The US stock markets rallied during the week, especially on Friday once we had jobs number coming out hotter than anticipated. The market looks likely to continue to go higher, especially if you pay attention to the NASDAQ 100.
The Dow Jones 30 initially fell during the week but then the rallied significantly, especially on Friday as the jobs number in America came out at 313,000. As a very bullish number, and it looks as if the Dow Jones 30 has a bit of catching up to do with the NASDAQ 100 which has shown such a bullish proclivity. I believe that the market will continue to find buyers on dips, as we continue to see plenty of value hunters out there looking to take advantage of a market that seems to be stabilizing quite drastically.
The NASDAQ 100 initially fell during the week, but then exploded to the upside, breaking above the 7000 handle. By doing so, the market looks as if it is ready to continue going higher, and quite frankly I think that now that we have made a fresh, new high, the NASDAQ 100 should continue to see buyers jump in and take advantage of this bullish pressure.
I like buying dips, and I think it’s only a matter of time before regardless what happens now, I don’t have much interest in shorting this market, and I think that if you are patient enough you should see plenty of opportunities to go long in this market. Market participants continue to jump to the US indices, and I think the NASDAQ 100 is going to continue to be one of the first places they go as it looks to lead the rest of the US stock market higher.
