US100 (D1 interval)
Looking at the Nasdaq 100 futures chart, bulls have encountered strong resistance near the 27,600 level. This zone is likely to act as a key resistance area in the coming days and weeks. The current daily candle is forming a wick resembling a bearish gravestone doji. Similarly, the MACD is pointing to a bearish crossover. On the other hand, the broader earnings season backdrop remains supportive for equities, although without a resolution to the Middle East conflict, it may be difficult to generate another equally strong upside impulse.
