NDX Nasdaq-100 Index

$NDX I have never seen so many people be outright bearish when this is probably the healthiest consolidation we've seen since 2023. Mind you we went out on the monthly at all time highs. I know people will highlight XLU and XLB today, which arent the safety names you think (since they smoked the last couple of months, just like TLT). What they are and will be IMO, is the breadth expansion that everyone seems to look for (which we had in August if you remember RSP). I think many are thinking that are pull money out of the markets while it's a topping process (sound smart right now), but what happens, just for a minute ponder, if you are wrong? The question is are you smarter then Jensen or a better business man???

$NDX $SPY The entire US economy is dependent on the AI capex spend to continue at its current pace. If that spending slows, the US will go into a recession.

$NDX Nasdaq100 index. Investors continue treat AI as the only visible supercycle that can still deliver earnings growth in an ugly macro backdrop. As long as results and capex keep confirming that, the “go higher” trade can absorb more uncertainty than the classic rates-and-recession playbook would suggest. The trend is your friend till it ends, period.

$NDX Incredible stat. The weekly 20 SMA crossed over the 50 SMA in 1995. It didn't cross below it again for 5 years!

Comparing the Korean index’s pullback with the Nasdaq’s is like comparing water with wine they’re not the same thing. The KOSPI surged roughly 122% to its June peak and remains up about 32% year-to-date. $NDX Nasdaq 100 is up just 18.6% year-to-date in 2026

$NDX Everyone wants to know "when will the NDX have a bear market?. I love weekly trendlines to look for breaks, but on a monthly, the cross of the ATR trailing stop worked well in 2000 and 2008.

$NDX $GRRR Whole market is down so no point in stressing. Gorilla is not alone when it comes to red days the past weeks.

$NDX So much for manias. In relation to historical cycles, the NDX isn't that far from its weekly 200 SMA. In 2000, for instance, it traded more than 150% above that same level!

$NDX $SPY $QQQ Yesterday, Tech Futures staged an impressive intraday rebound and closed near flat. Today, we’ve already taken out yesterday’s low. A reminder that fear is still the dominant sentiment, with most of the narrative centered around A.i and Tech.

$NDX $SPY Hedge funds have boosted long positions in Nasdaq 100 futures to their highest levels since 2017:

$NDX $QQQ In the markets, STRENGTH most often creates MORE STRENGTH. Below is some data showing that when the NASDAQ is +20% or more through 3 quarters (like this year), it has been higher 82% of the time the rest of the year and 91% of the time 6-months later. The returns are also significant with averages of +14% and +21% respectively over those time frames. Check out 1999 - it was +54% in the final 3 months and +76% over 6 months - WOW!

$NDX $SPY Some wired feeling that the manipulators will conjure up and narrate some negativity for AI stocks tomorrow to get the prices lower. Cautious there. But dips will be watched closely and possible buying/adding opportunities will present themselves.

U.S. markets are watching a pullback in AI-related stocks as the Nasdaq-100 falls 3.07% week to date, despite remaining up 18% in 2026. South Korea’s tech-heavy ETF has dropped about 12% this week and 29% from its June high, while the Dow is up 1% this week and 8.6% year to date, reflecting a rotation toward defensive stocks. Consumer staples are the strongest sector this week, gaining 3.7%, with Coca-Cola up 31% year to date and Nike and Kimberly-Clark rising 6.6% and 7%, respectively, this week. Apple preorders for its new foldable phone begin Friday; shares are up nearly 26% in 2026. Charles Schwab is in focus after earnings, with core net new assets rising 38% in the quarter. Jim Cramer sees potential value as the stock trades below 15 times estimated 2026 earnings, despite falling 5.8% year to date and 18% from its August high. Investors will also monitor Friday’s results and commentary from Travelers, M&T Bank, Citizens Financial, Regions Financial and Truist. $NDX $EWY $IWM

$NDX $SPY those are some high iq tweets doesn’t work with noobs here. Burry was right all along??

$NDX The INTERNET BUBBLE burst sucked for "buy-and-hold" trades. The $NDX was -78% peak-to-trough... For TRADERS? It was AWESOME! Here is a chart showing the bounces. I remember because I traded it!

$NDX Disclaimer: Not financial advice, for discussion only. I think US equities will trade sideways with higher volatility in coming quarters. The broad easy rally is over; this becomes a stock-picker market. AI large-caps stay important, but rich valuations make them sensitive to rates and earnings. Fed policy is the main variable. I will focus on quality firms with strong free cash flow, keep position sizes small and hold cash. Chasing rallies is risky. Main risks: inflation rebound, bond yield spikes and geopolitical risks. Patience and risk management are key.

Non-commercials' net longs in #Nasdaq mini futures highest since Jun '17. $NDX, after last Fri's feeble breakout past Jun '26 high, builds on it this week w/ Tue tagging 31361 but only to end week at 30883, for weekly doji and not too far away from Jun high 30762. $QQQ

$540 Billion Added To The US Stock Market Today As The Nasdaq Hits A New All Time High. This Is Happening Despite: 1. ISM Services PMI Coming In Lower Than Expected. 2. US 20-Year and 30-Year Treasury Yields Hitting Fresh 24-Year Highs $NDX $DJIA $RUT $SPY $BTC.X

For some investors, the volatile situation is leading to a more intent focus on core balance sheet metrics led by free cash flow, which measures the cash left over after expenses, interest, taxes and long-term investments. Return on equity, net debt leverage and earnings consistency have also moved to a more central location on the radar of investors, said Todd Rosenbluth, head of research and editorial at TMX VettaFi. Just how much companies are spending to generate long-term growth on AI, and which companies can actually handle that capex load, are implicit in the flight to quality mindset. “With expectations that spending on AI is being revisited, investors are turning toward companies that they have confidence will continue to grow despite the shifting environment,” Rosenbluth said. $NDX

If $NDX holds +2% into the afternoon with SOX still ripping, this stops being a dead-cat and starts looking like a genuine squeeze of last week’s oil/yield short.
