From Investor’s Business Daily’s “Dow Jones Futures: Beware The Megacap Rally” posted early Friday:
Dow Jones futures and S&P 500 futures turned slightly lower Friday morning while Nasdaq futures futures rose. Applied Materials (AMAT) and Palo Alto Networks (PANW) earnings in focus were in focus.
The stock market rally was mixed Thursday, but it was a strong day for tech giants. Nvidia (NVDA) surged on earnings, also lifting up rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and providing a tailwind for chip names. Amazon.com (AMZN) and Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) flashed buy signals, joining Apple stock, which extended Wednesday’s breakout amid fresh Apple Car buzz.
With Apple, Amazon, Nvidia and other megacaps leading the charge, the Nasdaq 100 hit a record high. It’s looking extended from the 50-day line once again, raising the risk of another pullback. Those tech titans also are masking some weakness beneath the surface.
Charts: Yahoo!Finance sees a bullish bottom triangle pattern. Max pain is stuck at $150 with a cal mountain at $155.
Apple mentions on WallStreetbets are up to 255% in the past 24 hours. Apple is #2 now.
AAPL is up over $2 and is just a shade under $160. If it passes $160 who else is underwater?
