^IXIC Signals & Forecast

There are few to no technical positive signals at the moment. The Nasdaq index holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the index. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at 23,126.38 points and 23,067.25 points. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, and so far it has fallen -5.22%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell together with the price during the last trading day and this reduces the overall risk as volume should follow the price movements.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Nasdaq index

Trading Expectations (^IXIC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 18th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 18th we expect NASDAQ Composite to open at 22,770.71 points, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between 22,506.44 points and 22,909.71 points, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-403.28 points (+/-1.79%) up or down from last closing price. If NASDAQ Composite takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.79% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at 22,740.40 points (0.14%) than the support at 22,670.08 points (0.17%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.

Is NASDAQ Composite index A Buy?

The Nasdaq index holds several negative signals and despite the positive trend, we believe Nasdaq will perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. Therefore, we hold a negative evaluation of this index.
