NAS100: Daily Framework Read | 2026-09-18

Price on Nasdaq 100 (NAS100) sits near 29,447, 0.0% higher on the session and holding in the upper half of its one-month range. The one-month average sits near 29,364, and price is above it, so that line is the pivot the two-way traffic keeps returning to. Momentum has gone quiet over the last two weeks, roughly 0.2% down, leaving the structure as a clean uptrend, price above both its one-month and longer averages. The levels that matter are 29,753 overhead, the past month’s swing high, about 1.0% above here, with 28,753 below as the shelf that has held, roughly 2.4% down; the 29,500 and 29,000 round numbers are the nearer handles. Zoom out and the last three months have ranged between 27,176 and 30,643, which frames the bigger picture. For now the tilt is bullish: a close above 29,753 would open room toward 30,643, while losing 28,753 would put 27,176 back in view.
