AMD - Correction of -40% over?NASDAQ:AMD just created a new all time high, however we have to be quite careful now.
Volatility is the basis of every major trading position and trading profit. Advanced Micro Devices is just such a stock which offers volatile swings every now and then. Currently Advanced Micro Devices is retesting the previous all time high which is now acting as support. I do expect a move higher but there is simply no good risk to reward setup at the current levels.

Apple - Caution at the all time high!NASDAQ:AAPL just created a new all time high, however we have to be quite careful now.
Trading cycles in an overall uptrend is one of the most profitable trading approaches. You are trying to capitalize on the major upswings and missing out on the major downswings. Apple is currently retesting resistance and probably creating the top of the previous cycle. I am waiting for a move back to support before we will then see the next major bullish cycle on Apple.

Intel - Retest, reversal and rejection!NASDAQ:INTC has been establishing a slight bullish trend over the past couple of years.
A clear trend is the basis of every profitable trade, right? Yes and no. You should primarily focus on trading trends and entering positions during such phases. But Intel is a textbook example of a range bound stock; still there are trading opportunities everywhere. Currently Intel is retesting support and is starting to reverse towards the upside. But please: Manage your risk properly.

Amazon - Why is there no resistance?NASDAQ:AMZN broke out of a long term consolidation phase and is starting a massive rally.
Every major consolidation is followed by a major breakout. And if the overall trend is bullish, a bullish breakout is more likely to happen. Last month Amazon finally broke above a multi year resistance level and is now heading back to the top of the rising channel formation. If we actually get a retest of the breakout level, you can then simply enter a long position.

Nasdaq - (Bullish) Clarity in two days!TVC:NDQ is now retesting a very important inflection level and maybe attempting a breakout.
Parabolic rise or -20% correction over the next couple of months. So far there is a lot of uncertainty as to whether the Nasdaq will manage to break above the current resistance trendline. We simply have to wait for this monthly candle closure as well as the monthly candle closure of July until we can make a clear prediction. So far, everything is still possible!

Alphabet - It is just a textbook company!NASDAQ:GOOGL has been one of the best performing stocks over the previous decade.
The most profitable stocks are the ones which trade under the radar. And Alphabet (Google) is definitely one of these stocks which is simply trending higher, providing textbook trading opportunities and not a "hype" stock. Slow and steady wins the race, but you have to be careful that you don't miss your chances. After a retest of the breakout level, you can enter a long trade.

Ethereum - Is everything already over?CRYPTO:ETHUSD is struggling to break above the previous all time high and might correct soon.
Please don't look at headlines and news regarding cryptocurrencies. Overall these messages are just preventing you from objectively looking at the chart. Ethereum is creating higher highs and higher lows, meaning that Ethereum is trading in an uptrend. Even if Ethereum is not able to break above the previous all time high, market structure still remains decently bullish.

Tesla - Breakout leading to four digits!NASDAQ:TSLA is attempting to break out of the long term descending triangle consolidation.
If you cannot wait patiently for your textbook setups, there is no chance you will make money trading. For almost four years, Tesla has been consolidating in a huge triangle formation. And it seems like Tesla is finally breaking out towards the upside. This breakout was actually not unexpected at all and provides a very high probability trading opportunity in the near future.

Bitcoin - Eventually hitting $250.000?BITSTAMP:BTCUSD is looking extremely bullish despite the recent 4 month consolidation.
For more than four months, Bitcoin has basically been moving sideways, experiencing quite volatile swings towards the upside and downside. However we should not neglect the overall bullish behaviour of Bitcoin which is still creating cycle and correction after cycle and correction. Therefore, maybe after a short term pullback, I do expect (much) higher prices on Bitcoin.

Gold - Should we take profits now?OANDA:XAUUSD has been heading higher and creating a strong rally; time to take profits.
Gold is still clearly bullish, creating higher highs and higher lows on the higher timeframes. But we also always have to keep in mind, that metals and commodities in general are always following anticipated economic cycles. It is actually quite likely, that after the recent rally of +30% we will now see a retracement on Gold, maybe even back to the previous breakout level.

Amazon - Breakdown of the breakout!NASDAQ:AMZN is definitely ready for a major bullish (triangle) breakout.
Here we have a textbook example of a bullish stock. Amazon's stock chart is simply moving from bottom left to top right. Of course there are minor corrections here and there, but the trend is clearly higher. For the past four months, Amazon has been hugging a horizontal resistance level and is preparing a bullish breakout. This will certainly become a decent break and retest setup.

Dogecoin - Last buy before +250% pump!CRYPTO:DOGEUSD broke out of another triangle formation and is preparing a major move.
Cycle after cycle after cycle. Dogecoin is definitely one of these assets where you have to look at the higher timeframes; otherwise there is a high risk that you get caught up in short term moves. The trend is clearly bullish and five months ago Dogecoin broke out of a symmetrical triangle formation. We also have a valid break and retest, all indicating a bullish reversal.

Silver - One of two (bullish) scenariosOANDA:XAGUSD recently broke a lot of strong, previous resistance towards the upside.
Silver, metals in general, are experiencing increasing demand in 2024. Therefore, prices of Gold and especially Silver have been increasing for the past couple of months. Silver broke two major previous resistance levels towards the upside and these two levels are now obviously acting as support. If Silver manages to retest these areas, a bullish reversal will occour quite likely.

S&P500 - Where will we go next?Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at the S&P500 .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
Fore more than a decade, the S&P500 has been trading in a pretty clean rising channel formation. We had the last retest of support in 2022, which was followed by bullish confirmation and a rally of +45% in 1.5 years. At the moment the S&P500 is neither retesting support nor resistance and the path of least resistance is simply higher.

AMD - Trading opportunity is almost there!Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at AMD .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
The stock chart of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is looking quite interesting at the moment: A couple of months ago AMD broke out of a major symmetrical triangle formation, creating another rally of roughly +100%. But at the moment AMD also already corrected roughly -40% and is approaching a major confluence of support at the $125 level from which we could see another bullish reversal and rally.

Nasdaq - Soon heading to $30.000?Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at the Nasdaq .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
For more than a decade, the Nasdaq index has been trading in a rising channel formation with the last retest of the support trendline being back in the end of 2022. At the moment, Nasdaq is retesting the upper resistance trendline and if we actually see a breakout over the next 2 months, we might see a similar rally of +50% compared to the one which we saw back in 2020.

Gold - Another 15% rally from here!Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at Gold .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
For about four years, Gold has over and over again been retesting the psychological $2.000 resistance level. It was actually just a matter of time, until we see the breakout which happened exactly three months ago. So far Gold is looking very bullish and there is absolutely no reason why this strength should turn around in the near future.

Taiwan Semiconductor - Unknown stock with trading potentialNYSE:TSM is one of the rather unknown stocks with an impressive market capitalization of 680 billion dollars.
Just a couple of months ago TSM finally broke above a major previous resistance level and confirmed the bullish triangle breakout. Momentum is quite strong so far so maybe we will never see the previous structure again. In this case there is no need to actually chase the all time high. However, a pullback might still be quite likely and this might present an interesting long opportunity in the future.

Meta Platforms - Watch the earnings!Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at Meta Platforms.
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
For more than five years Meta Platforms has been trading in a reverse symmetrical triangle formation. We saw the last retest of support back in the end of 2022 which was followed by a decent rally of +450% towards the upside. At the moment Meta Platforms is retesting the upper resistance of the triangle formation so it is quite likely that we will see at least a short term rejection towards the downside.

Amazon - Two trading setups!Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at Amazon.
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
In 2020 Amazon stock created massive resistance roughly at the $180 level and started a major correction away from the resistance in 2022. As we are speaking Amazon stock is once again retesting this major resistance level and is therefore at a quite decisive inflection point. Either we will see a breakout or another rejection after which we could then see the overall continuation towards the upside.

Intel - Reversing to the upside!Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at Intel .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
On the chart of Intel there are actually two major horizontal structure levels which you have to keep an eye on. First of all there is quite strong support at the $26 level and just a couple of months ago Intel rejected this support towards the upside. Vice versa there is resistance at the $44 level, always pushing price lower. As we are speaking Intel is also retesting a minor support so there is the chance to capitalize on a short term bounce.
