US100 (D1)

The contract for Nasdaq 100 has just respected the frequently tested resistance level around 22,110 mark. The index seems well stuck within the current consolidation zone between 21,100 and 22,100, experiencing significant volatility upon the post-inauguration decisions and dynamics. The shaky performance of certain Magnificent Seven stocks (Apple, Alphabet, Nvidia) is currently weighing on the index. Additionally, chip stocks suffer due to the uncertainty around semiconductors demand, reported by Korean SK Hynix, supplying memory chips to Nvidia.
