Nasdaq 100 - Upcoming FOMC poses threat to further rise in price
Mis à jour
Last week major U.S. indices attempted to reverse to the upside. This was accompanied by technical indicators trying to break their medium-term bearish structures. However, RSI, MACD and Stochastic failed to fulfill this transformation which resulted in market meltdown. Nasdaq continuous futures (NQ1!) broke below significant support level at 14 031 USD. At the same time, volume saw an increase which signals that the selling pressure is strengthening. The FED's meeting is coming closer and the prospect of higher interest rates poses substantial threat to further rise of NQ1!. We expect selling pressure and elevated volatility to stay persistent ahead of the FED's meeting. We think the upcoming increase in interest rates will put additional stress on the U.S. economy; indeed, we think it will drag major indices lower. Because of that we would like to set a short-term price target for NQ1! to 13 750 USD and medium-term price target to 13 500 USD.
