What are the key levels for Nasdaq 100 today?

The primary resistance is 25,000, widely watched as the NDX 25,000 level. First support sits near 23,800, close to the 200-day average. If price clears 25,000 on strong breadth and volume, upside opens. A break below 23,800 risks a slide toward 24,300 to 24,278.

How should India-based investors trade this range?

Use clear triggers. Consider buying near support with tight stops, or waiting for a close above 25,050 for breakouts. Keep risk per trade under 1% of capital. If you invest via feeder funds, a SIP can smooth timing and INR swings during a choppy phase.

What confirms a shift in the S&P 500 range?

A sustained close above recent highs near 7,000 with rising volume, stronger sector breadth, and leadership from cyclicals would signal change. Failing that, repeated rejections near highs keep the S&P 500 range in place and limits follow-through on Nasdaq 100 today rallies.

Does the rupee impact returns from US index funds?

Yes. Rupee depreciation versus the US dollar can add to INR returns from US funds, while rupee appreciation can reduce them. Many India-listed Nasdaq 100 feeder funds are unhedged, so plan for currency swings. Diversify entry using SIPs and avoid short-term bets solely on FX moves.

^NDX Today, February 24: Range Holds; 25,000 Caps Rally, 23,800 Support

ByHuzaifa Zahoor February 24, 2026

Nasdaq 100 today trades inside a firm range, with 25,000 acting as resistance and 23,800 near the 200-day average holding support. A tariff-ruling bounce has not cleared resistance, so we look for a breakout or a retest of support. The S&P 500 and Dow are also consolidating, keeping momentum in check. For Indian investors, this means a day to respect levels, manage risk, and watch global cues like US yields, the dollar, and sector breadth before taking fresh exposure.
