US100

The Nasdaq-100 index, represented by the US100 contract is trading 1% higher today compared to last week's close. The index continues its dynamic uptrend all the time, although at the time of writing this entry the supply side is retesting a key support point, which is the 50-day EMA (blue curve). From a technical perspective, it seems that the key to sustaining the uptrend may be whether the bulls manage to defend the zone around the 50-day EMA (blue curve), which has historically been an important checkpoint for the demand side.
