NAS100 trade ideas
Central bank week ahead!Central bank week ahead! We've got interest rate decisions out from the Bank of Canada, FED, Bank of England and Bank of Japan.
BoC 17/09 - 25bps cut 94% - First on the chopping board is the BoC who are set to reduce interest rates by 0.25%. This comes amid steady inflation, holding below the 2% target and below recent expectations for an increase, currently at 1.9%. They've also seen unemployment rising to 7.1%, the highest level since 2021. The BoC has acknowledged the weakening labour market but are expected to follow a wait and see approach after todays cut. Current rates 2.75%
FED 17/09 - 25bps cut 98% - The FED's first rate decision after some very rocky labour market data and a surprise dovish tilt from Powell at Jackson Hole. Inflation remains sticky but the FED has stated that their current focus is set on labour market weakness. As well as the rates, we will also receive updated economic and interest rate projections, likely to carry much more weighting and longer term direction. In the economic projections we'll be looking out for the dot plot, GDP, employment and inflation to gauge future expectations for FED rates. This could undermine or support the rate cuts to trade with caution. Current rates 4.25-4.50%
BoE 18/09 - HOLD 100% - The BoE is set to hold rates steady at 4.00% amid elevated inflation data and recently positive labour market data. Inflation data came in lower than consensus earlier this week but still remains well above target at 3.8%. In the previous BoE meeting we saw a surprise hawkish tilt in the way of MPC voting.
2 members shifted from voting to cut to voting for a hold and the scales are expected to remain fairly heavy on the hold side tomorrow. The member voting and minutes will provide much needed context to the potential hold to come. Current rates 4.00%
BoJ 19/09 - HOLD 87% - Rounding a busy week off with the BoJ who is set to hold rates at 0.50%. There has been some hawkish comments from the BoJ in recent times as inflation holds around 3.1% and unemployment recovers from 2.5% to 2.3% but amid political turbulence a bold move from the BoJ in this decision is less likely. However the other potential would be for a surprise rate hike with a current probability of 11%. The BoJ is no stranger to surprises so will be looking out for any action or comments made to support future JPY strength or weakness. Current rates 0.50%
These fresh rates provide the opportunity for divergences between monetary policy. This could park the continuation higher for pairs such as EURUSD and GBPUSD if the fed sticks to a more dovish tilt and supports this in their economic projections.
Other currency pairs such as AUDCAD and AUDNZD provide some clear divergence with the RBA holding higher rates and the BoC and RBNZ cutting with lower rates. Any clear pullbacks within these assets could provide opportunity to get long and hold through for a bigger move
US100 Hits All-Time HighUS100 Hits All-Time High
Yesterday, US100 reached a new record high at 24040, confirming the strength of its bullish trend.
With U.S. inflation cooling, the market is now expecting the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, possibly starting this cycle and continuing in the months ahead.
Lower rates tend to support stocks and indices, giving the economy room to breathe after a long period of tight monetary policy.
I expect US100 to continue rising toward 24500, with intermediate targets at 24250 and 24500 in the coming week.

USNAS100 Holds Below 24,115 as Fed Rate Decision LoomsUSNAS100 – Overview
Markets are awaiting the upcoming Federal Reserve rate decision, which will set the tone for the next move:
A 50 bps cut would likely trigger strong bullish momentum.
A 25 bps cut may result in a more moderate reaction.
📉 Bearish scenario: For now, the Nasdaq shows bearish momentum while trading below 24,115, with downside targets at 23,935 → 23,870 → 23,700.
📈 Bullish scenario: A confirmed 1H close above 24,115 would shift bias bullish, opening the way to 24,245 → 24,350.
Key Levels
Pivot: 24,115
Resistance: 24,245 – 24,350
Support: 23,940 – 23,870 – 23,700
Futures steady ahead of Fed cutFutures steady ahead of Fed cut
U.S. stock futures held flat on August 15 ahead of the Sept. 17–18 Fed meeting, where a 25-bps cut is widely expected. Markets price about 70 bps of easing by year-end, though Powell may highlight inflation risks to temper dovish bets. Retail sales Tuesday will be the last key data before the decision.
Global markets were subdued: oil ticked higher on Ukraine-Russia tensions, the dollar eased, and Asian stocks firmed with South Korea’s Kospi hitting records. The Bank of Canada may also cut this week, while the BoE and BoJ are likely to stay on hold.
Traders are watching today’s Empire State manufacturing survey (8:30 AM EDT), the Senate vote on Fed nominee Stephen Miran, speeches from ECB’s Lagarde and Schnabel, and EU Council President Costa’s visit to Cyprus ahead of its 2026 presidency.
US 100 Index – Assessing a Crucial Week for Tech StocksAs a trader it can be helpful to spend some time on a Sunday afternoon sitting at your trading desk gathering your thoughts and preparing for the week ahead. Checking the Pepperstone economic calendar to assess the scheduled risk events in terms of timing and importance can be a useful part of this process. This upcoming week is quite impressive, packed with central bank meetings and economic data that could impact many, if not all, of the major markets available to trade on the Pepperstone platform.
The standout event could be the Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate announcement on Wednesday at 1900 BST, which is followed closely by the press conference led by Chairman Powell, which starts at 1930 BST. However, Thursday’s Bank of England interest rate decision at 1200 BST, or Friday’s Bank of Japan interest rate decision due at 0400 BST, and then the press conference led by Governor Ueda may also keep traders on volatility alert.
The US 100 index is the focus of today’s commentary as it can be more sensitive than other indices to interest rate moves made by the Fed.
As can be seen on the daily Pepperstone chart above, the US 100 index has experienced a period of higher highs and higher lows since the 2025 low was hit way back at 16290 on April 7th, helped in no small part by a re-engagement of traders with the potential of artificial intelligence and what it could mean for the future earnings of the leading companies in this space. This AI driver is still in very much in play but may take a backseat this week due to the Federal Reserve rate decision.
Since the surprise weaker than expected US employment report on August 1st (Non-farm payrolls) market expectations for Fed rate cuts have increased, helping to support the latest US 100 uptrend from its August 1st lows at 22678 to print numerous record closing highs, the latest being Friday at 24096.
For the Fed interest rate decision on Wednesday, a 25bps (0.25%) cut is fully priced by traders, but there is a small outside chance of a 50bps (0.5%) cut, a decision which, if it happened, could generate equal amounts of uncertainty that policy makers feel they could be behind the curve in supporting the economy and that the labour market is weakening faster than anticipated, but also surprise that the Fed may be willing to cut rates faster, which as a general rule can be supportive of US100 index gains.
The press conference may also be a relevant consideration for US 100 price volatility. Traders will be keen to hear Chairman Powell’s stance on the possibility for further rate cuts, with economists predicting just one more 25bps cut into the end of 2025, while the market is pricing another 2 25bps reductions. Any comments he makes on the independence of the US central bank, with an appeal court ruling expected imminently on whether President Trump has the authority to sack Fed Governor Cook, as well as his thoughts on the deterioration of the US labour markets and direction of inflation could also be important.
Technical Update: New All-Time Highs Posted
After reaching a new all-time high of 24142 on Friday, the market continues to show signs of a positive trend, which has been evident since the low of 16290 recorded on April 7th.
As the chart above shows, the market has formed a pattern of higher highs and higher lows. While this doesn’t guarantee that prices will continue to rise, the recent new peak suggests there might be further upward momentum ahead.
Although positive sentiment appears to remain in place, this week’s upcoming data releases and interest rate decision could significantly impact price movements.
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 Resistance Levels:
Following the recording of the latest all-time high at 24142 on Friday, traders may be anticipating continued attempts at upward momentum to extend the current uptrend.
The outlook suggests that further attempts to push toward the next resistance levels could emerge in the coming week.
With the US 100 index now entering uncharted territory, traders may be turning their attention to Fibonacci extension levels based on the August 13th to 20th sell-off. The 38.2% extension is at 24368, and if this level is breached, the next potential resistance could be 24607, the 61.8% extension.
Potential Support Levels:
The US 100 recently closed back above the rising Bollinger mid-average, currently at 23606, and so this level could act as the first initial support for the week. If retested, it may be important to monitor whether the market can hold above it on a closing basis.
A closing break below 23606 wouldn’t necessarily signal a negative shift, but it could open the door for a test of 22970, which is the low from August 20th, and potentially lower if that level fails to hold.

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.

Your childhood goes everything against TRADING!🌱 Growing up vs. Trading
As kids, life drilled one thing into us: WIN, WIN, WIN.
Walk and talk fast – WIN
Get top grades – WIN
Buy the best cars & houses – WIN
Land the dream job & make big money – WIN
👉 Losing? Not even on the table.
But then comes TRADING… and the rules flip.
Here, you actually need to LOSE to WIN.
Small losses = stepping stones to bigger gains.
Consistency + persistence = long-term success.
🔥 The New Rule of Trading
Accept losses – they’re part of the game.
Cut them quick – protect your capital.
Learn from each one – losses = tuition fees for success.
Think of it like a board game…
Every time you “lose a turn,” you’re not failing – you’re moving closer to the BIG win.
Sounds backwards? That’s the paradox that makes trading magical.
⚡ We Weren’t Raised to Take Risks
As kids: “Play it safe!”
As traders: “Embrace risk – but make it calculated.”
Here’s the secret sauce:
Know your risk tolerance – maybe 0.5%–2% per trade.
Diversify – never stack all your eggs in one basket.
Use stop losses – cut risk, lock in gains, stay alive in the game.
🧠 Trading = A Whole New Mindset
Not about avoiding losses but managing them.
Not about avoiding risks but embracing calculated ones.
Not about ego but strategy, patience, and persistence.
💡 Final Word
Trading humbles us.
We shed the ego.
We lose battles but win wars.
We stay consistent.
We accept the small hits… because they’re the price we pay for the BIG victories.
👉 Love your losses. Respect them.
Because every small “L” is one step closer to your biggest “W.”

Nas100 Trading ZonesZone 1 – Shallow Overhead Supply
This area has acted as resistance, but with limited data at all-time highs, its reliability is questionable. Sellers may step in here, yet it should be treated as a soft reference point rather than a strong supply zone. Any breakout could easily invalidate it.
Zone 2 – Fragile Support / Momentum Pivot
This level has shown price reactions, but lacks the characteristics of a strong buy zone. It’s better viewed as a short-term pivot area. If broken, it could attract further selling pressure, but traders should avoid relying on it as solid support.
Zone 3 – Yesterday’s Low / Liquidity Pocket
Yesterday’s low provides a natural liquidity zone where buyers may attempt to step in. Still, the strength of this level is limited. Reactions may be sharp but unstable, and a clean break lower could fuel further downside momentum.
The sharp pullback in the Nas100 yesterday looks to be driven by profit-taking after the Fed’s rate cut, combined with Powell’s cautious tone on inflation and growth. With the index trading at record highs, volatility was elevated and many traders used the news as an opportunity to lock in gains. For now, the move appears more like a healthy correction within an uptrend, but key support zones will need to hold to prevent a deeper reversal.
