NAS100 midweek: testing 30000 resistance after 1% gain, 2026-05-25

Where NAS100 stands midweek

NAS100 closed Wednesday at 30021.36, up 255 points or 0.86% from Monday's open at 29766.37. The index touched 30087.51 yesterday before pulling back, while this week's low sits at 29670.71.

What has driven price so far

Tuesday's surge to 30043.10 on heavy volume (240,743 contracts versus Monday's 139,257) pushed the index through the psychological 30000 barrier for the first time this week. Wednesday's lighter volume of 62,101 contracts saw consolidation just above this round number.

What's still ahead

Thursday and Friday bring no scheduled high-impact events for the index. If buyers defend 30000, the week's high at 30087.51 becomes the next test. If sellers regain control below 29997, Tuesday's low at 29670.71 returns to focus.

Positioning right now

Current sentiment shows 54.9% of positions long versus 45.1% short as of Wednesday morning. This modest long skew suggests traders see 30000 as support rather than resistance midweek, though conviction remains measured.

The level that matters today

The 30000 round number stands as today's pivot. Price closed 21 points above it after testing both sides yesterday. A clean break above 30087 opens room to probe higher. A rejection back below 29997 puts Tuesday's 29670 low back in play.
