Nasdaq 100 drops to its lowest level since January 2024Nasdaq 100 drops to its lowest level since January 2024
According to the chart of the Nasdaq 100 (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen), the index opened this week around the 16,500 mark – a price level last seen in early 2024.
This suggests that the sharp sell-off in equities seen last Thursday and Friday may well continue today.
Stock indices respond to Trump’s tariffs
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on NBC News’ Meet the Press that there is “no reason” to expect a recession.
However, equity charts reflect market sentiment described by CNN Business’s Fear & Greed Index as “extreme fear”. This wave of negativity followed President Trump’s announcement on 2 April of harsher-than-expected international trade tariffs. In response, China and other nations announced retaliatory measures.
As a result, the Nasdaq 100 (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen) now trades roughly 25% below its 2025 peak – officially entering bear market territory.
Technical analysis of the Nasdaq 100 (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen)
Back on 28 February, we drew an ascending trendline (line A). Bulls attempted a rebound from this support (as shown by the arrow), but their efforts were overwhelmed by the White House’s latest policy decisions.
Given the updated price action, we can now treat line A as the median of an ascending channel. From this perspective, the index is currently near the lower boundary of the channel.
Technically, this could indicate potential support. However, as long as the price remains below the bearish gap – which includes the key psychological level of 17,000 – talk of a meaningful recovery may be premature.

US Technology Companies at Great Risk #NDX US Technology Companies at Great Risk
Let's take a look from a fundamental and technical perspective;
If the protests against Trump, who has been in the presidential seat for 3 months, gain strength and reach a level that disrupts economic activity, uncertainty pricing increases in the markets .
Technology-weighted indices such as NASDAQ sell faster in such periods of uncertainty because they are in the ‘risky asset’ class.
The FED's interest rate cut expectations were first postponed, and now the possibility of cancellation is on the table. This creates negative pressure for technology stocks.
2025 Q1 balance sheets have not yet been fully announced. However, growth rates are slowing in many major technology companies, which means an extra threat to NASDAQ.
Let's take a look at the scenarios that could happen this week;
🔴 Protests increase, if the security problem grows:
NDX may fall below 16,700 again.
If panic sales come into play, there may be a decline to around 15,000.
🟢 If protests are quickly brought under control:
Buying comes from 17,000 level, reaction rise starts.
18.500 - 19.000 band can be retested.
🔸This week there was a very sharp decline of -9.77
🔸It is currently at 17.397 , which corresponds to the middle band of the logarithmic channel (black dashed line).
🔸 16,764 - Persistence below this level may lead to sharper selling.
🔸If the price closes weekly below 17,000 , stronger support around 15,000 may be tested.
🔸This decline may also cause large investors to switch to ‘risk off’ mode.
What Happens Elliott Wave Sequence Completes?Just a quick chart on Nasdaq to show what happens when the Elliott Wave count is completed?
Usually you'd see a major correction. The choice of word depends on the chart time frame. On a monthly chart its still a correction, obviously that is not true for a daily chart where it looks like a SPIKE down.
This chart shows, Wave 5 is terminating within Target zone.
Nas100 - Huge bear trap or further downside?The Nasdaq 100 has recently broken a critical rising trendline that has supported its bullish trajectory for an extended period. This break signifies a potential shift in market sentiment, suggesting that the prior uptrend may be losing steam. When an established trendline is breached, it often signals a change in the market's direction, indicating that buyers are losing control and sellers are starting to assert dominance.
In addition to the trendline break, the Nasdaq 100 has now fallen below all of its key moving averages—namely, the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages. These moving averages are widely followed indicators of trend strength, and their loss is typically a bearish sign. When prices drop below these averages, it signals weakening momentum, and it becomes harder for the index to regain upward traction without strong buying pressure.
The weekly timeframe shows a beautiful support level if the bulls fail to reclaim all the key moving averages.
Together, the break of the rising trendline and the loss of key moving averages suggest that the Nasdaq 100 could be entering a phase of increased volatility and downward pressure. Traders should closely monitor the index for potential further declines or a failure to reclaim these key technical levels, as they could signal deeper market corrections.

Market Review: Full Higher Time Frame Review of NASDAQ bear runI hope this get's featured 🎯
The simplest macroeconomic review of NASDAQ you may see this year.
It's all a fib retracement. That's all I have to say for now 🔪 Share this with someone looking for a good review 💰
**Video was cut short by a minute or two but the general idea was complete
NASDAQ New Week Gap will tell you everything you need to knowIf you watched my idea update from Friday, I was saying that the sellside monthly lows as well as the 2023 yearly high are being targeted.
Low and behold, we hit all targets on the weekly gap drop. Let's see how price approaches the new week opening gap mid level (dashed white). It will definitely hit that level before the end of the week.
If it does not, that means we have super easy sellside targets to hit after a clear rejection back below tested highs as always.
Share this with someone needing easy targets 🎯
NAS100 Weekly Gap: Prime Short Setup or a Trap in Disguise?The weekly gap on NAS100 is lining up as a textbook short target—but will it hold or get steamrolled? While stops beyond the gap offer safer trade placement, downside momentum suggests any pullback may be short-lived. With 16,000 in sight as the next major low, bears have a reason to stay aggressive. Just don’t get caught on the wrong side of a gap fill gone rogue.
NAS100The NAS100, also known as the Nasdaq 100, is a stock market index that includes 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The index is often used to gauge the performance of the tech-heavy part of the stock market. It reflects how well these companies are performing overall, but unlike other indexes, it excludes financial companies like banks and insurance firms. Investors and analysts often look at the NAS100 to track trends in the tech sector and its influence on the broader economy.
NQ: Upcoming Weekly Analysis!FA Analysis:
ST/MT/LT Outlook: Sell
1- Tariffs came into effect on April 2nd and market reacted badly to it. This was completely expected.
2- NFP data came green but market ignored it and continued the sell-off. This tells you the fundamental change in market expectations vis-a-vis US market! So bad data will be bad for equities and good data will be also bad.
3- This week, we've CPI, PPI and Consumer sentiment as major key data. They'll be fuel to the current fire.
4- The FED was tacit and still data related. The FED is running a risk of a late intervention!
5- Additional retaliations from the rest of the world are also expected. USA is isolating itself from the world economy; the damage is here to stay even if Trump cancel those tariffs or deregulate or cut taxes.
TA Analysis:
Weekly TF:
We got a strong bearish weekly close. A gap down should be added to the weekly candle.
A continuation down is expected.
Daily TF:
NQ provided one of the largest daily candle. Market was down until the last minute Friday! There is no interest to buy the dip at all!
A gap down is expected.
In the case of a gap, price might close the gap and continue down.
Hope we get some retrace to join the sell side during NY session.
Happy week with a lot of green pips!
Nasdaq drawing back for for a mini 'bull run' I'm no professional trader, so please don't quote me on this. But I've been doing this for 5 years now, and one thing that i notice time and time again is how just before a big push up there's always a low created first. Almost like the draw of a bow and arrow. So with that theory as well as my strategy applied, this is what i think Nasdaq is preparing to do.
US100 (NASDAQ) Trade Idea 📊 US100 (NASDAQ) Trade Idea: Critical Support Test & Potential Reversal Setup
🔍 Key Levels & Context:
The US100 is currently testing a significant support zone between 16,000–17,000, which has historically acted as a springboard for rallies (see 2023 bounce). A breakdown below 16,000 would suggest a deeper correction toward 15,242 (next support) or even 14,000, while holding above 17,000 could keep the bullish structure intact.
🎯 Profit Targets (If Bullish Reversal Confirmed):
Initial Target: 19,000 (Previous resistance → now potential support-turned-resistance)
Secondary Target: 20,000–21,000 (Psychological level & measured move from consolidation)
Stretch Target: 23,000–24,000 (All-time high retest, Fibonacci extension confluence)
📉 Bearish Scenario (If Support Fails):
A close under 16,000 opens the door to 15,242 (2023 swing low)
Short-term rallies into 17,500–18,000 could then become sell opportunities.
So I think the US100 pursues the following projection, and I'd be happy if you share your thoughts 🫡
