QQQ Generals (AAPL, MSFT & NVDA)

Each stock is in a primary uptrend, but with slightly different phases of momentum - you’re seeing a bit of divergence among the “QQQ generals,' which is important
AAPL

• Grinding higher, above 50d MA & within upper Bollinger band
  
• Still trending, but upper wicks = supply around $275-$277; likely digestion area
  

MSFT

• Pullback from $555 to ~$520 after new highs
  
• Healthy retrace toward 50d MA so watch for higher low near $510-$515
  

NVDA

• Leading - broke out above prior $195 resistance, holding gains
  
• Most bullish of the 3; small-bodied candle near top = consolidation before next leg
  
• All 3 show small bodies with upper wicks, meaning buyers pushed early, but met resistance - a pause, not yet reversal
  
• No major bearish engulfing or heavy volume sell candle which suggests profit-taking, not panic
  

RSI

• AAPL ~62 - mid-uptrend, not overbought
  
• MSFT ~56 - cooling, but healthy
  
• NVDA ~56 - steady strength
  
• RSI readings between 55-65 indicate trend continuation (no exhaustion yet)
  

Stochastic

• AAPL/NVDA are curling up - supports continuation
  
• MSFT dipped, possibly a near-term bottom forming
  
• Watch for cross-ups below 20 for next entry cues
  

MACD

• AAPL is still positive, slight flattening = momentum pause
  
• MSFT is bearish crossover forming (watch histogram near zero)
  
• NVDA is bullish crossover confirmed - strongest setup technically
  

Volume Profile

• AAPL is slight uptick but not blow-off
  
• MSFT volume surge on red candle - likely earnings reaction fading
  
• NVDA high participation, but stable = institutions still active
  

AAPL

• Above $270 = breakout continuation
  
• Bullish consolidation
  
• Watch for breakout >$277 or retest
  
• ~$258 support
  

MSFT

• Needs hold >$515 to avoid deeper pullback
  
• Neutral–Bullish (short-term digestion)
  
• Accumulate on $510 retest if RSI holds >45
  

NVDA

• Above $200 breakout zone; $212 = extension target
  
• Bullish
  
• Buy-the-dip setup above $188-$190 (AVWAP support)
  

Consolidation phase likely early next week, with NVDA likely to resume leading QQQ higher if $200-$202 holds

• QQQ remains in a strong uptrend, trading above the 50d MA & well above the 200d MA
  
• After an earnings rally (AAPL, AMZN, META) it pulled back slightly, but hasn’t broken support - meaning the trend is intact, but stretched
  
• The chart resembles a bullish pennant/flag forming just below the prior high (~$637-$640)
  
• Tight consolidation after a vertical rally = continuation potential
  

Friday's small real body, upper wick - suggests sellers faded late-day strength, but not heavy distribution

• Strong breakout candles with solid volume confirm institutional accumulation
  
• So far, more of a rest bar than reversal bar
  
• Healthy momentum - RSI could cool near 60 without breaking trend
  
• MACD shows momentum slowing, not reversing
  
• Watch for histogram tick-up after 2-3 quiet days (potential signal for next leg higher)
  
• Stochastic curling down from overbought (80-90)
  
• Short-term pause likely, but still bullish mid-term unless it dips below 40
  
• Volume was high during breakout (post-earnings), but tapered during the pullback - classic bullish pattern
  
• No sign of distribution selling yet
  

Holding above $620 keeps the bull case fully intact & a breakout above $640 opens potential for $655-$665 targets (measured move from flag)

• AAPL neutral-bullish = confirming broad tech strength
  
• NVDA leading = risk-on sentiment still strong
  
• MSFT softening = brief digestion phase; not yet dragging the index
  
• VIX near cycle lows, TNX (yields) easing - macro tailwinds for growth stocks
  

AAPL, AMZN, META, MSFT & TSLA have already reported strong earnings, so now semiconductors & AI names like AMD & PLTR become the next catalysts

• With NVDA earnings not until 19 November, AMD’s report Monday night effectively becomes a read-through for the AI/semiconductor complex, which heavily affects QQQ
  
• Best-case for bulls is a strong AMD report = renewed AI momentum - QQQ clears $640 resistance
