NSDQ100 pushing to new ATH?Thursday was a slightly positive session for equities, with the NASDAQ 100 rising +0.18% to close at a fresh record high, driven by strong economic data. However, overall market action was subdued, with the S&P 500’s trading range the narrowest since February (0.35%).
Notably, the equal-weighted S&P 500 fell -0.33%, highlighting underlying weakness outside mega-cap tech.
A key drag on the NASDAQ came from Tesla (-8.20%), which slumped after disappointing earnings. This weighed on the Magnificent 7, which declined -0.21% despite gains in the other six members.
On the macro front, the US dollar strengthened as Donald Trump downplayed his dispute with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, though continued to pressure the Fed on interest rates. Meanwhile, the FCC approved Paramount’s merger with Skydance, signaling a green light for M&A activity in media despite political tensions.
Conclusion – NASDAQ 100 Trading View:
The NASDAQ 100 remains technically bullish, setting new highs amid resilient economic data. However, breadth is weakening, and headline risk—especially around earnings (e.g., Tesla)—could trigger short-term volatility. Traders should stay long with caution, watching for sector rotation or profit-taking near highs, and monitor Fed-related rhetoric for macro-driven moves.

Hopefully this short works because the last few higher time frame short setups have failed, although because of exit plan I have made very little losses.

USNAS100 - Tech Index Pulls Back After Testing 23,295USNAS100 | OVERVIEW
The index came close to registering a new ATH at 23,295 before pulling back slightly.
Today, it appears to be in a bearish correction phase toward 23,200 and 23,150, as long as the price trades below 23,270.
Market sentiment may remain cautious, especially with no major earnings reports scheduled before the open, although Intel’s report after the close could have a notable impact.
A 1H close above 23,290 would invalidate the correction and open the way toward 23,350 and 23,500.
Key Levels:
Support: 23,200 · 23,150 · 23,050
Resistance: 23,350 · 23,520
Nasdaq Index Analysis (US100 / NASDAQ):The Nasdaq index continues its upward trend in the medium to long term. Yesterday, it tested the 23,000 USD level and bounced higher toward 23,290 USD.
1️⃣ If the price breaks below 23,100 USD and closes beneath it, we may see a decline toward 23,000 USD, followed by 22,920 USD.

Nasdaq Ascending Trend has been broken.Good night traders.
With Tuesday & today's move. NQ has broken the ascending trend, and retested the highs.
A total of 107 daily candles, 7,000pips move.
Reasons for taking this trade:
Current monthly candle has 2.9m volume, compared to a 6m & 7million from last 2 months. With only 8 days missing to end the month, how to fill all that pending volume?
Ascending trend has been broken and retested.
Expect a deep correction, around 2000-2400-2600 pips. There is correlation between 38.2 Fibo level.
Last week there was a manipulation with Powell dismiss rumor on Wednesday, next day on Thursday NQ rallied to the upside. Today being also Wednesday we saw a huge rejection to the upside, but there is no continuation.
DXY reaching bottom, + has a deeper short trend initiation, starting on January 13.
Trade will be validated if NQ creates a LL followed by a LH within the next 2 days.

US 100 – All Eyes on Tariffs, Trade Deals and Tech EarningsRenewed demand for US assets has been evident throughout July so far and this has helped to lift the US 100 index to new heights with gains of over 2.5% across the month. The technology heavy index has risen from opening levels around 22650 on July 1st, then recorded several all time highs, before eventually finding some selling interest after printing the most recent record peak at 23282 yesterday afternoon.
This upside has been supported by fresh trader hopes of interest rate cuts, after Federal Reserve (Fed) policymaker Waller suggested last Thursday that he would consider a 25bps (0.25%) reduction at their next meeting on July 30th, despite Fed Chairman Powell maintaining the view that the US central bank are currently pursuing a wait and see approach, as they look for more information on inflation and growth trends to assist them to determine the on-going impact of tariffs.
Part of the reason for the Fed’s reluctance to cut rates has also been the resilience of US economic data. With US consumers still spending and employment yet to feel the negative impact of President Trump’s tariff policies, leading to a potential positive knock-on impact for growth and corporate earnings, when considered against prior downbeat market expectations.
This all leads nicely onto what could be a key sentiment driver for the direction of the US 100 this week, the start of earnings updates from the ‘Magnificent Seven’ tech companies, two of which, Alphabet and Tesla, report their earnings after the market close tomorrow. These are then followed by Microsoft and Meta on Wednesday July 30th, then Amazon and Apple on Thursday July 31st.
Traders will be keen to judge actual earnings against market expectations, alongside updates on AI spending and investment, forward guidance on the impact of tariffs and more specifically for Tesla, the time Elon Musk may dedicate to the company, rather than the distractions of politics.
The technical outlook could also be important.
Technical Update: Can The Positive Trend Extend Further?
There appears to be no clear-cut signs of a negative sentiment shift in the US 100 index yet, as fresh buying has continued to develop above support provided by the rising daily Bollinger mid-average, currently at 22785 (see chart below).
Of course, there is no guarantee this positive pattern of higher price highs and higher price lows will continue, especially given the on-going trade discussion between the US and its allies, as well as the earnings announcements from Alphabet and Tesla.
However, it can be useful for traders to prepare for any future volatility by assessing potential support and resistance levels that could impact the direction of the US 100 moving forward.
Potential Support Levels:
It is possible the rising Bollinger mid-average, currently at 22785, represents a first support focus for traders, and as such, closing breaks below this level might lead to a more extended phase of price weakness.
Such moves could see a deeper sell-off towards 22533, which is equal to the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of June 23rd to July 18th 2025 price strength.
Potential Resistance Levels:
With fresh price strength emerging with the US 100 index above the rising Bollinger mid-average, a positive price pattern of higher highs and higher lows, may still be evident. This reflects buyers are currently willing to pay higher prices, each time a setback materialises.
However, to maintain this uptrend pattern in price, the focus could now be on resistance provided by the July high at 23282 (July 21st). Closing breaks above this level might be required to suggest further strength, towards the next potential resistance level at 24084, which is the weekly Bollinger upper band, even 24482, which is equal to the 38.2% Fibonacci extension.

USNAS100 Eyes 23350 Ahead of Powell & Earnings StormUSNAS100
The price maintains bullish momentum, as outlined in the previous idea, with a clean rejection from the 23280 zone. Today, volatility is expected to increase ahead of Jerome Powell’s speech and a wave of key earnings reports.

A short-term correction toward 23045 is possible if we get a 1H close below 23140.
Resistance: 23230 · 23350 · 23510
Support: 23045 · 22920
