$QQQ managed to recover all declines from the start of the week and finish the week just sitting on the last resistance level at $494.
It is very clear here that a positive week of earnings and a test of the $503 level would be very easy.
Flipping this level to support will be the icing on the cake for the bulls....as we lead into November 5th, US election.
The elephant in the room is what happened at the last earnings season, during this substantial week, there was violent moves to the downside, coupled with strong macro influences from Japan, if this happens again, Wave C will be confirmed for me.
