Regression Trends, Support and ResistanceThe broader Nasdaq Composite Index had a great reversal day, but what comes next? The top 4 market cap players were testing support and resistance lines, indicating indecision on where investors think the market will go. Having one of these make a big move either direction would certainly impact the others and the broader index.
Taking a look at overall market, there is a lot of room to move downward if that's the direction that things take. Even in the shorter term of 1 year, the market is very extended beyond the Regression Trend midpoint. There's plenty of support historically, for the market to take a large correction in the other direction to bring the average growth back to the midpoint. In fact, you can see that as 35y, 5y, 2y regression midpoints converge to nearly the same location.
These regression midpoints aren't perfect, but even adding some +/- error to the locations, it still gives the market a lot of room to move down.
Outcomes could be support near the 1y midpoint where you'd also have 200d support and the pivot point of the previous peak. That would be near a 15% decline.
Beyond that, there is not much support until you get to the bottom of the March crash. So another ~15% drop would be feasible.
2020 already claims 3 of the 20 largest percentage drops in Nasdaq history.
And it's 2020 - it wants to be the best at being the worst!

Market MovesHere is my take on SP500. We are currently seeing the price move to new all-time highs approaching the level of 3393.52 from last February. The question is what will happen next?
A few points:
- The price action is showing a clear bullish layout. The trend analysis does not suggest any change from the current direction.
- If we take a look at similar movements in the past, like the one that took place from September 2018 to May 2019, we can see how the price tends to score a new ATH just before falling back to the 50 days moving average and drop below it for a specular amount.
- The average investor sentiment is overall bearish. Generally, this is a contrarian indicator therefore suggesting that the market will grow.
Taking all of this into consideration we can draw the following conclusions:
At the moment there are more indications of a bullish continuation of the trend in act. I expect the price to reach a new ATH and cause a bullish shift in sentiment which in turn will lead to fear of missing out and a quicker rate of growth. Consequently, a lot of short sellers might be stopped out creating a bullish rush.
This will be the indication of the imminent reversal that should make the price of the index fall about 10%.
I plan on keeping my long positions open until these moves develop. However, I will also increase my SLs to safeguard against a sudden drop.
$TSLA Plays the "Split" Card to Draw in More from Mom and PopTSLA still laughs at us from above that $1300 level. But it's an itch that needs to be scratched -- now lined up with the 50-day and the primary trend line, to boot. But that relief will have to wait a little longer as Elon and the fellas became the second major megacap to hit the "split" button (after AAPL).
Expect a lot more splits this fall now that we are in the first "retail driven" bull market since the 1990's. Who's next? AMZN, GOOG, MSFT, NFLX, BKNG, ISRG...
GOOG/AAPL spread reached all time lows! Correction expected!After AAPL reported strong earning; and announced the 4:1 split, incoming volume has drove share prices to all time highs. Its possible money is flowing out of certain tech(Goog,Nflx,ZM) and into this beast. This move does however look exaggerated. Looking for the spread to test $5 again, at the very least, $4.
TSLA volatility income!This equity has had plenty of time to consolidate at near the physiological support of $1,500. Descending wedge pattern and negative RSI divergence insinuates that a correction to the $1,300 could be seen this week. However, with price action supporting the current level very strong the last 2 weeks; a test to $1,650 is well within the range of possibilities. Regardless, volatility is to be expected. Straddles look objectively cheap with the current IV. Food for thought!
BTC consolidating in minor channel. Looking for retest $12,000!After a slightly less volatile week, BTC has pulled back from testing the $12000 price level. Analysis of Trend lines, RSI and general supply/demand suggest the retest to $12,000 is more likely then not! Looking for price action following this retest for double top formation and possible short entry. Fail
