Tech Investor Warning? Nasdaq Duplicates Historic Bearish Pattern

The stock market is still trading near all-time highs. However, it’s been trading with high price volatility for several weeks.

War abroad, geopolitical and domestic politics, and of course the Federal Reserve and interest rates taken together, this is causing the markets to gyrate.

IXIC Monthly Chart

Today, we examine a long-term monthly chart of the NASDAQ Composite to highlight some recent concerns.

Using applied Fibonacci to the 2016 low and 2020 high, we can see that the Nasdaq touched up near its 2.618 Fibonacci extension in July.

This resistance appears to be important… especially when we consider the past two monthly price wicks. Both are very long and indicate confusion.

If history is an example, we recently saw this back-to-back pattern in November/December 2021, which marked a top (and a -30% decline to follow).

In my humble opinion, this is an interesting pattern to follow heading into September. Careful here and stay tuned.
