$QQQ: Can Buyers Defend This Level?

The market gave us a textbook retest this week, but now everyone is asking the same question: do tech bulls actually have the muscle to break into new highs, or are we heading for a pullback?

Here is how the trade played out step-by-step: $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$

Result: ✅ Target reached. Actual return: +3.24% on spot (+38% on call options)
Next setup: I’m not chasing the move after taking profit. I’m waiting for another clean setup with defined risk.

What's your play here?

When a key target hits, disciplined traders lock in gains and step back. Chasing green candles right into overhead resistance is usually how retail gets trapped.
