SPY 5 days, hourly candles (and the ES chart showing the missing 2 hrs of action the TD SPY chart leaves off). S&P futures gapped under Friday's RTH lows, but late yesterday evening reversed, and started to reclaim that level; Currently they've got back more than half of the declines. 425ish the corresponding futures low
434 the corresponding futures high so far
SPY 3 months, daily candles Friday saw follow thru off the Thursday reversal/bullish piercing candle, and actually pushed back above the 12ema (white line), closed above. Watching for daily and weekly "lower highs" whenever this bounce move tops out, in the context of being in daily and weekly downtrends. This big bounce has created room for bulls to attempt "higher lows" anywhere above recent lows though, whenever this move tops out. 437.84 the high from Friday and first resistance
438.66 right after that
444.99 the 200 day MA
448.06 the last daily "lower high", and anything under there on this current bounce keeps the daily downtrend intact 427.86 the low from Friday and first support on this timeframe, lose that area and the new daily "lower high" gets set
410.64 the Thursday low after that, bulls will be looking for a pivot anywhere above there, for an attempt to then go make higher highs (over whatever high this current bounce tops at) and change the daily trend back in their favor

QQQ 3 months, daily candles Thursdays strong reversal and bullish piercing candle saw follow thru Friday, stopping just under the 12ema (white line). Looking for the next daily/weekly lower high whenever this bounce tops out, in the context of downtrends on both those timeframes. 345.98 the high from Friday and first resistance
346.09 that daily 12ema
346.81 right after that
350-351ish some chunkier volume profile resistance comes into play
357.09 the last daily "lower high" and anything under there on this current bounce keeps the downtrend intact 337.39 Friday's low and first support, lose that level and the new daily "lower high" gets set (at Friday's high)
318.26 the Thursday low - bulls will be looking to pivot anywhere above there once we do see daily consolidation of this bounce, so they can have a chance at changing the daily trend
