A tech stock breakout defies market bears and signals strength into year-end, analyst says

Strength in technology stocks as U.S. equities enjoy a bounce off their October lows looks like a breakout that signals the potential for strength into year-end, a technical analyst said Thursday.

The Technology Select SPDR ETF XLK is breaking out above the downtrend in what technicians call a bullish flag pattern while the relative price makes new highs, Dempter said . The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP index eked out a gain Monday for its ninth straight rise, while the S&P 500 SPX rose for an eighth straight day, the longest winning streaks for both indexes in two years. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA snapped a seven-day winning streak Wednesday.
