Are we forming an IHS on the Nasdaq 100 ???

COVID-19 has brought the tech stocks into focus over the traditional brick and mortar businesses. Businesses like NFLX, ANZN, GOOGL, MSFT, SHOP etc are either making new highs or near their 52 week high. In the coming few weeks we will find out if we break to new highs or rollover and sink to make it an ABC plunge !!!

Comment:

Since posting the chart Nasdaq has moved to create a textbook IHS. It is currently within 5% of its life time high and continues to lift higher.

As predicted Nasdaq continues to outperform the DOW and the S&P500. It is clear that investors tend to favor technology companies and those that utilize internet as the medium to distribute their products and services to their customers. The divergence seems to have accelerated post April 14, 2020 with the start of the earnings season for 1Q2020. Technology companies continue to beat analysts forecast and are outperforming companies in the broader economy with traditional distribution and manufacturing operations.
