I don't see anything that stands out on the 60-minute chart other than the impressive [...]

QQQ & SPY Bounce to Resistance, S/T Trend Indicators Rolling Over

After a sharp drop in the first hour of trading, QQQ & SPY have experienced snap-back rallies into resistance with the MACD signal line recently crossing into bearish territory (short-term trend) for the first time in over a month.
