The Nasdaq 100 stayed below its all-time high for 100 days, its longest streak since 2023, which has caught the attention of investors and analysts. And the fact that this index is only 10% below its recent peak supports the idea that we might see a turnaround soon, given the history.
Data shows that we are currently looking at the sixth time that the Nasdaq 100 remained below its all-time high for quite some time while staying within 10% of the peak after 1985. In all five previous cases, the index showed a marked propensity to make a comeback.
Just one month later, the Nasdaq 100 was either unchanged or up 80% of the time, with an average increase of 1.1%. The scenario got even better two months after, with the average return reaching 2.3% and the success rate remaining at 80%.
