Pgim Laddered Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 Etf ETF downgraded from Buy Candidate to Hold/Accumulate after Monday trading session
(Market data through Aug 10, 2026)
The Pgim Laddered Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 Etf ETF price fell by -0.0085% on the last day (Monday, 10th Aug 2026) from $31.70 to $31.70. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.379% from a day low at $31.65 to a day high of $31.77. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days and is up by 2.9% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day along with the ETF, which is actually a good sign as volume should follow the ETF. On the last day, the trading volume fell by -6 thousand shares and in total, 7 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $232.44 thousand.
The ETFis at the upper part of a narrow and horizontal trend and normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but a break-up through the top trend line at $31.70 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Pgim Laddered Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 Etf ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $30.38 and $31.69 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and ETFS seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. ETFS turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners. Do note, that if the ETF price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
PBQQ Signals & Forecast
The Pgim Laddered Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 Etf ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the ETF. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $31.50 and $31.23. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, August 07, 2026, and so far it has fallen -0.0085%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume fell along with the price during the last trading day, which is technical positive. One should, however, note that this ETF may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk. The ETF had a Golden Star Signal on Monday, April 06, 2026 in the long-term chart.
Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the ETF in question.

Trading Expectations (PBQQ) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 11th
For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 11th we expect Pgim Laddered Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 Etf to open at $31.71, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $31.57 and $31.83, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.265 (+/-0.84%) up or down from last closing price. If Pgim Laddered Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 Etf takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.84% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $31.70 (0.01%) than the support at $31.43 (0.84%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
Is Pgim Laddered Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 Etf ETF A Buy?
Pgim Laddered Nasdaq-100 Buffer 12 Etf holds several positive signals, but we still don't find these to be enough for a buy candidate.

Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this ETF since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Hold candidate.
