QQQ Breakout vs BreakdownQQQ is flashing both a potential double top & a rising wedge, which are closely related bearish setups
1. Double Top (Top 1 & Top 2 around $583)
Price hits the same high twice, fails to break through, then rolls over
Not confirmed until QQQ closes below the “neckline” ($574–$575)
If confirmed, projected drop is the height of the pattern (~24 pts) for a target of $560
2. Rising Wedge
Higher highs + higher lows, but slope is narrowing
QQQ’s recent grind into $583 fits this pattern since momentum is slowing as buyers lose control
Rising wedges tend to break down ~70% of the time, especially near major resistance
Break below the wedge lower bound ($574–$575) would align with the double top neckline break
Bull vs Bear Scenarios
If QQQ breaks above $586–$587 with volume, it invalidates both bearish patterns
That would trigger continuation to $600
Close below $574–$575 neckline confirms the double top & wedge breakdown
Right now QQQ is “coiled” in a rising wedge into resistance with a double top risk
Bulls must clear $586+ to avoid the trap
Bears gain control if $574 fails, unlocking gap-fill downside
QQQ trade ideas
QQQ Today’s Rally ≠ Bullish BreakoutToday’s rally into resistance doesn’t cancel the bearish structure - it just tested the ceiling again, like the ball bouncing off the ceiling one more time
Price bounced, yes, but it stopped right at the descending trendline and supply zone
Until QQQ clears $577–$580 on volume, this is just another lower high
RSI still under 60 on the daily
MACD still bearish crossover
Bearish setups need bounces since sellers actually want rallies into supply
Today’s move just brought price back to the spot where bears previously took control
The deciding factor is whether tomorrow’s NFP release causes a breakout above $580 (bullish) or a breakdown below $562 (bearish)
Descending triangles usually resolve downward (break of the flat base)
A clean daily close <$562 would trigger measured move targets
Until $562 breaks on volume, it’s still just compression
Sometimes triangles fake down, trap shorts & rip higher (especially with macro catalysts like NFP)
If $576 rejects, short to $562–$558
If $577–$580 breaks (bulls win), step aside or flip long toward $583+
The Fib retracements line up neatly,
50% = $571.39
61.8% = $568.59 (sits right inside that shaded demand area)
78.6% = $564.61 & 82.6% = $563.67 (exactly where buyers defended)
100% = $559.54
This layering creates a ladder of potential supports, but also a measured path for shorts
The 1, 2 & 3 path into $559–$560 matches the 100% extension of the prior move
This is where measured move & Fibonacci confluence meet
Bears could take profit on the way down at $568.5 to $564.5 & $560
If $559 breaks with volume, extension opens toward $547 (200d SMA) which would be the larger “unwinding” target
Invalidation is simple, if daily close >$577–$580 trendline
While in-play, each Fib level gives you a chance to trail stops down
Trendline + Supply Zone + Symmetry + Fibonacci = high-probability short setup
Price = supply zone/descending trendline
RSI = overbought on the 15m & below the midline slope & capped under 60 on the daily
That’s a sign of weak momentum - each bounce fizzles out earlier
The RSI trendline itself is descending, which mirrors price
MACD = potentially topping on the 15m & still bearish crossover on the daily with it's histogram contracting slightly, so momentum is still in bear mode, with only a weak attempt at recovery
Momentum: RSI + MACD both confirm sellers are in control of the bigger picture
If NFP or another catalyst sends QQQ through $577–$580, watch for RSI breaking above 60 (momentum shift) & MACD histogram flipping positive with a bullish cross
That would negate the bearish triangle & turn this into a breakout squeeze toward $583+
QQQ Grind-Up, Not Power-UpA gap occurs when the price opens significantly higher or lower than the prior close, leaving an empty space on the chart
1. Common Gap
Small, often within a range
Usually filled quickly (price comes back to close the gap)
2. Breakaway Gap
Happens at the start of a new trend (up or down)
Price usually does not fill quickly because it’s breaking out of a consolidation zone
3. Runaway / Continuation Gap
Occurs in the middle of a strong trend
Reinforces momentum, shows buyers/sellers rushing in
4. Exhaustion Gap
Appears near the end of a move
Often followed by reversal once the last buyers/sellers have entered
Many gaps get “filled” (price trades back through the open-close range)
Notice the jump candles where price leaps higher without overlapping prior highs
Those are mini-breakaway gaps on smaller timeframes
Larger daily gaps (from overnight futures) show up around major inflection points (~$540 or ~$500 in past months) often get retested
Gap up into resistance - fade (short-term sell bias)
Gap up out of consolidation - trend continuation
Gap down into support - bounce potential
Gap down breaking major support - momentum short
A big distance between prior close and next open (think 2%+ in QQQ, which is large for an index ETF) suggests a strong imbalance between buyers/sellers (news, macro shock, earnings, Fed, etc) & are often trend-driving (market re-prices & continues in that direction - breakaway or exhaustion)
Traders treat wide gaps as structural levels (price can revisit them weeks/months later)
The big shaded area in April/May around $450–$500 are wide gaps that anchor market structure
Small difference between close & next open (<1% in QQQ) are common gaps that occur more often & tend to get filled quickly (1–5 sessions)
Momentum traders don’t put much weight on them since they’re more noise than regime change
The small shaded areas around $560–$565 are narrow gaps which often act like magnets for price (easy “gap-fill” trades)
1. Wide Gaps are macro anchor levels
They define “areas of importance” where institutions re-priced risk
If price revisits then expect strong reaction (support or resistance)
The wider gaps ($540s, $500s) are less likely to fill immediately, but if momentum cracks, they’re where the market would re-price
2. Narrow Gaps are short-term magnets
They get filled often and quickly.
More useful for tactical swing or intraday trading
The narrow gap at $560–$565 suggests that if bulls fail at $580, this is the first “magnet” downside target
QQQ grinding against ATHs while narrow gaps remain unfilled shows momentum strength
Market is ignoring short-term inefficiencies because buyers are in control
If $580–$581 rejection holds, sellers will target the nearest narrow gaps first ($560–$565)
Only if weakness compounds do we start eyeing the wider gaps lower ($540s to the $500s)
The curved trend line is the line in the sand
Above = momentum grind
Below = unwind toward gap fills
This symmetry is powerful since markets often move in measured waves
If history repeats, the next breakout could target another +35 pts from the last base ($560–$565)
That projects into $595–$600, aligning with psychological round-number resistance
Equal legs can also signal a completed measured move
If momentum fails at $580–$581, this may be a double top, meaning trend is stretched
In that case, downside would first target gap at $560–$565 & possibly the $532 wide gap if the trend breaks
QQQ has rallied in 2 near-perfect measured moves of ~35 pts
A third move could carry it to $595–$600, but failing here suggests exhaustion
The trend + gaps below tell us exactly where risk opens if $580 rejection plays out
1. March–May (early rally leg)
Strong expansion in volume on the breakout from the base
Classic sign of institutional accumulation
2. June–July (second impulse leg)
Price kept making higher highs, but volume gradually tapered off
That’s a hallmark of momentum continuation without fresh conviction
It doesn’t kill the trend, but it does mean rallies are carried more by buyers stepping in on dips; rather than, aggressive new buying
3. August–September (near ATHs)
Volume remains muted during the grind into $580–$581 resistance
Price has lifted, but not on strong participation
Suggests buyers are cautious & sellers haven’t pressed yet either ( a “low energy” standoff )
R ising price + rising volume = strong trend
Rising price + falling volume = weak trend (risk of stall)
Falling price + rising volume = strong distribution
Falling price + falling volume = normal pullback (trend intact)
The grind into $580 looks more like rising price + flat/weak volume
That tilts toward caution - bulls need a volume expansion to confirm breakout; otherwise, the market risks a “measured move exhaustion” & reverts to filling nearby gaps
The first leg (April–May) with big green volume spikes shows strong conviction, but the second leg (June–July) shows price rose on lighter, declining volume, continuation, but less conviction, while the current leg (August–September) shows muted volume while pressing ATHs
This is rising price + flat/weak volume, a classic “grind-up” pattern
It works until it doesn’t - meaning breakouts need fresh volume expansion to hold
QQQ’s last two impulse legs were ~35 pts - the current one is tracing the same path
Volume, however, is lighter than on the first rally (momentum continuation, but less conviction)
Breakout needs volume confirmation; otherwise, expect symmetry to mark exhaustion & pullback toward gaps
RSI pushed into overbought (70+) multiple times
RSI is trending upward again, but still below prior peaks (~65 vs 70+)
Shows positive momentum, but not full-strength
RSI holding above 50 is bullish, but failure to reach overbought on a breakout attempt would be a warning of exhaustion
Volume is muted & RSI is rising, but not overbought yet
It means the breakout is vulnerable without a volume surge & RSI follow-through
RSI confirms buyers are pushing, but momentum is weaker than in the first impulse
Breakout with RSI >70 is fuel to $595–$600; breakout with RSI divergence is likely a bull trap

QQQ Nearing wave (3) Termination at 589The short-term Elliott Wave analysis for the Nasdaq 100 Index ETF (QQQ) indicates it is approaching the completion of wave (3) from its April 2025 low. This wave (3) unfolds as a five-wave impulse structure. Wave 1 concluded at 467.83, followed by a wave 2 pullback to 427.93. Subsequently, wave 3 surged to 583.32, and wave 4 retraced to 558.84, as illustrated in the 45-minute chart.
Currently, wave 5 is developing as a diagonal pattern. From the wave 4 low, wave ((i)) peaked at 578, with wave ((ii)) dipping to 559.53. Wave ((iii)) then climbed to 581.12, followed by a wave ((iv)) pullback to 571.53. As long as the ETF remains above 559.53, it is poised to extend higher in wave ((v)) of 5, which should also finalize wave (3) on a higher degree. The potential target for wave 5 lies between 589 and 598, calculated using the 123.6% to 161.8% inverse Fibonacci retracement of wave 4.
This analysis suggests a bullish near-term outlook for QQQ, with the ETF likely to reach the projected range before completing wave (3). Traders should monitor the 559.53 support level to confirm the continuation of this upward move. The structure remains intact, supporting further gains in the short term.
QQQ Levels in PlayQQQ is coiling between $577–$583
$583.2 (Top 1/Fib 0%) is major resistance
$581 (Top 1/recent high) is lower high rejection
$578–$579 (current) sits just above Fib 23.6% (~$577)
~$571 (Fib 50%) is mid-support
~$568 (Fib 61.8%) is a critical downside pivot
$564–$563 (Fib 78.6%–82.6%) is a possible deep retrace
In short,
Above $583 = breakout
Below $572 = breakdown
Between = chop trap
QQQ Market Preview for Monday, September 8Price Action & Market Structure
* QQQ is trading around 577.7, stabilizing after a sharp morning dip toward 569.0 and a bounce back.
* Price is now consolidating between 576–578, showing indecision after recovering.
* Structure remains bullish above 576 HVL support, but bears will try to push it back toward 572–569 if that zone breaks.
Key Levels
* Resistance (Upside Caps):
* 578–580 → Immediate resistance / Gamma Wall.
* 582–583 → Next resistance cluster.
* Support (Downside Floors):
* 576 HVL → Key pivot support.
* 575–572 → Minor Put support zone.
* 569.0 → Strong support (recent low).
* 567 → Deeper Put Wall support.
Options Sentiment (GEX & IV)
* GEX: Bearishly skewed with Puts at 86.6%, suggesting hedging flows lean downside.
* IVR: 14.3, moderate but not extreme, showing some expected volatility.
* Gamma Walls:
* 580 = Major Call Resistance.

* 572 / 569 = Put-heavy support.
Indicators
* MACD (15m): Rolling over after bounce, showing fading short-term momentum.
* Stoch RSI: Near oversold after pullback → could allow another push higher if 576 holds.
Scenarios for Today
Bullish Case (if 576 holds):
* Hold above 576 HVL, reclaim 578–580.
* Targets: 582–583 Gamma Wall zone.
Bearish Case (if 576 breaks):
* Drop back to 575–572 zone.

Summary
QQQ sits at a key balance zone (576 HVL). If support holds, bulls can push back to 580–582, but heavy Put exposure plus resistance at 580 may cap upside. A break below 576 flips bias bearish, targeting 572–569. Options sentiment is defensive, suggesting upside will be a grind unless bulls take control early.

QQQ Bearish Reversal vs Bullish ContinuationQQQ broke out of a huge consolidation box (2024 into early 2025)
That breakout projected a measured move of ~144 points (26%–36%), targeting $600–$630
Price indeed advanced strongly toward that zone before stalling
1. Bearish Case (head & shoulders or double top plays out)
Breakdown below $568 with a target of $550, then maybe ~$537 (S2 pivot) if selling accelerates
That’s about a 4%–5% correction, which is normal within an uptrend
Double top is the cleaner, simpler read on this chart
Head & shoulders is more complex and requires symmetry, which isn’t perfect here
Both patterns target almost the same zone (~$550–$553), but the double top is easier to defend technically
2. Bullish Case (breakout resumes)
Hold $568, reclaim $583–$585 & push into $600 (R2)
Full measured move already points to $616–$633 longer term (R3–R4)
Probabilities (with macro context)
Continuation (push to $600–$616) @ 50%
Correction ($568 break to $550–$537) @ 40%
Extended chop ($568–$583 range) @ 10%
The breakout from that massive 2024–2025 range still dominates the chart & trend is up until $568 fails
The local Head & shoulders/double top is a warning sign, but not a confirmed reversal yet
The market is essentially asking, do we consolidate near highs before another leg up, or do we shake out to $550 first?
9/4/25 - $qqq - How i'm positioned ep 39/4/25 :: VROCKSTAR :: NASDAQ:QQQ
How i'm positioned ep 3
- it's hard not to notice the q's and the spy's are about 50 bps away from a gap fill
- while i'm a strong believer in the efficient market hypothesis (lol - i'm kidding), with googl's timely headline driving risk higher, today's whatever bid getting bid and "rate cuts" as a known known driving "narrative" bid... it all just feels so roll-over-y
- lulu tn just basically confirms... besides having ms sweeney providing green dillys across basement dwelling "portfolios"... the consumer is, has been, and will be cooked like a road kill goose... and rate cuts won't help
- even my NYSE:ONON feels like something i need to manage more lightly.
- it. is. just. hard. to. own. anything.
so i just took down risk a lot.
i'm about 30% cash. tempted to get to 35 or 40%
- still packing a solid 55% obtc, but well hedged w/ ibit puts (as i've described)
- onon leaps at 5% at 3-1 (but honestly it's probably too big)
- smlr to play the mstr headline, but it's honestly just an obtc/ mnav arb exercise w/ shorter term triggers and allows me to keep risk on exposure to btc while managing cash
- nxt still a staple, but it's only 5% of the portfolio at 2-1 leverage (so 10% gross). feels like the only one i have confidence in, but it's performed lol. *don't cut winners, V*
so i draw out some tea leaves green lines not as a prediction but as a thesis for what i think could be a path given liquidity constraints and how rate cuts won't immediately help this.
the memes are bearish divergence all over. correlation 1. these things v likely to trigger leverage liquidations all over on the way down. i think funds might be (and should be) willing to short these too which could amplify the tape.
this all just feels like we're in a seasonal wtf is going on.
hard to own anything, even btc unhedged.
20% ytd and always above 0% still feels "good" but has been too much lift and the juice for the squeeze is like hitting a hawt gurl pilates after hour passion project establishment in LA... $20 bucks for the instagram photo. too many ppl posting PnL gainz is exhausting and a sign.
all i'm saying is... make sure you know what you own. you are taking note of all the strangeness around. acknowledge liquidity conditions are not loose and rate cuts won't immediately help (rates are high! people are cooked! we need rates to BURN to really boost liquidity).
finally. remember - bankers like to pay themselves one more time into YE. don't become their exit liquidity here and also their source of assets toward the dippity do dah.
hand sitting feels smart.

QQQ Potential Bearish ResolutionOn the larger timeframe, the overall structure is a bear flag off the bigger down-move, much better than the earlier wedge attempt
If QQQ were forming a wedge, price would be swinging wider with higher highs & lower lows, like a volatility burst after sideways action
This leans bearish (because of the descending highs & flat-ish support), but the final signal will be whichever side breaks with volume
The consolidation isn’t bullish (yet) because it’s drifting against the prior impulse down
It's a bull flag nested inside a bigger bear flag
It's a setup that needs confirmation, so bullish in theory, but the market still has to “vote” with price + volume
If you view the current consolidation as a bull flag, you’re keying off the last impulse up ($559-$572)
If you view it as a bear flag, you’re keying off the last dominant leg down ($583-$559)
That last green bar is encouraging for bulls, but overall the consolidation volume looks like it’s contracting (fits both a flag & a bear retrace)
The decisive clue will be whether volume expands on the breakout/breakdown
Puts
Watch for rejection at $571 with fading volume
Calls
Watch for strong volume push above $572, targeting ~$578
1. Volume
Buyers came in strong on the last green bar, but for a sustained push through $571, should see rising buy volume
2. Structure
If price fails at $571 & volume fades, it could roll over to test $565-$560
If buyers push cleanly above $572 with conviction, then the upper gap $574–$578 comes into play as the next target
If sellers defend $571 again, odds favor a breakdown toward $560
If volume surges & $571 breaks, bulls have a clean magnet up to $578–$582
$QQQ Trading Range for 9.2.25
Ok, so we are heading into tomorrow after the three day weekend a little bearish. Friday every candle printed red and the 35EMA is above us facing down so definitely look to that as resistance.
The 30min 200MA is also facing down and above that we have even more resistance.
I am not in a hurry to go long here until we print a green candle OR hit the bottom of the implied move at 565, which ever comes first
QQQ – Another Channel in Play: Breakout or Breakdown?QQQ has been respecting a series of parallel channels since March of 2023, forming a classic stair-step bullish pattern. Each channel ended with a break below the 10-week SMA.
🔸 Strong Trend Structure
▪ The chart shows five clear ascending parallel channels, each followed by a corrective/downward or sideways phase.
▪ This stair-step structure is characteristic of bullish price action, followed by consolidations, which often signals a healthy uptrend.
🔸 Channel Integrity
▪ Each channel respects its upper and lower bounds well, showing consistent buying pressure and trend continuation.
▪ There are multiple touch points for each upper and lower band, showing price support and resistance levels.
▪ The last channel is slightly narrower than the previous ones, which could imply momentum compression before either:
• A breakout (continuation upward).
• A breakdown (channel failure and pullback).
🔸 Risk Zone
▪ If QQQ breaks below the channel support and the 10-week moving average, the next likely support zone is around $540–$550.
🔸 Key Levels
▪ Upside Target: If QQQ breaks above the channel, we could see $600+ based on the measured move of prior legs.
▪ Watch volume for confirmation on any breakout attempt.
▪ Support Zone: If the channel fails, $540–$550 is the first major demand area aligned with prior consolidation.
🔸 Trade Ideas
▪ Bullish Bias: Breakout with strong volume, stop below channel support.
▪ Bearish Bias: Breakdown on confirmed move below channel and moving average.
Note: This is not investment advice. Do your own research before making any trade decisions. Always conduct your own due diligence before investing.

QQQ (5 September)The slope of the lines matters for pattern bias
Sloping slightly down from $583 to $580
Holding flat around $563–$565
That shape is actually closer to a descending triangle
Bearish continuation if support breaks
But here’s the nuance,
Descending triangles typically form after a downtrend, as continuation
QQQ is in a strong uptrend, so even if the geometry looks bearish, context says bulls still have an edge
In uptrends, these patterns can fail bearishly & instead resolve higher, especially if support keeps holding
So the pattern could be read 2 ways,
Descending triangle with support at $563 breaks = $545–$550
A coiling consolidation under resistance, which still may resolve upward given the broader trend
The key difference will be whether $563 breaks down or holds
Bearish breakdown (descending triangle plays out) at 35% because the macro trend is up since April & bulls usually defend support zones first, but if $563 breaks with volume, bears gain momentum quickly
Bullish breakout (uptrend prevails) at 50% because of the broader uptrend + strong dip buying since April
Each rejection at $580 has been shallow, showing underlying demand
Price keeps oscillating between $563–$580 for another week at 15% in the short run, but if it drags on too long, the eventual breakout becomes stronger

QQQ Potential Bearish ResolutionThe white volume line has been fading during the climb inside the wedge
That’s typical of an exhaustion rally inside an ascending broadening wedge where price pushes higher on weaker participation
The last push up showed a small bounce in volume, but not a breakout-level surge
For a wedge, this usually suggests the rally is running out of gas rather than building strength
Broadening wedges often end with a volume pickup on the breakdown, not on the way up
If we see that white line spike while price loses the wedge bottom, that would be a strong bearish confirmation
Conversely, if volume expands while breaking above $573–$574, it would invalidate the bearish read & confirm strength instead
So, right now volume is consistent with a potential bearish resolution
$BTC 4-Year Cycle Is NOT Dead According to $QQQ $SPXIt’s really weird cause everyone keeps telling me the ₿itcoin 4-year cycle is dead yet Nasdaq and S&P 500 follow nearly the exact same pattern with cycle lows 🤓
It’s almost as-if monetary and fiscal policy creates this boom and bust cycle every 4-years 🤔
Question for the “this time is different people”….
Will NASDAQ:QQQ and SP:SPX not have similar bear markets as we’ve seen in the past along with CRYPTOCAP:BTC ?

WISH YOU ALL LUCK
QQQ Breakout, Continuation, or CorrectionSupport levels are far below current price, but they anchor downside risk if a true bear phase begins
Clear $585 with an upside target $600–$625 (aligns with R2)
Hold between $568–$585, market consolidates until macro data (jobs, CPI, Fed)
Weekly close back below R1 ($568) opens a slide to $540 & maybe toward $482 if selling accelerates
QQQ Battlefield Map1. Immediate Support Holds (~55%)
QQQ consolidates above current levels
A push above $583.32 (recent high) would confirm bullish continuation
$589–$590 or retest of envelope top/channel resistance
$600 is a round-number magnet & could trigger breakout momentum
Extension to $607–$610, based on measured move from the last swing
Biggest shelf (high-volume node) is $565–$575
This matches where QQQ has been consolidating with lots of buyers & sellers
2. Break Below $560s (~35%)
Signals loss of short-term momentum
Eyes turn toward $540 (23.6% Fib) - first real downside test
Major support in the area of $529–$540
100d SMA ($529) + Fib ($540) is a critical test
Bounces & dip-buyers defend trend
Failure & trend weakens significantly
Secondary shelf at $520–$530 perfectly lines up with Fib 38.2% ($514) & 100d SMA
Low-volume gap at $545–$555
If QQQ breaks under $565, it can slide fast into this pocket before stabilizing at $540/$530
3. Deeper Downside (~10% - unless macro shock)
$493 (50% Fib) is midpoint retrace, strong demand area (if market turns risk-off, this is the magnet )
$472 (61.8% Fib) is the golden ratio area of support
If this breaks, trend structure flips bearish with risk toward $440–$433
