Market Action

Gap down and strong recovery to end a choppy weak that overall saw us break down lower from a range and test the 50sma area again. Leaders have taken some hits but overall I think we have been consolidating. Today’s lows are certainly key moving forward. We are still below the 10 and 21ema on the QQQ and need to see follow through early next week to confirm the strength.

Many stocks and indexes showed Oops reversals today which is when we gap down below the prior day’s low and rally back through that level. This can be the start of a short term momentum change.

QQQ
Oops reversal and reclaiming the 50 sma. Still has work to do. Slight undercut today of the prior key low.
QQQ chart
IWM
Weaker and choppier. Below all the MAs. Good strength off the open

IBIT
Following through down. It will be interesting to see how crypto names react over the weekend.

Additional Thoughts

Constructive day today that likely is the short term momentum low. Sentiment got very negative last night. AI, Solar, Data Centers, Biotech, Oil & Gas, Gold/Silver, Energy the key themes for me.

Now we need to see follow through higher.
