The 5 Best NASDAQ 100 Stocks Today

Nothing spectacular to report  but it looks like the market may have bottomed out.  Below is a chart of the Value Line Arithmetic Index of 1700 stocks which shows the price vs the 20, 50 and 100 day moving averages plus a 14 day turtle channel.  It does not indicate a rebound but does show movement off a bottom.

My support level on major indexes is the 50-100 Day MACD Oscillator and you can see that we are below that level and climbing slightly.  I usually say above the 20 DMA - On Your Mark; above the 50 DMA - Get Set and when you are above the 100 DMA - GO!.

In addition, when I consider the 10,000+ stocks in the Barchart data base the majority are still trading below their moving averages.  As I write this article the percentage trading above their DMAs are:

• 42.13% - 20 DMA
• 20.09% - 50 DMA
• 21.07% - 100 DMA

At the bottom I can say : "Runners" but not "On your mark" just yet.

This morning I used Barchart to sort the NASDAQ 100 stocks first for the highest technical buy signals, then I used the Flipchart feature to review the charts.  Nothing here to really brag about but here are 5 stocks that weren't hurt too bad in the recent market weakness.
