QQQ - Dip buyers are about to catch a falling knifeYesterday, our price targets of 305 USD and 300 USD were reached. After that, the relief rally began, and QQQ erased some of its earlier losses. However, we expect the bounce in the QQQ to be short-lived. Accordingly, we remain bearish on QQQ and expect it to continue lower after the rally ceases; small time frames suggest this thesis as they slowly start to reflect overbought conditions. Therefore, our new short-term price target is 295 USD; the new medium-term price target is 290 USD (due to become a short-term price target once 295 USD is taken out). Illustration 1.01 The picture above shows QQQ on the daily chart in pre-market on 10th May 2022. The downward sloping trendline acts as resistance. Technical analysis - daily time frame RSIs bearish structure remains intact. MACD and Stochastic remain bearish. The same applies to DM+ and DM-. Overall, the daily time frame is bearish. Illustration 1.02 Illustration 1.02 shows that the weekly volume continues to increase, which is bearish. Technical analysis - weekly time frame RSI, MACD, and Stochastic are bearish.

Bitcoin & Nasdaq VS DollarAs stated in my earlier post , Bitcoin is entering the buy zone. This time, I would like to provide some additional insight on Nasdaq composite index and US Dollar currency index. Nasdaq, while definitely not looking bullish, is already in a state of preparation for a short term bounce. How high it might go? I would say at least around 12.5k. On the other hand, the U.S. dollar currency index (DXY) is overheated and its meteoric rise is losing momentum. It looks like it's destined for a correction (at least short term). How deep? At least between 101 and 102. Please keep in mind that I'm using the weekly chart, so these moves might take 1-2 weeks to materialize. In a normal market I would be close to sure about the provided forecast, but since most markets are being affected by external factors lately, I am somewhat cautious - therefore my stance is neutral to cautiously short term bullish.

Daily Market Update for 5/6Summary: The market continued to correct as the US Dollar strengthened and Treasury yields rose on Friday. Defensive sectors in the S&P 500 gained while other sectors sank. Notes A brief update today due to holidays and travel. I will be traveling for the next week as well but will try to keep the Daily Market Update going. Ideas always welcome in the comments. Errors will be amended as comments on TradingView or corrected inline in my blog. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Friday, May 6, 2022 Facts: -1.40%, Volume higher, Closing Range: 42%, Body: 28% Red Good: Closing range is ok Bad: Lower high, lower low, higher volume sell-off Highs/Lows: Lower high, Lower low Candle: Thin body in middle of long upper and lower wicks Advance/Decline: 0.27, almost four declining stocks for every advancing stock Indexes: SPX (-0.57%), DJI (-0.30%), RUT (-1.69%), VIX (-3.24%) Sector List: Energy (XLE +2.98%) and Utilities (XLU +0.80%) at the top.

Some analysts have forecasted 12,000 as the bottom during this correction, but time and the market will tell if that's true. The 40w EMA is at 11,750.07. The index dipped below this line only in the 2000, 2008, and 2020 crashes. If the index returns to the trend line from the 3/29 high, that would mean a +0.66% gain for Monday. The one-day and five-day trend lines point to a -0.67% decline. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Wrap-up Analysts have been waiting for broad market capitulation and maybe we've seen some over the past two days, or maybe there is more to come. Watch the two levels at 12,000 and 11,750. If those levels hold, then we could see some upside from there. Stay healthy and trade safe!

The Nasdaq plummeted by -4.99%. Volume was lower than the previous day. The candle has no upper wick, a 78% red body, and a 22% closing range. There were over 6 declining stocks for every advancing stock. The Russell 2000 (RUT) fell by -4.04%. The S&P 500 (SPX) declined by -3.56%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) declined by -3.12%. The VIX Volatility Index shot up by +22.74%. All eleven S&P 500 sectors declined. Utilities (XLU -1.02%) and Energy (XLE -1.50%) were at the top of the list. Technology (XLK -4.81%) and Consumer Discretionary (XLY -5.60%) had the worst declines. The weekly Initial Jobless Claims rose to 200,000 this week, topping the forecast of 182,000. Nonfarm Productivity for Q1 dropped more than expected, receding by -7.5%. Unit Labor Costs for Q1 rose more than expected, rising by 11.6% instead of the 9.9% forecast. After dipping yesterday, the US Dollar Index (DXY) jumped back to recent highs, gaining +1.01% today. US 30y, 10y, and 2y Treasury Yields all rose. High Yield (HYG) and Investment Grade (LQD) Corporate Bond prices declined. Brent Oil reached again $110 a barrel. The put/call ratio (PCCE) rose to 0.881. The CNN Fear & Greed index moved back toward Extreme Fear but is still in the Fear range. The NAAIM Money Manager Exposure Index rose to 57.18 from 46.25 the previous week. All of the big six mega-caps had huge losses. Tesla (TSLA) led the declines with a -8.33% drop today. Only Meta (FB) held above the 21d EMA and 50d MA lines, despite a -6.77% decline today. Only one stock in the Daily Update Growth List gained. Twitter (TWTR) rose by +2.65% as more financial support came for Elon Musk's purchase of the company. More than ten stocks on the list declined by more than 10%. Fastly (FSLY) ended up at the bottom of the list with a -18.09% decline. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Looking ahead Tomorrow is Jobs Data Friday. Nonfarm Payrolls, the Unemployment Rate, and other jobs-related metrics will be released prior to the market opening. Four Fed officials are scheduled to speak throughout the day. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Trends, Support, and Resistance The Nasdaq reached the 13,000 support/resistance area yesterday but was rejected and sent tumbling today. If the index returns to the five-day trend line, that would mean a +0.88% gain for tomorrow. The trend line from the 3/29 high points to a -1.45% decline for tomorrow. If the one-day trend line continues into Friday, that would mean a -3.62% decline. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Wrap-up What a wild ride from yesterday's late afternoon rally to today's dramatic sell-off. It's unclear what drove yesterday's rally vs today's reposition. Could it be yesterday's relief over a 50 basis point increase vs the fear 75 basis point increase that drove the rally? And then as the additional two increases announced for June and July sank in, that drove today's decline? I don't know. Someone much smarter than me is making those decisions somewhere. Let's see if we get a rebound on Friday or if the pain continues. Stay healthy and trade safe!

Nasdaq Composite: sell the rumor, BUY the news! The investors have been panicking about rate hike, Russian war, oil price, inflation and recession for a couple of months. Recently the traditional 'collapse after rate hike' has become 'panic before rate hike, rally after rate hike'. This is because the fed has been more communicative about the rate hike, and the market is full of investors who try to be the fastest and often overreact. The bond market has shown some investors are expecting a 75 bps rate hike instead of 50 or 25 bps. This assumption is obviously ridiculous, so the investors became extremely relieved and excited after 4 May 2022 at the news of the 50 bps rate hike. The recession panic is also fading as investors realise the American economy remains strong and the Russian war or Chinese lockdown is not the end of world. This relief, coupled with the inflow of bargain hunters will send IXIC to the 0.618 resistance of 14680 and 0.786 resistance of 15354, in a matter of weeks. Then IXIC will probably consolidate between 14680 and 16212 for a while, and collapse again in September. Investors consider October as the worst month because they can't forget the disasters of October in 1929 and 2008. Therefore they tend to sell in September to avoid the perceived October disaster, making September an actually worse month than October. This pattern will combine with another wave of recession panic about rate hike and quantitative tightening, making September, October and possibly the first three and half weeks of November the bearish months of 2022. The long term trend remains strongly bullish as I have stated multiple times since 2019, so every major correction is an excellent opportunity to buy at discount.

Daily Market Update for 5/4Summary: Jerome Powell gave unexpected but specific guidance on not only today's interest rate hikes, but also the next two. In addition, the specifics around reducing the balance sheet helped squash the fear that the Fed would move too fast. Notes Ideas always welcome in the comments. Errors will be amended as comments on TradingView or corrected inline in my blog. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Wednesday, May 4, 2022 Facts: +3.19%, Volume higher, Closing Range: 97%, Body: 63% Green Good: Gain on higher volume, strong afternoon rally with 97% closing range Bad: Lower low Highs/Lows: Higher high, Lower low Candle: Outside day, thick green body over a long lower wick, tiny upper wick Advance/Decline: Indexes: SPX (+2.99%), DJI (+2.81%), RUT (+2.69%), VIX (-13.09%) Sector List: Energy (XLE +4.15%) and Technology (XLK +3.51%) at the top.

Expectation: -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Market Overview Jerome Powell gave unexpected but specific guidance on not only today's interest rate hikes, but also the next two. In addition, the specifics around reducing the balance sheet helped squash the fear that the Fed would move too fast. The Nasdaq responded with a late-day rally that helped it close with a +3.19% gain. The intraday swing was a huge 5% from low to high. Volume was much higher than the previous day. The candle has a lower low and a higher high, making for an outside day. The closing range of 97% is above a 63% green body. There were two advancing stocks for every declining stock. The S&P 500 followed the Nasdaq with a +2.99% gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) rose by +2.81%. The Russell 2000 (RUT) climbed by +2.69%. The VIX Volatility index dropped by -13.09%, although still remains elevated. All eleven S&P 500 sectors gained today. Energy (XLE +4.15%) and Technology (XLK +3.51%) were the best two sectors. Health (XLV +2.22%) and Real Estate (XLRE +1.18%) were at the bottom of the sector list. The ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI for April came in lower than expected at 57.1 compared to the 58.5 forecasts. However the Markit Services PMI and Composite PMI both beat expectations. The biggest news though was the Fed's decision to raise interest rates by 50 basis points to 1.0% and also stated the next two increases would be 50 basis points, not the 75 basis points feared by some analysts. The US Dollar Index (DXY) dropped -0.91%. The US 30y Treasury Yield gained while the 10y and 2y Treasury Yields declined. The gap between long and short-term yields widened. High Yield (HYG) and Investment Grade (LQD) Corporate Bond prices rose. Silver and Gold rose, thanks to the US Dollar's weakening. Brent Oil is at $109 a barrel after Europe proposed cutting off Russian oil. The put/call ratio (PCCE) rose to 0.857. The CNN Fear & Greed index moved toward Neutral but remained in the Fear region. All of the big six mega-caps rose today. Meta (FB) topped the group with a +5.37% gain. Apple (AAPL) and Meta closed above their 21d EMA and 50d MA. Microsoft (MSFT) moved above its 21d EMA while Tesla (TSLA) closed above its 50d MA. The big six led the mega-cap list with Facebook, Tesla, Alphabet (GOOG), and Apple (AAPL) making up the top four. AstraZeneca (AZN) was the only declining stock in the list. The Daily Update Growth List closed almost entirely in the green. PayCom (PAYC) topped the list with a +13.78% gain. The only declining stock in the list was RH (RH) which lost -1.46%. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Looking ahead Tomorrow we will get the weekly Initial Jobless Claims data before the market opens. We will also get Nonfarm Productivity and Unit Labor Costs for Q1. Shell (SHEL), ConocoPhillips (COP), Block (SQ), Shopify (SHOP), MercadoLibre (MELI), DataDog (DDOG), Lucid (LCID), Cloudflare (NET), DoorDash (DASH), and Zillow (Z) are among the earnings reports for Thursday. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Trends, Support, and Resistance The Nasdaq moved back toward the 13,000 support/resistance area and stopped just short of that mark. Will it prove as resistance again or can the index move past the line and top the 21d EMA? If the one-day trend line continues into Thursday, that would mean a +3.26% gain, rising above the 21d EMA and stopping short of the 50d MA. If the index returns to the five-day trend line, that would mean a -3.78% decline. A drop to the trend line from the 3/29 high would mean a -5.83% decline. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Wrap-up The afternoon rally felt good. Investors' confidence grew thanks to very specific guidance from the Fed on current and future interest rates and the balance sheet reduction. Forecasting with such specificity is not common for the Fed and shows how careful they are being to not create a recession. The next few days will be an important signal for equities. If the rally sticks, we should see a few days of gains on elevated volume and breath across the market with an advance/decline ratio over 1.0. Then some consolidation might begin late on Friday or early next week before the next move up. Stay healthy and trade safe!

There was a nearly equal number of advancing and declining stocks. The Russell 2000 (RUT) gained +1.01%. The S&P 500 (SPX) rose by +0.57%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced by +0.26%. The VIX Volatility Index fell by -3.17%. Six of the eleven S&P 500 sectors gained today. Communications (XLC +2.76%) and Energy (XLE +1.60%) topped the sector list while Consumer Staples (XLP -1.31%) and Real Estate (XLRE -2.60%) were at the bottom. Purchasing Manager Index data released in the morning showed a contraction in manufacturing activity which echoed data coming from China. The US Dollar Index (DXY) gained +0.38% today, moving back toward recent highs. The US 30y Treasury Yield topped 3% for the first time since 2019. The 10y and 2y Treasury Yields also rose today. High Yield (HYG) and Investment Grade (LQD) Corporate Bond prices were lower. Silver and Gold continue to sink, credit to the strengthening dollar. Brent Oil is at $107 per barrel. The put/call ratio (PCCE) declined to 1.03, remaining in a bearish range. The CNN Fear & Greed index remains deep in the Fear range. All of the big six mega-caps gained today. Meta (FB) led the gains with a +5.32% advance. Amazon (AMZN) just barely closed with a gain, rising +0.18% for the day after dipping nearly 5% earlier in the session. Meta and Nvidia (NVDA) both gained +5.32% to top the mega-cap list. PepsiCo (PEP) was at the bottom of the list with a -2.30% decline. All but two stocks in the Daily Update Growth List gained today, most advancing more than 4%. Roku (ROKU) was the top gainer with a +11.01% advance. DataDog (DDOG) and Niu Tech (NIU) were the two decliners, dropping by -0.48% and -1.05%, respectively. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Looking ahead The big news this week be on Wednesday with the Fed interest rate decision. For tomorrow, we will get Factory Orders and the JOLTs Job Openings report for March. In the afternoon, the weekly API Crude Oil Stock report will arrive. Pfizer (PFE), AMD (AMD), Airbnb (ABNB), Starbucks (SBUX), and Hilton (HLT) are among the earning reports for Tuesday. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Trends, Support, and Resistance The late session rally wasn't enough to move the one-day regression trend line to an uptrend. The one-day and five-day trend lines and the trend line from the 3/29 high are pointing to a -1.52% decline for Tuesday. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Wrap-up I'm not sure the rally in the late afternoon today means much. The put/call ratio is still high. So as some investors turned bullish, there are still plenty of investors that are betting on further declines. There's not much to go on for expectations on Tuesday, but we can probably look forward to more choppiness as investors prepare for Wednesday's Fed decisions. Stay healthy and trade safe!

Daily Market Update for 4/28Summary: Strong earnings from big tech helped boost the stock market on Thursday, led by Meta, PayPal and Qualcomm. Notes Ideas always welcome in the comments. Errors will be amended as comments on TradingView or corrected inline in my blog. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Thursday, April 28, 2022 Facts: +3.06%, Volume higher, Closing Range: 83%, Body: 34% Green Good: Gain on higher volume, long lower wick shows bullish reversal Bad: Nothing Highs/Lows: Higher high, Higher low Candle: Green body above long lower wick, short upper wick Advance/Decline: 1.26, more advancing than declining stocks Indexes: SPX (+2.47%), DJI (+1.85%), RUT (+1.80%), VIX (-5.09%) Sector List: Technology (XLK +4.00%) and Communications (XLC +4.00%) at the top. Industrials (XLI +1.13%) and Utilities (XLU +1.11%) at the bottom. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Market Overview Strong earnings from big tech helped boost the stock market on Thursday, led by Meta, PayPal and Qualcomm. The tech-heavy Nasdaq soared +3.06% on higher volume than the previous day. The 34% green body sits above a long lower wick showing a bullish reversal to the upside mid-day. The closing range of 83% comes after a little profit taking at the end of the day. There were more advancing stocks than declining stocks. All indexes had great days. The S&P 500 (SPX) rose by +2.47%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) climbed by +1.85%. And the Russell 2000 (RUT) gained +1.80%. The VIX Volatility Index remains elevated, but declined by -5.09% today. All S&P 500 sectors gained. Technology (XLK +4.00%) and Communications (XLC +4.00%) tied for the top spot on the sector list. Industrials (XLI +1.13%) and Utilities (XLU +1.11%) were at the bottom. The morning dip was probably due to economic data that showed the economy shrinking in the first quarter despite higher prices. The combination is a recipe for stagflation, one of the biggest market evils. Initial Jobless Claims hit the forecast exactly at 180,000 for last week. The US Dollar just won't quit. The US Dollar index (DXY) rose by another +0.65% today. US 30y and 10y Treasury Yields declined while the 2y Yield rose slightly. High Yield (HYG) and Investment Grade (LQD) Corporate Bond prices tracked higher with Treasuries. Brent Oil rose to $107 a barrel. The put/call ratio (PCCE) lowered slightly to 0.935. The CNN Fear & Greed index landed in the middle of the fear range. The NAAIM money manager exposure index dropped to 46.25. There were big gains for the big six. Meta (FB) rose +17.59% despite mixed results. The surprise came in unexpected user growth. Microsoft (MSFT) continued it post-earnings gains with a +2.26% advance today. Alphabet (GOOG) rebounded a bit from yesterday's loss, advancing by +3.82% today. Apple (AAPL) and Amazon(AMZN) both gained over 4% ahead of their earnings releases in the evening. Both were down in extended hours trading. Apple beat expectations but provided a cautious outlook for Q3 due to the impact of shutdowns in China. Amazon disappointed on results as the surge in consumer online spending during the pandemic is tapering off. Meta was the top mega-cap, followed by Nvidia (NVDA) which gained +7.42%, likely thanks to Qualcomm's performance. Novo Nordisk (NVO) fell by -1.23% to end at the bottom of the mega-cap list which had only four declining stocks. On the Daily Update Growth List, it was Pinterest (PINS), Upwork (UPWK) ,and PayPal (PYPL) that soared on earnings results, all rising more than 10%. Pinterest topped the list with a +13.55% gain. Four stocks ended up with losses at the bottom of the list. Ehang Holdings (EH) had the biggest decline, losing -1.38% today. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Looking ahead PCE Price Index Data for March will be released tomorrow morning. We will also get the Chicago PMI and Michigan Consumer Sentiment and Consumer Expectations numbers for April. Exxon Mobil (XOM) both Chevron (CVX) report earnings in the morning. AbbVie (ABBV) and Honeywell (HON) are also notable reports for Friday. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Trends, Support, and Resistance After a dip in the morning, the Nasdaq headed back toward the 13,000 support/resistance area, stopping short of 13,000 before a bit of profit taking before the close. That action created a one-day trend line that points to a +4.36% advance for Friday. The index is unlikely to rise that much in one day, especially given Amazon will most certainly decline. If sentiment turns bearish and the index returns to the five-day trend, that would meet up with the trend line from the 3/29 high and mean a -2.82% decline to end the week. -=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=-=x=- Wrap-up Something like 40% of Nasdaq companies reported earnings this week. Overall earnings continue to show strong performance from public companies across sectors and sizes. Leaders are cautious about the next few quarters which will continue to make investors cautious. Tomorrow could be a good signal of just how investors feel after taking the whole week of reports in view. Stay healthy and trade safe!
