Wyckoff Summary: $QQQ Jump Across the Creek, SOS,

Wyckoff Summary: $QQQ

Jump Across the Creek, SOS, and Back-Up

Here’s the clean way to think about the current $QQQ setup through a Wyckoff lens:

1. Spring

First, the market printed the spring at $661.14.

That was the shakeout. Price briefly broke down, trapped sellers, then quickly reversed back into the range. In Wyckoff terms, that is often the final flush that clears supply before a stronger move begins.

2. Jump Across the Creek (JAC)

The Jump Across the Creek was the breakout move where price surged above the local resistance line with force.

For QQQ, that was the August 4th move:

strong wide-range up candle

breakout above the $700–$710 area

reclaim of the 50-day moving average

higher volume

demand clearly overpowering supply

That is the market “jumping the creek.”

3. Sign of Strength (SOS)

The SOS is the actual proof that buyers are in control.

In this case, the JAC and SOS are basically working together:

strong upward spread

expanding volume

breakout through resistance

follow-through from the prior rally attempt

So the August 4th breakout candle can be viewed as both the Jump Across the Creek and a Sign of Strength.

4. Back-Up to the Creek (BU)

After the breakout, Wyckoff expects price to often pull back and test the old resistance, which should now become support.

That is the Back-Up to the Creek.

For QQQ, that showed up as the pullback after the breakout:

price came back toward the breakout zone

tested the reclaimed support area

volume cooled versus the breakout session

sellers did not fully regain control

That is constructive. A healthy market often jumps first, then backs up to test the breakout.

5. What it means

The bullish sequence is:

Spring → Jump Across the Creek → Sign of Strength → Back-Up to the Creek → Markup

That is the roadmap bulls want.

6. Key QQQ levels

Here’s how I’d frame it now:

$710 = major support / creek area

$720 = reclaim zone that improves momentum

$723.85 = breakout / FTD reference

$730 = next major upside checkpoint

$700 = important danger line if support fails

7. Simple bottom line

The current idea is:

JAC: buyers blasted price through resistance

SOS: the breakout showed real strength and demand

BU: the pullback is the test of whether old resistance can become support

If $QQQ holds the $710 area and reclaims $720–$724, the Wyckoff markup thesis stays alive and the path toward $730+ stays open.

If $710 fails, then the backup is failing and risk rises for a move back toward $700.
