and looked ahead to key U.S. economic data later this week.
Powell acknowledged that asset prices appear highly valued, while maintaining a cautious tone on the labor market. He avoided taking sides between Fed officials calling for deeper cuts to support jobs and those urging restraint to avoid inflation risks, emphasizing instead the delicate balancing act between growth and price stability.
📊 Technical View
The Nasdaq100 is showing range-bound price action, with consolidation likely to continue until a clear breakout occurs.
Bearish Scenario:
Price is expected to test the resistance zone around 24,810 before pulling back toward 24,560.
🔻 A confirmed 15-min close below 24,560 would expose deeper supports at 24,380 → 24,140.
Bullish Scenario:
A decisive break above 24,900 would invalidate the bearish setup and open the way toward 25,040.
An hourly close above 24,900 would confirm renewed bullish momentum.
Key Levels
Pivot: 24,660
Resistance: 24,810 – 24,900 – 25,050
Support: 24,560 – 24,380 – 24,150
Nasdaq slipped as investors balanced Fed signalsThe Nasdaq 100 (-0.87%) fell as tech stocks weakened. Uncertainty around Nvidia’s $100bn OpenAI deal led the reversal after Monday’s gains.
Powell’s comments added to caution: he repeated that risks remain on both inflation and jobs, but also admitted to “meaningful weakness” in the labour market. This helped bonds rally, but not equities.
Extra pressure came from US government shutdown concerns, while gold hit a record high ($3,764/oz) as investors shifted to a defensive.
Tech momentum cooled, and the Nasdaq slipped as investors balanced Fed signals, policy risks, and stretched valuations.
Key Support and Resistance Levels

Resistance Level 2: 24950
Resistance Level 3: 25055

US100 Trend Watch – Critical LevelsUS100 Update
On the low time frame, US100 is consolidating around the 24,603 – 24,655 zone after rejecting higher levels.
Key levels:
24,655 – 24,603 → short-term resistance zone. A breakout and hold above would confirm bullish continuation.
24,158 → main trend support. As long as this level holds, the broader bullish structure remains intact.
Upside scenario: If price breaks and sustains above 24,655, momentum could extend further to test 25,000+.
Downside risk: If price falls below 24,603 and especially under 24,158, risk increases for a deeper pullback toward 23,800 – 23,400.
📌 Summary
Above 24,655 → bullish continuation toward new highs.
Hold above 24,158 → uptrend structure remains safe.
Below 24,158 → deeper correction risk, next support at 23,400.

US100 – Bearish Pressure Below 24,768 | Targeting 24,600US100 is showing downside momentum after rejecting the 24,768 zone.
Bears are pushing price lower, with immediate support seen at 24,700.
A clean break below this level could extend the move toward 24,600, which is my near-term target.
If buyers manage to defend 24,700, a short-term bounce is possible, but overall sentiment remains weak.

US100 BULLISH CONTINUATION IDEAWe’re currently on a strong bullish trend! We are continuing to long this pair till it get to all time high price of 25500 that’s our overall buy target. Opt in for a buy and take advantage of this opportunity!
Beyond the Chart - NAS100 Through Technicals & Fundamentals📉 NAS100 VANTAGE:NAS100
Short Bias Analysis (1H Chart)
The market recently formed a Higher High (HH) followed by a Break of Structure (BOS) to the downside, suggesting a potential bearish shift. This move left behind multiple Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), now acting as supply zones.
Key Points
• Liquidity grab above the HH, followed by strong bearish momentum.
• Two FVGs aligning with short bias.
• Current retracement into inefficiencies offers a potential short entry.
• Downside targets: Discount PD Array and lower FVGs (24,480–24,440).
Trade Idea
• Entry Zone: 24,700–24,750 (upper FVG)
• Stop Loss (SL): Above 24,800 (invalidates bearish idea)
• Take Profit 1 (TP1): 24,560
• Take Profit 2 (TP2): 24,440
Risk management remains key 🔑 if price closes above the upper FVG/BB zone, short bias is invalidated.
NAS100 rising wedge breakdown short setup The NAS100 recently broke down from a rising wedge formation on the 1H chart, signaling potential bearish momentum. After failing to hold above 24,700, price rejected the upper channel and is now trading below the wedge support.
Here’s my thought process:
• Pattern: Rising wedge, a bearish reversal pattern.
• Rejection Zone: Price failed at 24,705 resistance, confirming sellers stepped in.
• Breakdown Confirmation: A clean break below wedge support increases bearish bias.
