Chart of the Day

$QQQ Topping tail right where we broke down in early 2022.

Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Michael Nauss (@MichaelNaussCMT). The Nasdaq 100 was the only major index that closed lower this week, falling -0.90% overall. Michael points out that the long tail on this week’s candle indicates short-term exhaustion. It makes sense that $380 is proving to be resistance for $QQQ, as dip-buyers were murdered at this level when the prior bull market ended. $380 acted as support three times before eventually breaking in January 2022. From there, it slid -30%, leaving dead bodies or overhead supply at $380. After a historic rally in the first half of 2023, the Nasdaq can afford some short-term weakness. A period of digestion could be considered healthy and necessary to sustain a long-term uptrend. Also, the Nasdaq seems to be passing the baton to the Dow and Russell 2000, allowing these two laggards to potentially catch up to the tech-heavy leaders (Nasdaq & S&P 500).

Some red in the bigger (more important) names, but not a bad week overall. Homebuilders got hit, but after the run they've been on, probably need to cut them some slack. Semis also a little red. But big picture...majority green. pic.twitter.com/w1KAYdR2wo

Going back to 1900, there have only been 18 prior 10-day winning streaks for the oldest US index.

That's about one every 7 years on average! pic.twitter.com/64m9tQJIsR

The S&P 500 has crossed above the 76.4% retracement of its peak-to-trough decline. After all declines of 20%+ (bear markets) since 1929, the retracement proved the start of a new uptrend. No retests of former lows. Gains post the 76% retrace were stronger than average - see below pic.twitter.com/fUqvD0AfVi

Commodities & the US dollar are usually inversely correlated, but for much of the last two years they've become more positively correlated (i.e., moving together). Given commodities are typically priced in USD, one would expect this to revert back to "usual." pic.twitter.com/dIUEv8vFIb
