Nasdaq 100 preps for next move after Trump win

14 нояб.

The Nasdaq 100 has traded sideways this week, hovering around levels from last Friday. This is expected following Trump's victory, which saw the index generate a strong bullish surge of 5.84%. Traders now require consolidation or correction, which is precisely what we're observing. The default is for markets to pull back. Still, they can also move sideways, allowing indicators like the RSI to reach neutral levels and creating an environment where traders may feel ready to go long once the trend resumes upward.

Currently, we're watching this week's low at 5,965. If the index stays above this level, we could see a push toward Wednesday's high of 6,014, followed by a target of 16,664 based on the descending triangle pattern forming on the chart. However, if the index breaks below this week's low—a critical short-term level—the NASDAQ 100 could fall to 5,910. For now, though, this is not the primary scenario.
