NSDQ100 INTRADAY resistance retest ahead of US OpenThe USD continues to rally, driven by:
A strong rebound in US Consumer Confidence, reversing a six-month downtrend.
A decline in the number of Americans expecting a recession, improving risk sentiment.
This positive momentum helped offset weaker April Durable Goods Orders, which reflected business concerns tied to Trump’s tariff policies.
Trump Signals Progress with EU Trade Talks
Trump stated on Truth Social that the EU is moving quickly to begin trade negotiations after he expressed satisfaction with a proposed 50% tariff.
Markets could interpret this as a step toward de-escalation, potentially supporting US equities and the USD, while posing risk to EU markets if tensions resume.
SpaceX Test Failure
SpaceX’s Starship test failed mid-flight. While a technical setback, broader market impact is likely minimal unless similar failures persist.
Could marginally affect aerospace and space-related stocks.
Elon Musk on Crypto & Tax Policy
Musk criticized Trump’s tax bill, claiming it undermines DOGE and broader crypto innovation.
Slightly negative for crypto sentiment, particularly speculative tokens like Dogecoin.
Earnings in Focus
Nvidia (NVDA):
Market will watch for signs of weaker China-related growth, tied to Trump’s policy on semiconductors and AI.
Key impact expected on tech stocks, semis, and the NASDAQ.
Salesforce (CRM):
Focus on adoption of new AI tools and updates on the $8 billion Informatica acquisition.
Could affect broader enterprise software and cloud sector sentiment.

USTEC100 Chart 4H, Trends To Watch for Short The provided USTEC 100 (US Tech 100) 4-hour chart highlights a strategic short (sell) trade setup based on technical price action and defined risk levels. The analysis suggests a bearish market bias, provided that specific price conditions are met and maintained. Let's explore the details and rationale behind this trade idea to understand how traders might approach this setup with calculated entries, targets, and stops.
As per the current market data presented, USTEC 100 is trading around 21,115.00 on Monday, 19 May 2025. The chart emphasizes a critical resistance zone highlighted in red, located at approximately 21,445.10. This level acts as a potential invalidation point for the short trade. If the price crosses above this red zone and a full candle closes above it, the entire bearish setup becomes invalid. This is a key condition – any move above this threshold signifies a shift in market sentiment and cancels the downward outlook.
NASDAQ Potential Bullish Reversal OpportunityNASDAQ price action went through a massive correction during the global tariff war.
However after potential recent developments, we may finally see a direction towards the resolution of widespread tariff based uncertainty across the macro economic landscape.
This presents us with a potential Reversal opportunity if we see the formation of a credible Higher High (given a potential proper break out) on the Daily and shorter timeframes.
Trade Plan :
Entry @ 20440
Stop Loss @ 19500
TP 1 @ 21380
US Tech 100 setting sight for ALL time highs - Target 23,671Buy the dip. Never fails as the American markets will always recover.
The question is however, where is the bottom of the DIP and have I considered what risk to take if it continues to dip.
That is what actually causes portfolios to get blown.
However, I don't buy Dips. In fact, I don't buy low, sell high.
I buy HIGH sell HIGHER. Always have always will.
When momentum is on the way, it is better to get on the trend and ride it on up.
And that is WHAT the US Tech 100 is showing or the Nasdaq.
Technicals look great too.

Microsoft in Focus Ahead of Key Earnings, AI Outlook Under WatchMacro:
- Microsoft (MSFT) climbed on cautious optimism ahead of major earnings and economic data.
- Four of the “Magnificent Seven,” AMZN, AAPL, META, and MSFT, are set to report, with investors focusing on Microsoft (MSFT) today.
- Wall Street expects EPS of 3.22 USD and revenue of 68.44 B USD, both up YoY. Microsoft’s strength in AI, cloud, and enterprise software, along with its continued investment in AI talent and solid dividend history, makes this a closely watched report.
- Key drivers will be its results, AI/cloud growth outlook, and forward guidance, while any surprises could shift the stock sharply.
Technical:
- MSFT recovered and tested the resistance at around 396, confluence with EMA78. The price is sideways, and we await a clearer breakout to determine the following direction.
- If MSFT breaks above 396, the price may approach the following resistance at 405, confluence with the 100% Fibonancci Extension.
- On the contrary, remaining below 396 may prompt a retest to the support at around 378, confluence with the broken descending channel.

Entry: CMP 292
Stop Loss: 90 or 0 (depends on trading style as Non-Leverage Buy & Hold is recommended)

NSDQ100 INTRADAY resistance retest U.S. futures rose and the dollar strengthened after Donald Trump eased concerns that had been weighing on markets. He stated he has no plans to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell, despite ongoing frustrations over interest rates. While this helped calm nerves, Bloomberg's John Authers cautions against viewing it as a major shift in sentiment.
Trump also struck a more conciliatory tone on China, saying he intends to be “very nice” in trade talks and suggested tariffs could be lowered if a deal is reached—indicating a possible softening of his approach toward Beijing.

NSDQ100 INTRADAY resistance retest Tech stocks tumbled after the U.S. announced new restrictions on Nvidia chip exports to China and ASML posted weaker-than-expected results, sparking renewed trade war fears. The selloff wiped out $155 billion in market value between the two companies.
Meanwhile, China is holding off on trade talks, wanting the U.S. to take certain steps first—like toning down harsh rhetoric from officials—according to a source familiar with Beijing’s stance.
U.S. stock futures trimmed losses after that China news but still point to a lower open due to the tech slump. The dollar slid to a six-month low, while investors moved into safe havens, gold hit a record high and the Swiss franc gained.
