US100 Near End of Wave ((v)) of 3 of (5)Overall Wave Structure (2016–2025):
Wave 1 (or Sub-Wave Extension, 2016–2018): From ~4,266 (Feb 2016 trough) to ~8,109 (Sep 2018 peak). This is often labelled as an impulsive advance, subdivided into five smaller waves, driven by post-financial crisis recovery and tech innovation.
Wave 2 (Correction, Late 2018): A sharp 3-wave (A-B-C) zigzag down to ~6,190, retracing about 38.2% of Wave 1 (Fibonacci level). This aligns with classic Elliott rules for wave 2 corrections being deep but not exceeding the start of wave 1.
Wave 3 (Extended Rally, 2019–2021): The strongest impulse, from ~6,190 to ~16,057 (Nov 2021 peak). Subdivided into five sub-waves, with extensions in sub-wave iii, reflecting the pandemic-era tech surge.
Wave 4 (Major Correction, 2022): A complex 3-wave decline (A-B-C) to ~10,213 (Oct 2022 trough), retracing ~38.2%–50% of Wave 3. Sources describe it as a "setup for higher highs," not the end of the bull cycle.
Wave 5 (Ongoing Advance, 2023–2025): From ~10,213 to current, but really near the peak of wave ((v)) 5(3), with prospect of a deep corrective. Character of the end of wave 5 includes a broadening market, with the main group of drivers of growth being stagnant. Wave 5 is also characterised with euphoria, sometimes things looks rossy, bright and never ending bullishness before an abrupt pivot down.
NASDAQ is Nearing the Intersection of The Trend with Resistance!Hey Traders, in today's trading session we are monitoring NAS100 for a selling opportunity around 23,875 zone, NASDAQ is trading in a downtrend and currently is in a correction phase in which it is approaching the trend at 23.875 support and resistance area.
Trade safe, Joe.
NASDAQ Potential Bullish ContinuationNASDAQ price action seems to exhibit signs of potential Bullish momentum as the price action may form a credible Higher High (after tarriff delays on the EU) with multiple confluences through key Fibonacci and Support levels which presents us with a potential long opportunity.
Trade Plan:
Entry : 21600
Stop Loss : 20550
TP 1: 22649
comments on this (short) Predictions?Recently, we have been seeing the (Nas) slowly retracing.
Although, we are on a uptrend on higher time frames.
The chances for a swing higher has been decreasing.
On market news along with other pairs, such as (Gold)
is projected to go long. So in theory we might catch
a good retracement on the (NAS).
NAS100 4H Channel: Bounce or Breakdown?NASDAQ100 has been trending within a clean ascending channel on the 4H timeframe. We’re now sitting at a crucial decision point — the midline and horizontal support around 23,670.
This zone has historically acted as a strong S/R pivot. If price holds, we could see another bullish bounce toward 24,000+. But if it breaks and closes below, we may get a clean drop toward the bottom of the channel — with 23,200 and 22,663 as targets.
Plan:
• Wait for a 4H close above or below the 23,670 level
• Bullish scenario: Bounce toward upper channel (~24,300)
• Bearish scenario: Drop to lower channel boundary with incremental TP levels
Structure:
• 4H rising channel structure still intact
• Price testing midline zone
• Horizontal level at ~23,670 adds confluence
• No confirmed break of channel yet
Key Zones:
• Support: 23,670 (midline + structure support)
• Bullish flip zone: 23,967
• Bearish continuation zones:
‣ 23,200
‣ 22,994
‣ 22,663
US100 – Bullish Momentum Holds Strong After BreakoutHello, what are your thoughts on CAPITALCOM:US100 ?
The US100 index is trading around 23,852, holding steady after a strong breakout from the previous resistance, now acting as new support at 23,685. This bullish structure is supported by the latest US economic data, which eased investor concerns — with lower inflation readings and recovering corporate earnings, boosting risk appetite.
On the 4H chart, price remains above both the EMA 34 and EMA 89, indicating strong underlying momentum. The recent breakout was followed by a period of consolidation, showing healthy market behavior before the next upward move. As long as price stays above the trendline, buyers maintain full control.
Even if a short-term pullback occurs, the support zone at 23,687 remains a solid base for buyers to re-enter near 24,200.
My outlook is bullish, what do you think? Leave your thoughts in the comments!
USNAS100 | Geopolitics in Play – Key Pivot at 23870USNAS100 Overview
Geopolitical developments currently influence the price.
Technical Outlook:
While below 23870, the price is expected to drop toward 23690. To confirm continuation of the bearish trend, it needs a 1H close below 23690.
A 4H close above 23870 would shift momentum bullish toward 24090.
Pivot: 23870
Support: 23690, 23540, 23440
Resistance: 23940, 24090
NSDQ100 sideways consolidation support at 23664Yesterday’s market action flipped from Wednesday’s pattern, with US Treasury yields jumping (10yr +5.1bps) after a much hotter-than-expected July Producer Price Index. Headline PPI surged +0.9% MoM (+3.3% YoY) vs. +0.2%/+2.5% expected — the largest monthly gain since March 2022 — and core PPI rose +0.6% MoM (+2.8% YoY) vs. +0.2%/+2.5% expected. The surprise beat every Bloomberg economist’s forecast and dims the chances of a September Fed rate cut. However, PPI components tied to core PCE — the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge — showed only a modest uptick (+0.29% vs. +0.26%), offering some relief. Despite rate cut bets being pared back, the S&P 500 still closed slightly higher (+0.03%), logging a third straight record high.
Geopolitical note:
Trump and Putin are set to meet in Alaska tonight over Ukraine, with low expectations for an immediate breakthrough.
Conclusion for NASDAQ-100:
The hotter inflation print and higher yields introduce near-term headwinds, especially for rate-sensitive growth stocks. However, the market’s resilience yesterday suggests bullish momentum remains intact for now — but upside in the NASDAQ-100 may be capped until inflation data eases or Fed policy expectations shift dovishly again.

US100 HIGH TENDENCY TO CONTINUE BULLISH-Chart TalksUS100 Breaks its previous all time highs to make a new high recently after finding a new support around the 22642.07 from the technical standpoint, we’re expecting a little Pullback in price to 23495 so we can go long on this pair.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity
NDX & SPX , Stay heavy on positionsNDX & SPX , Stay heavy on positions. (QLD, TQQQ)
While the market continues to break all-time highs, market participants remain cautious.
Some are even anticipating a pullback in September, and overall, expectations for a correction are widely present.
Interestingly, market participants often have a good instinct for major turning points.
The issue, however, is timing—they tend to act too early.

Up Up Up... Nothing Can Stop NAS From RisingLet's take a look at the big picture in the NASDAQ: Do you see how nicely the spring crash landed on the 50% retracement of the upward movement since fall 2022?
Now that we've crossed the old ATH, the targets are clear, and they're way up in the NASDAQ.
The summer correction is therefore likely to fail and probably turn into a listless sideways slide. By September at the latest, however, the NAS should pick up speed again and head for targets between 25,000 and 26,000 - at the very least.
Clear skies!
Update on the Nasdaq trade idea I shared last night.An update on the trade idea of NASDAQ last night where I was anticipating a buy from the marked zone with other possible Point Of Interested marked out aswell.

NAS100 – Potential Short Setup After Sharp RallyOn the 5-minute chart, NAS100 has made a strong upward move following a sharp drop earlier in the session.
Price is now approaching a potential exhaustion point near 23,940–23,960. I expect a reversal from this zone, followed by a move back toward 23,725 and possibly lower.
Trade Plan:
Sell Entry: 23,940–23,960 zone after confirmation
Stop-Loss: Above 23,960
Take-Profit: 23,725 initial target; further downside possible if momentum continues
Notes:
Watch for reversal candlestick patterns or break of short-term structure before entering.
This setup is based on intraday momentum and may require fast execution.
