U.S. employment growth in November was less than expected, but the sudden drop in the unemployment rate showed that labor supply was tightening
$S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ $Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ.US)$ $SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average Trust (DIA.US)$ Employment growth in the United States slowed sharply in November due to layoffs by retailers and local government education departments, but the unemployment rate fell to a 21-month low of 4.2%, indicating that labor market supply is rapidly tightening. Data show that in November, non-agricultural jobs in the United States increased by 210,000, the lowest increase since December last year. Although 594,000 people entered the labor market in November, the highest in 13 months, the unemployment rate still fell by 0.4 percentage points from October. The modest employment growth in November did not reduce expectations that the economy will accelerate this quarter after the slowdown in the third quarter.

Columns NDX/QQQ Outlook
$NASDAQ 100 Index (.NDX.US)$ $Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ.US)$
With the current volatile markets, what should you be expecting next week? There have been people calling for santa rally and also some who are calling for a correction. Sometimes technical analysis can let us know where the market might head towards.
QQQ has formed the Head & Shoulders last week as I mentioned on 30th Nov if we do not close above the previous day close and instead head down, we will be looking to form a H&S pattern. True enough on tuesday 29th nov, the market closed lower forming the right shoulder as seen on my chart. On wednesday it broke the neckline and retested it on thursday and friday which both failed to break above. You can see from the chart below.
This has confirmed the head & shoulders pattern and we should be looking at more downside to the NDX/QQQ. On friday close, QQQ has retested the 383 critical support which was the previous all time high and rested above on close. But if the H&S pattern was valid, this critical support should not hold as H&S is usually a reversal of trend and we should be looking at a deeper scale pullback rather than just a 6% fall from the all time high. There is still a gap below at 360s which we created on the recent rally and that might likely get filled this time round.
However, technical analysis is only to assist you on the support and resistance and also to likely know where the market is heading towards. Any major catalyst can change the market direction without any regard to the current technicals. Thus we still have to look forward to the week ahead and take note of the support and resistance levels to see a clearer picture where the market is likely headed towards.
On Weekly chart which is macro view of QQQ, we can see that we have barely touched the 20SMA and there is a lot more room to the downside at the bottom of the bollinger band at 350 levels.
Ultimately the market has barely had any huge corrections this year despite the huge gains and it will not be surprising to see a 15% - 20% correction on the QQQ before we push any further. It is best to stay defensive at this moment as VIX is above the 26 levels. But as the macro trend is still bullish. You have to stay nimble as if a reversal is to come, it will come quickly and that would be your signal to enter for the next rally.
As always, trade safe & invest wise!

If we were to compare the dot com bubble and now, it's quite clear that we are in a much bigger bubble.
Fed Funds Rate were 5.50% back then, but now it is 0%, which have pushed valuation towards insane level (recent tech stock post earnings have shown it quite well - $DocuSign (DOCU.US)$)
A quick look at the table above shows we are in a much worse position right now, so whenever someone says buy the dip, do not forget the dip might go deeper, never ever catch a falling knife. S&P500 took 5 years to recover from it's highs after the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, holding on to those unrealised losses represents a huge opportunity cost.
A higher CPI also indicates the higher likelihood that the Feds will raise rates to normalise rising prices of goods and services.
A lower labour participation rate will generally lead to lower productivity and thereby reducing GDP growth.
Higher debt levels are an indication of a bigger bubble.
Real earning yields = earning growth - inflation rate, is right now at a negative level, which means the earnings are effectively 'ungrowing'.
All signs pointing towards a bear market.
But one thing for sure is, we can never ever be 100% sure. What I can do is to make a judgement based on economic data gathered, and the following week is a crucial one.
One thing to remember is "Earnings will always determine a share's price in the long term."
