Key Takeaways:

*Tech Stocks Under Pressure: Nasdaq-100 and other tech-heavy indices are trading lower amid concerns that AI-driven hype has pushed valuations into overextended territory.

*Nvidia in Focus: Nvidia shares declined nearly 3% ahead of earnings, with options signaling elevated volatility. Earnings will likely be a pivotal catalyst for tech sentiment.

*Earnings Risk vs. Reward: Even a strong Nvidia report may offer only a limited relief rally; a miss could accelerate rotation out of high-growth tech stocks.

Market Summary:

U.S. equities traded lower over time as investors weighed elevated valuations in the technology sector, with a particular focus on Nvidia ahead of its earnings release. The Nasdaq-100 and other tech-heavy indices have been under pressure, reflecting concerns that AI-driven hype has pushed high-growth stocks into overextended territory. Weak market breadth and cooling momentum suggest a short-term correction could be underway, even as broader macro indicators remain mixed.

Nvidia has emerged as a central focal point, with shares declining nearly 3% as options markets signal heightened volatility. Traders are balancing the potential for an earnings beat against the risk that even a strong report may not fully satisfy the market’s lofty expectations. A disappointing outcome could accelerate rotation out of tech names, while positive surprises may trigger a temporary relief rally but leave upside limited amid stretched valuations.

Market sentiment is increasingly risk-sensitive. Investors are monitoring whether softer equity performance will continue to boost safe-haven demand for the U.S. dollar, potentially affecting broader risk-on assets. Equity volatility and tech sector performance will likely remain key determinants of investor appetite in the near term.

Looking ahead, the Nasdaq’s trajectory will hinge on Nvidia’s earnings, any surprises in U.S. economic data, and shifts in market risk sentiment. Analysts are watching closely for signs of a broader tech rotation and potential spillover into other major indices.

Technical Analysis

Nasdaq, H4:

The NASDAQ has broken below its multi-month rising trendline after failing to sustain momentum near the Fibonacci 1.0 extension zone around 25,630, signaling a potential shift from a steady uptrend into a corrective phase. A confirmed breakdown would open the door toward deeper retracement levels, with the 0.618 zone around 23,440 serving as the next major support, followed by the 0.5 retracement near 21,460.

The break below the rising trendline also suggests that bullish momentum has notably weakened, a view reinforced by the behavior of the indicators. The RSI has dropped to around 37, approaching oversold conditions while maintaining a clear bearish slope indicating continued selling pressure without yet forming a reversal signal. Meanwhile, the MACD has crossed firmly into negative territory, with widening separation between the MACD and signal line. This reflects accelerating downside momentum consistent with a genuine corrective move rather than a shallow pullback.

Overall, the NASDAQ is transitioning into a bearish correction phase after months of steady appreciation. For now, technicals favor caution, as sentiment has shifted toward sellers following the trendline break and weakening momentum profile.

Resistance level: 25,630.00, 27,900.00

Support level: 23,845.00, 22,440.00
