NASDAQ Index, S&P 500 and Dow Jones Forecasts – US Indices Continue to See Buyers

NASDAQ 100 Technical Analysis

The Nasdaq 100 moved slightly higher in pre-market trading on Wednesday, consolidating as it decides whether to continue its uptrend. It appears likely to do so, as optimism grows around the potential end of the government shutdown development which has boosted sentiment. Realistically, this serves as an excuse for traders to resume buying, but the trend remains intact. The index has been in a steady upward channel, briefly breaking above it before pulling back to retest it as support. This behavior reinforces the strength of the broader uptrend. The 25,000 level should now act as a strong floor for the Nasdaq 100.

Dow Jones 30 Technical Analysis

The Dow Jones 30 also looks ready to push higher in pre-market trading, now positioned above the crucial 48,000 level. The market continues to favor a “buy on the dip” approach, with near-term support expected around 47,000 and the 50-day EMA just below that. A move toward the 49,000 level is possible, driven by psychological momentum.

S&P 500 Technical Analysis

The S&P 500 is slightly positive ahead of the open and nearing the 6,900 mark. It appears poised to challenge the 7,000 level soon, supported by both its rising uptrend line and the 50-day EMA. Its pattern mirrors that of the Nasdaq 100, largely because the same heavyweights—the “Magnificent 7” stocks—play dominant roles in both indices. Both the Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500 remain technically bullish, suggesting that the broader market still favors upward continuation despite recent volatility.
