The NASDAQ 100 continues to see a lot of upward pressure, as the market is likely to continue to see a handful of stocks out there driving things higher at this point. This is typical, as bubbles form everywhere, and at varying timelines.
It looks like the NASDAQ 100 is going to try to get to the recent sell-off level near the 18,400 level. But it’ll be interesting to see if we can continue to see this type of pressure, short-term pullbacks continue to be a buying opportunity, especially with the 50-day EMA and the 17,850 level.
Both, I think, offer valuable areas that a lot of traders will look to get involved in. Keep in mind that the NASDAQ 100 is very well known to be a momentum index, and of course, it’s not an equal-weighted one, so it only takes a handful of typical stocks to move this thing.
If we were to break down below the 50 day EMA, that could set the market for a much deeper correction towards the 17,000 level, but right now, it looks like we continue to see plenty of buyers, and I think this will continue to be the way forward as there will always be people out there looking to find value in a market that is so strong.
If we can break out above the recent highs near the 18,450 level, then that opens up the possibility of a move to the 20,000 level. In general, I think you look at each dip as a buying opportunity, and I do think that’s why Wall Street continues to feel the same way. At this point in time, we are likely to continue to see a “buy on the dips” mentality, as the markets remain very much run on liquidity at this point, and not whatever the economy is actually doing.
