Cup and Handel Breakouts Delivered an Average 10% Gain this Week

The NASDAQ was the only index to lose ground (-0.3%) this week as "The top-weighted technology sector underperformed, shedding 0.2%, but remains 2018's top-performing group with a year-to-date gain of 15.6%" (Briefing.com). A glance at the three month daily chart below shows that when pulling back, the NASDAQ finds support at the 50 day moving average, which was the case on Wednesday and Friday.
