Will the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) Sell Off in January 2025?

In today’s video, we explore potential scenarios for the Nasdaq 100 ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ) through January 2025. While seasonal strength often boosts year-end performance, results can vary as we transition into January.

We’ll cover four scenarios, from a bullish continuation into January to a bearish reversal (similar to early 2022). Key factors include the “Magnificent Seven,” stock market breadth, and momentum.

Drawing from past patterns, especially post-election years, we’ll examine these scenarios. Scenario one suggests steady bullish momentum, while scenario four warns of a bearish breakdown below critical support.

Factors like rate cuts, inflation data, and sector shifts will guide these paths.
