The $QQQ and $NDX situation really comes down to one thing—you can't stay in this trade without taking a stance on tomorrow's CPI print.

We're closing the day right around the $628 level. It's the inflection point.

Here's the setup: if we close below, expect a gap up at the open. Close above it, and we're looking at a gap down scenario. The data drop tomorrow basically tells us which way we're breaking. Everything rides on those numbers.

So what's your read—do we punch through or pull back?

628 is really the critical point; once the CPI data is released, everything will be settled.

628 is indeed a critical level, but to be honest, I never bet on data like CPI; it's too easy to get trapped.

Position 628 is really a critical point; if tomorrow's CPI data isn't strong enough, we'll break through the defenses directly.

628 is indeed a critical point; once the CPI data is released tomorrow, we'll know who is swimming naked.

I kept an eye on the 628 level all day. Once the CPI was released, it had to break through no matter what; there was no other choice.

As soon as the CPI data is released, you'll know who's been swimming naked. Whether the market is saved or crashed tomorrow really depends on that number.

Looking forward to tomorrow's CPI surprise, just eating noodles.
