Futures Extend Gains

Index futures managed to extend their gains and some ********* indexes like the opened in fresh unchartered territories, before pulling back.

We also saw gold prices jump to a new high during the early ****** session, before easing somewhat amid profit-taking and as investors made a more sober assessment of the Fed’s assessment of interest rates.

The FOMC maintained interest rates unchanged for the fifth consecutive meeting on Wednesday, reiterating its stance of waiting for stronger confidence from the data before considering rate cuts.

The key takeaway was that despite recent high inflation readings, the Fed’s statement suggests an inclination towards future rate reductions, indicating a potential shift in monetary policy.

Contrary to analysts’ prior expectations, the Fed still expects three rate cuts for this year, but now is more cautious about 2025 cuts.

However, the recent hot readings and strong performances of some key commodity prices like and especially could lead to inflation remaining higher than expected.

This will prevent the Fed and other central banks from being able to ease their policies in the way they envisage.

While the markets remain buoyant for now, and as traders, we have to go with the flow until the charts tell us otherwise. Let’s take a look at and ) charts to gain further insight regarding our next moves.

QQQ technical analysis and trade ideas

Following Wednesday’s FOMC decision, the major US indexes rallied with the hitting a fresh record high.

The Nasdaq almost got to a fresh unchartered territory too but fell short. However, given the bullish price action, it appears like a new record could potentially be hit for the tech-heavy index, possibly as early as today.

As per the chart of Invesco QQQ ETF, which tracks the Index, it broke above the bearish trend of its triangle consolidation pattern that had been for about one and a half weeks.

It climbed back above the 21-day exponential moving average in the process to provide a fresh objective signal indicating that it has regained its strong short-term bullish momentum.

The latest rally comes as QQQ held key support around 434.00, which has provided a floor since February 22. This level is now the line in the sand insofar as the short-term bullish trend is concerned.

While above it, the path of least resistance would remain to the upside even if we see a small pullback in the days ahead.

There’s also an additional level of support at 439.00, which marks Tuesday’s high and the base of Wednesday’s FOMC-related rally.

Ideally, the bulls would not like to see the index go back below this level, before a fresh break to a new high above the record 448.64 level that was hit a couple of Fridays ago.

Is Nvidia about to break higher again?

Whether the Nasdaq can go to new highs and remain above the support level will depend pretty much on the big tech stocks, none more so than Nvidia (NASDAQ:).

The Nasdaq’s recent consolidation has coincided with NVDA also doing the same thing. That big bearish engulfing candle that formed on Friday, March 8 is still playing at the back of traders’ minds.

It could potentially be a sign that the stock may have topped. However, what is lacking is bearish follow-through.

Bullish traders have managed to chip away at that engulfing candle and now around half of that day’s losses have been made back, suggesting that investors are still not too worried about its overstretched valuations, etc.

Anyway, let’s see if NVDA will break its bearish trend line and resistance around the $905.00 area today and hold there.

If so, then we could well see a run to a new record on NVDA and a continuation of the rally in the Nasdaq.

Key support comes in at $850.00, the pre-FOMC low. A potential break below this level would be a bearish outcome, not just for NVDA but for Nasdaq too.
