NASDAQ is testing the upside resistance

Where do we stand fundamentally?

Palantir, MicroStrategy, and Axon Enterprise are set to join the Nasdaq 100 Index, replacing Super Micro Computer, Moderna, and Illumina, indicating a shakeup in the index composition.

The NASDAQ 100 Index underwent a rebalancing which affected the weight of several major tech stocks. Companies like Tesla, Meta Platforms, and Broadcom saw their influence reduced due to their high valuations following a tech rally in 2024.

NASDAQ is testing the upside resistance 22500, which is expected to peak at the fifth long-term Elliott Wave. My KNOWPO trading system indicates a good low-risk short trade here, so I expect a reversal downside as we have possibly reached the fifth upside long-term Elliott wave. The medium-term target should be 20000.

A break above 22500 will invalidate the downside reversal and lead to a higher extension. A break below 21000 will accelerate the downside reversal.
