NASDAQ Potentially to Outperform 1st quarter of 2017

Nasdaq futures have trailed both the SP500 & DOW since last quarter of 2016. Even the Russell 2000 have gotten the better move ahead of it. But finally it caught up with Tech stocks delivering the goods as we are near the closing of the first trading month of January 2017.

NASDAQ Futures As of Jan 27, 2017

Based on our recent analysis mid-way through the DOW's breaking 20k, the last major component in the mix that we had been waiting for and believe have triggered the momentum came from the alignment of the three (3)  e-mini futures when the Nasdaq 100 futures broke the 5k a week earlier that drove us to vividly expect a major move in the making. The conclusive evidence that indeed proved to be true came about after a week when the rally above the 20k materialized.

CORRELATION is a strong component for a successful trading strategy.

  3. Both the DOW & NASDAQ are setting newer highs as of this writing trading @20135, and @5683 for the NASDAQ. Meanwhile, SP500 is reattempting to break through 2300 & when these indices do then a buildup of market momentum can be expected to emerge

  6. Revisiting this market call last January 25-28, 2017, have been an exceptional run until today August 24, 2018 exactly 1 year and 7 months. NASDAQ tech stocks are the dominant drivers from where they came from and where they are priced at as of today.

    Although, we expected the results well, but the extended time frame has always fascinated us while the market's endurance and power to sustain its directional trend have also been well supported by corporate earnings, employment figures and US economic growth.

    Meanwhile, others have been contemplating as to what would derail this market has been more speculative rather than market acceptance. Where we have found some prominent hedge funds, professional money managers doubling down and calling a decline. And now the major indices are again retesting their record highs.

    It's always a good trading discipline to keep track of a trading journal of market calls & events that would still be used effectively as a reference. As to how such strategic trade plays have been applied to achieve and derive such conclusive analysis with exceptional results.
