The shaded band shows the range of outcomes the model calculates, not a single prediction. Each labeled
line is a percentile of that distribution.
The median (P50) is the calculated middle path: half of modeled outcomes fall above it, half below. The
inner band, between P25 and P75, holds half of all calculated outcomes. The outer limits, P5 and P95,
bound the 90% probability density layer, leaving 5% of modeled outcomes beyond each edge.
A wider band further out reflects greater uncertainty over longer horizons. These are modeled
probabilities, not guarantees. Past performance doesn't guarantee accuracy.

Nasdaq 100 braces for tech volatility amid AI earnings season & Analysis underpinning the 10-Year HMX 1.75 Probabilistic Forecast
The Nasdaq 100 enters the next two months with a clear dichotomy: soaring earnings expectations for tech stocks, particularly AI-driven names, against a backdrop of heightened volatility and macro uncertainty. Analysts project a 40% earnings-per-share gain for the index, but high valuations increase the risk of repricing if AI optimism cools. The recent inclusion of SpaceX triggers an estimated $4.3 billion in passive inflows, yet historical precedents like Palantir warn of 'sell-the-news' corrections. Geopolitical tensions and oil prices add friction, while the Fed's new chair Kevin Warsh introduces hawkish uncertainty. What makes this medium-term window distinct is the collision of a mega-IPO era with an earnings season that will test whether AI capital expenditures are translating into profits.
The VXN-VIX gap at a 23-year high
Tech stock volatility isn't just elevated; it's diverging sharply from the S&P 500. The ratio of the Nasdaq's volatility index to the S&P 500's has reached a level not seen in over two decades. Options positioning shows traders are long vol in Nasdaq names, exacerbated by concentration and new high-volatility additions like SpaceX. This isn't noise. It's a signal that the market sees unique risks in tech that aren't present in the broader market.
SpaceX's fast-track into the index
SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 just weeks after its IPO, one of the fastest inclusions ever. Passive funds tracking the index are mandated to buy around $4.3 billion worth of shares, creating a mechanical inflow. But with a public float of only about 5%, the stock's volatility could bleed into the index. History suggests these inclusion bounces are often short-lived, as seen with Palantir, but the sheer scale of this one makes it a force to watch.
Earnings season with AI on trial
The Q2 earnings season starting mid-July is where AI expectations meet reality. Nasdaq 100 companies are expected to show a 40% EPS gain, largely driven by tech. However, there's a rotation underway out of the 'Magnificent Seven' and into semiconductors and value sectors, as questions mount over the ROI on AI infrastructure spend. If hyperscalers fail to beat optimistic growth estimates, the index faces a correction. This earnings season isn't just about numbers; it's a verdict on whether AI hype is justified.
Short interest and the hedge buildup
Short interest across Nasdaq securities rose to 22.68 billion shares, representing 1.64 days of average daily volume. At the same time, derivative positioning shows a shift from call volume to heavy put protection ahead of earnings. This isn't rampant bearishness, but it's a clear sign that institutions are buying downside insurance. The market isn't panicking, but it's preparing for a possible stumble.
HMX 1.75 Probabilistic forecast chart for Nasdaq 100, plotting roughly 4 years of price history against a 2 years forward projection. Through the 4 years window the series gained 149% (start ~$12000, window high ~$30400) and was volatile, with a maximum drawdown near 21%. Today the price is approximately $29800 (about 2% at the window high); on the forecast it sits below the 1 year P25, which the model reads as potential undervaluation. Over the coming 2 years the central (median) estimate projects a rise of ~16%, landing near $34600. The P5 to P95 range is roughly 57% of the median with the band widening over the horizon. At the horizon the downside (P5) sits near $25700, about 14% below the current price, and the upside (P95) near $45400, about 52% above it. Overall the spread is roughly symmetric. Produced by HMX 1.75, a raw aggregation model that combines independent predictions into a single probabilistic forecast; agreement among inputs is not consensus, and there is no guarantee of results.

Model Description
HMX 1.75 is the current production release of the Heatmup forecasting engine. It operates as an equally weighted baseline: every model in the ensemble pool contributes equally to the final distribution, regardless of individual track record. The output is a probability distribution over future price and time for each covered asset, rendered as a heatmap. Percentile bands (P5 to P95) capture 90% of modeled outcomes. Every generated distribution is archived with an immutable ID and public timestamp and resolved later against the realized market price. HMX 1.75 is not an AI system under the EU AI Act; it is a deterministic quantitative aggregation engine.

Methodology
HMX aggregates outputs from a proprietary pool of independent quantitative models operating in strict isolation. Each model produces discrete predictions (date, target price, probability) without visibility into the others. The HMX engine combines these inputs using time-decay weighting, which prioritizes recent data, into a single probability distribution per asset. The process is deterministic: identical inputs produce identical outputs. No machine learning is applied at inference. HMX 1.75 uses equal weighting, meaning every model in the pool contributes equally regardless of historical track record. Accuracy-weighted calibration, where model influence is proportional to resolved performance, is scheduled for HMX 2.0 in September 2026.

('Calibration of HMX 1.75 is measured by assigning each resolved forecast to the percentile band containing its realized price, defined as the OHLC4 midpoint of the resolving bar, and aggregating these assignments across all covered assets and dates into a probability integral transform (PIT) histogram. All published metrics derive from this histogram and the computation is deterministic. Reported metrics are the calibration slope and intercept, Expected and Maximum Calibration Error (the latter equal to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov distance on the PIT under this binning), prediction interval coverage for the central fifty and ninety percent intervals, reduced chi-square PIT uniformity, and interval sharpness. These are summarized in the Market Intelligence Score, a proprietary Heatmup composite on a zero to one hundred scale that weights calibration error, tail behaviour, calibration slope, distributional uniformity, and sharpness; it is not an industry standard, and its normalization functions are published with the scoring code so the composite is auditable. The current figures describe the equally weighted baseline over the live resolved-forecast window to date and are computed by Heatmup Oy. The underlying resolved-forecast data and scoring code are published so the metrics can be independently reproduced and verified. Measurement of calibration is distinct from a representation that the output is calibrated or guaranteed; the score is a diagnostic.
