Market Action
QQQ – Volatile day as we broke lower from the inside day and tested the 21ema before bouncing into the close. We continue to consolidate under the reversal high. The overall environment is still choppy.
Bulls want to see us hold and tighten, before taking out the reversal high.
Bears want to see us reverse down, and see more earnings gap downs than gap ups from key growth names.

Leadership Stocks & Analysis
TSLA – Down below the 21ema after hours. Expecting a large move tomorrow.

AAPL break lower and then a bounce off the pivot

PLTR Good push off lows but this feels like churning action.

NVDA still chopping between the base pivot and 50sma. Will be tough for semis to make a meaningful move unless this begins trending

META Holding the 21ema but can’t overcome the key level yet. Tight

HOOD Bounce off the 50sma. I view this as starting a new base

RDDT Can’t overcome the 21ema just yet

AMZN gap down and filled the gap. Overall choppy

MSFT Tried to push higher but faded off highs.

PEGA strong move on earnings beat
