Technical analysis by roycejakob about Symbol QQQX: Sell recommendation (7/17/2024)

The Nasdaq100 QQQ is having its worst day in months. We've known that a significant correction in BIG tech (The Mag-7) was coming. We didn't time it perfectly, but we timed it pretty darn well, and now, we're reaping the lucrative rewards of being RIGHT! Our 7/19 $77 TQQQ put options nearly 7X'd this morning. I never "like" trading contracts with expirations that close, but what we've seen today provided a great example of how much reward they can carry if you're willing to take the risk. That's also why I chose to push back the dates on my new TQQQ put position to 8/9. I ultimately believe that the QQQ could be playing out this head and shoulders pattern that will bring it down to $465 by August 1st. That said, I plan to sell a bunch of contracts once/ if we see $474, then re-purchase them around here ($482-$484). I don't want to spend too much time celebrating, but in my opinion, it's necessary to take a victory lap when it's deserved. Congrats team. This market hasn't been easy to trade, but we've absolutely nailed it this week.
