NASDAQSIGNALS Key levels & daily outlook
Updated daily before the London session open.
Daily bias
The NAS100's direction is primarily driven by US tech sector sentiment, Fed policy expectations, and Treasury yields. When the Fed signals rate cuts and yields fall, the index typically rallies. Monitor the US 10-year yield and tech earnings for intraday directional bias.
Session timing
The NAS100 is most active during the US pre-market (12:00–14:30 UTC) and the regular US session (14:30–21:00 UTC). The US open at 14:30 UTC produces the largest moves and highest volume, especially after major tech earnings or Fed announcements.

What drives the NAS100?
Understanding these factors helps you anticipate the NAS100's next move.
Fed Policy & Interest Rates
The NAS100 is highly sensitive to Fed rate decisions. Dovish signals (rate cuts, accommodative stance) push the index higher. Hawkish surprises trigger selloffs.
Tech Earnings
The Nasdaq 100 is tech-heavy (Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, etc.). Strong earnings from mega-cap tech drives the entire index higher. Earnings season is the biggest regular catalyst.
Market Sentiment
Risk-on sentiment fuels the NAS100. When investors are optimistic about growth, they rotate into growth/tech stocks. Risk-off periods trigger outflows into defensive assets.
Treasury Yields
Rising long-term yields compress tech valuations (future cash flows discounted more heavily). Falling 10Y yields are typically very bullish for the NAS100.
Economic Data
Jobs reports (NFP), CPI inflation, GDP growth, and PMI data all move the NAS100. The index responds to data that shifts Fed rate expectations.
Sector Rotation
Money flows between growth/tech and value/cyclicals. When rates fall, money rotates into growth (bullish for NAS100). When rates rise, the rotation out hits the index hard.
NAS100 price history
