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.

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.

USD/JPY Technical: Yen eyeing a medium-term bullish breakout against USD from a 5-month range
USD/JPY remains under pressure, holding near key support at 145.95 after slipping to 146.20 in Asia trade. While the US dollar has broadly weakened in recent weeks, its bearish momentum versus the yen has lagged. With the FOMC decision, dot plot, and Powell’s remarks in focus, momentum signals point to potential further downside. A break below 145.95 may trigger a medium-term bearish move toward 145.20.

Dow Jones (DJIA) Technical: Resting at key support ahead of FOMC, watch the US Treasury yield curve to trigger a bullish move
The Dow Jones (DJIA) staged a bullish breakout above 45,780, hitting a new all-time high of 46,140 before pulling back -1.1% to 45,645 ahead of the Fed’s policy decision and dot plot release. The index’s outlook remains tied to the US Treasury yield curve, where a potential re-steepening on dovish Fed guidance could fuel the next bullish leg. Key support is at 45,780/45,690, with resistance at 46,180 and 46,570.
