Nasdaq 100 (US100) – Short Opportunity Still AliveThe Nasdaq is still showing weakness at it's current level. There’s been more than enough time and news to push this market higher – but nothing happened. That, in itself, is a strong signal. What we’re seeing now: Weak jobs data: ADP and JOLTS both came in soft. Job openings hit the lowest level in nearly a year. That boosted rate-cut hopes – but the Nasdaq didn’t move. Tech underperformance: Broader markets found some strength, but tech keeps lagging behind. Nasdaq isn’t leading like it used to – that’s bearish. China IPO risks: New Nasdaq restrictions on Chinese listings are adding pressure to overall tech sentiment. No follow-through: Even with dovish expectations and weak macro, bulls can’t lift the index. That says a lot. Trade Setup (based on the chart): Entry: between 23,480 and 23,520 Stop Loss: above 23,600 or if not high leverage even 23,720 Targets: T1: 23,250 T2: 23,000 T3: will update depending on momentum Why this short still makes sense: The Nasdaq had multiple bullish triggers – weak data, Fed expectations, soft dollar – and didn’t move. Sentiment is shaky, buyers aren’t stepping in. Tech remains heavy while other sectors rotate. Price is stalling right at resistance after a weak bounce. Summary: Plenty of chances to break out – but nothing happened. That’s a red flag. I’m shorting between 23,480 and 23,520, with targets at 23,250 and 23,000. Setup is invalid if we break cleanly above 23,720. No financial advice – just how I see the chart right now.

Potential Buy Zone for NAS100Trade what you see and not what you feel. This is what I see. There is a demand zone on 15 min which has not been balanced. There is also another demand zone below that one on 1hr time frame that has also not been balanced. Will wait for the market to retrace to the demand zone and if I get proper indications of going long on smaller TF I will take the long. I have a feeling though that the market might go to the lower demand zone because there is a potential formation of a H&S pattern forming. So, stop losses will be tight if I enter on the 15 min demand zone.

US100 – Today’s Key Trading ZonesHere are today’s trading zones for the US100. The levels are not fixed buy or sell signals, but decision areas where price often accelerates. Rejections can set up counter-trades, while clean breaks and retests can create continuation opportunities. Zone 1 This area represents a major resistance close to the historical top. Price entering this zone carries a high probability of seller absorption and sharp rejection. A clean breakout and hold above would shift sentiment and open the door for new highs. Zone 2 A key decision area from previous weekly highs. Often acts as a liquidity pool where breakout traps are common. A strong rejection can offer short opportunities, while a confirmed break and retest may flip the zone into support. Zone 3 This level has repeatedly attracted strong reactions and carries high resting liquidity. Expect aggressive order flow here – either a sharp bounce for longs or, if broken, a continuation short on retest. Zone 4 Formed around a strong 4H engulfing pattern and aligned with yesterday’s low. Buyers are likely to defend this level, making it a key intraday demand zone. A decisive break below would indicate seller dominance and could accelerate downside momentum. Market Sentiment – Cautious Optimism Overall sentiment in the US100 remains cautiously optimistic, supported by strong performance in Big Tech and expectations of a more dovish Fed. Still, the backdrop is fragile given broader macroeconomic signals, with investors balancing optimism against underlying economic risks. Big Tech Drives the Market Large-cap tech stocks led the market higher at record pace. Alphabet surged nearly 9%, Apple advanced 3–4%, and Tesla gained about 1.4%, boosted by a favorable antitrust ruling and strong technical momentum. Alphabet even reached a new record high, underscoring the sector’s ability to lift the entire index. Macro Data – Mixed but Supportive Weaker job openings data reinforced expectations of Fed rate cuts, a positive driver for growth stocks as lower bond yields support risk appetite. At the same time, the ISM Services PMI rose to 52.0, marking a third straight month of expansion and showing resilience in the services sector despite manufacturing weakness and a cooling labor market.

Nasdaq 100 Holds Pivot Zone 23,280–23,360USNAS100 – Overview The Nasdaq 100 reversed from the 23,045 support highlighted yesterday and is now trading above the pivot zone at 23,280–23,360. Technical Outlook: 📈 Bullish scenario: As long as price holds above 23,280–23,360, upside momentum may extend toward 23,510 → 23,620 → 23,720. A confirmed breakout above 23,770 would strengthen the bullish trend and open the path to a new ATH near 24,090. 📉 Bearish scenario: On the downside, failure to hold above 23,280 would expose 23,045, with full bearish confirmation only if the index stabilizes below 22,990, targeting 22,720. Key Levels: Resistance: 23,510 – 23,620 – 23,720 Support: 23,280 – 23,045 – 22,720

Interesting price action out of the Nasdaq 100Following the Nasdaq 100's rebound from the 50-day SMA at 23,143 on Tuesday, this has delivered two potential bullish scenarios worthy of being added to the watchlist. First is a potential double-bottom pattern at 22,958, with a neckline calling for attention at 23,741. A breakout north of the neckline sheds light on the Stock Index potentially refreshing all-time highs beyond the current record of 23,969 (13 August). Second is a possible morning star bullish candlestick pattern formed from the mentioned 50-day SMA. As a note, traders tend to attack this pattern’s structure by placing buy-stop orders above the pattern’s high (third candle in the formation) and positioning protective stop-loss orders beneath the pattern’s low.

US100 on Shaky Ground – What Traders Should Watch TodayZones in Focus The marked zones on the chart are not fixed buy or sell levels but decision areas where price is likely to accelerate and create short-term opportunities. Red zones (potential supply): If price trades into these areas and shows rejection, it can set up short positions. A clean break above, however, flips the zone into potential support, opening the door for continuation longs. Green zones (potential demand): If price reaches these areas and bounces sharply, it can provide long setups. A decisive break lower, by contrast, turns the zone into resistance, creating opportunities for continuation shorts on a retest. The framework is built around letting price action on the 5-minute chart confirm the reaction: rejections favor counter-trades, while breakouts and retests favor continuation in the direction of the move. The Market Is Sending Mixed Signals The latest JOLTS report showed U.S. job openings falling to 7.18 million in July, below expectations of 7.38 million and down from 7.36 million in June. That makes it the lowest reading in ten months – and for the first time since the COVID era, there are more unemployed workers than available jobs. For equities, this kind of data is a double-edged sword. On one hand, fewer openings cool the labor market and strengthen the case for earlier Fed rate cuts. On the other, if the trend deepens, it signals weaker economic momentum and risks feeding through to lower earnings growth. Mood Check: Nasdaq Between Hope and Fear The mood in the Nasdaq-100 is cautiously optimistic, yet undeniably fragile. The bright side: Big Tech carried the index higher yesterday, with Alphabet rallying 9% and Apple 3–4%. That added roughly 1% to the Nasdaq-100 and reminded us how concentrated the index still is – a single positive headline can shift sentiment fast. At the same time, falling yields and softer labor data fuel hopes that the Fed may soon move toward cuts, a clear tailwind for growth stocks. The risk side: Macro signals tell a different story. The ISM confirmed that manufacturing remains in contraction, and JOLTS made clear that the labor market is cooling. Inflation pressure may be easing, but so is economic momentum. That keeps investors defensive, even as the index rallies. The Bigger Picture Taken together, US100 sentiment is leaning positive in the near term, but the foundation is shaky. Gains are being driven more by mega-cap strength and expectations of rate relief than by broad economic resilience. Until the macro backdrop turns more convincingly, every rally remains vulnerable.
