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 1: 24830 Resistance Level 2: 24950 Resistance Level 3: 25055 Support Level 1: 24412 Support Level 2: 24300 Support Level 3: 24190 This communication is for informational purposes only and should not be viewed as any form of recommendation as to a particular course of action or as investment advice.

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.

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.

USNAS100 – New All-Time High as Tech Headlines Fuel MomentumUSNAS100 – Overview The Nasdaq 100 recorded a new all-time high (ATH) near 24,820, extending its bullish run as markets continue to digest upbeat tech headlines. Investor sentiment remains supported by Nvidia’s plan to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI, with the first data-center gear expected in 2026, and by anticipation of September flash PMIs, which will test U.S. economic resilience amid tariffs and ongoing Fed commentary. Bullish Scenario The index maintains strong bullish momentum while trading above the 24,780 – 24,710 pivot zone. Targets: A sustained move above current highs could drive price toward 24,900 → 25,045. An hourly close above 24,900 would reinforce upside momentum, potentially opening the way to fresh highs beyond 25,045 if tech sentiment strengthens. Bearish Scenario A confirmed 1H close below 24,710 would signal the start of a corrective move. Targets: 24,570 → 24,460, with deeper losses possible if profit-taking accelerates after recent ATHs. Key Levels Pivot Zone: 24,780 – 24,710 Resistance: 24,900 – 25,045 Support: 24,570 – 24,470

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.

Positioning for a government shutdown: gold, Nasdaq 100, EURUSDUnless Congress can reach an agreement before 1 October, the federal government will shut down. The last major shutdown, during President Trump’s first term, lasted 34 days. Markets are already weighing the risks of plummeting confidence in the US and its currency and disruptions to the release of important economic data. For traders, this can create volatility and opportunity across major asset classes. Gold Gold often benefits from political and fiscal uncertainty. If a shutdown occurs, safe-haven flows could push the metal higher. Nasdaq 100 The Nasdaq 100 has been sensitive to swings in sentiment around government stability and interest rate expectations. A shutdown could amplify volatility. Traders should be mindful of potential gap moves at the weekly open if negotiations falter over the weekend. EUR/USD A shutdown that undermines confidence in U.S. fiscal management could weigh on the EUR/USD in the short term. However, Europe faces its own economic issues, potentially keeping the pair range-bound for now.

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.

NASDAQ - setting up for Bearish SetupLooking for the bearish signal or the H4/Daily time frame, might get that final push for the D extension on the weekly timeframe, opening of the week might get a small pullback then continuation to the upside. Trade will be validated only if we get bearish PA setup on the H4/Daily. Looking for the setup to create a turn shape then can look for potential entries. If price does not present a bearish setup on the H4/Daily then the plan is no longer valid.
