Understand what’s happening beneath the surface.
When the market pulls back, it’s difficult to know whether weakness is limited to a few stocks or spreading across the broader market.
SentimenTrader combines market breadth, sentiment indicators and historical research to help you understand conditions, evaluate risks and identify opportunities.
69% of Nasdaq 100 stocks were at least 10% below their 52-week highs, compared with 55% of S&P 500 stocks. Weakness was more widespread among Nasdaq 100 stocks.
Historical perspective
A separate study identified 17 historical matches to the Nasdaq 100’s 65-trading-day price pattern through November 2. Of those, 16 were higher one year later, although some experienced substantial further declines along the way.
What does this mean for investors?
Nasdaq 100 stocks showed more widespread weakness, while similar historical price patterns often preceded gains over the following year. Those recoveries could still involve deep declines. Your investment horizon, and how much further downside you can tolerate, matter when evaluating a pullback.
