Chart of the Day
🏆 Today's Chart of the Day was shared by Yuriy Matso (@yuriymatso).
- The Nasdaq 100 notched an all-time high for the third week in a row, gaining nearly +2%. It outpaced the Dow and S&P 500 by a decent margin, while the Russell 2000 dropped -1.4%.
- Futures gapped higher on Sunday and never looked back, leaving a rare unfilled gap on the weekly chart. However, buyers and sellers have established a clear line in the sand at 25,870 over the past two sessions.
- Futures initially bounced off this level after $AMZN earnings yesterday, but failed to make a higher high before revisiting it this afternoon. November has historically been a bullish month for stocks, but losing this level could trigger an early-month shakeout.
The Takeaway: The Nasdaq 100 closed higher for the third straight week and seventh consecutive month. Seasonality favors the bulls, but holding above 25,870 will be key next week.
Quote of the Day
"If the market does not rally, as it should during bullish seasonal periods, it is a sign that other forces are stronger and that when the seasonal period ends, those forces will really have their say."
- Edson Gould
