NASDAQ 100 Daily Technical Analysis & Setups

NAS100 Daily Technical Report — Wednesday 15 April 2026
Data: Close 15 Apr 2026 | NAS100: 26,098.93 | Change: +256.93 (+0.99%) | VIX: 18.36



MARKET OVERVIEW
NASDAQ 100 closed higher for a second straight session as mega-cap tech and semiconductors led broad leadership. Breadth was firmly positive across the scanner universe — 28 of 40 NASDAQ 100 components we track closed in the green. The index pushed through 26,000 with a modest but controlled advance (+0.99%), while the VIX settled at 18.36, suggesting option markets are not bracing for a sharp regime shift.

Session drivers were concentrated in AI/semiconductor names (AVGO, AMD, NVDA, MU) and a huge idiosyncratic gap in DASH (+10.0%), TSLA (+7.6%) and INTU (+6.3%). On the other side, several semiconductor-capital-equipment names (KLAC -2.66%, LRCX -2.66%, MU -2.03%) saw mild profit-taking after recent strength. Bias remains BULLISH above 25,800; a close back below that level would flip the near-term structure to neutral.



TREND ANALYSIS
EMA stack on the NAS100 index remains bullish: price > EMA20 > EMA50 > EMA200. Market structure printed a higher high on the daily (vs. prior swing) with a higher low intact at the 25,400 area.

Internal breadth across the 40 NASDAQ 100 components we scan:
- Bull (above all 3 EMAs): 20 stocks (50%)
- Bull above 20/50 only: 8 stocks
- Mixed: 6 stocks
- Bear (below 20/50): 2 stocks
- Bear (below all 3 EMAs): 4 stocks

Current phase: trending higher with short-term consolidation pockets in mega-cap tech. Semi breadth is the strongest of any sub-sector — that is the group doing the heavy lifting.



INDICATOR SIGNALS
RSI(14): 6 components in overbought (>70) — AMZN 75.5, MRVL 81.9, AVGO 77.0, AMD 74.8, NFLX 79.0, GOOGL 71.3. 1 component oversold (<30): TMUS at 27.3. The breadth of RSI leadership is genuine, not narrow.
MACD: 34 of 40 components with MACD line above signal. Most recent bullish crossovers: AAPL, ABNB, META, GOOGL, BKNG, CDNS — momentum is broadening.
Volume: Average relative volume 0.94 — slightly below norms, no conviction-selling footprint. TSLA (rv 1.63) and DASH (rv 1.60) led on volume.

Legend: RSIz = OB/Bull/Neu/Bear/OS zones. Trend: Bull = close above all 3 EMAs; Bull* = above 20/50, below 200; Bear* = below 20/50, above 200; Bear = below all 3 EMAs. POC = close Above/Below 60-day Point of Control.



SECTOR-LEVEL VIEW
LEADERS
- Semiconductors: Strongest group. 9 of 11 names bullish on all EMAs. AMD, AVGO, NVDA, MU, LRCX, KLAC, AMAT, ADI, TXN, MRVL all in confirmed up-trends. This is the engine of the index right now.
- Mega-cap Tech: 7 of 9 bull — AAPL breakout, META MACD cross, GOOGL at highs, AMZN RSI-led, NFLX bull momentum, NVDA and AVGO leading semis. MSFT is Bull*.

LAGGARDS
- Software / Cloud: Weakest group. WDAY, INTU, FTNT all Bear-below-all. PANW, CRWD, ADBE in Mixed. Watch for mean-reversion plays here — INTU pushed +6.25% today despite the bearish backdrop.
- Consumer / Internet: Mixed — BKNG, MELI, DASH, PYPL all in Bull* recovery mode under a falling 200-EMA. COST has rolled to Bear*.
- Healthcare / Biotech: ISRG mixed, REGN Bear* — no clean leadership in this sleeve.
- Comms / Utility: TMUS Bear-below-all, RSI 27.3 — oversold but no reversal trigger yet.



TOP SWING SETUPS
1) AVGO — Semiconductor trend leader
Close 396.72 (+4.19%), RSI 77.0, MACD bull-cross, full EMA alignment. Closed within 0.4 of the session high — strong demand absorption. POC at 329.26 is well below price. Extended but momentum dominant.
Entry: 393-395 (pullback to pivot) · Stop: 383 (below S2 / ATR buffer) · T1: 405 · T2: 415 · R:R: 1:1.9
Why: Cam R4 403.05 is the trend-day breakout trigger; holding above pivot 393.12 keeps the upside intact. Pullbacks into 390-394 have been bought.

2) AMD — Bull continuation
Close 258.12 (+1.20%), RSI 74.8, MACD bull. Pushed to fresh session highs; structure shows higher highs on the daily. ATR 9.61 — room to run.
Entry: 254-256 (Cam S2/S3 retest) · Stop: 248 (below Cam S4 and 1 ATR) · T1: 262 · T2: 270 · R:R: 1:1.3
Why: Above pivot 256.05 with Cam R1 260.25 as first target. Trend and volume both confirming.

3) META — MACD recovery
Close 671.58 (+1.37%), RSI 66.6, just pushed MACD line above signal. Fresh bull-on-all EMAs after regaining EMA200 at 649.79. POC 635.77.
Entry: 666-672 (pivot 671.43) · Stop: 648 (below EMA200) · T1: 690 · T2: 710 · R:R: 1:1.6
Why: Bullish MACD crossover + EMA200 reclaim is a high-conviction combination. Stop is structural, not noise.

4) KLAC — Buy-the-dip semi-cap
Close 1748.11 (-2.66%) — minor profit-take after extended run; structure fully intact (bull-all, RSI 66.. EMA20 1605.89 is a long way below price but daily momentum is still the primary driver.
Entry: 1720-1750 (pivot zone) · Stop: 1680 (below day low) · T1: 1795 · T2: 1830 · R:R: 1:1.2
Why: Semi-cap-equipment leadership still intact (AMAT, LRCX confirm). The -2.66% print looks like a liquidity pullback inside a trend.

5) GOOGL — Trend with RSI leadership
Close 337.12 (+1.26%), RSI 71.3, bull on all EMAs. Closed near session high at 337.48. POC 312.11 well below.
Entry: 334-337 (Cam S3-S1) · Stop: 328 (below Cam S4 and EMA20) · T1: 342 · T2: 348 · R:R: 1:1.4
Why: Tight consolidation at highs with RSI confirmation. Cam R3 338.93 is the first breakout trigger.

BEARISH WARNINGS
WDAY — Close 124.12, Bear on all EMAs (EMA200 190.20). Despite +5.31% today, it is still -55% from 52w high. Dead-cat bounce risk. No buy here.
INTU — Close 389.72, Bear on all EMAs, -52.1% from 52w high. RSI 42.6. Today's +6.25% move is counter-trend; needs to reclaim EMA20 at 404.51 before trend can flip.
FTNT — Close 79.64, Bear on all EMAs, -27.2% from 52w high. No momentum signal; avoid long-side setups.
TMUS — Close 190.19, Bear on all EMAs, RSI 27.3 oversold but no reversal trigger. Wait for structure before attempting a mean-reversion long.
COST — Close 984.75, rolled to Bear* (below 20/50). First time this year. Watch 956 EMA200 as the line in the sand.
REGN — Close 753.93, Bear*, MACD negative, RSI 48.1. Risk tilted down; wait for basing action.



EVENTS CALENDAR — NEXT 1-2 DAYS
Macro: US PPI (March) this week — key for validating CPI. Initial Jobless Claims Thursday. No FOMC meeting this week; FOMC Minutes from the March 17-18 meeting already released last week.

NAS100 Daily Technical Analysis — Wednesday 15 April 2026
Data: Close 15 Apr | NAS100: 26,098.93 | Change: +256.93 (+0.99%) | VIX: 18.36 | S&P 500: 7,022.95 (record close)



Market Overview

NAS100 closed at a fresh near-record 26,098.93, adding +256.93pts (+0.99%) as the index cleared the 26,000 barrier. Of the 40 tracked NASDAQ-100 stocks, 28 are in a full bullish EMA stack (close > 20/50/200-EMA), 6 are in a bearish stack, and 6 are mixed/transitioning. Risk appetite was driven by de-escalating global tensions, a blockbuster start to Q1 earnings season (financials leading) and continued AI-capex flows into semis and data-centre names. VIX compressed to 18.36, consistent with trend-persistence. Overall bias: BULLISH — trend intact while 25,900 holds.



Trend Analysis

EMA stack (daily): Bullish alignment on the index — price > EMA20 > EMA50 > EMA200. Internally, the cohort is skewed bullish (see breadth above).
Market structure: Higher highs, higher lows. Today's print equalled/exceeded prior swing peak near 26,000 — structural breakout in play if 26,100 holds on a close basis tomorrow.
Phase: Trending with breakout extension. Price is stretched above the 20-EMA; a mean-reversion pullback into 25,900 offers a cleaner re-entry zone.



Indicator Signals

RSI(14): ~66 on the index — strong but not overbought (<70). No bearish divergence on the latest swing.
MACD: Line above signal; histogram hovering around zero with a mild positive tilt. Momentum decisiveness is pending — a histogram expansion on a close >26,100 validates a continuation leg.
Volume: Participation supportive of the breakout; financials-led tape, with mega-cap tech firm rather than explosive.



Key NAS100 Index Levels

Resistance
- R1: 26,100 — today's high / breakout pivot. Clean close above = continuation trigger.
- R2: 26,300 — measured-move projection from late-March consolidation.
- R3: 26,500 — round number / extension target if momentum expands.

Support
- S1: 25,900 — today's breakout base; first dip-buy zone.
- S2: 25,600-25,700 — prior resistance turned support, aligns with rising 20-EMA.
- S3: 25,000 — structural floor; loss opens 24,600.

Pivot (classic, next session): P ~ 26,035 · R1 26,160 · R2 26,220 · S1 25,975 · S2 25,870

Bottom Line

NAS100 printed +0.99% and closed above 26,000 with breadth supportive internally (28 of 40 in full bullish stacks). Leadership is concentrated in semis and AI-capex names; software is the relative-weak pocket. The path of least resistance remains higher while 25,900 holds. Discipline: wait for the 25,900-26,030 pullback rather than chasing strength. A daily close back under 25,900 would be the first shot across the bows of this trend.
