#NasdaqETFUpdate NasdaqETFUpdate: Where is the Market Heading?**
The **NASDAQ**, represented by ETFs like **QQQ** or **XLK**, remains a key thermometer of technology and growth. After a volatile 2023, investors are asking: **what to expect in the short term?**
**Key Factors:**
1. **AI and Megacaps**: The push from artificial intelligence (NVIDIA, Microsoft) continues to be the engine, but the valuation of these stocks could limit abrupt rallies.
2. **Interest Rates**: If the Fed cuts rates in 2024, the NASDAQ could rebound due to the lower cost of money for growth companies.
3. **Technical Resistance**: Levels like **$18,000 in the Nasdaq 100** are key; a breakout would confirm an upward trend.
**Risks:**
- Correction due to weak quarterly earnings.
- Geopolitics (e.g. US-China tensions) or stubborn inflation.
**Conclusion:** The bias is **moderately bullish**, but with volatility. The ETFs aim to capitalize on innovation, but it is advisable to diversify and stay alert to critical supports. 📈🔍
