Collapsing Nasdaq Momentum – December 2024

Momentum indicators imply the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) may have begun a decline of at least 10%.

The daily IXIC chart courtesy of Trading View updates external momentum.

This websites prior blog noted that IXIC had made a new all-time high without a daily RSI bearish divergence.  On 12/11/ IXIC made a new high,  RSI had a bearish divergence in the overbought zone.

Daily Stochastic had a second bearish lines cross in the overbought zone. 

Maximum internal momentum occurred on 11/06/24.   The Nasdaq – 52 – week high chart courtesy of Barchart.com illustrated this bullish surge and the subsequent collapse.

In a little more than a month Nasdaq – 52-week highs have collapsed.   Much of the rally on 12/11/24 probably came from the “Magnificent Seven” stocks,   five of which made new highs that day. 

The only thing stopping the bears from dominating the near- term action is a surprise upward momentum surge.  This phenomenon happened in mid – July just prior to the IXIC peak on 07/11/24, subsequently IXIC had a three-week 15% mini crash.
