SpaceX index addition drives ETF flows and buying ahead of rebalance

Informat reports that SpaceX is set to be added to the Nasdaq-100 index before the market opens on July 7, a move which will prompt passive investment funds such as the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF to rebalance their holdings and acquire SpaceX shares. This index inclusion is expected to create additional demand for all index constituents, increasing the volume of inflows and elevating liquidity across the board. The news has sparked buying interest in the Nasdaq 100 as investors anticipate adjustments by major ETFs.

Overbought signals persist as mixed indicators temper bullish momentum

On the hourly chart, NDX trades above the 20-period moving average but remains below the 50-period, while the price holds well above the 200-period moving average on the daily timeframe. Immediate support is marked by the Ichimoku Kijun at 29,367. Looking at indicators, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) signals a Buy bias, whereas the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) signals Strong Sell and the Average Directional Index (ADX) is Neutral. The Stochastic RSI, Commodity Channel Index (CCI), and Bull/Bear Power all occupy overbought territory, reflecting pronounced buyer dominance intraday, while the Awesome Oscillator remains Neutral and does not confirm the current direction.

Sideways bias prevails as decline risk overtakes upside potential

Over the next 2–3 trading days, the expected volatility band is between 29,263 and 29,789. There is a 57% probability of a decline versus a 43% chance of further gains, so upward movement is less likely. The base scenario is for the price to remain sideways within this corridor, with a break above 29,789 opening room to test higher resistance and a move below 29,263 signaling a potential shift toward short-term weakness.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees the upcoming inclusion of SpaceX in the Nasdaq-100 index driving short-term buying interest but remains wary of sustained upside momentum. He notes that technical signals are mixed and overbought conditions raise caution despite elevated sentiment. The base case is for sideways movement within the 29,263–29,789 band, with a higher probability for a pullback than further gains. "Until the index breaks above 29,789, I remain defensive and cautious on chasing the current rally."

Earlier, analysts noted heightened volatility in technology stocks as increasing infrastructure costs and shifting sentiment raised concerns about the sustainability of AI-driven gains. The upcoming inclusion of SpaceX in the Nasdaq 100 marks a notable shift in index dynamics that could bolster liquidity, signaling that investors should monitor for a potential breakout above 29,789 as the key upside risk in the near term.
