QQQ trade ideas
"This is fine" on Nasdaq?The general sentiment coming into this week is that the bear trend is over and "things are fine." Maybe. This morning there was a 30m opening spike on NASDAQ:QQQ I cannot ignore. It is happening right at the big Daily 50% Retracement of the leg down:
The level is even more prominent on Nasdaq futures and one can add the Volume Profile Point of Control to said level.

Not financial advice
More potential downsideEveryone is picking bottoms that is dangerous in this environment, this chart is Elliott wave we are at the top of the b-wave and it is considered a bull trap but we could get a v shape and may not get follow through in which case the b-wave becomes a new wave 5. It could go either wave but my bias is we get follow through to the downside but its just an opinion you have to due whats best for you.

Anticipating a 2022-style ICT iFVG bearish model. Front-running the setup w/ GDP shrinkage narrative (real or not, price moves on perception).

Sounds nuts? Maybe. But when we get there… I’m very long. 📉📈

Don't be terrified/tarrified !!! It's time to go LONG not SHORT9th April is a crucial day , imo of viewing this chart.
He was not bluffing the people as it turns out. However, after a week, the market got terrified and heads south but noticed it did not formed a lower low from 9th April candle.
25th April candle tells us it has breaks out from the resistance level and the last two days have been pretty bullish as well.
I believe the media is getting fatigue of the tariffs matter and we can see that US and China are behind the curtains "negotiating" while leaving the market guessing who really called who. That was the decoy and it is not important other than face saving. More importantly, the chart has once again convinced us that the buyers are encouraged and prove their actions by longing the market.
So whose buying ? Cathy Woods
Could the price action reverse ? Of course, though I think the probability is not high. Hedge funds are already queuing to buy bank shares based on favourable Q1 results , a positive sign.
As usual, please DYODD
Volatility Setup Likely: VIX Breakout + QQQ Rejection = Risk Summary:
We now have alignment between two key charts:
🔹 VIX has broken major resistance with large institutional call buying
🔹 QQQ is facing trendline resistance with weakening momentum.
The setup points to a potential volatility surge + tech pullback over the next 1–3 weeks.
📉 QQQ Technical Breakdown:
QQQ is stalling under descending resistance from the February highs.
Friday’s candle closed just under the downtrend line, with volume tapering off — a classic exhaustion signal.
Multiple resistance zones cluster between 474–485, making this a high-friction zone.
RSI is rolling under 55, stalling near its last bear rejection zone.
Price is still trapped below the 100 EMA and 50 EMA, suggesting no clear bullish breakout yet.
⚠️ Key danger: If QQQ fails to reclaim 482–485, it risks reversing sharply toward 458–460, then possibly 440.
📈 VIX: Likely to Make a Big Move, Smart Money Buying Calls
As QQQ weakens, the VIX has already broken out:
Support flip at 23.50 is confirmed
Price is hovering above 25, with all short-term EMAs stacked beneath (bullish configuration)
Option flow for VIX is explosive:
$4M+ on 21C (May)
$2.2M on 22C (May)
Heavy demand at 30C (May) and 34–70C for later months
📊 Interpretation: Institutions are positioning now for a volatility event before late May — possibly driven by a tech sector retracement.
🔄 The Macro Setup:
Index Signal
VIX Bullish — breakout, EMA support, aggressive call flow
QQQ Bearish bias — resistance hold, weak volume, bearish structure
RSI (both) Neutral zone with momentum divergence forming
🎯 Trading Outlook:
Short bias on QQQ as long as it remains under 485
Long VIX exposure (direct or via calls) could be rewarded if QQQ falters
Watch May 21 and May 22 for VIX option expiries — institutions expect a move by then
📣 Final Thought:
The calm is deceptive. The breakout has already happened — just not where most are looking.
VIX is coiled and ready. QQQ is stretched and stalling.
The conditions for a volatility spike and tech pullback are in place.

QQQ - Your guess is as good as mineMarkets are all over the place. I know ground breaking info. I don't think there is any clear answer to what is next.
Even if Trump does reduce tariffs on China, they are still going to be some of the highest in recent history. However, it looks like Trump has flinched and China has the upper hand. That is just likely going to make Trump more erratic since his policies are emotional/ego driven and not strategic.
Overall, there are likely some short-term gains to be have as the market likes to always push up when not in an panic sell. For now, the worst of the news is over and the low from the other week is likely going to be the bottom for the near future. I expect stock to continue this up and down until the tariffs work there way through the system and we see the true effect on the economy.
We punched above the 20 day SMA yesterday and will likely test it for support today and tomorrow. If it holds, I wouldn't be surprised to see prices test the 200 day. Hard to know what crazy stuff Trump will do over the weekend, so we will have to see. Good luck and enjoy the ride.

QQQ Ready to Rip Higher? Gamma Pressure + SMC Confirmation Align 🚀
QQQ is showing strong signs of continuation as we head into the next session. Let's break it down using both Options GEX sentiment and Smart Money Concepts (SMC) structure.
🔍 GEX Outlook (Options Sentiment)
* Highest positive NETGEX sits at the 445–448 range, acting as a magnet.
* We’ve already reclaimed the HVL support at 430, and the Options Oscillator is lighting up bullish.
* Calls make up 26.9% of the flow and GEX flipped full green, meaning market makers are likely long gamma — pushing price toward resistance.
* Resistance clusters:
* 445–448: GEX9 and 2nd Call Wall.
* 466.35 & 479.02: Target zones from price action.
💡 Options Trade Idea:
445C or 450C (0DTE–2DTE) — scalp toward the GEX magnet zone.
460C+ (Next Week) — swing if price holds above 447.8 and you want to play the extension to 466–479 range.
📈 Technical Analysis (SMC + Structure)
* MTF trend bias: 30m & 1h bullish.
* Strong bullish structure with ChoCH → BOS → rally confirmation.
* Thin volume during this leg up is a cautionary flag — be selective with entries.
* Price must hold above 447.8 to remain in bullish continuation.
* If volume steps in, this could be a session high sweep with fuel left.
* Setup: Bullish Hold
* Entry: Await confirmation near 447.8 zone.
* Target 1: 466.35
* Target 2: 479.02
* Stop: Below 441.01
🧠 My Thoughts:
This looks like a textbook GEX compression + SMC breakout alignment. MM positioning is bullish and technicals are lining up with a classic continuation pattern. However, thin volume could mean a stall or trap — I’d stay nimble, scale in on dips, and tighten stops once we push into the 455–460 zone.

🚨 Strategy Tips:
Use confirmation candles on the 15–30min for entries.
Combine with volume spikes or order flow data (Bookmap/Footprint).
Watch for reactions near RB Zones and Walls for intraday scalps.
