NAS100 (NASDAQ) 4 HOUR
One characteristic of this uber uptrend is that retracements, no matter how brief or shallow, have been followed by new record highs (28951 today).
Until/unless this pattern changes, bulls will continue to buy dips.
With that said, the pause below 29000 suggests this round number is the current obstacle although the broader target is 30000 while above 28000.
On the downside, 28460 blocks expoosinbg 28000.

US500 (SP500) 4 HOUR
Retracement proved brief but test of the record 7390 high only saw a 1 pt extension so essentially a triple top.
Logic says defense rather than offense given the headline risks, especially on a Friday but it would take at least a move through 7327 to suggest momentum shifting the other way.
Otherwise, trend is still your friend.
