Nas100 opens the week with explosive strength4H Technical Zone Analysis
Zone 1 (25,570 โ 25,586): Todayโs 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 โ 25,427): Last Weekโs All-Time High
This zone represents last weekโs 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 breakoutโs sustainability. Holding this zone will reinforce bullish market structure, while a clean break below could expose the unfilled gap beneath.
Market Gap โ What It Means
Between Fridayโs close and todayโs 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 โ 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 โthin liquidity zonesโ below, areas where price moved so fast that few transactions took place. These can act like magnets for future price action, as markets often โfill the gapโ 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.โChina trade talks in Malaysia. U.S. Treasury officials described the discussions as โproductive,โ 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.
NAS100 | Bullish Momentum ExpectedBased on the H4 chart analysis, we could see the price fall to the buy entry at 25,196.55, which is a pullbakc support that lines up with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement and could bounce from this level to the upside.
Stop loss is at 24,926.57, which is a pullback support that is slightly below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement.
Take profit is at 25,626.70, which aligns with the 161.8% Fibonacci extension.

Pullback ideaNasdaq is at the trendline, channel and RSI resistances at the moment. We have 1D divergence on RSI, but no 4h divergence yet. Good pullbacks usually start with 4h divergence on NAS100 / 2h divergence on NDX, so it will probably go a little higher.
If it's going to form an ending diagonal, one more small pullback and one more wave up should appear, which will produce 4h divergence.
2.618 fib level from August 13 peak to low is at 25600 on NAS100 and at 25590 on NDX - maybe it will reach it, maybe not.
US 100 Upside Breakout โ Target in SightUS 100 has broken above key resistance at 25,074, confirming a bullish breakout. Price is now at 25,508, supported by VWAP and 5 EMA. Momentum favors buyers, with the 1st target near 27,000, expected to be reached in the upcoming week if trend strength continues. Ideal entry on pullbacks or bullish continuation candles. Place stop-loss below breakout zone at 24,800 to manage risk. Watch for volume confirmation and sustained price action. This setup offers a short-term opportunity for swing traders aiming to ride the breakout wave.

๐ ELLIOTT WAVE & STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS ๐
From the daily chart perspective, NAS100 shows completion of Wave 4 correction around 25,100-25,200 support zone. Current positioning at 25,373.7 suggests early Wave 5 development with bullish impulse structure emerging. The 4H timeframe confirms impulsive uptrend with higher highs and higher lowsโclassic Elliott Wave signature for institutional accumulation phase.
๐ก KEY INSIGHT: If 25,900-26,050 resistance breaks decisively on 4H close with volume confirmation, we target Wave 5 extension toward 26,400-26,800 range through mid-week.

NAS100 Why I'm Watching for a Countertrend Short on US100The NASDAQ (US100) has pushed aggressively into fresh all-time highs, tapping into a key liquidity zone where buy-side liquidity sits above previous swing highs. ๐๐ง
Price has extended without any meaningful pullback, suggesting we may soon see exhaustion and a corrective move. As we approach the end of the week, institutional traders often rebalance or close positions, which can trigger short-term retracements. ๐ฆ๐
If price breaks structure to the downside, Iโll be watching for a counterโ

NASDAQ 100 (NDX)-The Grand Super Cycle Journey๐ง The Grand Super Cycle Journey of NASDAQ 100 (NDX)
Here's a comprehensive, narrative-style description of NASDAQ 100 (NDX) INDEX based on Elliott Wave Theory , Smart Money Concepts (SMC) , Fibonacci Retracements/Extensions , Price Action , and Fundamentals across Super Cycle , Macro , and Micro Waves ๐๐:
๐ฑ Super Cycle Wave 1: The Birth of Tech (1986โ2000)
The journey begins with Wave 1 , ignited by the early tech boom โ Microsoft, Intel, and the rise of Silicon Valley ๐. This impulsive leg spans over a decade, culminating in the dot-com bubble peak in 2000.
๐น Smart Money Insight: Early accumulation started in the '80s, followed by massive markup into the 1990s. Retail entered late, leading to the euphoric climax in 2000.
๐น Price Action: Parabolic rallies, breakouts through historical resistance, ending in a massive overextension.
๐น Fundamentals: Era of growth, innovation, low inflation, and initial internet adoption.
๐ช๏ธ Super Cycle Wave 2: The Great Correction (2000โ2009)
The bursting of the dot-com bubble triggered a complex correction labeled as W-X-Y. This 9-year structure ends in the 2008โ09 financial crisis low. The market retraced to the 0.382 Fibonacci level , a classic deep correction in a strong long-term bull market.

๐ Micro Waves: A clean 5-wave impulse showing the early stages of structural strength.
๐ Price Action: Break of structure (BoS) confirms bullish reversal.
๐ฆ Fundamentals: QE1/QE2, low interest rates, tech stabilization, birth of FAANG era ๐ป.
๐ Smart Money: Institutions started accumulating in late 2009โ2010, reflected in tight consolidations and sharp rallies.
๐ Macro Wave 2 (2012)
A brief and shallow correction within the bullish context โ a classic bullish flag in terms of price action. Quickly ended with higher lows.
๐ง SMC: Short manipulation phase to shake weak hands.
๐ Price Action: Pullback respected prior structure โ no trend break.
๐ฅ Macro Wave 3 (2012โ2021)
This was the largest and most explosive wave , extending over 9 years and forming 5 purple micro waves.
๐ฃ Micro Waves: Clean impulsive structure, confirming a classic Elliott wave fractal.
๐ก Fundamentals:
Rise of cloud computing
Mobile-first economy
AI, semiconductors, and social media explosion
COVID-19 crash and rebound โ the fastest recovery in history
๐น Fibonacci: No deep retracements โ sign of a healthy, powerful wave 3.
๐ง Smart Money: Deep accumulation during COVID crash โ massive expansion post-March 2020 ๐.
๐งฑ Macro Wave 4 (2021โ2022)
A healthy correction that reset the structure โ completed around the 2022 low. This wave maintained market structure integrity.
๐ป SMC: Liquidity sweep of previous lows + mitigation of demand zones.
๐ Price Action: Range-bound, bearish to neutral.
๐ Macro Headwinds:
Interest rate hikes
Inflation fears
Global instability (Russia-Ukraine, energy crisis)
๐งฌ Macro Wave 5 (2022โ2029) โ Now Unfolding*
This is the final thrust of the Super Cycle Wave 3 , subdivided into 5 micro waves (current count in progress):
๐ธ Micro Wave 1 โ
Initial rally from 2022 lows, showing strong impulsive behavior.
๐ง Smart Money: Confirmed shift from reaccumulation to expansion.
๐ธ Micro Wave 2 โ
Pullback formed higher low โ acted as final reaccumulation.
๐ด Micro Wave 3 โ In Process (2025โ2026)
This is expected to be the strongest wave within Macro Wave 5, projected to peak near 36,000 (2.618 extension of micro 1โ2).
๐ Price Action: Aggressive higher highs and shallow pullbacks.
๐ง SMC: Expansion with little liquidity left below โ institutions pushing price up.
๐ก Fundamentals:
AI hypergrowth
US tech dominance
AI chips, quantum computing, tokenization
Renewed bullish risk appetite ๐
๐ Micro Wave 4 (Expected 2026โ2027)
A corrective wave likely to retest the macro structure โ forming a flag or triangle.
๐ Price Action: Sideways to downward chop, retracing 0.382โ0.5 of wave 3.
๐ง SMC: Inducement setup before final rally.
๐ Macro: Possible geopolitical or monetary tightening phase.
๐ต Micro Wave 5 (Expected Top in 2029)
The final leg of Macro Wave 5 and Super Cycle Wave 3. Expected to top near 85,000 , a 2.618% Fibonacci extension of Super Cycle Waves 1โ2.
๐ฏ Final Parabolic Blow-Off
๐ Price Action: Euphoria, exponential rally, low-volume melt-up
๐ Smart Money: Final distribution phase โ retail FOMO peaks
๐งจ Fundamentals: Mania phase โ โeverything AI/metaverse/tokenizedโ narrative, record valuations, IPO booms.
๐ฎ Looking Beyond: Super Cycle Wave 4 (Post-2029)
Once the 85K target is met, a multi-year correction is expected โ possibly deep and drawn out. Historically, Wave 4s retrace 0.236% to 0.382% and take years to unfold.
๐ง Expect:
Systemic debt pressure
Currency shifts
Economic reset themes
Potential Fed policy overcorrection
Liquidity crunch
๐ง๏ธ Super Cycle Wave 4 may retest previous demand zones around 30โ36K.
๐ Final Thoughts
Our analysis represents an extraordinary blend of Elliott Wave fractals , institutional behavior (SMC) , and macro-fundamental alignment . We are in the late phase of a historical Super Cycle rally โ but Wave 3 still has room to run ๐.
โ
Wave Count Aligned
โ
Fibonacci Extensions Respected
โ
SMC Structure Intact

NSDQ100 ahead of US CPI Geopolitics dominated sentiment over the past 24 hours, setting the tone for todayโs NASDAQ 100 session.
Market backdrop:
Fresh US sanctions on Russian oil sparked a surge in energy prices, with Brent crude posting its largest two-day gain since 2022. The move drove a sell-off in global bonds, as 10yr US Treasury yields rose +5.1bps, their biggest daily increase in over a month, ahead of the long-delayed September CPI report.
Despite the rise in yields, equities held firm, buoyed by improved risk appetite. The NASDAQ 100 gained +0.58%, supported by renewed optimism in the tech sector and positive sentiment following the White House confirmation of a TrumpโXi meeting next week, which helped temper trade war concerns.
Drivers for today:
US CPI (September) โ the first major data point since the government shutdown. A softer print could reinforce expectations of a Fed rate cut next week, while a stronger reading risks unsettling both bonds and high-valuation tech names.
Geopolitical dynamics โ Markets remain sensitive to any new developments in the USโChina trade narrative and Russia sanctions, which continue to drive energy and inflation expectations.
Tech sentiment โ Optimism in large-cap tech remains supportive, though rising yields could limit upside momentum.
Commodities:
Gold is on track to end its nine-week rally, down over 3% this week as investors rotate out of safe havens amid hopes of easing geopolitical tensions.
Outlook:
The NASDAQ 100 enters the session on firmer footing, with risk appetite improving thanks to trade optimism. However, volatility is likely around the CPI release, which will be the key determinant for near-term Fed policy and tech sector performance.

USTEC rebounds on trade optimism. Potential for further gains?USTEC rose as confirmation of the TrumpโXi meeting lifted sentiment and offset mixed corporate earnings. Tesla (TSLA) rebounded despite uneven results, while IBM (IBM) slipped on softer software revenue. However, the company's broader performance remained resilient, with strong demand in AI and automation services driving solid growth in its infrastructure and hybrid cloud segments. Investors remain cautious ahead of the TrumpโXi meeting, with sentiment hinging on upcoming policy signals and trade developments.
From a technical perspective, USTEC rebounded from the ascending channel's lower bound and support at 24000. A break above the 25200 resistance may prompt further upside toward the channel's upper bound and 78.6% Fibonacci Extension at 26000. Conversely, a bearish breakout of the channel and a close below 24000 may prompt a further decline toward the following support at 23000.
