QQQ Price Prediction Hinges on September FOMC Meeting

The QQQ price prediction hinges on the upcoming FOMC meeting on September 15-16, which is expected to deliver a 25-basis-point rate hike with a hawkish statement.

Currently, the QQQ trades at $709.72, pinned below every meaningful short-term moving average and within striking distance of a $699-$704 flush if the FOMC delivers a hawkish surprise.

The technical reality check shows that the SMA 7 ($713.31), SMA 20 ($716.85), EMA 12 ($713.73), and EMA 26 ($714.53) are all stacked above price in a bearish sequence, with the SMA 50 at $708.92 being the only moving average QQQ is barely above.

The Bollinger Band picture is unambiguous, with QQQ skewing toward the lower band ($701.89) rather than the midline ($716.85), and the upper band at $731.81 looking like a distant memory.
