Technology is the lifeblood of our current economy and dictates future innovation. The sector has also taken a primary leadership role in the 11-year bull market.
But, as most of you are aware, that doesn’t mean that tech stocks are always smooth sailing. In fact, the Nasdaq and tech stocks can be a bumpy ride. Just check out today’s chart!
Displayed here is a “monthly” chart of the NASDAQ Composite, which highlights some a handful of large bearish reversal patterns.
The month of October is not over yet, however, it appears that the Nasdaq Composite Index is creating a rather sizeable bearish reversal pattern. As well, this move to the downside is occurring just after the index kissed the underside of the 261% Fibonacci extension level at (1).
Glancing back at recent history, you can see that a handful of large monthly reversal patterns have lead to significant declines of 25% or more.
Should October close out at current levels and confirm this bearish reversal pattern, it would send a message of caution to investors.
