Berger: Why I am shorting the Nasdaq 100

457 views
The Nasdaq 100 has rallied almost 15% since late September, but Serge Berger says he is looking to short sell the index and here's why.

Most tech firms in the US stock index have reported their quarterly earnings except for Facebook, which is due to report on November 4.  According to Berger, a rising wedge pattern is emerging indicating the index could soon see a retracement. 

While Berger still sees year-end growth for tech companies, he says the index is seeing a lot of technical resistance, which is likely to put the current rally on pause.  He is looking to sell the Nasdaq 100 at USD 114 or lower with a stop loss at USD 116. Berger’s target for the trade is USD 108.50.
