$QQQ Institutional VPOC buy area while $TLT bonds selloff
$QQQ has found support at VPOC area where the indicator shows us heavy accumulation of buyers on the given range. Also note the trendline support it is respecting.
$TLT given the fears of inflation and the Federal Reserve hinting at raising rates, bonds continue to sell off in an environment that remains RISK ON. As Job numbers continue to grow in a strengthening economy, we want to look for slow growth in employment numbers in order to remain bullish on QQQ. A blowout in job numbers can seem bullish to the retail eye, but this is when the Federal Reserve will most likely raise rates and surprise the market. Would not be the first time the Fed surprises; back in 2011 the entire market was pricing in a taper but the Fed came out saying they will continue Quantitative Easing which sent shorts running to cover.
$TLT technicals point bearish with a breakdown from a rising wedge and a bearish MacD
The only Bullish scenario for TLT would be if Powell decides to bring rates into the negative which would send the financial sector into a free fall.
