NSDQ100 bullish reaction to rate-cut expectationsUS CPI and a sharp rise in jobless claims (+263k vs. +235k expected, Texas-driven distortions aside) reinforced the narrative of a cooling labour market. Equities rallied on the lower rates outlook: S&P 500 (+0.85%) and Nasdaq (+0.72%) closed at fresh records, with the Magnificent 7 up +1.13%. Breadth was strong (436 S&P advancers, Russell 2000 +1.83%). Oracle (-6.23%) was a notable laggard after recent gains. Meanwhile, OpenAI’s potential $100bn+ restructuring with Microsoft and a UK data center buildout highlight continued AI momentum. On the geopolitical front, US-China talks (Bessent–He Lifeng) and a possible Xi-Trump meeting, plus progress with India, suggest tentative thawing in trade and tech relations.
Conclusion (Nasdaq-100):
The combination of softer labour data, rate-cut expectations, and sustained AI optimism is a constructive backdrop for the Nasdaq-100. Short-term pullbacks (e.g., Oracle) appear stock-specific, while breadth and AI-linked capex support further upside. Near-term, dips remain buyable unless geopolitics disrupt risk sentiment.

UPDATE: USTEC100 ready to rally through stratosphere to 24,936 USTEC100 is priming itself for some great upside on the daily.
Which means investors are piling into stocks which will drive the prices up and send the index through the stratosphere.
The technicals are very basic, W Formation - Price broken above the 20MA and 200MA and above the neckline.
And so we can easily see the target of 24,936.
🚀 Fed easing hopes → Softer inflation + weak PPI/PPI data raise chances for interest rate cuts, which tend to boost growth/high valuation tech stocks.
💡 AI & innovation tailwinds → Big tech companies keep delivering in AI, semis, cloud etc., giving strong fundamental support.
📈 Strong technicals / trend structure → Price breaking past resistance zones, holding trendline support, indicating bulls are stepping in.
🌍 Risk-on sentiment & dollar weakness → When investors are more willing to take risk (and the USD softens), tech tends to benefit more.
⏳ Pullbacks seen as buying opportunities → Dips have been shallow, and support zones are holding, giving room for further advance.

Nasdaq Eyes 24,240 ATH as PPI LoomsUSNAS100 – Overview
The Nasdaq 100 maintained bullish momentum, retesting support at 23,695 before pushing higher again.
Technical Outlook:
📈 As long as price trades above the 23,870 pivot, bullish momentum is expected to continue toward a new ATH at 24,090 → 24,240.
📉 If the PPI release comes in hotter than expected, it may weigh on the index. A confirmed stabilization below 23,860 would open the way for a pullback toward 23,690.
Key Levels:
Pivot: 23,870
Resistance: 24,090 – 24,240
Support: 23,695 – 23,510
Bias: Bullish above 23,870; bearish correction only if price stabilizes below 23,860, with deeper downside toward 23,690
Nas100 – Today’s Key Trading ZonesTrading zones
Zone 1 – All-Time High Supply (24,014 – 24,026)
This zone sits at the all-time high, where volatility and liquidity hunts are often at their peak. Sellers are likely to defend aggressively here, making sharp rejections common. A clean breakout and hold above would indicate strong buyer conviction and could open the door for further momentum into uncharted territory.
Zone 2 – High Liquidity Demand (23,920 – 23,930)
This demand zone represents a high-liquidity pocket created by prior consolidation. Buyers are expected to step in here on pullbacks, providing potential long setups. However, if the zone fails to hold, it may flip into resistance and trigger continuation downside moves.
With price trading near all-time highs, only two zones are marked today. Volatility at record levels makes price action less structured, leaving limited data to build reliable zones from. As a result, focus remains on the all-time high supply zone above and the high-liquidity demand zone below as the key areas for potential reaction.
Sentiment in the US100 is cautiously positive but fragile. Strong tech momentum and expectations of Fed rate cuts support the index, while softer labor data and cooling producer prices ease pressure on yields. Still, higher-than-expected CPI reminds investors that inflation risks remain, keeping markets on edge near all-time highs.

Futures rise as traders await inflation data, Fed cuts in focusFutures rise as traders await inflation data, Fed cuts in focus
U.S. stock index futures rose slightly on Thursday as traders awaited key consumer price data at 8:30 a.m. ET, expected to show higher August inflation. Wednesday’s softer PPI report fueled bets on Fed rate cuts next week, with markets fully pricing in a 25-bps move and assigning a 10% chance of 50 bps.
Weak labor data reinforced easing expectations, while jobless claims numbers are also due today. The AI trade revived midweek, lifting chipmakers and utilities tied to data centers. Oracle gained 1.6% premarket, while gun stocks extended gains after news of a campus shooting. Despite September’s poor historical record, Wall Street has opened the month on a strong note, with strategists seeing Fed cuts as the key driver of market direction.
