Market Action

As mentioned in the weekend report we had bounced nicely and were due for a “stress test” in the coming sessions. Today we got some of that with many gap downs off the open. Strong response from most names and opportunities on oops reversals to position. Now we are watching for follow through higher.

QQQ
Good action off the open and holding the key level.
QQQ chart
IWM
Weaker, fade off highs and retesting the level
IWM chart
IBIT
Gap down but good push off the open. If it can hold here likely the start of a bottoming process.
IBIT chart

Short-term – 21 ema – Above
Intermediate term – 50 sma – Above

Additional Thoughts

Biotech theme pulling in a bit. Decent action from growth names off the open. Personally focused on CRDO to see if we get a low risk spot.
