$QQQ Analysis, Key Levels & Targets for Today & Tomorrow We got smacked here by the top of the channel.
I will dive much more deeply into these levels on tonight's video, but for now we at least have them for the day.
Things to Watch this Week:
Earnings Reports: Major companies like Netflix (NFLX), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Procter & Gamble (PG), United Airlines (UAL), General Electric (GE), Alaska Air (ALK), American Airlines (AAL), CSX Corporation (CSX), Verizon (VZ), HCA Healthcare (HCA), and American Express (AXP) are set to release their earnings. These reports can significantly influence market sentiment and stock prices.
Manufacturing PMI: The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for manufacturing will provide insight into the health of the manufacturing sector. A reading above 50 indicates expansion, while below 50 suggests contraction. This data can influence expectations about economic growth and interest rates.
Services PMI: Similarly, the Services PMI will give an overview of the service sector's performance. Given the service sector's substantial contribution to the economy, this data is critical for understanding overall economic trends.
Home Sales: Data on existing home sales can shed light on consumer confidence and spending in the housing market, which is a major component of economic activity. Changes in home sales can signal shifts in economic health.
Jobless Claims: Weekly initial jobless claims numbers are a pulse check on the labor market. Rising claims might indicate economic slowdown, while falling claims suggest job growth and economic strength.
Market Volatility: The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) has been noted to be fluctuating, which might continue this week. Monitoring the VIX can help assess market fear or complacency.
Interest Rate Sensitivity: With the Federal Reserve’s actions on interest rates being a focal point, any indication of future policy direction from Fed officials' speeches or economic data releases could sway markets. Look for comments from Fed members or economic reports that might hint at rate adjustments.
Sector Performance: Particularly, keep an eye on sectors like Technology (with companies like Nvidia potentially leading AI trends), Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary, which have shown movements or are expected to with upcoming earnings.
Global Economic Indicators: International developments, especially from major economies like China or the Eurozone, can impact U.S. markets due to globalization. Look for news on global manufacturing, services, or policy changes that could affect investor sentiment.
Geopolitical Events: Although not directly mentioned in recent market summaries, geopolitical tensions or developments, like trade negotiations or conflicts, can influence markets. Keep an ear out for any significant international news that might ripple through financial markets.

QQQ still in rangeQQQ continues to move in a range since the December high 2024.
In my opinion, today's sell-off is also no cause for concern.
Only in the event of a downward breakout can things become critical for individual stocks.
I continue to keep an eye out for strong individual stocks that show relative strength in order to recognize potential breakouts at an early stage. NASDAQ:QQQ

Inverse W Pattern on $QQQ: Potential Short Week?I’m keeping an eye on potential shorts as we head into the new trading week. A double top (inverse W) pattern seems to be forming here, but I’m waiting for confirmation. Specifically, I want to see a strong push below the red liquidity zone and some consolidation along the negative trendline before entering any short positions.
On the flip side, if we see a confident rejection off the liquidity zone and price starts climbing toward the 534 level (white zone) , I’ll shift my focus to potential longs.
Patience is key here—waiting for the market to show its hand before making any moves. Let me know your thoughts or if you’re spotting anything else in the charts!
Qqq🤨. Retest and rejected trendline last Wed and Friday As you can see.
Remember Decembers monthly Candle? It sets the stage for a Bearish reversal but price would need to close below 510 for the month of January to confirm it!..
I think it's a very high chance 524 gap close comes.
So much to go over
I'll update more and even entertain upside scenarios 😂
Lots to dive into on this post..
Tomorrow I will cover the Sectors

It is also paired with the down gap from resistance on Friday, December 27, so we do have a small island gap down at the bottom of the trading range to fill that may not feel today but it will soon Above us at the very top of the training range the red dash line is previous all-time high at 5:39.15. We do have a Read signal line here still but we are trading strongly above the 35 EMA so lean into that for support near 529
