Analysis

QQQ trades 718.18, below EMA20 720.98 and the POC 728.47, trapped between the swing low 707.23 and last high 724.55 with negative order flow delta, setting up a short continuation toward 696.50. The VAL 719.12 must break lower to confirm momentum toward Target 1, as hold above EMA20 invalidates the setup. A close back above 730.23 stop level or reversal at the Bollinger middle band 719.36 kills the idea before risk is taken.

How to use this setup. A setup is a study of where the engine sees a favourable risk/reward, not a call to trade. Check the current price and structure first: the daily technical analysis shows live levels, and the dashboard a 15-minute read.
