During July, bad economic data signalled that the US stock market might have overheated and a decline occurred. The culmination of the decline was the drop caused by US employment data on August 4. However, talks started in the markets about upcoming US rate cuts, which have been strengthened by confirmation from the US central bankers. Due to this phenomenon, the value of the US Dollar has been declining and the value of stocks has been surging.

Most recently, the recovery of the US top 100 tech stocks reached the resistance of the 20,000.00 mark. Meanwhile, support was found in the 50-day simple moving average near 19,500.00.

A resumption of the prior surge would have to break through the 20,000.00 mark, before the index tests the all-time high levels at 20,595.00/20,785.00.

However, a decline of the index would initially pass the 50-day SMA and then move onto the 18,500.00 level, where the 200-day SMA is located at. If the moving average fails to hold, the rate might find support in the trend line that connects the indices higher low levels. Further below, the 16,970.00/17,240.00 range is set to act as support.
