A Nasdaq technical correction (−10%) is not unusual. Historically, corrections happen almost every year, but not all corrections become bear markets. The key question is whether this is liquidity-driven correction or earnings-driven downturn.


At the moment, the drivers look like:


Higher-for-longer interest rates


Energy prices and inflation uncertainty


Valuation compression in mega-cap tech


Position unwinding after the AI rally



This looks more like a valuation and liquidity reset, not a collapse in tech earnings yet.


Would I reduce positions now?

Reducing heavily after a −10% correction is usually late. Risk management is normally done near highs, not after drawdowns. At this stage, strategy matters more than direction:


If overexposed to Mag 7 → trim slightly and rebalance


If holding long term → corrections are usually hold/accumulate periods


If trading → wait for volatility bottom before re-entering



What I would watch now:


1. Nasdaq −15% level (strong support zone historically)



2. Bond yields direction



3. Nvidia / Microsoft earnings guidance



4. Oil prices and inflation expectations




Simple framework:


−10% = Correction


−15% to −20% = Good accumulation zone


−25% = Bear market risk



So this is probably risk reduction and portfolio rebalance stage, not full move to cash stage unless macro conditions deteriorate significantly.
