The 50-day moving average is a widely followed moving average, whether this breach and close will mean anything, only time will tell. The outcome in the QQQ and Nasdaq composite in the near future will either strengthen or weaken the 50-day narrative.
What I think is more important, is something we mentioned on June 16th, here is the gist of it; The FANG stocks have been under pressure. They had a big sell-off that was followed by a small bounce, and then they sold off again. It's probably not a big deal, but the price action in these stocks before this week was very smooth and now they are loose and volatile. Typically, or at least in the past when the price action went from smooth sailing to loose and volatile it signified a trend change, we'll see. LINK
As you can see in the chart below, you can see the smoothness of the price action in the NASDAQ 100 until 6/9/2017. Since then the price action has been loose and volatile.

The Semiconductor index has been a leader in the market, and like the Nasdaq, the price action went from smooth to loose and volatile.
I would recommend some caution in the tech names until the price action tightens up.

We live in a world in which we are bombarded with information, tweets, blogs, etc., content is the new salesman, content is the new marketing, content is the new networking. With information being so readily available, bloggers try to differentiate themselves with their writing skills, volume, and consistency, putting out blog posts to meet quotas. We are seeking to stand out from the crowd by showing performance, by taking all the information and seeking alpha, that’s the sole purpose of the blog. It won’t always be pretty; it’s never easy, and performance is spotty, but we seek superior risk-adjusted returns, not notoriety for our writing skills. If this is something you can relate to, then this blog is for you.
