There’s been a lot of interest in the Tech Sector of late. Long story short, the bears dropped the ball during the summer tech selloff as the PowerShares QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ) – Nasdaq 100 Index ETF – rallied back to new highs.
So where does the $QQQ stand now? Below is an update using DeMark Indicators across daily, weekly, and monthly time frames.
Daily Timeframe
Will print yet another TD Sell Setup with a Wednesday close above 141.01. How to interpret: buying pressure remains strong; a 1-4 bar pause/pullback is expected on the way higher to a Countdown Sell 13 completion. What will invalidate the above? A completed TD Buy Setup, i.e. a 9 count to the downside.
Weekly Timeframe
3-bars pullback off of 6/16 completed TD Sell Setup worked to perfection; Approaching secondary exhaustion (“Risk Level”) (at $143.41) of last completed Countdown Sell 13 (on 5/19/17). How to interpret? A qualified break of Risk Level is the only indicator containing a new leg higher. Bears need significantly lower prices to change posture of weekly chart in their favor.
Monthly Timeframe
Price already trading above Risk Level ($136.83) of last Countdown Sell 13 (on 2/28/17). If July close is above $137.64, and Aug 1 has a higher open and a print above that higher open, the Risk Level will break on a qualified basis, leaving bears with no help.
Thanks for reading and good luck out there.
