Chart of the day - US100 (22.08.2023)

8:33 AM 22 August 2023

Nasdaq-100 futures (US100) are attempting to climb above the 15,000 pts mark this morning. The index has been enjoying strong gains since Friday evening and the move higher accelerated yesterday. Sentiment towards the tech sector seems to be improving as Nvidia earnings releases approaches (Wednesday after session close). Results from Nvidia are expected to be a test for the AI-related bull market in tech shares. Investors seem to be optimistic with Nvidia shares rallying over 8% yesterday. Previous earnings release from the company triggered an around 25% jump in share price and launched a strong upward impulse on the broad market.

Taking a look at US100 chart at H4 interval, we can see that the index was pulling back during the first half of August but declines were halted at the 14,625 pts support zone last week. The ongoing rebound push the index into an area, where the downward trendline as well as the upper limit of the Overbalance structure can be found. A break above the 15,045 pts zone could hint that the correction is over and the index will resume gains. In such a scenario, the 15,400 pts zone is the next resistance to watch.
