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.
Trade ideas
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.

Pressure’s buildin’ on NAS100—could pop any minute.Hey Guys,
Once NAS100 hits my SELL zone, I’m pulling the trigger—targeting 24557.06
• Entry: 24752.05 or 24703.29
Set the stop point according to your own margin, my friends.
Every like you drop pushes me to share more setups like this. Big thanks to everyone showing support!
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.

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.
NASDAQ (US100) - ShortNasdaq (US100) currently trading at 24662.
We reached a high at 24767 and from there got a rejection. Multiple reasons here now for a continuation to the down side.
Entry: In rising channel at current levels.
Stop Loss: 24702
T1: 24418
T2: 24072
I'm expecting to see a break of this rising channel soon, may get some retest of the upper line till then which are great entry points.
No trading advise, just my opinion. Have fun.
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.
👉 Do you expect US100 to hit 24,600 this week, or will bulls defend the zone? Share your thoughts below.
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.
NAS100USD Technical AnalysisThe NAS100 has been in a strong bullish structure, creating higher highs and higher lows. After recently tapping 24,800.0 resistance, price rejected and is now pulling back toward the 24,583.1 area, which is acting as short-term support.
Support at: 24,583.1 🔽 / 24,393.3 🔽 / 24,099.2 🔽
Resistance at: 24,800.0 🔼
🔎 Bias:
🔼 Bullish: If buyers defend 24,583.1 and push price back toward 24,800.0, a breakout could open the way for continuation higher.
🔽 Bearish: A clean break below 24,583.1 exposes 24,393.3, and failure there could invite a deeper correction toward 24,099.2.
📛 Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. Trade at your own risk.
NAS100Scenario 1: If, after taking that liquidity, the price returns to 24,722.00, we could find a support area there from which the market may continue its upward move.
Scenario 2: If that previously mentioned zone doesn’t hold, the price could retrace back to the origin of the impulse, and then continue structurally without significantly compromising the underlying level (Flip Zone Box).
👉 In both cases, the targets remain those boxes above.
