Nasdaq 100: Down 1.49% to 29,548 — RSI Signals Overbought
Published: August 18, 2026 · MarketsFN Team
| Index | Price | Change | RSI(14) | SMA-20 | 52W High | 52W Low |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nasdaq 100 | 29,548 | -1.49% | 75.9 | 29,031 | 30,661 | 22,953 |
The Nasdaq 100 is actively quoting at 29,548 (-1.49%), reflecting a pullback from the previous close of 29,995 as investors react to broader market volatility and profit-taking after a strong rally. This decline signals potential caution among traders, particularly given the index's recent ascent towards its 52-week high of 30,661.
Technically, the Nasdaq 100 remains above both its 20-day simple moving average (SMA-20) at 29,031 and its 50-day simple moving average (SMA-50) at 29,307, indicating a bullish trend despite the current retracement. However, the RSI(14) at 75.9 suggests the index is in overbought territory, which could lead to further selling pressure as traders reassess their positions.
Looking ahead, the key support level to watch is the SMA-50 at 29,307, while resistance remains near the 52-week high of 30,661. A decisive break below the SMA-50 could signal a deeper correction, while a rebound could reaffirm bullish momentum.
