Nasdaq 100 enters a technical correction: down more than 10% from its 10/6 high, for the third time this year
Yahoo Finance: The Nasdaq 100 closed Friday at 28,189.45, down about 10.1% from its intraday high of 31,361.37 on 10/6. LiveMint says this is the third technical correction of 2026 (following the Iran conflict and the summer semiconductor sell-off). This week’s catalysts included earnings from Alphabet, Amazon, and Intel, as markets questioned the timeline for returns on massive AI spending. The Nasdaq Composite fell roughly 2.6%–3.5% on Friday (Reuters/CNBC).
[View] The market narrative has shifted from “Can they raise money?” to “Can shareholders get adequate returns?” Valuation compression often lasts longer than the impact of a single negative catalyst. The S&P 500 Equal Weight Index had previously shown relative strength, while consumer staples held up, suggesting sector rotation rather than a simple flight to safety.
[Opportunity/Risk] Watch Asian tech sentiment over the weekend and volatility ahead of the 11/3 midterm elections. If the NDX holds around 28,000, it could see an oversold bounce; if it breaks below that level, AI picks-and-shovels stocks and risk assets may remain under pressure. Do you see more of a “rotation opportunity” or “continued flight to safety”?
