Chart of the Day
Todayโs Chart of the Day was shared by Nautilus Research (@NautilusCap). The Nasdaq 100 registered its first 52-week high in over a year today. The table shows the prior instances over the past four decades and the forward returns for the Nasdaq and S&P 500. Itโs rare for the Nasdaq to go more than a year without a new 52-week high, so the sample size is small, but the returns are strong. Both indices have always been higher 3, 6, and 12 months later. Of course, thereโs no guarantee that history will repeat itself, but it would be hard to argue that this is bearish.
