...Look at the chart - this has been on the horizon for a while. From the March peak of 5132 to Friday's close of 3029, the general direction of the NASDAQ graph - what's called the trend line - is a consistent downward slope. It's tested its low of 3026 several times, in May, in October, and last week, and, as technical analysts like to say, "there's no such thing as a quadruple bottom."
