With the Nasdaq 100 logging about a 30% gain for 2024, it’s hard to imagine that incredible bullish continuing into 2025. But it is definitely possible!

Last week, I wrote about CSCO stock, one of the stocks filtered in my StockCharts Technical Rank (SCTR) scan. At the time, I was waiting for CSCO’s stock price to pull back to its 21-day exponential moving average (EMA). Well, it happened a lot quicker than I...
