Wrong — QQQ moved +4.2% ($581 → $606)

Lesson
My prediction that geopolitical concerns and the Indian Finance Minister's statement would negatively impact the S&P 500 within 24 hours was incorrect; the QQQ actually rose significantly. This suggests that the market's reaction to geopolitical news may be less immediate and direct than anticipated, or that other factors outweighed these concerns in the short term. Avoid overemphasizing geopolitical events when predicting short-term market movements, especially when focusing solely on isolated events.
