💡 DMK Insight
The mixed close in US stocks signals a potential shift in market sentiment, especially with the Nasdaq’s 3% weekly drop. The Dow’s modest gain of 0.16% suggests some resilience among blue-chip stocks, but the Nasdaq’s decline indicates tech sector weakness, which could impact broader market dynamics. Traders should watch for further volatility, particularly in tech stocks, as earnings reports roll in. If the Nasdaq continues to struggle, it could drag down sentiment across other indices, leading to a more pronounced correction. Key levels to monitor include the Nasdaq’s recent lows, which could serve as a support or breakdown point. Keep an eye on the upcoming economic data releases that might influence market direction, especially if they hint at changing interest rate expectations.
📮 Takeaway
Watch the Nasdaq’s support levels closely; a sustained drop could lead to broader market declines, particularly in tech stocks.
