Nasdaq Monthly Chart Outlook

Dec 25, 2022

If the markets follow the projected path from October, a test of the 9,900 to 10,500 ranges will probably mark a bottom. In other words, if they follow the 1973-74 pattern, a test of the above ranges will make for an enormous opportunity (the purple support line in the 1st part of the chart). Will the Nasdaq follow this path; nothing is written in stone. However, if it were to happen, it would provide a mouth-watering opportunity for Tactical Investors. Market Update September 11, 2022

The above objectives were satisfied. It dipped to the low 10K ranges and held. Shortly after that, it reversed course and started to trend higher. In November, the Nasdaq experienced two blistering rallies, so it is now paving the way for a test of the 12,300 to 12,600 range. There is a good chance that a close at or above 12,600 will pave the way to take out its Aug highs.
