Article Summary

US100 remains in a downtrend on the daily chart after failing at the 26,100–26,200 resistance zone and forming a pattern of lower highs and lower lows. Although the price has rebounded from the 22,700–22,800 support area, the momentum is still not strong enough to break the descending channel. Currently, the 23,900–24,000 zone serves as a key resistance; a breakout could extend the recovery toward 24,500–24,600. Conversely, rejection at this level may push the price back to retest the previous support zone.

On the daily timeframe, after failing at the resistance zone around 26,100–26,200, US100 has formed a clear bearish structure with lower highs and lower lows. Although the price has recently recorded a notable rebound from the 22,700–22,800 support area, the upward momentum remains insufficient to challenge the current descending channel, indicating that selling pressure still dominates in the medium term.

US100 continues to maintain a bearish structure on the daily timeframe, with the 24,000 level now acting as a critical threshold in determining whether the current rebound can extend or remains merely a technical correction within the broader downtrend.

Notably, after breaking below the 25,000 level, a bearish crossover between the EMA50 and EMA100 has emerged, further reinforcing the downtrend and reflecting weakening bullish momentum.

At present, the price is approaching the resistance zone around 23,900–24,000 following the rebound from the 22,700–22,800 support area. If US100 manages to break above and sustain movement beyond this level, it could pave the way for a breakout of the descending trendline and extend the recovery toward higher levels, with the nearest target being the dynamic resistance formed by the EMA50 and EMA100 around 24,500–24,600.

On the other hand, if the price fails to break above and continues to face rejection below the 24,000 level, selling pressure is likely to re-emerge, potentially driving the price back to retest the 22,700–22,800 support zone, or even lower if bearish momentum strengthens.
