NAS100 Climbs Toward 29,435 as Tech Futures Lead Risk Rebound

Key Points

• NAS100 traded near 29,435, up 1.32%, after recovering from an intraday low of 29,066.
• Nasdaq 100 futures led US index gains as US-Iran de-escalation hopes supported risk appetite.
• Traders are watching 29,511 resistance and 29,417 support as the next short-term range.

NAS100 pushed higher on Monday as US stock index futures rose, led by strong gains in the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100.

The rebound came as investors reacted to renewed hopes that the United States and Iran could de-escalate tensions and return to talks. A US official said both sides would reduce hostilities, giving markets fresh confidence that the interim peace deal signed earlier this month may hold.

At 5:00 a.m. ET, Nasdaq 100 E-minis rose 298.75 points, or 1.02%, while S&P 500 E-minis gained 50 points, or 0.68%. Dow E-minis added 155 points, or 0.3%.

For NAS100 traders, the move shows that risk appetite is improving again after last week’s tech-led selloff.

Why Traders Are Watching This

Traders are watching NAS100 because tech sentiment is trying to recover, but the outlook is still uneven.

Middle East de-escalation has reduced some pressure on oil prices and inflation expectations. That supports equities, especially growth stocks, because lower geopolitical stress can improve risk appetite and reduce pressure on valuation-sensitive sectors.

However, AI spending concerns remain a drag. Last week’s selloff hit semiconductors and Magnificent Seven names, with traders questioning whether the AI infrastructure boom can keep supporting earnings growth.

Apple also stayed in focus after falling 4.8% last week. The company raised iPad and MacBook prices, citing higher memory and storage chip costs linked to AI data centre demand. If consumers push back against higher prices, traders may worry about weaker volumes and tighter margins

SpaceX also added to the tech story, rising 1.2% in premarket trading after Nasdaq said the newly listed company will join the Nasdaq 100 on 7 July.

Key Trading Levels

NAS100 is trading above its short-term moving averages, with the 5-period MA at 29,449, the 10-period MA at 29,450, and the 20-period MA at 29,417.

That keeps the short-term structure tilted toward buyers. The index has recovered strongly from the 29,066 area and is now holding close to the upper end of the latest range.

A move above 29,511 would strengthen the bullish setup and bring 29,566 into focus. A drop below 29,417 would suggest momentum is cooling and could bring 29,233 back into view.

Bullish and Bearish Setups

The bullish setup depends on NAS100 holding above the moving average cluster and breaking 29,511. That would show buyers are willing to extend the recovery as geopolitical risk cools.

The pullback setup may become cleaner if price dips toward 29,417 and stabilises. This would suggest the index is consolidating rather than reversing lower.

The bearish setup builds if NAS100 breaks below 29,417. A move under that level would weaken short-term momentum and bring lower supports back into focus.

What To Watch Next

Traders should watch 29,511 resistance and 29,417 support.

A break above 29,511 could support a move toward 29,566. A move below 29,417 would weaken the short-term setup and shift attention toward 29,233.

Beyond the chart, the next drivers are US-Iran talks, oil price movement, AI spending concerns, Apple pricing reaction, SpaceX’s upcoming Nasdaq 100 inclusion, and this week’s US jobs data.
