Has the NASDAQ 100 completed its correction?

Tuesday July 30, 2024

It’s a big week for Big Tech, as heavyweights like Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Apple, and Amazon report earnings. And as the FOMC releases its Monetary Policy Statement on July 31, volatility could be amplified as investors digest the repercussions.
However, while the 2024 winners have suffered mightily lately, on July 25 Wedbush analysts said, “We believe this tech sell-off will be short-lived as the Street better digests results and commentary from the broader tech sector over the coming weeks during earnings season.”
“This is the start… not the end of this tech bull run in our view fuelled by this AI tidal wave of spending on the doorstep.”
Though Friday’s comeback was constructive and fundamental optimism is high, history implies that patience may be prudent in the days ahead.

The NASDAQ 100 bounced near its 20-week moving average (the blue line) on July 25. But, during the 2020/2021 bull market, four corrections ended with the index cutting through the 20-week MA and finding support near the 30-week MA (the yellow line). Likewise, the three major pullbacks during this 2023/2024 bull run resulted in the index dipping below the 20-week MA.

When you add it all up, the last seven bull market corrections didn’t end until the NASDAQ 100 breached its 20-week MA, which hasn’t meaningfully occurred yet. Consequently, more weakness could be ahead if the index repeats its historical pattern.

If not, and the NASDAQ 100 holds the 20-week MA during this week’s earnings and FOMC volatility, it may be a sign that this time is different.

So, is Friday’s relief rally poised to reverse, or has the NASDAQ 100’s correction run its course?

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
