Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) Losing Momentum: Top or Consolidation?

It’s been a tremendous year for stock market bulls.

And a similar theme has emerged. Tech stocks are providing leadership, lead by the AI craze.

In the latest bull move off the April low, there have been several short consolidations that have lead to a breakout higher (again and again).

Currently, the Nasdaq 100 ETF (NASDAQ: QQQ) is in a sideways consolidation with momentum slowing. Will be interesting to see if we get yet another breakout… or if this leads to a legitimate pullback.

The chart speaks for itself. We had a similar consolidation in August that lead to a breakout higher. The recent consolidation is a bit “heavier” so it will be interesting to see how it breaks.
