NASDAQ 100 market performance

Overview

The NASDAQ 100 has demonstrated an upward trend, rising 2.21 percent during the week of September 25, 2026, to close at 30,608.13 points. During this period, NVIDIA led the index by market capitalization, while various tech stocks showed mixed performance. Top performers on September 25 included Datadog, Microchip Technology, and PayPal, while Meta Platforms and Intel saw declines.

By early October, the index maintained its upward trajectory following a rebound from mid-September lows. While futures briefly surpassed all-time highs on October 1, actual trading sessions remained slightly below record levels due to selling pressure near peak thresholds. The index tested a resistance cluster between 30,900 and 31,050 points. A breakout above 31,050 could signal a move toward targets between 31,800 and 32,000, while technical support was established between 30,050 and 30,150, with secondary support between 29,600 and 29,750.

As of late October 2026, the index has experienced heightened volatility. While one session saw a 1.25 percent rise to 29,858.30 points—supported by gains in Datadog, SpaceX, and CrowdStrike—a subsequent session saw the index close down 2.9 percent at 28,959 points. This downturn was attributed to “growing skepticism regarding the artificial intelligence boom,” which placed increased pressure on technology stocks.

By October 24, the index settled near a critical inflection point, closing virtually unchanged at 28,957.53 points. The index is positioned near the bottom of its 20-day range of 29,073. Technical analysis suggests a daily close below 28,757 could signal further downward momentum, whereas reclaiming 30,000 would be necessary for a potential bounce. Despite recent volatility, the index has achieved year-to-date growth of approximately 14.88 percent.
