US100 rises sharply, with further upside target of 23,000At this stage, US100 continues to ride a dominant ascending channel structure, maintaining a consistent bullish structure supported by strong fundamentals as well as technical positioning.
The current price action reflects a high-confidence trend environment, underpinned by steady economic resilience in the U.S. tech sector and growing investor optimism surrounding AI-driven growth and corporate earnings. This alignment between structure and sentiment reinforces the strength of the current trend.
What’s especially encouraging is how the price has remained in the upper half of the ascending channel. Every corrective move has been shallow and absorbed quickly as well. This kind of behavior is exactly what you want to see in a strong trend.
From a structural perspective, the recent break of the prior swing high confirmed a bullish break of structure (BOS), reinforcing the broader uptrend. That’s a meaningful move, not just technically, but also psychologically, as it validates that bullish momentum remains intact and market participants are still positioning for higher levels.
No signs of weakness are showing up yet. If anything, the structure is intact and there’s no evidence of a shift in momentum. This makes it a good opportunity for traders who are "late to the party" to consider entering, as the trend still looks strong and continuation is likely.
As for upside targets, the 23,000 level is a natural extension. It aligns with the middle of the channel and fits within the current rate of expansion. If we don’t see any warning signs (like impulsive bearish candles), this target remains both technically justified and psychologically relevant.
Just sharing my thoughts on support and resistance, this isn’t financial advice. Always confirm your setups and manage your risk properly.
