The price action of the $QQQ and $SPY are just about identical right now and I have wrote a long commentary on how I see the market moving this week under the $QQQ chart just uploaded and have discussed the scenarios.
Similarly, a lower low here and the next Fib support level in play becomes the 0.38 Fib at $512 which is a -10% drop from here, which seems quite realistic next.
I believe Wave A completes on this level and I would expect a Wave B next.
As I have said a few times now, a retest of the 200 Day MA from below typically happens twice, except in 2020, so if we do get another retest and a rejection then we know that a correction is certainly confirmed.
All eyes will be on Weds when Trump announces his 'Liberation Day' plan on Tariffs, with many believing he will announce pharmaceutical tariffs next.
The market does not like uncertainty and a trade war which is constantly fought over the media is not something that will cool the market from volatility.
