Nasdaq 100 Enters Third Correction in 2026 Amid Weak Tech Earnings and Market Volatility
The Nasdaq 100 index faced its third technical correction in 2026, dropping over 10% from recent highs amid heavy selling of tech stocks following disappointing earnings from major companies like Alphabet, Amazon, Intel, and ServiceNow. Investor concerns about returns on artificial intelligence investments and increased capital spending contributed to market volatility. The selloff extended to cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin declining after a major exchange hack, while safe-haven assets like U.S. Treasuries gained amid geopolitical tensions involving Iran.
