Nasdaq 100 - Headed to 2022 lows after the bear market rally top

Güncellendi
As the Jackson Hole economic symposium unravels in Wyoming, market participants are looking for clues about the future steps of the Federal Reserve, with many traders expecting a hawkish speech from Jerome Powell. However, one question lingers: “Will we see another irrational melt-up in the market despite the mounting evidence that the U.S. economy is headed into a deeper recession toward the end of 2022?.”

Unfortunately, we do not know the answer to this question. But we know that the FED's hawkish stance on pursuing more rate hikes and economic tightening will inadvertently exert more pressure on the U.S. stock market. Indeed, we think these fundamental reasons will lead to risk aversion, manifesting in the selloff leading to 2022 lows.

In addition to that, over the past two weeks, the Nasdaq 100 index showed an inability to move higher, leading us to speculate about the bear market rally's top. Although, we still seek more confirmations of our bearish assumptions. Despite that, we remain bearish on the Nasdaq 100 index and maintain a price target of 11 000 USD. For QQQ, we maintain a price target of 300 USD.

The bullish breakout above the 0.382 Fibonacci level occurred. We will pay attention to the price action during the Powell's speech and after it.

After the breakout's immediate invalidation, the market has drifted down 2.5% so far. We are very bearish as developments we outlined previously are taking place. We are seeing more confirmations of our bearish thesis.
