  • Nasdaq 100: AI-related rally not a bubble, key support holds at 26,760
    April 29, 2026, 4:12 AM EDT. The recent surge in U.S. semiconductor stocks, measured by the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX), has sparked fears of an AI-driven bubble akin to the dot-com era. The SOX gained nearly 40% in April 2026 and rose 137% year-on-year as of late April, still below the 228% peak before the 2000 crash. Unlike the 2000 bubble, current data shows no bearish divergence-a technical warning signal-on the SOX's 12-month rate of change. The Nasdaq 100's key intraday support at 26,760 remains intact, suggesting the bullish trend is stable for now. Market participants remain cautious but see no immediate signs of a bubble bursting event similar in scale or duration to the early 2000s meltdown.
