Nasdaq-100 swings 2% intraday, closes near session low at 29,671
The Nasdaq-100 fell 1.6% to 29,670.95 on June 17 after a volatile session that saw the index swing 2% from its intraday high to low.
The index opened at 30,160.74 and briefly touched 30,208.94 before reversing sharply. Selling pressure intensified through the afternoon, pushing the tech benchmark to a low of 29,604.93 before it settled near the bottom of the range.
Trading volume reached 1.26 billion shares, reflecting elevated activity as the index recorded its widest intraday range in recent sessions. The close at 29,670.95 marked a decline of approximately 490 points from the opening level, with the bulk of the selling concentrated in the latter half of the session.
The 2% amplitude shows heightened uncertainty among traders, with the index failing to hold above the 30,000 level after opening above it. The inability to sustain gains above 30,200 suggests resistance at that level, while the close near the session low leaves the 29,600 area as a near-term support to watch.
