With the first trading week of 2023 in the books, we find that QQQ has found support on the weekly 250 period moving average. The volume for the week was light, but positive. The question I ask is, have we found support here at the 250 week moving average or is this just another pause to lower lows? With corporate earning reports beginning to be released this month, we are most likely going to see more volatility to the downside.
I am expecting this week starting tomorrow January 9 to produce more volatility and more pressure to the downside. I’ve added $100 to my principal trading amount as of Thursday of last week. So, I will be putting more to work. I plan to add $100 to my principle each month.
As of Monday, the 9th, my post will be for subscribers only. I will post some free content here and there every so often.
Charts
QQQ Weekly Chart
QQQ ETF is still in a intermediate downtrend. Below the 90-period moving average.
QQQ Daily Chart
The daily QQQ ETF chart indicates a continuation of a intermediate downtrend as well on a 90-period timeframe.
Summary
Until we see a recovery in corporate earnings, CPI, ISM and a change in the Federal Reserve’s position on the Fed Funds rates, we should expect continued pressure to the downside.
Continue to risk manage using Trailing-Stop-Loss orders as well as walking the Volume, Volatility and Price movement to get the best trades out of the QQQ.
