Chart of the Day
🏆 Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Jason Goepfert (@jasongoepfert).
- The Nasdaq 100 ($QQQ) has become extremely overbought as it continues to print record highs. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reached its most overbought reading since 2018 today, closing at 81.5.
- Jason points out that RSI on $QQQ will likely hit 82 for the seventh time since inception. He suggests that it hasn’t paid to fade $QQQ after an extremely overbought reading.
- ‘Extremely Overbought’ might sound bearish, but it’s really not. It just means the underlying bid is unusually strong. That’s often a recipe for higher prices, not lower ones.
The takeaway: The Nasdaq 100 ($QQQ) hasn’t been this overbought since 2018, but that’s not necessarily bad. If anything, this is typical bull market behavior.
Quote of the Day
“Markets may initially trend for fundamental reasons, but prices overshoot by ludicrous amounts. At some point, prices go up today simply because they went up yesterday.”
