QQQ Holding 600 As Sridhar Prints Another $5K Day

In partnership with

Hey Options Trader,

This week feels like a pause more than a push. After the weekend tariff headlines, I expected more downside pressure, but the market absorbed it better than most anticipated. That tells me we’re in a digestion phase rather than a breakdown phase. I’m staying neutral for now, keeping capital flexible and letting price action confirm the next move. There are still selective bullish opportunities, especially in names positioned outside of crowded tech trades.

Here’s what we are covering:

1. My market outlook and key QQQ levels

2. Client Spotlight featuring Sridhar’s five figure consistency

3. Free Trade of the Week on…

4. My latest YouTube breakdown on safety and diversification

Market Snapshot

I’m neutral this week. $QQQ ( ▼ 1.22% ) held the 600 level despite tariff-related pressure, which is constructive, but not enough for me to lean aggressively bullish. If we break below 600, 580 is clearly on the table. If we continue to hold this 600 range, then 620 could be in play over the next few weeks. February is historically a weaker month, so I don’t expect major expansion until March begins.

The $VIX ( ▲ 10.06% ) closed at 21, and that’s the main reason I’m not pressing long exposure. A spike toward 25 would likely trigger a short-term flip lower in the market. I’m sitting at 16.5% cash, ready to deploy aggressively if we get a panic-style flush.

Client Spotlight

Sridhar continues to impress. He generated $67,000 in his first month inside the program and has consistently been putting up five figure months since. Even in last Friday’s volatility, he closed out a $5,000 day with discipline and precision.

We also had Mike close this month so far at $52,000 in profit with zero losses, along with multiple other members locking in wins across the group. The consistency across the community is what stands out most.

Free Trade of the Week

Ticker: $CDE ( ▼ 0.81% )  
Strategy: Sell the March 27th $21 put
Premium Collected: $92
Duration: 34 days
ROI: 4.61%
Annualized Return (compounded monthly): Approximately 71.6%
Risk: Assignment risk if CDE falls below 21 at expiration. If assigned, shares would be acquired below the mid Bollinger Band, providing a technical cushion and long-term entry in a profitable precious metals miner.

I like this setup because CDE provides diversification outside of tech and serves as a strong proxy in the precious metals space. Central banks continue adding metals to their balance sheets, and someone has to mine those resources. Being positioned below the mid Bollinger Band gives us technical support while collecting strong premium in a higher volatility environment.
