The June E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index futures are down significantly just before the close on Friday, putting the tech-heavy index on track for its third week of losses. On heightened clarity regarding aggressive near-term interest rate rises and general worries ahead of Big Tech reports next week, sellers pounded technology equities.


June E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index futures were trading at 13442.00 at 17:55 GMT, down 286.25 or -2.09 percent. The Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (QQQ) is now trading at 325.41, down 8.74 percent.

Tech Stocks Have a Difficult Future Prior to the Release of Major Earnings Reports

The NASDAQ Composite has had a bumpy start to the year due to the possibility of a more hawkish Fed. The tendency is particularly obvious in tech and growth stocks, which are more exposed to increasing bond rates in terms of valuation. In the year 2022, the NASDAQ is down 17.9%.


The four largest U.S. corporations by market value, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google parent Alphabet, will report earnings next week.

Technical Analysis of the Daily Swing Chart

According to the daily swing chart, the major trend is down. The primary trend will be changed to down if a deal is made through 14298.00. The downtrend would be reaffirmed if the price breaks through the intraday low of 13435.75.


12942.50 to 15268.75 is the short-term range. The index is now trading at resistance from 13831.25 to 14105.75, which is the lower end of its retracement zone.

Technical Forecast for the Daily Swing Chart

Trader response to 13728.25 will influence the direction of the June E-mini NASDAQ-100 Index entering Friday's closing.

Scenario that is bearish

The presence of sellers will be shown by a persistent move below 13728.25. If the intraday low of 13435.75 is broken, it means the selling pressure is increasing. Look for a downward acceleration if this builds enough downside momentum, with 12942.50 being the next big negative target.

Possibilities for Growth

The return of buyers will be signaled by the crossing of 13728.25. This might provide enough rising momentum to test the 13831.25 to 14105.75 short-term retracement zone. This is the last possible barrier level before the big peak at 14298.00.
