From a technical standpoint, the Nasdaq 100 could be eyeing near-term gains. Prices have left behind a Bullish Engulfing candlestick pattern, opening the door to an upward extension.
This also follows positive RSI divergence, which showed that downside momentum was fading.
Prices closed above the 20-day Simple Moving Average as well.
Further gains would place the focus on the early October high at 11729.
Keep a close eye on a potential falling trendline from August (red-dashed line). It could reinstate the downside focus, falling toward the February 2020 high at 9763. Otherwise, more gains could be in store toward September peaks.
