CrowdStrike: Member of a Small ClubThe broader market has been tumbling for months, but CrowdStrike has stood its ground. The first pattern on today’s chart is the March 10 low of $303.79. While the Nasdaq-100 has revisited levels from over a year ago, CRWD has held lows from a month prior. Support at such a recent level may reflect positive sentiment. Second, Wilder’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) made a higher low as the cybersecurity company made a slightly lower low. That positive divergence could also be viewed as a bullish signal. Third, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA in November and has stayed there since. Is a longer-term uptrend still in effect? Speaking of SMAs, CRWD is above its 20- and 200-day SMAs. That puts it in relatively elite clubs: Only 104 members of the S&P 500 are above their 20-day SMAs and just 138 are above their 200-day SMAs, according to TradeStation data. Those points may also suggest sellers have been less active in the name. TradeStation has, for decades, advanced the trading industry, providing access to stocks, options and futures.

Gold to print historic 30% correction?On the above 2 week chart Gold price action has completed the much anticipated Cup and Handle forecast to $2700, which was where Without Worries dabbled with a “short” position and was promptly stopped out much to the bugs delight. Price action has rallied 180% since the 2016 lows, amazing. The increased Money supply / Money printing is the reason I’m often given for this historic rally. The facts are the money supply has increased 68% since the 2016 lows and not 180%, which would price an ounce at $1750 today. Now I know someone will be quick to comment my being selective with dates. To that end we can go back further, 18 years since that fits over the well understood business cycle, which is approaching its peak. Since 2007 money supply has increased 195% with Gold price action 400%. This is a bubble. This idea is not about fundamentals however, it is technical only. 1) Price action is in bubble territory. Look left, 50% above the 5 week Gaussian channel saw corrections of at least 30%. 2) Price action on the 2 week chart prints the strongest negative divergence since the positive divergence in December 2013 at 1190 an ounce. 3) The $2000 support breakout has never confirmed support. 4) On the weekly chart a bearish engulfing candle prints as price action enters the Bollinger Band. A correction to 2730 is now highly probable. Is it possible price action continues up? Sure. Is it probable? No. Ww 5 week Gaussian channel Weekly bearish engulfing

SPY Analysis & Tariff TurmoilLast Friday, the market pressure was intense, and my bullish call option, targeting $537.64 on SPY, seemed overly ambitious as tariffs and political uncertainties peaked. I stated, " AMEX:SPY Trump went all in thinking he had the cards. We were getting sent back to the McKinley era," wondering when or if Trump would fold under international pressure and market realities. Fast-forward to Wednesday, April 8—Trump didn't just blink; he folded utterly, reversing the harsh tariff policies he initially defended aggressively. Prompted by China's aggressively dumping of U.S. Treasuries and stark recession warnings from Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, and JPMorgan, Trump pivoted significantly: • Base tariffs: 10% • Tariffs on China: Increased to 125% • Tariffs on U.S. goods entering China: Increased to 84% starting April 10 While temporarily bullish, these sudden, dramatic policy swings underline ongoing instability and volatility. However, with big bank earnings on deck this Friday, short-term momentum looks positive. Technical Levels & Trade Ideas Hourly Chart The hourly chart reveals a critical zone—dubbed "Liberation Day Trapped Longs"—between $544.37 (H. Vol Sell Target 1b) and $560.54 (L. Vol ST 2b). Bulls trapped here from recent highs may now look to exit on a relief rally. • Bullish Scenario: • Entry: SPY reclaiming and holding above $544.37. • Target 1: $560.54 (top of trapped longs) • Target 2: $566.54 (next resistance area) • Stop Loss: Below recent lows near $535 to limit downside. • Bearish Scenario (if tariffs intensify again or earnings disappoint): • Entry: Breakdown confirmation below $535. • Target 1: $522.20 (Weeks Low Long) • Target 2: $510.00, potential further support • Stop Loss: Above $544.50 to manage risk effectively. Daily Chart Perspective The broader daily chart shows SPY stabilizing around key lower supports after significant volatility. Recent price action suggests cautious optimism for an upward bounce, but considerable headwinds remain if tariff escalations resume. Final Thoughts The rapid tariff reversals and heightened volatility are unsettling. The short-term bullish move offers potential quick upside trades into earnings, but caution remains paramount. You can continue managing risks prudently and watch closely for political or economic headlines that could quickly shift market sentiment again.

Reddit Has Pulled BackReddit hit a record high early last month. Will some traders see an opportunity in the current pullback? The first pattern on today’s chart is the bullish gap on October 30 after earnings beat estimates. RDDT approached the low of that session on March 10 and again last week. It bounced both times. That apparent double bottom may suggest new support has been established. Next, the rebounds occurred around the 200-day simple moving average. Holding that line may suggest an uptrend is in place. Finally, stochastics have turned up from an oversold condition. The stock also closed above its 8-day exponential moving average. Those patterns are potentially consistent with prices bottoming.

Potential Downtrend in AlcoaAlcoa has bounced this month, but some traders could think it’s due for a pullback. The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower lows and lower highs since December. The aluminum company has climbed to the top of that falling channel, which may create potential resistance. Second, prices stalled at the falling 50-day moving average (SMA) in February and seem to be peaking at the same SMA this month. Speaking of the 50-day SMA, it recently had a “death cross” below the 200-day SMA. Next, stochastics are dipping from an overbought condition. Finally, the 52-week low is near $27 and last year’s low is under $25. Combined with the falling channel, those levels may provide space for potential moves to the downside.

The Election Was Support. Has it Become Resistance?Last year’s presidential election was a catalyst for stocks. Today’s idea considers its potentially shifting impact on sentiment. The first pattern on today’s S&P 500 chart is the range between 5597 and 5783. Those prices are the low of November 4 and the high of November 5, the Monday and Tuesday of election week. On January 13, SPX pulled back to find support at the top of the range. That bounce seemed to reflect ongoing optimism about the coming administration. (Inauguration was exactly a week later.) The index remained above that zone through early March before sliding below it. Prices have now rebounded but appear to be stalling at the bottom of the price range. Does that show a newer anxiety about policy? Next, Wilder’s relative strength index (RSI) made lower highs from early December -- despite SPX making incrementally higher highs. That kind of bearish divergence may be consistent with a longer-term trend fading. Third, SPX is under its 200-day simple moving average (SMA). Staying here may confirm a break of its longer-term uptrend. Finally, the 50-day SMA recently crossed below 100-day SMA. Both are falling. That may also suggest prices have stopped rising.

70% Upside Potential in this Nuclear StockOKLO is my personal favorite nuclear play that feeds off the AI energy. Really beat up since it's height in early February, down over 50% as of today (as are a lot of other stocks given the macroeconomic backdrop). Chris Wright, a member of its Board of Directors, was confirmed as the U.S. Secretary of Energy on February 3, 2025. As a result, Wright has stepped down from Oklo’s Board to assume this critical role in advancing the nation’s energy policies. I can see upside trade heading closer to Q4 earnings March 24. Bullish Technicals: - Rounding Bottom - RSI breaking above RSI MA - MACD: histogram trending up - Moving out of the falling wedge - Just sitting below daily PSAR OKLO's Key Focus Areas: - Microreactors – Oklo’s primary product is the Aurora microreactor, a compact and efficient reactor designed to produce power for remote areas, industrial sites, and off-grid locations. - Fast Reactors – Their reactors use a fast neutron spectrum and liquid metal coolant (like sodium) rather than water, making them more efficient and capable of reusing nuclear waste as fuel. - Fuel Recycling – Oklo aims to use recycled nuclear fuel (like spent fuel from conventional reactors), reducing nuclear waste and increasing fuel efficiency. - Long Lifespan – The Aurora reactor is designed to operate for up to 20 years without refueling, minimizing maintenance and operational costs.

Stocks May Be OversoldThe S&P 500 has been falling swiftly, but it may be considered oversold. The first pattern on today’s chart is Wilder’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) in the lower study. RSI slipped below 30 for the first time since October 2023. That could make some traders think it’s due for a potential bounce. Next, the middle study includes our MA Distance custom script. It shows price dropped the furthest below its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) since October 2022. That may also suggest it’s experienced a healthy pullback. Third is July 5’s last price of 5567, which was the first weekly close in the second half of 2024. It became resistance in early August and support in two subsequent weeks. SPX held that level again yesterday, so it may be reemerging as a meaningful area. If the index manages to stabilize here and rebound, how high might the bounce go? Traders could potentially look to the price zone between January 13's low of 5773 and the March 4 low of 5733. It’s also near the 200-day SMA. Investors with a longer-term view may expect further volatility given the sharpness of the recent drop and the uncertainty caused by tariffs. That may prompt them to eye a deeper low around 5402, where SPX held in early September before breaking out to new highs.
