What a roller coaster and wild ride it has been for the Nasdaq 100 which threaded on an initial minor corrective decline trajectory of -3.5% from its last Friday, 16 February high to this Wednesday, 21 February low.

Since the publication of our prior analysis, the price actions of the Indeks US Nas 100 (a proxy for the Nasdaq 100 futures) have indeed shaped a further pushdown and met the first intermediate support of 17,350 (printed an intraday low of 17,324 during late US session on Wednesday, 21 February).

Thereafter within four hours, the Index rallied by +1.8% and pushed higher yesterday, 22 February to recoup all the prior losses inflicted from last Friday. In the past two sessions, it has gained by +4.1% from Wednesday, 21 February intraday low of 17,324 to retest its current all-high level of 18,043 of 12 February (printed an intraday high of 18,037 during yesterday’s US session).

The remarkable “V” shaped rally has been attributed to the stunning +16.4% rally seen on the share price of Nvidia (the third biggest market cap component stock of Nasdaq 100) after it posted better than expected Q4 2023 earnings and issued positive guidance on its revenue in the current Q1 2024 quarter of around US$24 billion the surpassed analyst’s expectation of US$21.9 billion on the average.

Given the significant influence on the share price movement of Nvidia towards the US Nas 100 Index which can be traced back to a high positive 20-day correlation coefficient of 0.85 between the two as of yesterday, 22 February. Hence, it will be paramount to analyse the momentum and trend trajectory of Nvidia’s share price movement.

Medium-term and major uptrend phases intact for Nvidia

The medium-term upside momentum of Nvidia remains intact as depicted by the daily RSI momentum indicator which has been supported by a parallel ascending trendline support since 21 September 2023 and managed to stage a rebound right above the 50 level yesterday.

This positive momentum reading is likely to support the ongoing medium-term uptrend and major uptrend phases in place since the 31 October 2023 low and 28 December 2022 low respectively.

If the 627.20 key medium-term pivotal support holds, its medium-term uptrend phase trajectory remains intact potentially with the next medium-term resistances to watch at 878.60 and 1,014.25/1,126.10).

Nasdaq 100 may see another fresh all-time high

Yesterday’s “V-shaped” rally in the price actions of the Index and the integration back above its 20-day moving average has increased the odds of a new potential short-term impulsive upmove sequence for its short and medium-term uptrend phases.

Given the current rally has been swift and abrupt that led its hourly RSI momentum indicator to hit a rather extreme overbought level of 81.70 which in turn may see the risk of an imminent minor pull-back below the first intermediate resistance of 18,030 (close to the current all-time high level of 18,043 printed on 12 February).

If the potential minor pull-back manages to hold above the 17,650 short-term pivotal support (20-day moving average & close to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of yesterday’s rally from the 21 February low to the 22 February high), the Index may continue its short-term impulsive upmove sequence with the next intermediate resistance to watch at 18,220/270.

However, failure to hold at 17,650 negates the bullish tone to expose the next intermediate supports of 17,350 and 17,160 (also the upward-sloping 50-day moving average).
