Global equities climbed to a more than two-year peak with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 closing at a record high on the previous session,as strong earnings offset renewed jitters related to US regional banks.

However,some analysts have questioned how long the tech boom can possibly last.The Magnificent Seven are facing high bars to sustain gains after the group doubled its value last year.

The reporting season has been mixed.Despite a still-blistering overall performance,Apple sales in China was weaker than feared and tesla is burdened by plunging demand for EVs and the impact of price cuts on margins.

JPMorgan’s quantitative strategists last week noted this is drawing similarities with the dot-com bubble,raising the risk of a selloff.They added that the broader index will likely outperform the group in the near future.

Wagers on declines in tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 futures have been completely erased.Citi warned that investor positioning in the popular sector is so bullish that any selloff could trigger a wider rout.

The index had little difficulty in defying resistance levels.Technical indicators clearly show that it is poised for more gains down the road.Still it might work to go short on an RSI above 70 for quick money.
