Market Action

QQQ – We have now pushed above the wedge with today’s gap and go move and reclaimed the 21ema

On any backtest I would like to see today’s low area be defended.

In the 2018 case study below we retook the 21ema before failing shortly so be ready for anything and listen to market feedback on any pilot trades.

IWM – A bit weaker but near the top of the range

Market Corrections Case Studies

Here are the two case studies of 2018 and 2020 that provide examples of what you can expect form a correction just in case you haven’t seen them yet.

I’ve been taking a look at recent sharp corrections. Here is the 2024 Correction so far compared to the 2020 Correction. Patience (while still prepping for the uptrend) until test/reclaim moving averages from below + form a higher low. If active, tight leashes on trades

QQQ 2024 versus 2020 Case Study – All corrections exhibit similar type action.

Here is the current 2024 Correction versus the 2018 Correction. Notice in that one there were similar points where it looked to be over, only for the rally to fail at key MAs. We’ll see how this current one ultimately resolves. The low could be in, one day at a time.

QQQ 2024 versus 2018 Case Study – Patience is required during corrections, taking it day by until the market proves itself.

Also key is how potential leaders are acting. As the correction ends they will be all setting up and breaking out through pivots.

Look for group action, big gap ups, volume surges, Higher lows as the market makes lower ones, reclaims of moving averages

Avoiding the chop and frustration is key during corrections. Experienced traders can look to pick spots, daytrade or see if levels holds during the day to hold through the close but less is more until the wind is back at our back.

With all that said you should be getting excited. We’ve had some great opportunities in 2023 and 2024 and this correction is setting up another one. The longer this goes on and the deeper the correction, the greater the potential for another uptrend that could change your year and life. You just have to do your homework and be ready mentally when that happens.

Market Thoughts

Strong move today popping up through the 21ema. Many names i’ve been watching and trying are reconfirming higher.

A large down day is to be expected at some point. How stocks act then or on a gap down should provide some valuable clues about RS.
