The Nasdaq 100 is actively quoting at 29,006 (-1.03%), reflecting a decline driven by broader market concerns over interest rate hikes and their potential impact on growth stocks. This move signals a cautious sentiment among investors, particularly as the index struggles to maintain momentum following its recent highs.

Technically, the Nasdaq 100 is positioned below both the 20-day simple moving average (SMA-20) at 29,194 and the 50-day simple moving average (SMA-50) at 29,316, indicating bearish pressure. The relative strength index (RSI) stands at 36.7, suggesting the index is in neutral territory, while it remains significantly above its 52-week low of 22,953 but well below the 52-week high of 30,661.

Looking ahead, the Nasdaq 100 faces immediate resistance at the SMA-50 level of 29,316, while support is likely to be tested near the recent low of 28,876. A decisive move above the SMA-50 could signal a potential reversal, while a breach below 28,876 may indicate further downside risk.
