The QQQQ sold off in dramatic fashion on Thursday when it opened below Support at its 2006 High and then proved unable to recapture that line.
Thursday's 5-Minute Chart (below) shows that a failed area of Gathering Support often constitutes a sell signal and that when an initial area of Gathering Support fails, it often leads to a test of the day's secondary area of Gathering Support.
On Friday, the QQQQ is back within the arms of its two-month trading range and testing another significant area of Gathering Support that includes as two of its members the 20-Day and 50-Day Moving Averages.
Failed Support here would represent an additional short-term negative for the QQQQ with the potential to turn into an intermediate-term negative (lasting weeks to months).
