The hundred largest non-financial companies on the Nasdaq. Dominated by big tech, so it tends to move further and faster than the Dow or S&P.
Based on the cash Nasdaq 100 index. Percentage moves line up closely with a CFD price; exact levels can differ a little.
| 20-day average | 29,908 |
| 50-day average | 29,458 |
| 200-day average | 27,479 |
Price is above its 50-day average, and the 50-day is above the 200-day: the textbook definition of an uptrend. In the shorter term, price is above its 20-day average.
NAS100 is 97% of the way from its 12-month low to its 12-month high. A typical day covers about 377 points, which is worth knowing before you set a stop: much tighter than that and normal daily noise can take you out.

Large speculators are net long as of Tue 29 Sep. That's near the top of its 3-year range, sometimes read as a crowded trade. In stock index futures a lot of this positioning is hedging and spread trading, so treat it as a rough guide rather than a clean vote. COT reports →
