360.87 the low from yesterday
354.15-354.87 some weekly support from Nov '20

QQQ 6 months, daily candles Still above the June lows here which is different than the S&P. Those lows got tested in futures action and held up on the first pass. With the daily RSI oversold a bounce somewhere in this area seems like a decent probability, but watching to see if we need to flush those June lows first, like the S&P. (support)
