NQ-100 Nearing ~27,400/NQ Target; Portends Late-July Low & Multi-Week Reactive Rally.
07-25-26 – “Stock indexes are mixed with the NQ-100 reversing its weekly trend down as it reinforces its mid-year peak, the fulfillment of the projected surge from late-March/early-April ’26 cycle lows. That weekly trend signal could allow for an initial low to take hold this week and trigger a reactive rally…
Stock Indices are moving the needle forward as they continue to trace out a multi-week topping & reversal (lower) process. This took hold after the NQ-100 and other indexes fulfilled the outlook for projected peaks in the mid-year period – when multi-month & multi-year upside targets & Cycle Progressions converged.
The NQ-100 fulfilled a multi-month upside range target (~31,000/NQU) while fulfilling its ongoing ~8-month/33 – 36-week Cycle Progression and setting its highest weekly close on June 18, 2026 – 33 weeks from the late-Oct ’25 peak. That completed a 50% rebound in time – dropping for 22 weeks and rallying for 11 weeks…
That overlapped a developing sell-off in the NQ-100 that was presaged by many tech/AI stocks peaking in May/June ’26 and triggering multi-week sell signals. The NQ-100 dropped to its rising weekly 21 High MAC (28,511/NQU) after neutralizing its weekly uptrend multiple times – setting up the past week as a decisive one.
The NQ-100 closed the week below that level and simultaneously turned its weekly trend down – two lagging/confirming indicators that reinforce the multi-month outlook. In many cases, those reversals occur near the culmination of an initial decline (the coming week?) and trigger a reactive 1 – 3-week rebound.
That is currently the case in the NQ-100.
Stock indices fulfilled projections for an initial sell-off into ~July 20th followed by a brief bounce. Indexes like the S+P Midcap 400 have not turned their daily trend down, so a spike high is possible” TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!
The NQ-100 peaked in June ‘26 – in lockstep with what was described in 1Q ’26 – and triggered reinforcing sell signals that projected an overall decline to multi-month support at ~27,400/NQ. The coming week is the ideal time for a spike down to that primary objective… and the onset of a reactive 2 – 3-week rally into mid-August ’26. This decline is ‘casting shadows ahead’ to September ’26… and then an even more decisive period in 4Q ‘26!
On an intra-year basis, Stock Indexes surged from a powerful convergence of daily, weekly & monthly Cycle Progressions and timing indicators that projected (well in advance) a multi-month bottom on March 30, ’26. That set the stage for the remainder of 2026 and provided some revealing clues for 2Q – 4Q 2026 – including the likely timing of a future multi-month low. As described in late-March ’26:
3-30-26 – “Stock Indices are fulfilling the outlook for a large sell-off in March ’26… They have stretched their declines into the late-March/early-April ’26 time frame – the ideal ~2-week period for a 1 – 2 month low to take hold… A low on March 30 – April 3, ’26 would also fulfill a ~51-week low (Apr 24 – 28 ’23) – low (Apr 15 – 19, ’24) – low (Apr 7 – 11, ’25) – (low; March 30 – April 2, ’26) Cycle Progression.
All things (timing indicators) considered, March 30th is the ideal date for an intermediate low…
The DJTA (Transportation Average) is reinforcing this… it turned its daily trend up… portending a quick, reactive 2 – 3 day pullback before a larger rally. The 3rd day of that reactive 2 – 3-day pullback is today – March 30th. It has not even neutralized its daily uptrend, reinforcing the potential for a secondary low and the onset of a larger advance.”
