Nasdaq 100

Bullish Sep 30, 2026, 8:23 PM

Holds above 30,000 round number with S&P 500 at 7,661 — broad US equity strength intact; EUR/USD at 1.1325 limits dollar headwind on tech earnings.

Key insight

30,437 consolidates near Q3 highs — break above 31,000 resistance opens path to 32,500; failure at 30,000 flips structure bearish. Oil at $89.9 lifts inflation risk but hasn't yet pressured growth stocks.

Main risk

US 10-Year Treasury Yield Spike

Rising real yields compress Nasdaq multiples; a break above 5.0% on the 10-year would threaten support at 29,400 (200-day MA).

Macro drivers

What is moving the price

Federal Reserve Policy Stance

bullish

Pause cycle supports risk assets; any dovish signal re-rates Nasdaq multiples higher from current levels.

bearish

Oil near $90 keeps inflation elevated, limits Fed flexibility and pressures long-duration growth stocks.

USD/JPY at 157.5 — Weak Yen

bullish

Weak yen sustains carry trades funding US tech longs; reversal above 160 risks unwind pressure.

EUR/USD at 1.1325 — Soft Dollar

bullish

Dollar softness boosts multinational tech revenue translation; supports Nasdaq earnings outlook.

Gold at $4,155 / Risk Sentiment

neutral
