Market is undergoing a rotational, time-based correction. Unless we lose 2400, overall trend remains in tact.
There’s still more weakness in the Nasdaq 100, and I am holding out hope that we see further weakness continue there. We’ve seen 134 days in a row where the Nasdaq has closed above its 50 day moving average. This streak is an all-time record. It’s possible we just go sideways and vol stays low but I’m making offerings to the market gods that we get a little more selling in tech.
