Is the Nasdaq 100 in a correction now?

Nasdaq 100 today shows a cooling phase, not a confirmed correction. It lost 25,000 and is testing support near the 200-day moving average around 25,200. If it closes below that area with weak breadth, risk of a deeper pullback rises. A close back over 25,000 reduces near-term downside.

What levels matter most this week for traders?

Nasdaq 100 today is focused on 25,000 as near-term resistance and the 200-day moving average near 25,200 as key support. Secondary references include the Bollinger lower band at 24,450.13 and the middle band near 25,000.80. Closes beyond these marks can signal the next directional move.

How can Australians get exposure to the Nasdaq-100?

Australians often use local ETFs listed on the ASX that track the Nasdaq-100, in hedged or unhedged forms, or invest via U.S.-listed funds through a global brokerage account. Check fees, currency hedging, and tracking differences. Align order placement with U.S. market hours to improve liquidity and reduce slippage.

Should I hedge AUD when buying U.S. tech exposure?

It depends on your view and time frame. Hedged exposure can lower currency swings and smooth returns. Unhedged exposure benefits if AUD weakens versus USD. Many Aussies blend both. Review your goals, rebalance periodically, and match hedge choices to your spending currency and risk tolerance.
