Market Action

Today the market it put in a positive expectation breaker as growth names bounced. We also saw many earnings gaps that held and trended, a positive sign.

QQQ
Bounce off the 21ema. We did fade off the gap down level and still have an unfilled gap. Constructive but needs to follow through and hold above the MAs
IWM
Reclaiming the 50sma and testing the key level. Good bar but needs to follow through higher.
IBIT
Strong positive ex breaker and yesterday is a potential reversal extension. Still has work to do in order to build out the base lows.

Trends 4/4 Up – based on the QQQ

Shortest – 10 Day EMA –   Above
Short-term – 21 ema – Above
Intermediate term – 50 sma – Above Rising
