Weekly Analysis
The $SPY closed at $431.39 (-1.05%) on Friday. Price has broken the lower trendline of a rising wedge on the daily candlestick chart; an ominous sign indeed. On the weekly, things look less grim with price appearing to head for a retest of a liquidity zone on the volume shelf, which hopes are on it holding and serving as a launchpad for a retest (or breakout) of the upper trendline.
The $QQQ closed at $357.59 (-1.07%) on Friday. On the daily chart, we see similar price action as the $SPY with price piercing a lower trendline of an ascending wedge; with an Anchored VWAP from May’s lows leaving a question on the chart. The weekly candlestick chart’s price action was rejected at the 1.618 fib extension; an expectation that proceeds many questions into the week to come.
