Headline: Nasdaq Rally Pauses at Key Moving Average Resistance
The Nasdaq index clawed back from sharp early losses on Monday, only to stall at a cluster of moving average resistance that now defines the intraday battle line for buyers and sellers. Short‑term traders are watching this zone closely as momentum hangs in the balance.
After sinking to a session low of 23,315.28—down 211.90 points—the Nasdaq rebounded to around 23,392 and briefly tagged 23,420. That bounce ran straight into the 50‑hour and 100‑hour moving averages at 23,412 and 23,425, where sellers stepped in to cap the move. The convergence of these moving averages often acts as a decision point for market direction.
Staying below the 23,412–23,425 band keeps the near‑term bias tilted toward the sellers and raises the risk of a retest of the day’s lows. A sustained break and hold above this resistance, however, would flip the short‑term momentum back to the buyers and open room for a deeper recovery. Traders should monitor price behavior around this zone to gauge the next move in Nasdaq volatility and intraday trend.
Key Points – Nasdaq hit a session low of 23,315.28, down 211.90 points before rebounding. – The rebound peaked near 23,420, where the rally met moving average resistance. – 50‑hour MA sits near 23,412; 100‑hour MA near 23,425, creating a tight resistance cluster. – Below 23,412–23,425 keeps the short‑term bias negative and favors sellers. – A decisive move above that band would shift momentum back to buyers. – Focus remains on intraday technical levels and momentum around this resistance zone.
