Nasdaq 100, S&P 500, Dow Jones, and tech giants face critical support levels Concerns about an imminent US recession are casting a shadow over Wall Street, driving the Nasdaq 100 (NDX), S&P 500 (SPX), and Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) toward critical support levels. Following four consecutive weeks of losses, investors face heightened uncertainty amid escalating trade tensions, rising inflation forecasts, declining consumer confidence, and weakening leading economic indicators. Nasdaq 100: First stage of a major correction The Nasdaq 100 has plummeted over 11% from its record high of 22,222. With prices now testing key support at 19,437, the index closed slightly higher at 19,753 (+0.39%) on Friday.

The index has broken its bullish daily structure, signalling the start of a major correction. Critical support at 5,542 must hold to avoid further downside. If support holds, a temporary rebound could reach targets of 5,662, 5,737, 5,858, and 5,932. Failure to maintain 5,542 would lead to the second stage, targeting 5,151. Given current economic pressures, a four-stage correction resembling past corrections is plausible, potentially reaching as low as 4,564.
