Nasdaq is confusing everyone ! 🤯

Some interesting data points about nasdaq currently :

  • Almost 2/3rd of the Nasdaq Stocks are in Bear Market (Down more than 20% from Top)

  • 35% of Nasdaq is down over 50%

  • Nasdaq is hardly 3% away from ATHs :slight_smile:

I found some interesting charts of nasdaq on twitter

1. Without the top 5 Stocks, Index is actually down 25% YoY

2. Such Breadth deterioration has occurred only during the peak of tech bubble :astonished:

What do you think? History is gonna repeat and the top 5 will also follow the rest of the pack or will the under-performance reverse for the rest of the nasdaq and the index continues to scale new highs?

Its highlighting the over valuation of the tech index nasdaq to me. But it would be hard to draw any conclusion at this point of time where lots of other factors are at interplay.

This week was kind of rare in the sense that, Nasdaq fell atleast 1% every day of the week :skull_and_crossbones: :skull:

Bloodbath would be the appropriate term for this.

Me thinks a strong short covering is pending next week to kick out the weak shorts or one panic bottom and then recovery.

What do you think folks ?

Agreed that number of companies listed after 2008 will skew this data a bit. But still, the trend remains extremely alarming.
