I added a long commentary to the $SPY chart so I have added in the Economic Calendar here for the week ahead.
I think we all know the significance of the FOMC meeting on the 17th and 18th, the market has been waiting for a Fed Pivot for 2 years now.
$QQQ chart, which is remarkably similar to the $NVDA chart and is still in its wedge and tested the upper limits to finish the week
Wave B can still go as high as the previous ATH at $503 but I have situated it at the amber 0.78 Fib
The $SPY chart still looks move bullish than the $QQQ right now, as the $QQQ is really at the mercy of the Semi and AI tech heavy companies right now that have shown a lot of volatility.
If the $QQQ can break higher and get to its previous ATH and hold above $503, the Melt Up scenario is on here too, any rejection between now and then can cause Wave C to be triggered.
Big week ahead.
