Weaker technical forecast for TQQQ as ETF downgraded to Sell Candidate

The TQQQ ETF price fell by -3.51% on the last day (Thursday, 26th Feb 2026) from $51.87 to $50.05. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 6.02% from a day low at $48.71 to a day high of $51.64. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -2.63% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 53 million shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 104 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $5.21 billion.

The ETF lies in the middle of a wide and falling trend in the short term and further fall within the trend is signaled.Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to fall -8.86% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $42.28 and $50.37 at the end of this 3-month period.

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, February 05, 2026, and so far it has risen 5.06%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The TQQQ ETF holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the ETF giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. On further gains, the ETF will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $52.36. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $49.75. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the ETF should be followed more closely.

TQQQ finds support from accumulated volume at $49.76 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

This ETF has average movements during the day and with good trading volume, the risk is considered to be medium. During the last day, the ETF moved $2.93 between high and low, or 6.02%. For the last week, the ETF has had daily average volatility of 4.75%.

TQQQ holds several negative signals and we believe that it will still perform weakly in the next couple of days or weeks. We, therefore, hold a negative evaluation of this ETF.Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this ETF since the last evaluation from a Hold to a Sell candidate.
