Dow Jones rises, but major support is under threat
After three sessions of losses, the Dow Jones is staging a rebound. Yet, the rally comes against a backdrop of fading rate-cut bets, stronger job data, and Powell’s emphasis on labor markets. With the index testing its June trendline, traders now ask: can momentum hold, or will support give way?

SPX 500: Three-day sell-off reached 20-day moving average, a tipping point for a bullish reversal
The US SPX 500 CFD Index retreated 1.9% from its 6,710 peak but held near its 20-day moving average, a key support level. Despite concerns over mega-cap valuations and reduced Fed cut odds, the broader uptrend remains intact. A rebound above 6,635 could confirm a bullish reversal, targeting 6,670/6,745, while failure to hold 6,560 risks deeper declines toward 6,460.

Gold (XAU/USD): In a bullish consolidation above US$3,688 despite a firmer US dollar
Gold (XAU/USD) has remained resilient despite a firmer US dollar, consolidating gains after hitting a fresh all-time high of US$3,791 on 23 September. The precious metal is trading in a bullish continuation pattern, with key support at US$3,688 and resistance at US$3,785. A breakout higher could open scope towards US$3,820–3,865, supported by a still-intact downtrend in US 10-year US Treasury real yields.

Nasdaq 100: Short-term bullish trend remains intact above 24,535 key support
The Nasdaq 100’s short-term bullish trend remains intact above 24,535 support, despite a -0.7% pullback on 23 September amid profit-taking in mega-cap tech. Recent AI-driven optimism, fuelled by Nvidia’s $100B and Oracle’s $300B investments into OpenAI, continues to underpin momentum. Technicals point to potential upside toward 24,890–25,270, while a break below 24,535 could trigger a deeper corrective move.

AUD/USD: Bullish reversal towards 0.6700 major resistance as Australia's monthly CPI rose to a 13-month high
AUD/USD rebounded from its 22 Sep low of 0.6575 after a -2% pull-back, with bullish momentum reinforced by stronger monthly CPI data (3.0% y/y, a 13-month high) and narrowing yield spreads. In today’s Asia session, the AUD outperformed majors, with the USD down -0.4% versus AUD. Near-term bias stays bullish above 0.6580, eyeing resistances at 0.6655 and 0.6680/0.6700, while a break below 0.6580 risks exposing 0.6555.

Nikkei 225: Bullish reversal above 45,000, no negative impact from BoJ’s ETF unwind
The Nikkei 225 extended its bullish run, hitting a record high of 45,956 on 18 Sep before a 3.2% pullback after the BoJ announced plans to unwind ¥79.5T in ETF holdings over decades. Despite this, Japanese equities remain supported by steady earnings upgrades, with the Citigroup Earnings Revision Index rising to 0.34. Technicals favor a bullish bias above 45,000, with resistances at 46,430/46,580 and 46,870.

USD/JPY Technical: USD strength capped (again) below 148.95 range resistance, BoJ keeps rate hike hopes alive
The USD/JPY rebounded after holding 145.95 support but remains capped by 148.75/148.95 resistance. A dovish BoJ shift, with two officials voting for a rate hike, alongside narrowing US-Japan yield spreads, underpins yen strength. Unless USD/JPY breaks above 148.95, risks lean toward a retest of 146.30 and 145.95, with a daily close below the latter likely triggering a medium-term bearish breakout favoring JPY.
