Nasdaq 100 Price Analysis — November 27

Wall Street traded on a mixed sentiment on Wednesday as the Thanksgiving Holiday in the US drew near. Yesterday was Thanksgiving in the US, and markets across the country were closed.

Most sectors under the S&P 500 (SPX) traded lower on Wednesday, with Energy stocks and Consumer Stables leading the decline. The Nasdaq 100 (NDX) recorded a strong ascent, while the Dow Jones (DJIA) fell into a sideways pattern after hitting 30,000 for the first time on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the dollar (DXY) maintained its bearish momentum while yields eased.

In other news, the recent FOMC meeting minutes showed that the Fed was considering making adjustments to its bond-buying program. Jobless claims for the week rose higher than analysts’ estimated. Q3 GDP numbers were in line with investor expectations, while durable goods orders were better than estimated.

According to the FOMC meeting minutes, Fed policymakers discussed their asset purchase program at length, and several members are in support of decisive changes in the program. Investors were looking forward to the minutes to gain insight into Fed members’ stance on a boost to their asset purchase program, which presently has the Fed purchasing $120 billion of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities every month.

Nasdaq 100 (NDX) Value Forecast — November 27

NDX Major Bias: Bullish

Supply Levels: 12220, 12300, and 12439.

Demand Levels: 12000, 11890, and 11770.

The NDX has performed positively over the past few days after enduring drawn-out consolidation. We expect a continuation of the bullish momentum at the reopening of US markets later today.

Already, the index is on the verge of breaking the crucial 12220 resistance (based on pre-market data). In the meantime, a sustained break below 12000 seems unlikely.

Just like the DOW, the Nasdaq 100 could break a new record in the coming days.
