Cautious Outlook as EMA Crowding Persists
QQQ showed strong momentum early in the week with a sharp break above key resistance around 744 but pulled back significantly on Wednesday closing below 730. Volume and price action suggest profit taking after the rally failed to hold. SPY followed a similar pattern with a false breakout above 754 followed by a sharp reversal. Both indexes remain tightly consolidated between their 20 EMA and 50 EMA, signaling indecision in the market. Volatility remains low as measured by VIX which settled under 17 on Thursday after spiking on the previous session. Current price action suggests traders are awaiting catalysts before committing to a new direction.
