Will the NASDAQ 100 continue its H1 momentum?

 

Tuesday, July 3, 2023

It’s been a Big Tech bonanza, as AI momentum has helped the technology sector materially outperform its peers in 2023. And with the NASDAQ Composite recording its largest first-half rally since 1983, it was the index’s greatest six-month performance since the peak of the dot-com bubble in 1999.
Yet, abnormally high optimism means managing risk will be crucial in the months ahead. CNN’s Fear & Greed Index ended the Jun. 30 session at 80, which is only two points below its 12-month high of 82. In other words, the “Extreme Greed” confronts the U.S. stock market, and prior readings of this magnitude have preceded substantial pullbacks.
Monitoring moving averages is the best way to participate while also limiting your downside risk. Bearish seasonality helped push the NASDAQ 100 to its 20-day moving average, however, support materialised and the uptrend continued.

Similarly, a February breakdown below the 20-day MA was bought near the 50-day MA, while a subsequent breakdown below the 50-day MA ended near the 100-day MA. These levels can help you determine when to enter and exit a position.

 

S&P 500 seasonality has turned bullish, and July is often one of the best months of the year. And with Big Tech holding the largest weight in the S&P 500, its performance is often the driving force.

 

So, can the NASDAQ 100 squeeze out more gains, or is H1 as good as it gets?

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.
