The Nasdaq 100 has extended its momentum to a historic 12 straight days of positive gains, a streak that has been achieved since the index was created in 1985. The record for the longest run of daily advances is within reach if the index continues to post gains.
On Thursday, the Nasdaq 100 reached 12 consecutive days of positive gains. According to Carson Group Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick, the index has previously traded higher for 12 or more days on eight occasions:
A positive gain on Friday would extend the current streak to 13 days, matching a milestone that has occurred only four other times.
Detrick’s data also links these 12-day win streaks to performance over the following year. The 12-month gains after prior Nasdaq 100 12-day win streaks were:
Overall, the Nasdaq 100 has averaged a 19.4% gain over the next 12 months after a 12-day win streak, with all instances producing positive returns.
Shorter-term results have been less consistent. The average one-month gain after the previous seven 12-day win streaks was 1.3%, with four periods ending higher and three ending lower.
Three months after a 12-day win streak, the Nasdaq 100 has averaged a loss of 1.8%, even though four of the seven instances still showed positive returns. Six-month results were similar, with an average gain of 1.6%.
The data indicates that each of these streaks saw the index higher four of the seven times across the one-month, three-month, and six-month windows. Large declines following the 1990 and 1992 streaks during the three- and six-month periods weighed on overall averages.
If history is a guide, the Nasdaq 100 may deliver strong one-year returns, though volatility and lower performance may be more likely in the period from now through six months or later.

Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
