US100
The Nasdaq-100 index, represented by the US100 contract, is trading 0.15% higher today compared to Friday's close. The index continues to maintain a dynamic downward trend, however, today's session brings a retest of the 50-day EMA (blue curve), which in the short term indicates a downward trend so far. Breaking this zone could be a key element for a further rebound of the US100 after recent, sharp declines.
