QQQ stays choppy
Updated
Since its recent peak on 15th November 2022, the price of QQQ drifted lower by about 4%. Currently, it trades for around 282$. We continue to be bearish on the Nasdaq 100 index and pay close attention to market developments. To support our bearish thesis, we would like to see QQQ continue to hold below the immediate support/resistance. Additionally, we would like to see a pick-up in volume accompanying a price decline. Contrarily, if QQQ breaks above the immediate support/resistance, it will be bullish.
As far as fundamental factors go, these support our bearish thesis on the macroeconomic level. The FED and other central banks are pursuing tighter economic conditions to beat high inflation, which will inadvertently slow down the economy even more. With that in mind, we dismiss that the primary downtrend has hit bottom. Accordingly, our price targets for QQQ stay at 280$ and 270$ (10 000$ for NQ1!).
