US100 extends losses by another 2%, dipping below 25,000 for the first time since December 2025.
The tech sector is currently facing a sharp decline, primarily driven by a "buy everything" fatigue as the market transitions into a phase where not every artificial intelligence player is guaranteed to win. This sector-wide pressure was intensified by underwhelming first-quarter forecasts from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which saw its shares plunge 16%.
The weakness extended across the semiconductor and software landscapes, with Micron Technology falling 9%, Broadcom shedding 5%, and Oracle dropping 4%. Even leading infrastructure names like Nvidia and CrowdStrike have faced recent selling pressure. While Microsoft found some stability, the broader tech sector remains the S&P 500’s worst performer, down over 2% as investors await pivotal earnings from Alphabet and Amazon to determine the next trend.
Jobs data also weighs on the overall sentiment. The private payrolls rose only by 22,000 according to the newest ADP report, missing by a huge margin the expected 45,000. Moreover, the reading would be negative if it wasn’t for a surge in hiring in education and health services, with the previous month's downward revision further contributing to the shaky labour market outlook.
US100 (D1)
The US100 has entered a deeper corrective phase, suffering a sharp 2.3% drop. The index has decisively broken below the 50% Fibonacci retracement (25,136), which acted as support earlier in the day. Current price action is testing the 38.2% Fibonacci level (~24,885) and the long-term 120-period EMA (dark purple line), which now serves as a critical line in the sand for bulls.
A failure to hold 24,800 would likely trigger a slide toward the 23.6% Fibo (24,575) or even the psychological floor at 24,000. Recovery hinges on reclaiming the 25,130 level (100-day EMA). A failure to do so could confirm this breakdown as a structural trend change.
