QQQ: Approaching a critical levelIf QQQ fails to close and open above $495 on the weekly chart, my bold prediction is that we could see a decline to the first target price of $360 and potentially down to $320 by January 2026. However, if QQQ breaks above $495 and closes above it, we could see a rally to $563 or even $650.
QQQ
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 8-21 : Top Pattern Today.I expect the SPY to move into a moderate bullish price phase, attempting to peak somewhere below 561-563, then roll into a moderate downward price trend - possibly ending the day near 553-556.
Why do I expect the SPY to roll to the downside after peaking today? My SPY Cycle Pattern shows a TOP pattern today.
Top patterns usually start with a moderate uptrend, leading to a peak in price, followed by a moderately sustained pullback/downtrend.
The 553-556 level is the nearest moderate support level.
The 561-563 level is just above yesterday's high and well into the SPY upper GAP window, which will likely act as resistance.
Buckle up because we are moving into at least 2~3 days of trending sideways before transitioning back into the rally phase.
Gold may attempt to move above $2570 today.
Bitcoin needs to find support, otherwise a breakdown in price in likely over the next 3+ days.
It should be fun to see how things play out this week.
NVDA reclaimed the daily 50 SMA along with QQQ.NASDAQ:NVDA broke out of a wedge consolidation at $109 earlier this week and has closed above the daily 50 SMA, along with NASDAQ:QQQ and many other technology leaders. There has been a shift in market tone since the jobs report last Thursday, 8/8. Since then, all data points have been bought by the bulls, and QQQ reclaimed the daily 10 SMA, giving signs that the bull-thesis was valid. The longer QQQ and other major technology names build above the daily 50 SMA, the more likely they are to continue higher.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade 8-20 Update : No Bozu YetPrice needs to make a move if we are going to see a Bozu Trending bar today.
The levels I drew in the morning video were perfect (so far). We have seen the SPY do nothing most of the day and that means price is likely shifting away from trending - into Flagging.
My expectations are for price to attempt to setup a high/low range over the next 2~3 trading days, then move into a consolidated/sideways flagging formation.
This is a great time to prepare for the next big move (next week) and to try to plan your trades around this Flag/Base type of formation before the Vortex Rally sends the SPY higher.
This video covers SPY, Gold, BTCUSD.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 8-20 : BozuTrending Counter-TrendToday's Bozu Trending bar in counter-trend mode could be very exciting.
Bozu trending bars are typically relatively large and represent a strong price trend.
As we move closer to the upper GAP window, we may see the SPY rally through that window today—or we may see the SPY pull downward, away from that GAP, and attempt to retest support near 552.
Please watch today's video because the Counter-Trend mode of the Bozu pattern suggests we may see a downward price bar today.
I've highlighted two key price areas we need to watch regarding which direction the SPY will attempt to trend today. If we stay within those two price levels - price will stay muted today.
Otherwise, I expect the markets to BIAS to the upside but counter-trend to the downside.
It should be an interesting day for trading.
Gold is RIPPING and Bitcoin appears ready for a ripper rally.

Bulls Say "Can't Stop Won't Stop" - S&P 1% from All-Time HighsIt's as if the markets couldn't wait to open on Monday and continue what they've been doing for 9 of 11 trading days - push higher.
S&P +.96%
Nasdaq +1.31%
Dow +.58%
Russell 1.22%
For a Monday, it was a pretty directional day.
Wed-Fri is when the US news hits (FOMC Minutes, PMI, Jackson Hole, Powell Speech) so let's see if the party bus continues to rock until something forces a pause.
S&P is a mere 1% off of the all-time highs. All of these comebacks are mighty impressive considering it's the bears that usually accelerate the direction - these bulls are highly motivated.
QQQ Nasdaq 100 ETF PredictionIf you haven`t bought the last dip on QQQ:
Historically, the QQQ Nasdaq 100 ETF has demonstrated a consistent pattern where a Relative Strength Index (RSI) at or below 30 triggers buying activity.
This technical indicator, typically viewed as signaling an oversold condition, has reliably attracted investors looking to capitalize on perceived undervaluation.
As a result, these dips have been quickly bought up, suggesting a strong market tendency to rebound from such low RSI levels.
I expect the recovery to be V-shaped or W-shaped, ending the year higher.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 8-19 : Gap Potential (Consolidation)This short video shows you why I believe the US markets will move into a consolidation phase over the next 5-7 days. This phase will likely represent moderate volatility with a Bozu Trending bar on Tuesday (8-20).
That Bozu Trending bar may be very explosive in price range.
Sit back, wait for the lows to setup over the next 5+ days and position your trades for the bigger Vortex rally phase setting up in about 7+ days.
If my research is correct, by 8-26 or so, we should be moving back into the Vortex Rally phase again.
Gold, Bitcoin, Silver, SPY, QQQ and others will likely consolidate this week unless there is big news.

August 18th Weekly Watchlist LevelsI go over my weekly levels. Overall I think we have a lot of potential this week to keep moving up before elections. We also have a lot of possible gap fills on QQQ and SPY. Thanks for watching my videos and learning with me if you are new to watching my videos. I appreciate all of the love I got from my last video. Leave a comment with how long you have been trading for in the comments if you are new to my profile :) Lets make some good money this week everyone!!!

QQQ The Target Is UP! BUY!
My dear followers,
This is my opinion on the QQQ next move:
The asset is approaching an important pivot point 475.02
Bias - Bullish
Technical Indicators: Supper Trend generates a clear long signal while Pivot Point HL is currently determining the overall Bullish trend of the market.
Goal - 461.08
About Used Indicators:
For more efficient signals, super-trend is used in combination with other indicators like Pivot Points.
———————————
WISH YOU ALL LUCK
Markets Love the Bulls!!! Close to All-Time HighsS&P pulled back 78% of the fall
Nasdaq pulled back 61% of the fall
Dow pulled back 78% of the fall
IWM pulled back 50% of the fall
Impressive rips for 2 weeks of trading for the "buy the dip" community. This week's direction was steady in futures, and gaps higher in indexes from opening to closing bell. I'm keeping the charts as clean and simple as possible. September and October are rarely good months for the markets so perhaps all-time highs are a bit of a stretch, but we're much closer now than we were August 5th when everyone was freaking out.
Upcoming news for next week:
FOMC Minutes
US PMI
Jackson Hole (with Powell Speech)
My defensive plays are focused through August and September expirations, but I'll likely continue to add hedges if appropriate.
Have a great weekend and back at it next week!!!
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Update For 8-16 : Inside BreakawayThe move in the SPY today is very consistent with my Inside Breakaway SPY Cycle Pattern.
Additionally, the move in Gold is exactly what I predicted would happen over two weeks ago. A dual-leg rally up to $2550.
Now, we'll watch Gold rally above $2600 as this second leg appears to have considerable momentum.
As we close out the week, I do suspect the SPY will attempt to create a right-shoulder for an inverted Head-n-Shoulder pattern next week. So, be prepared for the SPY to possibly consolidate and move downward a bit before attempting another rally phase.
My SPY Cycle Patterns tend to agree with this changing cycle phase in the SPY - so there is some consistency related to a right-shoulder setup.
Overall, this has been a tremendous week for traders.
My research has continued to deliver great results for my followers and the big move in Gold has been incredible.
Next week, we'll do it again.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade 8-16 : Gold Rips - Stocks StallThis video highlights why I believe today's Inside Breakaway may come with some surprises.
As Gold rips higher (check out my recent Gold videos) and the SPY really broke higher yesterday with a huge upward GAP and rally, I believe the SPY will stall a bit today and attempt to move higher near the end of the trading day today.
I don't believe the markets go straight up or straight down.
This big Deep-V recovery has run into resistance and I believe an inverted Head-n-Shoulders is likely to setup.
You'll see what I'm talking about in today's video.
What this means for SPY traders is to stay cautious today. Short - Quick trades will be the key to success.
Don't get married to any bigger, longer-term swings in price today.
It is all about getting in and out quickly and efficiently.
Gold, on the other hand, could rally to $2620 or higher over the next 5+ trading days.
Watch the US Dollar and BTCUSD as the Hedge Trade appears to be very active right now.

2 Weeks of Recovery - But Seasonality Lurks in Sep/OctMonday - UP
Tuesday - UP
Wednesday - UP
Thursday - UP
SPY has put together 2 weeks with 20+ points from low to high eclipsing the averaging 14/15 point average true range for the week - it really is wild stuff!!!
I try to make some sense of everything today with an inverse cup & handle pattern on the SPY/SPX/ES levels. I dive into September/October seasonality and upcoming news for the US. PMI next week and Jackson Hole. More employment news and PCE before the month ends with NVDA earnings.
CME Fed Watch Tool showing a 76% probability the FED will cut 25 bps September 18 and we will still see more news on employment and inflation come in before the official FOMC meeting.
Actively trading, cautiously bullish, a bit surprised by how motivated this market is to recover. If there's any hesitation, it would make sense technically. I'm not interesting in calling tops/bottoms, I'm just interested in good levels to trade.
Thanks for watching!!!
QQQ BEARISH ALT I can say it still has Validity under EW Bearish alt wave structure in QQQ and SP 500 in the QQQ we are having issues into .618 and I can label it as ending a 5 waves up and it forms an ABC rally . . Mind you the Put/call gave a buy on a 20 day but now the 5 day is setup for a Sell . I am worried in what the mixed signals are presenting me with . So I will just maintain in Cash now not short or long outside of MSFT june calls and I will sell aug 430 calls again to pull in a premium . I will be clear in the structure the MATH is valid under both .
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade 8-15 : Where's The Counter-Trend MoveIn this video, I explain how news or data-driven events can substantially obscure the SPY Cycle Pattern price trends.
My SPY Cycle Patterns are predictions based on Fibonacci & Gann cycles. They attempt to predict typical market price characteristics and trends.
When some outside news, data, or other event hits that changes market dynamics enough to drive price in a stronger upward or downward trend, the SPY Cycle Patterns may invalidate or get skewed behind the momentum of the "event" trend.
With today's price bar, I believe the closing of the European markets (near Noon in NY) and the end of lunch in NY have a much better chance of seeing prices fall back into the counter-trend Carryover pattern I predicted for today.
That means, this afternoon, we may see price roll downward and attempt to move back towards support - just like I would typically expect to see with a counter-trend Carryover pattern.
Let's see what happens.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 8-15 : Huge Bullish Gap On DataPlease take a minute to watch this video and try to understand why this big bullish price gap is data-related.
Today, the data suggests Retail and Manufacturing are still clicking right along.
We are not seeing any big decline in the US economy, and that means the US Fed will not consider dropping rates as inflation levels seem to be elevated.
This is also part of why I believe the US economy will "decouple" from many global economies over the next 12 to 24+ months.
If you remember, I suggested a VORTEX RALLY would start near the end of July 2024.
Well, guess what is happening now?
The US markets are setting up a BASE for the Vortex Rally. We are not in lift-off mode yet. We still need to be cautious of any potential news event (political or otherwise) ahead of the US POTUS election.
Once we approach or pass the US 2024 election, I think we'll be able to be more aggressive about continuing the Vortex Rally phase.
FYI, I will be flipping to BULLISH tomorrow.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 8-15 : Counter-Trend CarryoverA Counter-Trend Carryover pattern is a "coasting" of price in an opposite trend direction.
So, for today, I expect the price to stay somewhat within yesterday's range while trending downward.
I don't expect yesterday's lows to be broken/breached - although it could happen.
I believe today will be more like a pause in price before attempting another move higher.
Today's pause may be very mellow in structure/size.
I believe the SPY/QQQ are biased to the upside, so I expect this price pause to stay above recent support levels.
Watch this video to see why I believe the recent upper range of the Gap will act as firm support for an upward price move into next week.
We have to wait for the markets to return to Trending mode.
60% of trading is WAITING for the opportune setups.

It's a Bull - It's a Bear - It's Time to Make Up Your Mind3 straight weeks of setting from mid-July crescendos with a crash August 2. But the "crash" was met with a vicious buying spree that now places the major index 50% of so from the large high to low swing. In this video, I breakdown the technicals and scenarios trying to make some sense of where we could be heading. We are mostly through Q2 earnings. PPI and CPI prints have been digested (market likes it mostly). We still have retail sales and unemployment claims this week and if the market reacts bearish, it's a pretty obvious sign the market is more concerned about a softer labor market and recession than it is inflation. If the markets reacts bullish and continues to grind higher, we may be looking at another incredible V bottom without the FED having to do anything - which would be a surprise :)
I'm cautiously bullish and believe the market will struggle to blow through all-time highs, but it's possible we still test and sniff them out, though unlikely it will be broad. More about big money moves are cutting positions in Mag 7 so a true broadening will be a nice change of pace instead of a highly concentrated Top 10 carrying the overall market.
Enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 8-14 : SPY 8 Day ForecastAt the request of one of my followers, he asked what to expect going forward into next week for his swing trading efforts.
That is one of the great things about my SPY Cycle Patterns - they can assist in "what may happen" if we consider them somewhat accurate and reflect future price bar characteristics.
So, to help him and others, I looked at the rest of this week and next week to highlight what I believe is the most logical outcome for the SPY for the next eight trading days.
I will warn you that my expectations may not efficiently represent price range (or price target objectives). I've learned that I may expect price to move to a level or area and watch it move well beyond my expected target levels.
So, be aware that price may rally or contract well beyond the levels I'm showing on this chart.
What should be somewhat accurate is the SPY Cycle Pattern prediction of how price will react each day.
I find these Cycle Patterns to be about 75-85% accurate as long as some outside news or crisis event drives prices in some panic trend.
That said, here is an outline of what I expect to see happen over the next 8+ days on the SPY.
I hope you enjoy it.
