NQ-100 Projects Drop to ~27,400/NQ as First Part of Multi-Month Topping Process.
07-18-26 – “Stock indices are in a decisive period – the projected peaks for this overall rally (in force and focus since the March 30, ’26 cycle lows). The late-June ’26 highs – in many indexes – fulfilled multi-month & multi-year upside targets & Cycle Progressions – and are awaiting validation…
At the same time, the NQ-100 fulfilled a multi-month upside range target near 31,000/NQU – linked to its Oct ’25 high (~27,000/NQU) and Mar ’26 low (~23,000/NQU). ~27,000/NQU is now pivotal intermediate support.
It did that while fulfilling its ongoing ~8-month/33 – 36-week Cycle Progression while 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, reinforcing its significance.
The S+P 500 & NQ-100 remain in negative daily trend patterns with the DJIA needing a daily close below 52,026/DJIA to join them. That would turn the daily AND intra-month trends down while closing below the flattening daily 21 Low MAC.
If that occurs on Monday, it would also fulfill near-term analysis for an initial drop into ~July 20, the latest phase of a ~2-month /~60-degree low-low Cycle Sequence that timed intra-month (and often multi-month) lows on Nov 20, Jan 20, Mar 20* & May 20. [*March 20, ’26 low was briefly spiked below on March 27/30th.]… that could be followed by a new decline into… [reserved for subscribers]” TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!
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.”
The NQ-100 peaked in June ‘26 – in lockstep with what was described in 1Q ’26 – and has been reinforcing related sell signals. Corroborating signals are developing… and likely to be triggered in July/August ’26. That should prepare the way for September ’26… and then 4Q ’26!
Currently, it is projecting a pair of declines in the coming weeks – ultimately targeting a drop to ~27,400/NQ… where an initial multi-week low is most likely.
Will NQ-100 Lead New Decline… as in 4Q ‘25?
