Nasdaq-100 QQQ near Triple Support/Resistance

The February 19, 2020 PRR highlighted the Nasdaq-100 and QQQ wedge (purple lines) and stated: “The QQQ chart shows a rising wedge (ascending purple lines), subsequent breakout, and measured target (242.06). Fibonacci projection resistance is at 243.46 (red line), Those levels are 2 – 2.5% above today’s close.”

Barron’s rates iSPYETF as “trader with a good track record” and Investor’s Business Daily says: “When Simon says, the market listens.” Find out why Barron’s and IBD endorse Simon Maierhofer’s Profit Radar Report.

QQQ missed the measured target for the wedge breakout by a couple percent before falling hard. More interestingly, QQQ is now back at original wedge resistance (around 201), which is reinforced by the 200-day SMA and the 50% Fibonacci retracement level (February 19 high – March 23 low).

Just a couple of weeks ago, QQQ traded 17% below its 200-day SMA, and now it’s above the 200-day SMA, the quickest such recovery ever.

There’ve been 11 other times when QQQ clawed back from a 10% or more drop below its 200-day SMA to above the 200-day SMA rather quickly. The forward returns were inconsistent, but if QQQ relapsed, it tended to happen fairly quickly after the initial bounce back above the 200-day SMA.

In summary, there is a triple support/resistance zone at 200-202 for the QQQ, and how price behaves around this zone may set the stage for the coming days and weeks.
