NAS100 (NASDAQ) DAILY: On the brink
Failure to regain 30K has setup a fresh run at the downside as the tech led selloff dragged other indices along with it ( COREWEAVE SHARES FALL 12% TO BRING WEEKLY SELLOFF TO 25%)
As the chart shows, the break of 30100 put 28755 (CFD) on the radar, a level bulls do not want to see broken as it would open a big void on the downside.

NAS100 (NASDAQ) DAILY: History lesson
As posted earlier, history showing NAS retracements have proved short-lived and followed by news highs is again being put to the test.
To give history a chance to repeat,as a first step 30000-100+ would need to be regained and then see 30686 + the trendline broken.

NAS100 (NASDAQ) 4 HOUR: The dilemma
Here’s the dilemma…Momentum shifting to the downside vs. a history of short-lived retracements followed by new highs.Looking at the chart, support starts at 30595 tested (low 30575), above which focus stays on 31K. The level bulls do not want to see broken is 30000-30100. Price action suggests there may have been some portfolio shifts from stocks (down) into bonds (up. yields down)

NAS100 (NASDAQ) 4 HOUR: Support vs. FIBOS
So far, retreat from the record high has held dead on at 38.2% (30895). For momentum to build, there needs to be a clean break below 30916. Otherwise, downside contained and 31K remains pivotal. Note, US bond yields well off earlier highs (flatter curve) so far giving some modest support.

NAS100 (NASDAQ) 4 HOUR: Unchartered waters
This time a new record intra-day high seems set to be accompanied by a new record closing high. This leaves 31K as pivotal and needing to become support for a new leg into unchartered territory where the next pivotal level is 32K.
If not, support is below the market at 30584-30725 (on this CFD chart).

NAS100 (NASDAQ) 4 HOUR: Bid but resistance looms
Bounce from just below support has broken down momentum but would need to take out 29480-500 (on this CFD chart) to confirm and shift the risk to the layers of resistance on the upside. Currently, 29291+ is needed to keep the focus on 29500 and away from 29K.

NAS100 (NASDAQ) DAILY: NAS100 vs US500
Unlike US500, NAS100 broke support but with limited follow through (suggest giving NAS some leeway given its large denominator.
Similar to US500, a void of nearby supports below the low suggests using round numbers (e.g. 28K and FIBOS in case the low gives way.

NAS100 (NASDAQ) 4 HOUR: Bids after stops
Attempt to build momentum off the pause just below 29748 met with bids after stops were run rather than follow through below 29400, which is the new obstacle to exposing 29K.
Unless broken, expect more indecisive trading with the onus on the bull side to keep the downside in check as NAS100 trades more on the defensive.

NAS100 (NASDAQ) 1 HOUR: Limited fallout as well
Fallout from stronger NFP limited while it trades above 29452, helped by US bond yields backing off from spike highs.
Broader look: Limit on downside while 29KJ+ trades but upside limited while below key resistance at 29748, blocks putting 30K back on the radar.
