When preparation meets precision, trades like this feel effortless. Our QQQ plan for 07/22 nailed the bullish setup and hit the key target zone with textbook flow. Let’s break it down so you can see why this worked — and how to spot similar setups in the future.
🔵 The Bullish Setup That Worked
📍 Trigger: Break and hold above 562.00
🎯 Targets: 565.00 (TP1), 570.00 (TP2)
📊 Logic:
Price consolidated right below 562.00 near ZeroGEX, hinting at a gamma squeeze in the making. Once 562.00 cracked, call walls at 565 and 570 lined up perfectly with positive charm flows and ITM delta support from 560. A GEX ratio of 0.97 left plenty of room for expansion as buyers stepped in aggressively.
As you can see in the chart, the breakout was clean. Price exploded through 562.00, tagged 565.00, and hovered right at our first target zone.
📉 Why the Bearish Scenario Didn’t Trigger
🔴 Bearish Plan:
- Trigger: Break and hold below 559.00
- Targets: 556.00 and 553.00
Instead of rejecting at 562.00, price caught strong bid support and never gave us confirmation below 559.00. The negative gamma (-77k) aligned for a potential move lower, but buyers overwhelmed the zone, flipping the script bullish.
This is why discipline matters: no confirmation, no trade.
🧠 Key Takeaways for QQQ Traders
✅ Gamma Flow Awareness
This trade hinged on understanding how gamma conditions can create squeezes. Once 562.00 flipped, market makers had to buy into strength, creating acceleration to our targets.
✅ Patience at Triggers
Notice how price consolidated before breaking out? Waiting for a clean hold above 562.00 filtered out false signals and protected us from FOMO entries.
✅ Plan Both Sides
Even though the bearish scenario didn’t hit, having it mapped gave us clarity on what not to do.
📅 Prepping for the Next QQQ Move
The 565.00 call wall held up well today. For the next session, keep an eye on 565.00–570.00 for potential continuation or rejection zones. Review upcoming macro events and watch flow dynamics early in the session.

⚡ Hard Truth:
If you’re still relying on lagging RSI and MACD crossovers, you’ll keep chasing after the real move already started. Gamma, charm, and liquidity flows are the future.
