So far, today’s breakout above the 161.70ish level in QQQ has been anything but impulsive, with prices trading sideways on low-volume since the breakout shortly after the open. This is non-confirmation of the breakout so far plus negative divergence in place on today’s breakout. As of now, the near-term trend remains bullish & I’m still leaning towards a move up to T2 (165.10 although those long QQQ might consider raising stop somewhat below the uptrend line/wedge off the April 6th lows to protect profits. 15-min chart:
