Today's Selloff Ended Not Long After Open, But In Some Cases Damage Was Done

As it always does, the selloff today ended not long after the market opened. Indeed, it ended just 20 minutes into the cash market. The good people in Washington, D.C., once again did their duty and bid prices back up. Some sectors, particularly tech-related, have been sold off quite hard and are prone to a more meaningful bounce.

You’ve got such disasters as Peloton (NASDAQ:PTON):

And Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). This one in particular lost more than 25% of its entire value in just a few weeks. My point is that, yes, it might rally back to its horizontal, but I think the damage is done, and there’s much more droopage to come.

This is expressed succinctly by the NASDAQ ETF itself, Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ). The uptrend has quite plainly been broken, and now we can watch those trendlines as levels of resistance as opposed to support.

Thank you, Tim knight.
The charts are abysmal. The scale is impossible to read!
you have about as much chance of being right as the rest of us. Jim Cramer on the other hand, has better track record an a differrent view
Cramer's track record in the 2000 crash was beyond abysmal. Many stocks he recommended dropped more than 95% or even went to zero.

thank you for your analysis
intuit ( software stocks ) are going to create a very negative overhang after their earnings after hours. The turds are starting to fly in all the market internals. I think a lot of buyers are starting to pause.
I dont know Tim. I think today is a good day to buy. Stocks go up when everyones involved. Be like Cathy Wood. Buy the dip.
