LMK when you figure that out…lol.

Just keep in mind that with the stark & basically unprecedented dichotomy between the handful of mega-tech stocks responsible for the bulk of the gains in the indexes in recent months/yrs vs. the vast majority of stocks lagging behind and/or in outright bear markets, while it has been a good “buy & hold the indexes” trade since the April lows, it has also very much been a very profitable “stock pickers” market for flexible traders trading both long & short or even those that don’t short, simply swing trading stocks with bullish setups; Be they continuation patterns or other bullish chart pattern breakouts, as well beaten down blue chips stocks that have fallen to very good support levels with divergences & oversold conditions.

Thanks I’m just trying to figure out how to play QQQ

A typical blow-off top, first of all, comes after a prolonged & very overbought bull trend. Typically, they are marked with a final thrust up that goes parabolic or nearly vertical, usually accompanied by a noticeable surge in volume (i.e., a buying climax).

Once the blow-off top/buying climax is over, the security (index, stock, sector, commodity, etc..) will often tend to fall just as fast as it rose leading up to the blow-off top, quite often even faster (but not always.. sometimes the ensuring bear trend following the top is a bit more of a process than an event).

A couple of examples that quickly come to mind: Bitcoin made a blow-off top into the end of 2017 & gold made a blow-off top at the end of its last bull market on that final run from June – Sept 2011.
