Nasdaq Posts Longest Win Streak Since 1992. It's Also Up 100% in Three Years.

April 18, 2026·3 min read·ChartOdds

Thirteen Days Straight

The Nasdaq Composite closed up 1.5% on Friday. That capped 13 consecutive days of gains. According to Dow Jones Market Data, that hasn't happened since 1992.

This is not a normal winning streak.

The Full Picture

Zoom out. Since May 1, 2023, the Nasdaq has gained 100%. Under three years. The Liberation Day selloff happened in that window. Didn't erase it. The index absorbed the drop and kept going.

From the Liberation Day trough alone, the Nasdaq is up roughly 60%. That's how sharp the recovery was.

What's Driving It

This isn't one sector. The move is broad. Tech led, but the breadth held up. When breadth holds, rallies tend to last longer than the skeptics expect.

Thirteen days is statistically rare. It signals buying pressure that isn't letting up. Whether that's institutions repositioning, retail participation, or both doesn't change the chart. The trend is intact.

What the Streak Means Historically

The 1992 comparison matters. That wasn't a low-volatility, drift-higher market. Streaks like this tend to follow periods of fear. Fear clears out sellers. Then buyers take over with very little resistance.

That's the setup that produces 13-day runs.

What This Means for Traders

  • Thirteen consecutive up days is a signal, not a ceiling. Historically, momentum this strong doesn't just stop cold.
  • The 100% gain since May 2023 tells you the macro trend is intact. Every pullback in that window got bought. That pattern matters.
  • ChartOdds tracks earnings performance across Nasdaq components. The index doubled. The names that drove it did more. That's where the data points you next.
