NASDAQ 100 daily candlestick chart
Timeframe: Daily (1D)Each candle is one day (daily timeframe, 1D). Hover any candle to see its data. Drag to move around, change the range with the buttons and switch layers on or off. The colored lines and zones are the detected support and resistance levels; the hollow candles at the end, with their date underneath, are the projection for the next 5 days.
Tip: with “Draw line” or “Draw zone” you can mark your own levels on the chart.
NASDAQ 100 hourly MACD
Timeframe: Hourly (1H)The MACD measures price momentum by comparing two averages (12 and 26 hours). Here each bar is one hour: it shows whether short-term strength is rising or fading during the day.
Last hour: the MACD is above its signal line, meaning momentum is bullish and it is getting weaker.
How to read this chart
- Blue line (MACD) above the orange one (signal): short-term momentum is bullish. Below it: bearish.
- The bars show the distance between the two lines: green above zero and red below zero. Taller bars = stronger momentum; shrinking bars = momentum is fading.
- When the lines cross, momentum switches sides. It is a short-term technical signal, not an order to buy or sell.
Hourly data updates during each market's session and may be delayed.
NASDAQ 100 support and resistance
A support is a price where the market has already bounced several times: buyers tend to show up there. A resistance is the opposite: a ceiling where sellers tend to show up. They are detected over the last three months of daily candles; more touches means a more relevant level.

NASDAQ 100 weekly forecast: next 5 daily candles
A machine-learning model (LightGBM) trained on price history, RSI, MACD, ATR, Fibonacci retracements and the economic calendar predicts each close from the previous one. Since each step carries the previous step's error, the likely range widens over the days.
| Date | Projected close | vs. current close | Likely range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 28319 | -0.42% | 27946 – 28692 | |
| 28254 | -0.64% | 27727 – 28782 | |
| 28120 | -1.11% | 27475 – 28766 | |
| 27983 | -1.6% | 27237 – 28728 | |
| 27948 | -1.72% | 27114 – 28782 |
- Direction hit rate on 242 out-of-sample sessions: 44.6%. 50% is a coin flip: the model is a study aid, not a crystal ball.
- Average one-session error: ±298
It's a statistical estimate, not a promise: the market can move outside the range. Use it as context for studying, never as a buy or sell signal.
Today's and this week's read: NASDAQ 100
6 of 8 signals point bearish, so the NASDAQ 100 reads as bearish (strong conviction). The model projects a close near 27,948 in 5 sessions (-1.7%), with a likely range of 27,114–28,782. On weekly candles the read is bearish (3 of 5 signals), matching the daily read. A bounce toward the 29,752 resistance (tested 3x) is where sellers have defended before.

|
What it measures: A survey of factory purchasing managers: above 50 the industry expands, below 50 it contracts. Effect on NASDAQ 100: A leading indicator of the economy; the NASDAQ reacts less than to inflation or jobs data, unless the reading crosses the 50 line. |

| Job openings (JOLTS)JOLTS Job Openings | Medium | 7.15M | 7.08M | — | ||
|
What it measures: How many open positions there are in the US. It shows whether companies are still hiring or slowing down. Effect on NASDAQ 100: Many openings = hot labor market = risk of higher-for-longer rates; few openings = cooling. |
||||||

|
What it measures: A high-impact release for the US economy. Data in this category tends to move prices sharply within minutes. Effect on NASDAQ 100: Expect more NASDAQ volatility around the release time; compare the result with the forecast. |

| Today | Services PMIISM Services PMI | Medium | 54.8 | 54.9 | — | |
|
What it measures: The same survey for the services sector, which is the largest part of the US economy. Effect on NASDAQ 100: A strong services PMI confirms a resilient economy; it can be mixed for the NASDAQ if it also adds to inflation pressure. |

|
What it measures: How many people filed for unemployment benefits for the first time this week. A quick thermometer of the labor market. Effect on NASDAQ 100: Steady numbers go unnoticed; a sudden jump suggests the labor market is cooling and can feed rate-cut bets. |

What it measures: How many new jobs the US economy created last month. It is the most-watched employment report in the world. Effect on NASDAQ 100: A print far above forecast can spook the market (the Fed would keep rates high); a very weak one does too (recession fear). The best case for the NASDAQ is usually a 'Goldilocks' number, neither too hot nor too cold. |
||||||

|
What it measures: The share of people looking for work who can't find it. Released together with non-farm payrolls. Effect on NASDAQ 100: A fast-rising rate ignites recession fears; a sharp drop can feed the idea of higher rates for longer. |

Frequently asked questions about NASDAQ 100 analysis
Is The NASDAQ 100 bullish or bearish today?
As of the close on November 4, 2026, 6 of 8 technical signals point down, so the NASDAQ 100 reads as bearish (strong conviction). It is an educational, rule-based reading, not a recommendation to buy or sell.
How is the trend determined as bullish or bearish?
We count eight technical checks: price versus the 50- and 200-day averages, the cross of those averages, the slope of the 20-day average, RSI, MACD, the high/low structure and the model's projection. If most point up, the trend reads bullish; otherwise, bearish. The more agree, the higher the conviction.
What is the weekly trend of the NASDAQ 100?
On weekly candles, 3 of 5 signals point down, so the weekly trend of the NASDAQ 100 reads as bearish. We compare price with the 10- and 40-week averages, the cross of both, and the weekly RSI and MACD. The two timeframes (daily and weekly) can differ: it is worth looking at both.
What is the weekly investment forecast for the NASDAQ 100?
It is an educational estimate, not a recommendation: a statistical model projects a close near 27,948 on November 11, 2026 (-1.7% versus the current close), with a likely range of 27,114 to 28,782. It covers the next trading week (5 daily candles) and the market can move outside that range.
What moves the price of the NASDAQ 100?
It moves mostly with Federal Reserve interest-rate expectations, big tech earnings, and US inflation and jobs data. Since its companies are valued on future earnings, it tends to be sensitive to changes in rates.
What is algorithmic trading and how is it used in this analysis?
Algorithmic trading uses rules and mathematical models, instead of gut feeling, to analyze the market. Here we apply that approach to analysis: technical rules (moving averages, RSI, MACD, support levels) and a machine-learning model produce the trend read and the forecast. We only analyze: we do not execute trades or manage money.
How often is this analysis updated?
It is recalculated on each visit using the latest daily candles available. The economic calendar adds the medium- and high-impact US events every day.
