Stock Market Falling? This is When You Strike
In a Nutshell
Markets have erased over $300B after Iranian attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, pushing QQQ down 2.4% and semis sharply lower, though the index still holds above the key 700 support. Traders should wait for confirmation at 700 before shorting a break or buying the reversal, avoiding early entries while overleveraged. Cash on the sidelines from prior overbought levels positions investors to capitalize on the next recovery once support or reversal is confirmed.

A market correction is long overdue, but there is nothing new happening right now. It might feel like a lot of fear depending on current positions, but the overall NASDAQ market through QQQ has not yet broken below 700. The 700 level was discussed as a common support range over the weekend, while the common resistance range sits around 730-740, representing oversold and overbought levels.
Over $300 billion has been erased from the US market in the last 30 minutes as Iran attacked two commercial vehicles in the Strait of Hormuz.

Semiconductor stocks are getting hit the hardest today due to events in the South Korean market.
