Weekly NASDAQ Update: +27% Annual Returns Since 1999 – Here’s What the Model Says Now
Our Tactical NASDAQ Model turned $10K into over $5 million with 27% annual returns since 1999 — crushing the NASDAQ. This week’s update reveals the model’s current position, market signals, and more.
📅 Date: 17.05.2025
Last week, the NASDAQ 100 continued its impressive rebound after a period of consolidation, posting strong gains and reclaiming key technical levels.
Weekly Performance: The index gained approximately +3.2%, powered by strength in large-cap tech and semiconductor names.
Market Drivers: The move was supported by better-than-expected inflation data and a dovish tone in the latest Fed minutes, which increased market confidence in a potential rate pause this summer.
Technical Outlook:
The index successfully closed back above the 200-day moving average (currently near 4910).
It also broke through short-term resistance in the 4880–4890 range.
The RSI pushed past 59, indicating continued bullish momentum.
Looking Ahead:
The NASDAQ 100 now sits in a bullish technical setup. If the breakout holds, a move toward the previous highs could be in play. However, the 5000–5030 zone remains a major resistance area to watch.

📊 Backtest Results (1999-2025):
💡 Why This Works
Unlike traditional investing, this model avoids catastrophic losses by dynamically shifting between 3x leveraged Nasdaq ETFs (TQQQ/3QQQ) and cash (T-Bills) when the trend weakens. I chose the worst start time in NASDAQ history, just before the dotcom bubble burst. However, the performance is tremendous.
✅ Survived the Dotcom Bubble (-29% vs. -99%)
✅ Handled 2008 better than Buy & Hold (-34% vs. -93%)
✅ Managed 2022 tech sell-off with controlled losses (-46%)
Here you can see the incredible performance:
