- Strong underlying fundamentals and earnings growth from key components within the Nasdaq 100 could justify current valuations and drive further gains.

- Any unexpected slowdown in consumer spending or corporate earnings within the Nasdaq 100 could expose current elevated valuations to downside risk.
