The pandemic-driven recession has been a boon to many tech companies. Noting this fundamental advantage, investors have pushed the NASDAQ closer and closer to all-time highs.

Crises tend to accelerate existing trends by accentuating the existing advantages/disadvantages that various industries have. This time around, the pandemic-driven recession has been a boon to many tech companies. Noting this fundamental advantage, investors have pushed the NASDAQ closer and closer to all-time highs even though other indices are still some ways from all-time highs.

The NASDAQ 100 is within 2% of an all-time high after climbing out of bear market territory over the past 2 months:

Market analysis involves uncertainty, and outcomes may differ from expectations. Users should conduct their own due diligence and consider their individual circumstances before making any financial decisions. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
