58% — the median of 6 frontier models, resolving by 2027-03-16.

Answer

Gemini (Google): 74% — The Nasdaq undergoes an intra-year correction of 10% or more in roughly seven out of ten calendar years. Historically, the tech-heavy Nasdaq suffers a 10% drawdown from its annual peak in roughly 70% of years since 1971. With 3.5 months left in 2026, any major Q4 tech earnings miss or macroeconomic shock readily triggers a standard pullback. Sustained low volatility and an uninterrupted melt-up into year-end without a single 10% dip would be historically anomalous.

Answer

Claude (Anthropic): 58% — Hinges on whether AI-capex/valuation stress or a rate/growth shock triggers a correction sometime in 2026. Nasdaq has historically hit a 10% drawdown from its yearly high in roughly 55-65% of calendar years, given its volatility. Elevated AI-driven valuations and concentration risk in mega-cap tech raise odds of a sharp correction vs typical base rate. Would revise down if 2026 shows sustained low-volatility bull run with no major macro shocks or rate surprises by year-end.

Answer

GPT (OpenAI): 76% — A 10% Nasdaq drawdown is common over a multi-month horizon, especially after new highs in a concentrated tech index. The index has roughly 3.5 months left in 2026, enough time for an earnings, rates, or policy shock to trigger a correction. Nasdaq has historically experienced 10% peak-to-trough pullbacks in most calendar-year spans, making this a higher-than-even base-rate event. Sustained easing in inflation and Treasury yields alongside broad AI earnings upside would most reduce the chance of a qualifying drop.

Answer

Grok (xAI): 58% — Whether Nasdaq sees a 10% peak-to-trough from its 2026 high in the remaining 105 days. Nasdaq posts intra-year 10%+ drawdowns in roughly 7 of 10 years; 2026 so far has not been an exception-free melt-up. A new high after 17 Sep still leaves time for a typical Q4 pullback of that size. Only a low-vol year-end rally with no 10% dip from whatever peak is set would falsify it.

Answer

DeepSeek (DeepSeek): 22% — A 10% Nasdaq drawdown needs a catalyst to break a market that has spent 2026 grinding higher. Since 1990, the Nasdaq has seen a 10%+ intra-year drawdown in roughly 60% of years, but most of those started from January or February highs, not a September base. The Fed's remaining 2026 meetings (Oct 28, Dec 9) are the main scheduled catalysts; a hawkish surprise or AI-capex disappointment would be needed to force a 10% drop in… The index is up double digits YTD with earnings still growing, so the base rate for a fresh 10% correction this late in a strong year is closer to 15-25%, not the…

Answer

Qwen (Alibaba): 47% — A 10% drawdown from the 2026 high is common but not guaranteed; it hinges on whether a macro shock or valuation reset hits before year-end. Since 2000, the Nasdaq has experienced a ≥10% peak-to-trough drawdown within a calendar year in roughly 55-60% of years, making this slightly above a coin flip. With ~3.5 months left in 2026, the index needs a catalyst—Fed policy error, earnings miss cycle, or geopolitical shock—and the window is narrowing but not closed. If the 2026 high was set early in the year, the drawdown threshold is easier to hit; a late-year high makes it much harder, so the timing of the peak matters critically.
