QQQ Price Prediction: NVDA's $96B Blowout Fuels the $740 Case — But Warsh Holds the Kill Switch

QQQ, an ETF tracking the Nasdaq-100, is at a technical crossroads, with mixed signals from indicators like RSI and MACD. Nvidia's strong earnings, with $96.2B revenue and a 70% growth outlook, could boost QQQ, but Fed Chair Warsh's upcoming speech poses a risk. Analysts expect QQQ to test resistance at $729.27 or support at $711.61 based on Warsh's stance.
