Nasdaq 100 - An opening gap, high anxiety and more downside
Overnight, the Nasdaq continuous futures opened 1.6% lower. As a result, NQ1! erased its gains from the prior trading session; this development hints at elevated anxiety among market participants, who are eager to take profits off the table as soon as possible. The opening gap pushes the odds to the downside for the stock market. Additionally, we foresee the same pressure from higher interest rates in the U.S. and economic tightening around the globe. Therefore, we stay adamant in our bearish stance on the Nasdaq 100 index. Accordingly, we would like to set new price targets for NQ1! to 11 750 USD and 11 500 USD.

The breakout above the resistance could suggest a potential bear market rally. Therefore, we will pay close attention to the sloping resistance. The breakout would force us to abandon our short-term price targets on NQ1! and QQQ.
