,
the pre-opening activity (premarket) of major U.S. stock indexes shows a downward trend due to a rebound in oil prices (WTI at $94 and Brent above $104)
and the increase in the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds, which reaches record levels of 5.21%.
Despite this risk-off environment, your watchlist shows key sector dynamics:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Nasdaq 100 has been one of the most talked-about markets this month, and not without reason.
Just weeks ago, the index was coming off its worst monthly performance since March 2025. Now it's printing fresh record territory. That's quite a swing. And on Wednesday, the index pulled back 0.8% from its record high as yields climbed.
So what is the market telling us right now? Let's break it down, step by step.
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
✔︎ CURRENT MARKET SNAPSHOT
➤ NAS100 Price: $30,282.02 (-0.83%)
➤ Day High: $30,567.27
➤ Day Low: $30,125.02
➤ Recent Swing High: 30,844.87
➤ Swing Low (July–August zone): 27,082.27
The index is down on the day, yet it sits far above its swing low. That's roughly a 12% recovery from the bottom.
Big picture: the trend has flipped from weakness to strength.
Short-term picture: buyers are taking a breather. ✔︎
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
➤ TECHNICAL BREAKDOWN (1D CHART)
① Moving Averages
➤ MA(5): 30,396.26
➤ MA(10): 29,845.54
➤ MA(20): 29,608.80
All three are sloping upward, and they're stacked in a bullish order (short above medium above long).
Price is currently trading just below the MA(5), which often signals short-term cooling rather than a full trend change.
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
② Price Structure
After bottoming near 27,082, the index built a strong base, then launched a sharp vertical move toward 30,845.
The latest red candles show profit-taking near that peak.
Sharp rallies often need time to consolidate. That's normal market behavior. ✔︎
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
③ Key Levels to Watch
🔹 Resistance
➤ 30,567 (Day High)
➤ 30,845 (Swing High)
🔹 Support
➤ 30,125 (Day Low)
➤ MA(10) Area Near 29,845
➤ MA(20) Area Near 29,609
Price holding above these zones keeps the bullish structure intact.
Losing them would suggest a deeper pullback is in play.
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
➤ WHAT'S MOVING THE MARKET? (FUNDAMENTALS)
① Rising Treasury Yields
US stocks closed lower on Wednesday as strong economic data, a weak Treasury auction and energy-driven inflation worries pushed yields to multi-decade highs.
Higher yields tend to pressure growth and tech stocks.
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
② Oil Prices
Rising oil is feeding inflation concerns, which affects rate expectations.
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
③ Big Tech Momentum
Meta jumped nearly 12% on Monday, its best day in over a year, showing there is still strong appetite for major tech names.
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
④ Geopolitical Tension
Middle East headlines remain a wildcard for global risk sentiment.
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
➤ THREE SCENARIOS TO THINK ABOUT
① Continuation
Price stabilizes above support, and momentum rebuilds toward the previous highs.
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
② Consolidation
The index moves sideways between the MA(5) and support while the market digests recent gains.
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
③ Deeper Pullback
Yields keep rising, tech weakens, and price tests the moving average zones below.
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
Nobody knows which path the market will choose.
That's why smart traders prepare for all three instead of betting on one.
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
➜ THE REAL LESSON
Markets at record highs feel exciting.
Markets pulling back from highs feel scary.
But experienced traders know both are just phases.
The edge doesn't come from predicting the next candle.
It comes from having a plan, managing risk, and staying calm when the noise gets loud. ✔︎
◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
➜ FINAL THOUGHTS
NAS100 is showing strength on the bigger timeframe while cooling off in the short term.
Watch the moving averages, key levels and bond yield headlines, because they're shaping the story right now.
