A painful half is finished for the Nasdaq-100. Now there could be signs of a turn.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the 11,069 level. NDX peaked in that area in July 2020 and bounced there 3-1/2 months later. The index returned to hold the same support in mid-June 2022.
Second, notice how prices held about 2.6 percent above that low in the past week. Could it be a higher low, after six miserable months of lower lows? Some technicians may view that as a potential sign of the bearish trend fading.
Third, NDX probed below Friday’s low yesterday before rallying back above its high. That kind of outside candle is a potential bullish reversal pattern.
Next, this chart includes two of our custom scripts: Distance from MA and MA streak. Both are plotted using the 10-day simple moving average (SMA).
The line chart shows how last month’s low was the lowest versus the 10-day SMA since the nadir of the coronavirus crash in March 2020.
The histogram illustrates how the 10-day SMA has frequently shifted direction since that oversold condition. It could be another sign of the trend running its course and losing cohesion.
Earnings season is around the corner, bond yields are slipping and commodities are falling. Those macro changes could also be potentially favorable for the Nasdaq -- especially considering the pain caused by inflation earlier this year.
