As we near the end of August, the broader market saw a steady upward push, with SPY and DIA closing at new highs. QQQ showed positive action but remained below recent highs, and IWM lagged but held key support and bounced late.
Beneath the surface, the story was more complex: some big names consolidated, crypto churned, and RDDT stunned with a dramatic reversal.
This video update covers it all:
From the clean intraday structure in QQQ to the breakout setups in AAPL and ALAB, TSLA’s measured pullback, and a detailed review of price action in names like RKT, COIN, OKLO, and RDDT.
We also look ahead to PCE data and BABA earnings on Friday — potential catalysts for more volatility to close out the week.
