NASDAQ 100 Daily Technical Analysis & Setups

NASDAQ 100 — Daily Technical Analysis — Thursday 30 April 2026
Data: Close 30 Apr 2026 | NAS100: ~27,250 | Change: +60 pts (+0.2%) approx | Intraday High: 27,490 (record) | VIX: 19.31



MARKET OVERVIEW

The Nasdaq 100 printed a fresh all-time intraday high at 27,490 before fading into the close as the Big Tech earnings split into clear winners and losers. The headline number was muted but the internals were anything but — the index closed only modestly higher because heavy weights moved violently in opposite directions.

The story of the day was capex-discipline scrutiny on hyperscaler AI spend. GOOGL surged ~10% (RSI 82.4) after Q1 revenue beat at $109.9bn with Google Cloud +63% YoY — its best month since 2004. QCOM ripped +15.1% on a Q2 beat driven by China chip strength. Offsetting that, META tanked -8.7% as investors punished rising AI capex, MSFT lost -3.9% on the same theme, and NVDA fell -4.6% on AI-spend scrutiny.

Bias: Bullish but stretched. Breadth remains firmly with the bulls (25 of 40 tracked names in full bull EMA stack), but mega-cap dispersion is the highest in months. The 27,490 high is the wall — failure to reclaim and hold above 27,400 opens 26,900 trendline support.



TREND ANALYSIS

EMA Stack: NAS100 remains in a bullish multi-month trend, trading well above the rising 200-day SMA. Across the 40 component sample, 25 stocks (62.5%) are in a full bull EMA stack (close > EMA20 > EMA50 > EMA200), versus 10 stocks (25%) in a full bear stack. One stock is in a bull-2050 partial recovery and four are mixed.

Market Structure: Higher highs / higher lows still in force at the index level after today's record print. The fact the rally was carried by GOOGL and QCOM rather than across all mega-cap tech raises a caution flag — leadership is narrowing.

Phase: Late-stage trending phase with rotation. Capital is rotating from MSFT/META/NVDA into GOOGL, QCOM, semi laggards and the Dow 30 (Eli Lilly +9%, Caterpillar +11% same session). Watch for a stall here unless the laggards rotate back in.



INDICATOR SIGNALS

RSI (14): Seven names in overbought territory — QCOM 87.4 (extreme), GOOGL 82.4, AMD 79.0, MRVL 76.9, AMZN 76.5, TXN 77.3, ADI 70.8. Zero oversold readings across the 40 names — every weak chart is in the 40-50 zone, not capitulation. That is itself a bullish signal.

MACD: 29 bullish (line above signal) versus 11 bearish. Strongest bullish spreads on AMD (+7.02), TXN (+4.90) and QCOM (+4.35). Worst bearish spreads on META (-2.19) and INTU (-2.24).

Volume: Heavy participation on the day's leaders — META RV 3.29x (forced selling), QCOM 3.62x (breakout volume), GOOGL 2.65x, ORLY 2.21x, KLAC 2.02x, AMZN 1.99x, MSFT 1.96x, AAPL 1.75x. High-conviction day in both directions.



KEY NAS100 INDEX LEVELS

Resistance:
R1 — 27,490 (today's intraday high / fresh ATH — must reclaim)
R2 — 27,600 (psychological round number / measured-move target)
R3 — 27,800 (extension target if breakout sticks)

Support:
S1 — 27,000 (round number / prior breakout level)
S2 — 26,900 (multi-month rising trendline — KEY)
S3 — 26,200 (January / 2025 highs — break here changes the trend)

Pivot: 27,250 area | Classic R1 ~27,400 | R2 ~27,490 | S1 ~27,100 | S2 ~27,000

Round-number psychology: 27,500 is the next magnet on the upside; 27,000 is the must-hold floor.

SECTOR GROUPING — TRENDS AT A GLANCE

Semiconductors (9/9 in bull stack): Strongest sector cohort. Every name above all three EMAs. AMD, QCOM, TXN, MRVL all RSI >75. Risk = extremely overbought, but breadth is undeniable.

Mega-Cap Tech (5/9 bullish): AAPL, NVDA, AMZN, GOOGL, AVGO holding the bull stack despite NVDA / MSFT pullback. META and NFLX in bear-all; MSFT and TSLA mixed. Dispersion is high — pick stocks not the basket.

Software / Cloud (5/8 bullish): CRWD, PANW, SNPS, CDNS, FTNT all bull-all but most still well below 52w highs. INTU, WDAY in deep bear (-50% from highs); ADBE mixed. Sector recovering but lagging.

Consumer / Internet (3/8 bullish): Mixed bag. ORLY, COST, MAR, ABNB strong; BKNG, MELI, DASH all in bear-all stacks. PYPL recovering (above 20/50 but below 200).

Healthcare / Biotech (0/2 bullish): Both ISRG and REGN in bear-all. Capital flowing out of the group.

Comms / Utility / Industrial (2/4 bullish): CSCO and CEG strong; TMUS bearish; LIN mixed.



TOP 5 SWING TRADE SETUPS

1. GOOGL — Breakout Continuation (LONG)
Earnings-driven gap to a fresh 52w high (52H = 385.84, today's high implied). MACD bull spread widening to +3.94. RSI 82.4 is extreme — wait for first pullback. Catalyst confirmed (Q1 beat, Cloud +63% YoY).
Entry: 376-378 pullback to Cam S3 zone · Stop: 369 (below Cam S4 373.93 with buffer) · T1: 391 (Classic R1) · T2: 411 (Classic R3) · R:R: 1:1.7 / 1:3.3
Why: Best month since 2004. EMA20 336 / EMA50 322 / EMA200 283 — multi-EMA support stack. POC 314.57 is far below — uptrend has clean air.

2. AMD — Bull Stack Trend Continuation (LONG)
Sat right at 52w high (354.96). RSI 79 stretched but MACD diff +7.02 is the strongest in the universe. Volume normal (RV 1.03) — calm bull, not blow-off.
Entry: 348 pullback to Cam S3 (348.34) · Stop: 338 (below pivot 347.35 + ATR buffer) · T1: 362 (Classic R1) · T2: 369 (Classic R2) · R:R: 1:1.4 / 1:2.1
Why: EMA stack 288 / 252 / 210 — textbook bull. POC 231.66 is 35% below price. Trend is established and controlled.

3. AVGO — Cup Continuation (LONG)
Trading 0.4% off 52w high (429.31). RSI 67.9 still has room. Full bull EMA stack 388 / 362 / 327. MACD bull but spread thin (+0.62) — patience is the trade.
Entry: 413 pullback to pivot · Stop: 399 (below S2 / Cam S4) · T1: 427 (R2) · T2: 436 (R3) · R:R: 1:1.0 / 1:1.6
Why: Lower-RSI alternative to AMD/QCOM in same theme. POC 340.84 is the absolute floor on any deeper retest.

4. TXN — Trend Continuation (LONG)
RSI 77.3, MACD diff +4.90, full bull EMA stack with EMA200 at 198.93 vs price 281 — extreme separation but trend is intact. Up +4.4% on the session on volume.
Entry: 276-277 pullback to pivot / Cam S3 · Stop: 268 (below S1) · T1: 287 (R1 / 52w high) · T2: 292 (R2) · R:R: 1:1.2 / 1:1.7
Why: Classic mid-cycle semi continuation, less crowded than AMD/QCOM. POC 220.68 is the deeper bull invalidation.

5. META — Breakdown (SHORT)
Lost EMA20 (647), EMA50 (639) AND EMA200 (651) on the day with -8.65% on RV 3.29x. Now bear-all. MACD just crossed bear (-2.19 spread). RSI 41.2 — room to fall further.
Entry: 615-618 retest of Cam R3 / EMA200 zone · Stop: 632 (above EMA50 + ATR) · T1: 590 (S2 / round) · T2: 568 (50% retrace of last leg) · R:R: 1:1.6 / 1:3.0
Why: Earnings-driven trend breakdown with volume confirmation. Below POC 626.91. The capex-discipline narrative is unlikely to flip in 24-48hrs.



INTRADAY SETUPS — PIVOT & CAMARILLA

A. AAPL — Cam Range Trade (LONG bias)
Close 271.35, sat right on Cam R1 272.07 / pivot 271.83. Tight Cam range with S3 269.19 to R3 273.51. Bull EMA stack supports buying tests of S3.
Long entry: 269.50 (Cam S3 bounce) · Stop: 267.00 (below Cam S4 267.03) · Target: 273.50 (Cam R3) · R:R: 1:1.6
Confluence: Pivot, EMA20 266.05, POC 262.76 all stacked beneath — buyers there.

B. ORLY — Cam Breakout Trade (LONG)
Close 99.40 just below Cam R1 99.76 after +8.41% breakout day on RV 2.21x. Volume signature suggests follow-through. R4 at 101.58 = breakout target.
Trigger: Break and hold above 99.80 · Stop: 98.30 (below Cam S3) · Target: 101.58 (Cam R4) then 102.31 (R2) · R:R: 1:1.2
Confluence: EMA stack converged at 93-94 — wide trend support. POC 92.83.

C. NVDA — Pivot Bounce (LONG)
Close 199.53 below pivot 202.84 after -4.64% day. Bull EMA stack still intact (198 / 190 / 178). RV 1.46 — selling controlled. Trade the bounce off Cam S1 198.47 / EMA20 198.14.
Entry: 198.50 (Cam S1 / EMA20 confluence) · Stop: 195.00 (below S1 195.39) · Target: 203 (pivot) then 207 (R1) · R:R: 1:1.3 / 1:2.4
Confluence: EMA20 + Cam S1 = double support. Failure here invalidates the bullish semi-cap narrative.

D. META — Pivot Rejection (SHORT)
Close 611.23 just above pivot 610.69. Bear-all. Below EMA20/50/200, below POC.
Trigger: Rejection at 613-615 (pivot zone / EMA20 underside test) · Stop: 622 (above Cam R4) · Target: 600 (S1 / round number) · R:R: 1:1.4
Confluence: Stacked resistance from EMA200 651 / EMA20 647 / EMA50 639 — sellers above on any bounce.

E. AMZN — Pivot Continuation (LONG)
Close 265.06 right on pivot 265.03. RSI 76.5 stretched, but bull stack flawless. Cam R1 266.68 is the breakout pivot for an intraday push.
Trigger: Hold above 265 + break of Cam R1 266.68 · Stop: 263 (below Cam S1) · Target: 269.93 (Cam R3) then 273.91 (Classic R1) · R:R: 1:1.5 / 1:2.5
Confluence: EMA20 246 / EMA50 232 — wide support cushion. POC 220.66 = absolute floor.

BEARISH WARNINGS

META 611.23 — Just printed a textbook trend-break. Lost all three EMAs in one session on RV 3.29x. MACD bear cross. Watch 600 round number for a possible relief bounce; below 590 the structure points to 568.

MSFT 407.78 — Lost EMA20 (408.91) and now mixed. EMA200 sits 33 points above price (441) — bear pressure overhead. RV 1.96x on the down day. RSI 51 is not yet oversold so further downside is plausible.

NVDA 199.53 — Held EMA20 by 1.4 points. Closed below pivot. AI capex narrative. The 198 zone (EMA20 + Cam S1) is the line in the sand for the bull case.

TMUS, BKNG, DASH, WDAY, INTU, MELI — All confirmed bear-all stacks; INTU and WDAY remain >50% off their 52w highs. Dead-money zones — avoid until structure changes.

Index breadth caveat: Today's record high was carried by GOOGL and QCOM. If those two reverse next session and breadth doesn't rotate in, the high becomes a failed breakout candidate.

NAS100 Daily Technical Analysis - Wednesday 29 April 2026
Data: Close 29 Apr 2026 | NAS100: 27,186.98 | Change: +157.97 (+0.59%) | Range: 26,995.38 - 27,199.72 | VIX: 18.81 (+0.98) | QQQ: $661.57 (+0.61%)



MARKET OVERVIEW

The NAS100 closed up 158 points at 27,186.98 on Fed decision day, recovering most of yesterday's pre-FOMC slide and ending within 119 points (-0.43%) of the all-time high at 27,305.68 set on Monday. Tech outperformed the broader tape decisively: while the Dow fell 280 points (-0.57%) under the weight of Iran-related oil rallies and the S&P 500 ticked down 0.04% to 7,135.95, the QQQ tracker added +0.61% to $661.57. Breadth in the 40 NASDAQ-tracked names was constructive at 23 advancers vs 17 decliners with average move +0.30%.

The Fed left rates unchanged at 3.50-3.75% but the 8-4 dissent vote (the widest split since October 1992) injected volatility - the VIX climbed back to 18.81 (+5.5%) as traders position ahead of the Mag 7 earnings gauntlet. MSFT, GOOGL, META and AMZN all reported after the bell tonight, with AAPL on deck Thursday.

Bias: BULLISH - tape is constructive, semis are leading, EMA stack is fully aligned, but RSI(14) at 70.4 on NDX is at the overbought line and earnings risk dominates the next 48 hours.



NDX TREND ANALYSIS

EMA Stack (Daily): Close 27,187 > EMA20 26,136 > EMA50 25,455 > EMA200 24,426. FULL BULLISH ALIGNMENT - the textbook stair-step. Price is +1,051 points (+4.0%) above EMA20 and +2,761 points (+11.3%) above EMA200.

Market Structure: Higher highs and higher lows since the early-April pivot. Monday's 27,305 print was the most recent ATH; today's high of 27,199 was a lower high but the close near session highs (-22 points off DH) is a sign of demand absorbing supply.

Phase: Mature uptrend transitioning into earnings-driven consolidation. The 26,995-27,315 box has held for three sessions. A close above 27,316 opens 27,500 air; a close below 27,000 brings EMA20 (26,136) back into focus.

Indicator Snapshot (NDX daily):
RSI(14): 70.4 - just at the overbought threshold but no negative divergence yet
MACD: +713.4 vs Signal +584.0, histogram +129.4 - bullish, expanding
Price vs EMA200: +11.3% - well-positioned, no over-extension flag yet



KEY NDX INDEX LEVELS

Resistance:
R1: 27,200 - today's high; daily breakout level
R2: 27,305-27,315 - Monday's ATH; record high to reclaim
R3: 27,500 - psychological round number, untested air

Support:
S1: 27,000 - psychological round + today's low (26,995)
S2: 26,800-26,760 - last week's defended pivot; bullish trend holds above
S3: 26,136 - daily EMA20; primary uptrend invalidation if lost on close

BEARISH WARNINGS

REGN -6.21% on rv 2.53x - RSI 29.3, bear stack, MACD widening to downside. Pierces volume POC (760.28); now -16.4% from 52w high. Avoid until reclaims EMA20 (745).

ISRG -2.75% - RSI 43.0, full bear stack, close below POC (477.87). 52w drawdown -24.8%. No bottom structure visible.

MELI -1.39% - bear stack, drawdown -33.2% from 52w high. MACD bearish cross. Watch 1,725 lower band.

TSLA -0.86% - now in confirmed bear stack: Close 372.80 < EMA20 (376.72) < EMA50 (385.99) < EMA200 (389.85). POC (388.72) overhead. Loss of 270 brings 52w low into focus.

NFLX -0.12% - 31.3% off 52w high, RSI 41.1, full bear stack. Multi-month rolling top intact.

ADBE +0.15% - bear stack, 42.4% off 52w high. Capex/AI displacement narrative still pricing in. EMA200 = 310.79 is a long way up.

INTU/WDAY - both deep bear stacks. WDAY 55.6% off 52w high, INTU 51.5% off. Software-as-a-service capex compression.



EVENTS CALENDAR

After-hours TODAY (29 Apr): MSFT, GOOGL, META, AMZN earnings. Mag 7 quartet in an 80-second window. Markets pricing approx 4-5% implied moves on each.

Thursday 30 Apr: AAPL earnings after the close (the largest single-day catalyst remaining this week). Pre-market: Q1 GDP (advance estimate). Initial Jobless Claims.

Friday 1 May: PCE inflation (Fed's preferred gauge), Personal Income/Spending. ISM Manufacturing PMI.

Macro overhang: Iran tensions keeping oil bid - watch crude as a daily NDX correlation. Fed dissent (8-4) signals end of easing bias for some hawks; further rate-cut pricing depends on inflation data.

Other tracked names reporting this week: PYPL (29 Apr), CEG (Thursday session), MAR (Thu morning), ABNB and BKNG next week.



SUMMARY

NDX is bullish into the hardest 48 hours of the earnings cycle. EMA stack pristine, semis leading, breadth positive, but RSI(14) at 70.4 and the 27,300 ceiling argue for selectivity, not aggression. Best swing names are inside semis (AMD, MU, ADI) and CSCO; mega-cap names should be traded only on confirmed earnings reactions tomorrow morning. Bears continue to be paid in REGN, ISRG, NFLX, ADBE, TSLA - leave them shorted-or-avoided until structure reclaims. Above 27,000, the bulls own the tape. Below 26,800, EMA20 (26,136) is the line in the sand.

NAS100 Daily Technical Analysis - Tuesday 28 April 2026
Data: Close 28 Apr 2026 | NAS100: ~27,030 | Change: -276 (-1.01%) | Range: 26,950-27,310 | VIX: 18.02



MARKET OVERVIEW

The Nasdaq 100 closed lower by approximately 1.01%, snapping back from record territory after a Wall Street Journal report flagged that OpenAI is missing internal targets for both weekly active users and revenue. That single catalyst rippled through every AI-linked semiconductor name and dragged the entire chip complex with it - the PHLX Semiconductor Index fell nearly 5% on the session.

Mega-cap tech held up far better than the chip cohort. Of the 40 NAS100 constituents we track, only 9 closed green and 31 closed red, but the breadth disguises an unusual split: software and consumer names absorbed the news with shallow declines while semiconductors took the brunt of it. AAPL +1.16%, MSFT +1.07% and INTU +2.68% all advanced, with WDAY (+2.84%) the day's best performer in our universe.

The session sits inside a major event window. The FOMC two-day meeting concludes Wednesday at 2pm ET (expected hold at 3.50-3.75%, third consecutive pause). MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN and META all report after the bell on 29 Apr. AAPL reports after the bell on 30 Apr. With four of the Magnificent Seven on deck inside 24 hours, intraday volatility risk is materially elevated.

Bias: Neutral-to-cautious. Underlying trend remains intact (25 of 40 stocks bullish on EMAs, 30/40 above their POC) but the AI capex narrative has cracked. Direction will be set by the MSFT/GOOGL/AMZN/META earnings prints and Powell's tone.



TREND ANALYSIS

EMA stack (NAS100 components):
- Bull (above all 3 EMAs): 21 of 40 stocks (52.5%)
- Bull (above 20/50, below 200): 4 of 40
- Bear (below all 3 EMAs): 9 of 40 (22.5%)
- Bear (below 20/50, above 200): 1 of 40
- Mixed/Recovery: 5 of 40

Market structure: The index made a fresh leg high last week and today's pullback so far looks corrective rather than impulsive. Higher highs / higher lows still intact on daily timeframe. The 27,158 session low did not breach the prior swing low.

Phase: Trending pullback into a major catalyst window. Whether this becomes a deeper correction or a buyable dip is a binary call on tomorrow's tech earnings.



INDICATOR SIGNALS

RSI (14): 7 of 40 stocks overbought above 70 (AMZN 73.7, QCOM 73.7, AMD 73.5, TXN 72.6, MRVL 71.7, GOOGL 71.1, NVDA 70.. Zero stocks oversold. The OB cluster sat in the names that got hit hardest today - profit-taking from extended levels.

MACD: 31 of 40 stocks have MACD line above signal (bullish), only 9 below. Even on a -1% NAS100 day, the MACD picture has not flipped bearish across most components. Where MACD turned negative today: AMAT (line crossed below signal), COST, NFLX, BKNG, LRCX, ORLY.

Volume: Sector-specific. Relative volume above average on the breakdowns (AMAT rv 1.74, KLAC 1.47, CDNS 1.95) - the selling was real money, not algo noise. AMD, MU and KLAC all hit volume well above 20-day average.

TOP SWING TRADE SETUPS

1. AAPL - Pre-Earnings Strength (LONG bias)
Apple printed a fresh leg higher (+1.16%) into Thursday's print, holding above all three EMAs (e20 265.0, e50 262.3, e200 253.5) with RSI 58 (room above) and MACD widening positively. Close 270.71 sits +2.96% above the 60-day POC at 262.70 - real demand, not just bid-following. AAPL is one of only 9 NAS100 stocks that closed green on a -1% tape. ATR 5.87.
Entry: 269-271 (current zone) | Stop: 263 (under POC and EMA50) | T1: 277 (R3 + measured) | T2: 285 (close to 52wH 288.62) | R:R: 1:1.9
Caveat: Earnings 30 Apr - size accordingly or close before the print.

2. MSFT - Recovery Pre-Earnings (LONG bias)
MSFT MACD diff +4.06 - the strongest software-bull MACD spread in our universe ex-AMD. Close 429.37 is +7.35% above POC 397.82 and RSI 65 confirms momentum. The "Mixed" EMA tag is because price still sits below e200 (441.58) but above e20 (407.41) and e50 (405.99) - this is a recovery pattern setting up a potential e200 reclaim attempt.
Entry: 425-430 | Stop: 416 (under classic S3 416.19) | T1: 442 (e200 reclaim) | T2: 460 (round + 2x ATR) | R:R: 1:2.3
Caveat: Earnings tomorrow after the bell - this is a trade for after the print, not before.

3. AMAT - Breakdown Continuation (SHORT bias)
The cleanest bearish setup on the board. AMAT -5.93% on rv 1.74, MACD just flipped negative (line crossed below signal), and the move was a high-volume distribution day. Stock has reverted from above all EMAs to "Mixed" and 52wH now -9.4% away. ATR-implied stop reasonable.
Entry: 380-384 (sell rallies into resistance) | Stop: 397 (back above session pivot) | T1: 365 (next demand shelf) | T2: 350 (psychological + measured move) | R:R: 1:1.9
Caveat: If broader chip sentiment recovers on MSFT/GOOGL guidance, semis snap back fast.

4. WDAY - Bounce Off Multi-Year Lows (LONG bias)
WDAY +2.84% is the only "Bear (below all)" stock in the top gainer list - that's significant. Currently -56% from 52wH 275.97 and trading 11.4% below POC 136.63 - the sentiment is washed out. MACD has crossed bullish (diff +0.49) and RSI lifted to 45 from oversold zone. Counter-trend swing - keep size small.
Entry: 119-122 | Stop: 114 (under recent low) | T1: 130 (1st resistance shelf) | T2: 137 (POC reclaim test) | R:R: 1:2.5
Caveat: Bear-trend bounce. Trail aggressively and exit if it fails to hold above 119.

5. TSLA - Continued Downtrend (SHORT bias)
TSLA is the only Mag7 in the "Bear (below all)" bucket. EMA stack 20<50<200 fully bearish, sub-POC, RSI 49 with no momentum. Close 376.02 is -24.6% from 52wH. MACD diff is positive (+1.85) - that's the only thing keeping me from sizing larger.
Entry: 379-383 (sell into rallies) | Stop: 392 (above last bounce high) | T1: 360 | T2: 345 | R:R: 1:1.7
Caveat: Still bid-prone on any AI/robotaxi headline. Tight management essential.



INTRADAY SETUPS (Pivot / Camarilla)

NVDA - Camarilla Range Trade
Tight Camarilla band: Cam S3 211.27, Cam R3 214.87. Stock closed 213.07 mid-range. Range trade until breakout.
Long: Buy 211.50-211.80, stop 209.40 (below S4 209.48), T1 213.50, T2 214.70 | R:R: 1:1.5
Short: Fade 214.50-214.70, stop 215.20, T1 213.00, T2 211.50 | R:R: 1:1.4

AMAT - Camarilla Breakdown
Cam S4 376.84 is the breakdown pivot. If price breaks under this on volume, expect continuation toward classic S2.
Short: Break-and-retest of 376-377, stop 382, T1 370, T2 363 | R:R: 1:2.3
Caveat: If no break by mid-session, no trade.

MSFT - Pivot Bounce (LONG)
Classic pivot 427.06 sits just below close 429.37. Buying the pivot bounce ahead of earnings is high-conviction if held.
Entry: 426.50-427.50 bounce | Stop: 423 (below classic S1 424.21) | T1: 432 (R1) | T2: 435 (R2) | R:R: 1:1.5
Caveat: AVOID holding into 4pm ET - earnings after the bell.

AAPL - Camarilla R3 Breakout (LONG)
Cam R3 271.97 just overhead from close 270.71. Tight setup for trend day.
Entry: Break of 272.10 on volume | Stop: 269.30 (below S3 area) | T1: 273.20 (Cam R4) | T2: 275.40 (R2) | R:R: 1:1.7

CEG - Cam S3 Breakdown (SHORT)
CEG -3% with weakening structure. Camarilla setup tight - Cam S3 to S4 zone is the watch level for breakdown continuation.
Entry: On confirmed break and retest of S1 304 | Stop: 309 | T1: 298 | T2: 293 | R:R: 1:2.2

BEARISH WARNINGS

Distribution day in semiconductors. AMAT, KLAC, AVGO, MU, AMD, CDNS, LRCX, MRVL all printed -3% or worse on the day. The PHLX Semi index reportedly fell ~5%. When the leadership group sells off this hard on a single news catalyst, the question is whether MSFT/GOOGL guidance tomorrow can rebuild the AI capex thesis, or whether sentiment fully shifts.

MACD bear flips today: AMAT, COST, NFLX, BKNG, LRCX, ORLY, REGN. NFLX in particular is now -31.2% from 52wH and MACD-negative - structurally damaged.

RSI overbought concentration: 7 stocks RSI > 70 (AMZN, QCOM, AMD, TXN, MRVL, GOOGL, NVDA). All are major AI/cloud names, all still vulnerable to additional profit-taking if tomorrow's earnings disappoint. AMZN at RSI 73.7 is most exposed.

TSLA structural weakness: Only Mag7 with full bearish EMA stack and below POC. -24.6% from 52wH.

Counter-trend rally suspects: WDAY, INTU, ADBE all popped 1.5-2.8% but remain in "Bear (below all)" or "Bear" EMA configurations. These are bounces in downtrends until proven otherwise - especially INTU at -50.8% from 52wH.



EVENTS CALENDAR

Wed 29 Apr 2026:
- FOMC rate decision 2pm ET (consensus: hold at 3.50-3.75%, third consecutive pause)
- Powell press conference 2:30pm ET (likely his final meeting as Chair)
- After-bell earnings: MSFT, GOOGL, AMZN, META
- Watch metrics: AWS growth (need >20%), Azure/Cloud growth, AI capex commentary, Gemini and Copilot revenue contribution

Thu 30 Apr 2026:
- After-bell earnings: AAPL
- Watch: iPhone units, services revenue, China commentary, Tim Cook transition (steps down 1 Sep 2026, John Ternus succeeds)

Other macro: US-China chip export control headlines remain the macro overhang. Iran energy disruption pushing inflation higher feeds into hawkish Fed risk in the medium term.



SUMMARY

A controlled, news-driven pullback dressed as a chip selloff. Underlying breadth and trend remain intact - 25 of 40 NAS100 stocks still bullish on EMA stack, 30 of 40 above POC, 31 of 40 still MACD-positive. The damage today was concentrated in semiconductors and centred on a single OpenAI revenue concern.

The next 48 hours are a binary catalyst window. MSFT/GOOGL/AMZN/META earnings tomorrow night and AAPL on Thursday will either restore the AI capex narrative or accelerate the rotation. Powell's tone at 2:30pm ET tomorrow is the macro overlay.

Trading framework: Reduce size into the catalysts. Long bias if NAS100 holds above 26,900 and tomorrow's earnings beat with constructive guidance. Bear bias only if NAS100 closes below 26,500 with semis breaking down further.

NASDAQ 100 Daily Technical Analysis - Monday, 27 April 2026
Data: Close 2026-04-27 | NAS100 (NDX): 27,305.68 | Change: +2.01 (+0.01%) | Range: 27,206-27,395 | VIX: 19.03



MARKET OVERVIEW

The NASDAQ 100 finished essentially flat at a fresh all-time-high zone, holding the round-number 27,300 level into a heavy event week. The S&P 500 and Composite both notched record closes, while the Dow lagged, signalling that rotation favours growth and tech ahead of Big Tech earnings (MSFT/META/GOOGL/AMZN on Wed, AAPL on Thu) and the FOMC decision on Wednesday (markets pricing ~85% probability of a hold at 3.50-3.75%).

The session was bifurcated. BULLISH memory and AI infrastructure names led — MU +5.60% to 524.56 on memory-cycle buying, NVDA +4.00% to 216.61 (fresh 52-week high), GOOGL +1.72% near 52w highs ahead of earnings. BEARISH action concentrated in semis equipment and consumer/cloud — AMD -3.83%, MRVL -3.71%, TMUS -3.71%, LRCX -3.07%, AMAT -2.92%.

Bias: Cautiously bullish at the index level, but exposed to event risk. The internal rotation out of overbought semis and into mega-cap tech is healthy — but RSI extension across 5+ chip names argues for tactical patience rather than chasing.



TREND ANALYSIS

EMA Stack Distribution (40 stocks):
- Bull (above all 20/50/200): 24/40
- Bull (above 20/50, below 200): 5/40
- Mixed/Recovery: 3/40
- Bear (below 20/50, above 200): 1/40
- Bear (below all 20/50/200): 7/40

Market Structure: The index is making higher highs and higher lows on the daily — classic uptrend. Internal breadth shows 29 of 40 components in some form of bullish stack (24 fully aligned), confirming the NDX is not running on a thin handful of names. The 27,000 level was tested and held intraday, marking a key swing-low pivot.

Phase: Late-stage trend with rotation. Semis are in the parabolic/distribution phase (10/10 above all EMAs but with avg RSI 71.7), while consumer/internet (4 of 10 in bear stack) is the lagging cohort. Software is bifurcated heading into reports.



INDICATOR SIGNALS

RSI(14) - NDX estimated ~64 (strong, not yet overbought): At the component level, 5 stocks are above RSI 75 (AMD 80.2, MRVL 78.2, TXN 76.5, NVDA 76.3, AMZN 75. — a cluster suggesting near-term exhaustion in semis. Two are at washed-out extremes (TMUS 31.3, NFLX 38.. The remaining majority sits in the 50-70 healthy-trend zone.

MACD: 18 of 40 components show positive MACD with line above signal — a constructive but not euphoric reading. Notable widening histograms on PANW (+1.84), MU (+9.58), KLAC (+15.10), SNPS (+9.42), MELI (+6.48). MACD compression visible on AAPL and MAR — wait-and-see.

Volume: Relative volume mostly subdued (rv < 1.0 on 28/40 names). KLAC printed rv 1.32 — institutional accumulation. Light-volume drift higher into earnings is typical and not a confirmation issue.



KEY NAS100 INDEX LEVELS

Resistance:
- 27,500: round-number psychological resistance, untested
- 27,395: today's intraday high, immediate ceiling
- 27,350: pivot R1 zone

Support:
- 27,200: today's low, first defence
- 27,000: round number, prior breakout level
- 26,800: 20-day EMA support

Pivot Framework (estimated for tomorrow):
Classic: S2 27,110 - S1 27,205 - Pivot 27,302 - R1 27,400 - R2 27,495

SECTOR ROTATION SUMMARY

Mega-cap Tech (7 stocks): avg day +0.65% | avg RSI 65.0 | 86% bullish stack | LEADING
Semiconductors (10 stocks): avg day -1.44% | avg RSI 71.7 | 100% bullish stack | LAGGING

Reading: Mega-cap Tech and Industrial/Other (CEG, LIN) leading on the day. Software bifurcated (cyber names like PANW/CRWD/FTNT bullish; ADBE/INTU/WDAY weak). Semis took a profit-taking day after extending. Consumer/Internet remains the cohort to avoid for now — TMUS, NFLX, BKNG, ORLY all in bear stacks.

Why: Coiling above EMA50 (261.92) and EMA200 (253.28) with bullish stack. RSI 55.3 neutral, MACD +1.03. Earnings Thursday after-hours - hold daytime only.
Setup: Long the bounce off Pivot (267.02) or S1 (265.67)
Entry: 267.02 · Stop: 265.67 · T1: R1 268.96 · T2: R2 270.31

Oversold Mean-Reversion Bounce - TMUS (LONG-COUNTER)
Why: Closed -3.71% with RSI at 31.3 (extreme low). Bear stack so this is COUNTER-TREND only. Look for a Cam S3 (180.42) tag and reversal candle. Tight stop required.
Setup: Long the bounce off Pivot (185.08) or S1 (179.68)
Entry: 185.08 · Stop: 179.68 · T1: R1 188.14 · T2: R2 193.54

Pre-Earnings Range Fade - META (RANGE)
Why: Earnings Wednesday — daytime trade only. Cam S3-R3 range looks tight. Above-pivot bias given bull stack and MACD +5.26. Avoid holding overnight.
Range: Cam S3 (675.41) to Cam R3 (681.83) - fade extremes
Long at: 675.41 · Stop: 672.21 · Target: Pivot 677.32
Short at: 681.83 · Stop: 685.03 · Target: Pivot 677.32

Bearish Continuation Breakdown - NFLX (SHORT)
Why: Bear stack on all EMAs. Closed -1.17% at 91.36, RSI 38.8. Break of Cam S4 (90.51) targets S1 (90.83) then S2 (90.29). Use only with index roll-over.
Trigger: Break and hold below Cam S4 (90.51)
Entry: 90.51 · Stop: 90.94 · T1: S1 90.83 · T2: S2 90.29

Friday 24 April 2026 — NASDAQ 100 Daily Review
Data: Close 2026-04-24 | NAS100: 26,937.28 | Change: +458 pts (+1.73%) | Session High: 27,286.45 (fresh all-time high) | VIX: 18.87



Market Overview
The NAS100 closed at a fresh all-time high of 26,937.28, up +1.73% on the session after Intel's blowout Q1 print and blockbuster Q2 guidance ($13.8-14.8bn vs $13.0bn est.) re-ignited the semiconductor complex for an 18th straight session. The rally was broad but semi-led: AMD +13.91% on 2.10x relative volume, QCOM +11.12% on 2.74x RV, and the equipment names (KLAC, LRCX, AMAT) all pushed against multi-year highs. The mega-cap complex participated modestly - NVDA +4.30%, AMZN +3.47%, META +2.41%, MSFT +2.13%, GOOGL +1.63% - ahead of a critical earnings week (MSFT/META 29 Apr, AMZN/GOOGL 29 Apr, AAPL 30 Apr).

Overall bias: BULLISH. 33 of 40 tracked NAS100 components trade above their EMA20 and EMA50 (24 above all three EMAs). Only 5 are in full bearish structure (WDAY, TSLA, NFLX, TMUS, INTU). Structure is late-cycle extended but intact.



Trend Analysis
EMA Stack: The index holds a clean bullish stack - price > EMA20 > EMA50 > EMA200 on the daily. Every major sector (Mega-cap Tech, Semis, Software, Consumer) registers a net positive bullish classification.
Market Structure: Higher highs, higher lows. Today's close is a fresh 52-week closing high. Intraday print tagged 27,286.45 before giving back ~349 points into the close - classic profit-taking into record territory.
Phase: Trending bullish, over-extended. RSI on the index > 70 historically signals optimism but also reversion risk. Breadth is the watch item: if further gains come with just 5-6 semi names leading, treat it as a distribution warning.



Indicator Signals
RSI(14): NAS100 > 70 — overbought but within an accelerating trend. 13 of 40 components now print RSI > 70, up from 6 yesterday.
MACD: Index MACD reads +269.5 with histogram expanding - still clean long signal, no cross brewing.
Volume: Above-average across semis (AMD 2.10x, QCOM 2.74x, SNPS 1.67x). Mega-caps ran lighter volume - tape waiting for next week's prints.



Key NAS100 Index Levels
Resistance
- 27,286 - today's intraday high / all-time high (must-hold ceiling for bulls)
- 27,500 - round-number psychological magnet if 27,286 gives way
- 27,750 - measured-move extension from the April base

Support
- 26,700 - prior breakout shelf, first buy-the-dip line
- 26,480 - yesterday's close / gap-fill zone
- 26,100 - EMA20 on daily, deeper dip buy
- 25,500 - EMA50 on daily, bull-case invalidation on daily close below

Sector Grouping
Semiconductors (avg +4.21%, 9/9 bullish) - AMD, QCOM, TXN, AMAT, MU, LRCX, KLAC, ADI, MRVL. The clear leadership group. Every name in bullish EMA stack. RSI extended across the board (KLAC 75.7, AMD 88.9, MRVL 87.3, TXN 83.6, AVGO 77.. Sustainability depends on NVDA holding 52w highs next week.
Mega-cap Tech (avg +1.96%, 7/7 bullish) - AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, AMZN, META, GOOGL, AVGO. All bullish stacks, AMZN and NVDA at/near 52w highs. AAPL the lone red name (-0.87%) on valuation rotation.
Software/Cloud (avg +3.95%, 5/8 bullish) - SNPS +9.62% and CDNS +5.90% led the EDA complex; CRWD, PANW, FTNT all bullish. Laggards: ADBE (mixed), INTU and WDAY (bearish structure, but WDAY caught a +4.44% relief bounce).
Consumer/Internet (avg +0.49%, 8/10 bullish) - BKNG, MELI, MAR, ABNB, ORLY, DASH, PYPL green or bullish-structured. TSLA and NFLX remain the weak links in bearish stacks. COST -0.32% pausing at 52w high.
Healthcare/Biotech (avg -0.59%, 1/2 bullish) - REGN -1.89% back below EMA20/50, ISRG holding a 20/50 reclaim but still sub-EMA200. The weakest sub-group on the index.
Industrial/Other (avg +1.45%, 3/4 bullish) - CEG +7.08% on big volume reclaim of EMA200, CSCO and LIN holding 52w-high structure. TMUS is the sector drag, sub-everything.

Bearish Warnings
BEARISH TMUS - Full bearish EMA stack, RSI 37.1, MACD -4.47/-4.20, close $189.80 (-2.20%) only $8.44 off 52w low. Phone-carrier space rotating out on rate/subscriber concerns.
BEARISH NFLX - Bear(all), RSI 40.6, close $92.36 below all EMAs. Ad-tier growth deceleration priced in but momentum still sub-50D.
BEARISH TSLA - Bear(all), RSI 48.9 neutral but MACD negative (-0.28/-3.27). Close $376.30 below EMA20/50/200; 52w low $249 nowhere near but trend is broken.
BEARISH INTU - Bear(all), RSI 46.4. MACD deeply negative (-10.02/-12.71). Close $395.95 is 51.3% off 52w high $813.70 - epic breakdown still unwinding.
BEARISH WDAY - Bear(all) despite today's +4.44% bounce. RSI 42.8. Close $119.76 vs EMA200 $185.71 - bounce is countertrend until EMA50 ($136.91) reclaims.
BEARISH REGN - Bear(20/50), rolling off from a fading rally. RSI 48.2, close $751.57 below EMA20 ($754.73) and EMA50 ($756.57). Below-POC signal confirmed.

Divergence watch: AMD, MRVL, TXN and AVGO all register RSI > 77 while price sits at/near 52w highs - any price weakness while RSI fails to confirm would flag classic bearish divergence. Size-down add-ons until RSI cools or a clean pullback-and-reclaim forms.



Events Calendar — Week of 27 April 2026
Earnings (tracked names):
- Tue 28 Apr: Meta (META)
- Wed 29 Apr: Microsoft (MSFT), Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN)
- Thu 30 Apr: Apple (AAPL)
- Also due: BKNG, PYPL, META, PANW reports across the week - check earnings.com for time slots

Macro

- Thu 30 Apr: Q1 GDP Advance (first read) + Initial Jobless Claims, PCE Deflator, ECI
- FOMC: Next decision 6 May - no Fed speakers in blackout heading into it

Trading stance into event risk: Trimming overbought swing longs and rolling into defined-risk option structures through Wed/Thu makes sense given 5 mega-caps print. A clean beat from the MSFT/GOOGL/AMZN trio probably extends the breakout to 27,500+. A disappointment from any single one of them is the single biggest downside catalyst.

NASDAQ 100 Daily Technical Analysis - Thursday 23 April 2026
Data: Close 2026-04-23 | Nasdaq Composite: 24,438.50 | Change: -219 pts (-0.89%) | VIX: 18.92



MARKET OVERVIEW
A two-speed Nasdaq today. Software was crushed after weak updates from IBM (-10.3%) and ServiceNow (-15% to -18%), reigniting fears that generative AI is eating into SaaS growth. Analog and memory chips, by contrast, ripped higher after a blockbuster Texas Instruments print. Of the 40 NAS100 names in our scanner, 27 closed lower and only 13 higher, yet the aggregate tape still held together because the heaviest weights (AAPL, GOOGL, AMZN, AVGO, NVDA) stayed close to the flatline.

Key drivers: TXN +19.43% lifted the semis complex; ADI +5.89%, MRVL +5.24%, AMD +0.62% all piggy-backed. Software was the clear loser: WDAY -9.42%, ADBE -6.63%, INTU -6.21%, CDNS -5.21%, FTNT -4.97%, PANW -4.41%, MSFT -3.97%. Oil surged on renewed Iran geopolitical tension, lifting VIX intraday toward 20 before settling at 18.92.

Overall bias: Still structurally bullish (22 of 40 Bull above all three EMAs, 37 of 40 MACD positive) but short-term tape is defensive and rotational. Treat this as a sector-divergence day, not a trend break.



TREND ANALYSIS
Aggregate EMA stack (40 names):
Bull (above all three) - 22 stocks: AAPL, ABNB, ADI, AMAT, AMD, AMZN, AVGO, CDNS, COST, CRWD, CSCO, GOOGL, KLAC, LIN, LRCX, MAR, META, MRVL, MU, NVDA, REGN, TXN
Bull (above 20/50 but below 200) - 7 stocks: DASH, FTNT, MSFT, ORLY, PANW, PYPL, SNPS
Bear (below all three) - 7 stocks: ADBE, BKNG, INTU, NFLX, TMUS, TSLA, WDAY
Mixed - 4 stocks: CEG, ISRG, MELI, QCOM

Market structure remains a higher-low, higher-high daily trend on the aggregate; today's red candle is shallow versus recent gains and did not break the 20-day EMA on most leaders. Current phase: Consolidation inside an uptrend, with a clear sector rotation out of software and into chips.



INDICATOR SIGNALS
RSI(14): Six names in overbought territory (>=70): ADI 80.3, AMD 83.6, AMZN 76.4, AVGO 77.2, MRVL 89.2, TXN 88.6. Zero names oversold. Watch for mean-reversion pullbacks on the chip leaders; none of them show bearish price/RSI divergence yet but the elastic is stretched.

MACD: 37 of 40 with line above signal - overwhelmingly bullish momentum despite the red tape. Only TSLA, NFLX, and ADBE show MACD line below signal in combination with a negative histogram. INTU, WDAY, and BKNG are below signal too but already in recovery posture.

Volume: Above-average print on the main movers - TXN RelVol 3.62 (huge), ADBE 1.80, WDAY 1.69, AMD/MRVL around 1.1-1.2. Selling in software came with volume, which matters; chip rallies came with conviction too.



KEY LEVELS - NASDAQ 100 INDEX
Resistance:
R1 - 27,000 round-number psychological (first pivot above 22-Apr 26,937 close)
R2 - 27,300 prior swing high from early April
R3 - 27,650 all-time-high zone

Support:
S1 - 26,700 today's estimated intraday low and 20-day EMA proxy
S2 - 26,400 rising 50-day EMA area
S3 - 26,000 March consolidation shelf and major line in the sand

Classic pivots (proxy from 26,937 Apr 22 close): S2 ~26,580 · S1 ~26,760 · P ~26,890 · R1 ~27,070 · R2 ~27,200



SECTOR GROUPING
Semiconductors - LEADING
NVDA, AVGO, AMD, TXN, ADI, AMAT, LRCX, KLAC, MU, MRVL, QCOM, MCHP-proxy
Group is ripping. TXN's guidance raise, ADI's sympathy move, AMD and AVGO sitting on Bull-above-all with strong MACD. Seven of the twelve chip names in our list have RSI above 60.

Software / Cloud - LAGGING
MSFT, ADBE, CRWD, INTU, PANW, WDAY, SNPS, CDNS, FTNT, PYPL
The weakest pocket of the Nasdaq today. Four of the ten are now Bear-below-all or Bear-below-20/50. Scan for rejection patterns at prior support before trying to bottom-fish.

Mega-cap Tech - STABLE
AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, AMZN, META, GOOGL
Muted action. AAPL +0.10%, GOOGL -0.13%, AMZN -0.11% - the largest names held the line while mid-cap software sold off. MSFT is the only weak link among the megacaps today.

Consumer / Internet - MIXED TO WEAK
TSLA -3.56%, BKNG -1.48%, ABNB -1.60%, MELI -2.78%, DASH -2.89%, NFLX -0.45%, MAR +0.31%, PYPL -2.87%

Healthcare / Biotech - DEFENSIVE BID
REGN +2.60%, ISRG -0.99%. Biotech catching a rotation bid as growth money exits software.

Industrial / Other - FIRM
LIN +2.72%, CEG +1.95%, COST +1.06% - boring names doing well on a risk-rotation day.



TOP SWING TRADE SETUPS

1. TXN - Post-Earnings Momentum Long (Wait for Pullback)
Trend: BULLISH - gap above all EMAs, fresh 52-week high at 284.12, MACD explosively bullish, RSI 88.6 overbought.
Setup: Blow-off move on 3.62x relative volume. Do NOT chase. Wait for a pullback to the breakout zone.
Entry: 268-272 (prior resistance now support, above Cam S4 268.58) · Stop: 263 (below EMA20 221 ATR buffer tight) · T1: 284 (retest high) · T2: 300 (classic R2) · R:R: 1:2.6
Why: Stifel flipped Hold to Buy with 250 target, TD Cowen Buy with 250, Mizuho upgraded. Analog upcycle thesis. POC 214.51 is now a distant floor, proving the structural shift. Risk: RSI 88 = dip first.

2. ADI - Sympathy Chip Continuation
Trend: BULLISH - Bull above all, fresh 52w high, EMA20 354 / EMA50 335 / EMA200 288, MACD 16.89/10.91.
Entry: 398-402 (classic S1 397 / pivot 402) · Stop: 388 (below Camarilla S4 + ATR 11.5) · T1: 415 (R2) · T2: 425 · R:R: 1:1.8
Why: ADI is the natural sympathy trade to TXN - same analog/industrial demand drivers, less extended RSI at 80. POC 333 well below price; price discovery zone is intact.

3. AVGO - Trend Continuation on Pullback
Trend: BULLISH - EMA stack wide, MACD 24.42/17.61, RSI 77 still has room.
Entry: 410-413 (classic S2 410.84 confluence with Cam S4 413.61) · Stop: 403 (below prior daily low 417 minus ATR 12.52) · T1: 427 (R1) · T2: 440 (round number above 52w high) · R:R: 1:2.1
Why: Only modestly red today (-0.64%) versus broad tape weakness - relative strength signal. Volume muted (RelVol 0.82) - sellers are not pressing.

4. MU - Memory Recovery Long
Trend: BULLISH - Bull above all, EMA200 296 vs price 481.72 (massive), MACD 20.62/12.82, RSI 66.2.
Entry: 470-475 (above POC 408 and rising 20-EMA) · Stop: 455 (1 ATR below entry) · T1: 493 (52w high retest) · T2: 510 · R:R: 1:1.9
Why: RSI 66 and MACD rising - less extended than TXN/ADI/MRVL, still in the chip leadership basket. Best chip pick if you do not want to chase extension.

5. WDAY - Short Rallies
Trend: BEARISH - Bear below all, close 114.67 just above 52w low 110.36, MACD -3.70/-4.50, RSI 36.9.
Entry: Short 119-121 (classic R1/R2 118-121 confluence with EMA20 125) · Stop: 126 (above EMA20) · T1: 111 (52w low) · T2: 103 (S3 classic) · R:R: 1:1.7
Why: Today's candle is a -9.42% gap-down with 1.69x RelVol. Guidance genuinely disappointed. Bear flag entries at prior-support-turned-resistance favour shorts until the daily close back above EMA20.



INTRADAY SETUPS (Pivot / Camarilla)

Camarilla Breakout Short - TSLA
Bear below all. Close 373.72 right on Cam S1 372.11 - break of Cam S4 364.03 signals trend-day.
Entry: Short on hourly close below 364.00 · Stop: 370.50 (above Cam S2) · T1: 358.43 (classic S2) · T2: 348.46 (classic S3) · Direction: SHORT · R:R: 1:2.4

Reversal Scalp Long - META
Pulled back but still Bull-above-20/50 and just reclaiming EMA200 651 from below. Cam S1 657.64 / Classic S1 651.61 confluence.

BEARISH WARNINGS
WDAY - Close 114.67 is only 3.9% above 52w low 110.36. Death-cross stack EMA20 < EMA50 < EMA200 all above price. Fresh -9.42% gap with 1.69x volume confirms breakdown.
INTU - Down 52.9% from 52w high. Bear stack and negative MACD histogram widening. No reversal signal yet - do not bottom-fish.
ADBE - Bear below all. MACD negative. Close 238.98 only 6.6% above 52w low 224.13. AI-cannibalisation narrative is now the dominant driver.
NFLX - Bear below all EMAs, 30.8% off 52w high. RSI 41 with MACD crossing back down (0.55 / 1.99) - watch for break of daily low 92.07 as continuation signal.
TSLA - Bear below all. Down 3.56% with MACD negative and accelerating. Key line: close below Cam S4 364 opens 350 then 340.
Overbought risk: TXN 88, MRVL 89, AMD 83, ADI 80, AVGO 77, AMZN 76. Any one of these can snap back 5-8% on a quiet-volume session. Size positions accordingly.



EVENTS CALENDAR - NEXT 48 HOURS
Fri 24 Apr: Durable Goods Orders (Mar, Advance), University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment (Final). Both market-moving, both pre-open US.

Monday-Tuesday 27-28 Apr earnings to watch in the NAS100: No confirmed major NAS100 prints during Friday session - quiet day for single-stock catalysts inside the index after this week's heavy tech calendar. Full tech earnings slate resumes next week.

Geopolitical overlay: Iran tensions continue to support oil and volatility. WTI pushed near $91/bbl during the session. A further escalation would weigh on risk-assets overall and likely hit software/consumer more than chips.
