NASDAQ 100 Daily Technical Analysis & Setups

NAS100 Daily Technical Analysis — Friday 17 April 2026
Data: Close 17-Apr-2026 | NAS100 (NDX) session range: 26,114 - 26,401 | Nasdaq Composite: 24,468 (+1.52%) | S&P 500: 7,126 (+1.20%) | VIX: 17.94



MARKET OVERVIEW

NAS100 pushed toward a fresh intraday high near 26,401 on Friday as the broader Nasdaq Composite notched its 13th consecutive winning day — the longest streak since 1992. The tape was driven by easing US-Iran tensions after Tehran confirmed the Strait of Hormuz remains open, plus a continued rotation into mega-cap tech and semiconductors ahead of a heavy earnings slate. S&P 500 information technology earnings are now tracked for +46% growth this quarter versus +36% at the start of the year.

BULLISH bias remains intact into next week. Scanner shows 30 of 40 NAS100 components on a bullish EMA structure (20 fully above all three EMAs, 10 above the 20/50 pair), versus only 4 names in a bearish stack and 6 mixed. Ten stocks printed RSI(14) at or above 70 — a warning sign for near-term exhaustion, not a reversal signal on its own.

The exception: NFLX collapsed -9.72% to 97.31 after weak Q2 guidance (78c vs 84c consensus), revenue forecast of $12.57bn shy of $12.64bn estimate, and the surprise exit of co-founder/chairman Reed Hastings. That is a cluster of reasons, not noise — treat NFLX as guilty-until-proven-innocent for another session.



TREND ANALYSIS

EMA stack (index level): Price is trading well above the 20 and 50-day averages and has reclaimed the 200-day decisively. The stack is bullish, with the 20 above the 50 and both above the 200.

Market structure: Higher-highs / higher-lows pattern intact. Friday's high above 26,400 is the latest HH in the sequence that started from the 27 March VIX-31 washout.

Current phase: Extended trend-up / near-breakout. The fact that 13 of the last 13 sessions closed green is statistically rare — expect mean-reversion risk to build, but the weight of evidence still favours higher prices until proven otherwise.



INDICATOR SIGNALS

RSI(14): Aggregate NAS100 is approaching overbought. Ten components printed >=70 today: ADI (75.1), MAR (73.0), MRVL (82.3), MSFT (71.6), NVDA (71.4), AMZN (76.5), GOOGL (72.6), AVGO (79.1), AMD (80.2), TXN (74.2). MRVL and AMD are extended enough to watch for pullbacks rather than chase. No component is oversold (RSI<=30).

MACD: Broadly supportive. 34 of 40 components have the MACD line above signal. Notable exceptions with bearish MACD: INTU, TMUS, WDAY, REGN, COST, LIN, ADBE.

Volume: Friday was a mixed-volume tape. Relative volume above 1.2x: ADI (1.55), TSLA (1.28), AAPL (1.30), MSFT (1.30), MAR (1.23), NFLX (2.97 on the earnings gap), PYPL (1.14). The ADI, MAR, AAPL and TSLA volume expansion confirms their advances. Most others printed sub-1x — rally participation is getting narrower.

SECTOR BIAS SUMMARY

Semiconductors: strongest sector — 9 of 10 on a full Bull stack, 5 printed RSI > 70, and 5 are within 3% of their 52-week highs (AVGO, ADI, MRVL, AMAT, TXN). This is the engine of the rally.

Mega-cap Tech: firmly bullish — 6 of 7 on a Bull or Bull-20/50 stack with bullish MACD across the group. Only TSLA has a bearish MACD despite a +3% print today; the MACD line is still well below signal.

Consumer/Internet/Travel: bullish skew with MAR, ABNB and BKNG breaking out, but TMUS and NFLX are clear relative weakness.

Software: mixed-to-weak — INTU and WDAY are the worst charts on the entire NAS100 (Bear-All stack, MACD down, RSI mid-40s). ADBE is still below all three EMAs on structure though MACD has turned.

Industrial/Other + Healthcare: Mostly consolidation — CSCO is the only clean bull in this group.



TOP SWING TRADE SETUPS

1. ADI — Semis Breakout to New 52w High
Closed 371.45, less than 0.3% below its 52w high at 372.45 on relative volume 1.55x. RSI 75.1 is hot but the MACD line is widening above signal (10.0 vs 5.62), POC sits 12% below at 328.51 — plenty of air above.
Entry: 371 - 373 on hold or breakout · Stop: 361.40 (1x ATR) · T1: 381.50 · T2: 391.30 · R:R: 1:2.0

2. MRVL — Parabolic Semis Leader
Closed 139.69 vs 52w high 139.91. RSI 82.3 is stretched so treat this as an add-on breakout, not an initiation. Structure is pristine: price 60% above EMA200, POC 44 points below.
Entry: 139.95 on clean break · Stop: 133.60 (just below session low) · T1: 144.35 (R2) · T2: 148.75 (R3) · R:R: 1:1.5 · Note: size small — expect a retest of 135-136 first is likely.

3. MAR — Travel Breakout
Closed 377.93 fractionally below 52w high 379.56 on RV 1.23x. Full Bull stack with MACD line at 10.5 vs signal 6.16. POC 336.44 is 11% below — trend has plenty of room.
Entry: 377 - 379.50 · Stop: 367.99 (1x ATR) · T1: 386.10 (R2) · T2: 392.60 (R3) · R:R: 1:1.5

4. KLAC — High-Quality Semis Base Breakout
Closed 1791.44 with the 52w high at 1798 — essentially at highs. MACD line 81.28 vs signal 59.70 is widening. EMA200 is 528 points below (30% away) — deeply trending.
Entry: 1792 - 1798 · Stop: 1724.70 (1x ATR) · T1: 1855 (R3) · T2: 1925 · R:R: 1:1.9

5. BKNG — EMA200 Reclaim Setup
Closed 192.01, just below EMA200 at 193.05 after a +4.04% day on strong RSI expansion and MACD cross (3.20 vs 0.95). A daily close above 193.05 would confirm an EMA200 reclaim — a high-probability trend-change signal.
Entry: 193.50 on close above EMA200 · Stop: 185.20 (below pivot S2) · T1: 198.60 (R3) · T2: 206.50 · R:R: 1:1.6



INTRADAY SETUPS — PIVOT AND CAMARILLA

NVDA — Cam R4 Trend-Day Breakout
Close 201.68 sits just under Cam R4 at 203.02. A clean break and hold above 203.02 typically signals a trend-day long per the Camarilla method.
Entry: 203.10 on breakout · Stop: 201.00 (back into range) · T1: 204.93 (R3) · T2: 207.00

ADI — Cam R4 Breakout Continuation
Close 371.45. Cam R4 at 379.50. Given today's +4.99% run on RV 1.55, a gap-and-go Monday targets Cam R4.
Entry: 379.60 on break · Stop: 375.45 (Cam R3) · T1: 384 · T2: 391.30 (R3)

TSLA — Pivot Bounce Long
Close 400.62 effectively at classic pivot 400.52. Above pivot trades long toward R1 409.38; below pivot flips bearish bias toward S1 391.75.
Entry: 400.60 long above pivot / 400.40 short below · Stop: 396 long or 403 short · T1: 405.47 (Cam R3) long · T2: 409.38 (R1)

ORLY — Cam Range Scalp
Close 93.71 with Cam S3 93.25 / Cam R3 94.17 — a 92bp compression range, textbook range-day setup.
Entry: 93.30 long at Cam S3 / 94.10 short at Cam R3 · Stop: 93.00 or 94.35 · T1: mid-pivot 93.57

AAPL — Cam R4 Breakout
Close 270.23, Cam R4 273.30. Above R4 opens a path to R3 classic 278.36.
Entry: 273.40 on break · Stop: 270.70 (back into range) · T1: 275.33 (R2) · T2: 278.36 (R3)

BEARISH WARNINGS

NFLX — 97.31 (-9.72%). Post-earnings gap on revenue guide miss + Reed Hastings departure. Relative volume 2.97x. Price is below EMA20 (99.47) and EMA200 (99.28) — the stack is fractured. Wait for confirmation; do not try to catch the knife.

INTU — 393.25. Bear-All stack (close < EMA20, < EMA50, < EMA200). RSI 44.2, MACD line -12 below signal. Down 51.7% from 52w high. No bottom in place; bounces fade to the 20-EMA at 401.93.

WDAY — 123.83. Worst-structured NAS100 name — 55.1% below 52w high, Bear-All stack, MACD negative. Below POC and the full EMA cluster. Treat rallies to 126-129 (20-EMA) as short opportunities.

TMUS — 197.67. Bear-All stack, bearish MACD, RSI 42.2. Below POC. Telecom weakness standing out against a risk-on tech tape.

REGN — 750.57. Bear-20/50 stack despite price above EMA200. MACD has rolled over (-2.49 vs -1.82), RSI sub-50. Below POC at 763.99. Avoid longs until price reclaims the 756-757 EMA cluster.

ADBE — 244.45. Mixed stack but 42.2% below 52w high and below POC. Down day in an up tape — relative weakness flag.



EVENTS CALENDAR — NEXT WEEK

Earnings-heavy week across mega-cap tech and semis. Key NAS100 dates to watch from the tracked universe:
- Several software names report mid-week; watch guidance given INTU / WDAY structural weakness.
- Semi earnings season continues — LRCX, KLAC, AMAT guidance will determine whether the leadership group extends.
- NFLX overhang to reprice through the week as analysts update models.

US macro calendar: watch for updated Fed-speak and PCE prints in the 20-25 April window; with VIX at 17.94 and rate-cut expectations supportive, any hot inflation data is the primary downside risk to the 13-day streak.



BOTTOM LINE

NAS100 is late-stage bullish but over-extended in the short-term. The trend is your friend, breadth is narrowing (five of the ten RSI-hot names drove most of the semis upside), and two sessions without new index highs would be the first technical crack. Best trade quality sits in semis breakouts (ADI, MRVL, KLAC) and travel leaders (MAR, BKNG); cleanest short candidate remains INTU into EMA-rejections.

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.



KEY NAS100 INDEX LEVELS
Resistance:
- 26,200 — intraday high / round-number supply

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.

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.
