NQ-100 Reinforcing Projected Peak; Topping Process Beginning.
07-08-26 – “Stock indices entered a decisive period in late-June/ early-July ’26 – the upside timing target for this overall rally (from the March 30, ’26 cycle lows). From the perspective of the NQ-100, this time frame has been in focus since Oct ’25 – when the previous phase of the corresponding ~8-month/~33 – 36-week Cycle Progression precisely timed a peak.
During the subsequent ~5 months (Nov ’25 – March ’26), that Cycle Progression was cited as one of the reasons why the NQ-100 should decline into late-March/ early-April ’26 and then rally into mid-2026. The NQ-100 bottomed in close adherence to that analysis… and is now attempting to peak in similar adherence.
On a cash basis, the NQ-100 set 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. Multiple short-term trends (daily, intra-month & 21 MAC) quickly validated that and have not (yet) changed…
The NQ-100 remains in a negative daily trend pattern (S+P 500 is neutral, from down) and may have set multi-month highs in June ’26 – in sync with the majority of weekly & monthly cycles in the S+P 500…
Reinforcing this, the NQ-100 set a second consecutive lower high last week while testing its descending daily 21 High MAC & month-opening range resistance at 30,575/NQU.
Since June 10th, the NQ-100 has maintained its daily downtrend (though turning it neutral a few times) and again reversed lower while fulfilling the latest phase of a ~2-week/14-day low (May 19) – high (June 2) – high (June 16) – (high; June 30, ‘26) Cycle Progression.
On the July 7th & 8th closes, it was back below its declining daily 21 Low MAC… but the NQ-100 needs a daily close below 29,328/NQU to turn its intra-month trend down and corroborate this latest reversal lower. If that occurs, it would project a decline into [reserved for subscribers]…” TRADING INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL RISK!
Stock Indexes have 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. 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. 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!
Will NQ-100 Lead New Decline… as in 4Q ‘25?
