Nasdaq 100 rebounds sharply – Société Générale

FXStreet Insights Team FXStreet

The Nasdaq 100 has staged a strong recovery from recent lows, forming a higher trough at 17600 points. However, the index now faces resistance from a descending trend line and a key pivot level at 19235 points, with potential targets at 19700 and 20300 if momentum continues, Société Générale's FX analysts note.

Nasdaq 100 eyes resistance at 19235

"Nasdaq 100 has experienced a swift rebound after carving out a higher trough at 17600pts than the one achieved earlier this month at 16540pts. The upside has so far remained contained at the steep descending trend line drawn since February and short of recent pivot high at 19235pts."

"A brief consolidation is not ruled out after recent sharp up / down swings. In the event that the bounce extends beyond 19235pts, the 50-DMA near 19700pts and 20300pts would be the next hurdles."

GBP/USD consolidates above 1.3300 as traders await Fed rate decision

GBP/USD kicks off the new week on a subdued note and oscillates in a narrow trading band above 1.3300 in European trading on Monday.

Gold holds firm above $4,200; awaits Fed rate decision on Wednesday before the next leg up

Gold sticks to its modest intraday gains through the early European session, though it lacks bullish conviction and remains confined in a one-week-old trading range. The growing acceptance that the US Federal Reserve will lower borrowing costs again this week keeps the US Dollar depressed near a one-month low and acts as a tailwind for the non-yielding yellow metal.

Bitcoin and Ethereum aim for breakouts as Ripple holds at $2

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple record a minor recovery on Monday, starting the week on a positive note. The retail demand for major cryptocurrencies remains strong despite outflows from Bitcoin and Ethereum Exchange Traded Funds.

The Silver disconnection is real

Silver just hit a new all-time high. Neither did gold, nor mining stocks. They all reversed on an intraday basis, but silver’s move to new highs makes it still bullish overall, while the almost complete reversals in gold and miners make the latter technically bearish.
