Nasdaq100
NASDAQ - Daily ready to fall?The NASDAQ has ascended for a second leg and is now poised for a potential deep pullback to test the support zone. This support area aligns with a key weekly level that typically needs to be retested before the index can mount a continued rise. You should keep a close eye on this trend, as it could present a significant opportunity in the coming period.

N1We had quite a few trades in the past week, but we were either too early so we taken out or in too late so we took short profits.
WEEKLY
March we had the peak of price, first time in it's history (18400). When we look left, whenever price peaks it drops for quite a bit before it goes back up. So we can assume we might see 16000 again.
DAILY
We just have an ascending channel within a bullish trend so we can assume that the overall demand is up. The DXY will give us more clues as to what can happen, American countries as well need to be monitored for new IPO's and their financial year results to get more information. This will add to our portfolio of evidence. We can see we are in the correction phase, but because it's so deep we can expect it to go further down for quite some time.
4H
In the bigger correction, we're in a smaller correction. So the assumption is that price is going down. We are not children of the market so the assumption is just that, an assumption not the forecast. We still need more candlestick confirmation and pattern formation before making a final forecast. 17600, is an area of interest as this is where price will do something unless it breaks right through.
1H
We are struggling to break 17800, so we know that it is a strong resistance level. NFP being this week does not mean that we have to trade, it means we need to make informed decisions based on news and reports.
Nasdaq - Shifting back bearish?Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at the Nasdaq.
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
For over a decade the Nasdaq has been trading in a pretty obvious rising channel formation. We saw the last retest of support in 2022 which was followed by an enormous +70% rally towards the upside. Considering that the Nasdaq is now retesting the upper resistance, there is a quite high chance that we will see at least a short term correction lower before the Nasdaq will follow its overall uptrend.

Correction in a larger degree of wave (Bear scenario)Esteemed analysts and traders,
I hope this correspondence finds you in good health and high spirits, prepared to tackle the upcoming week with renewed energy. I extend my best wishes for your continued success in all your business endeavors. It is worth noting that success in trading is largely dependent on the consistent definition and adherence to one's own rules.
As a supporter of the Elliott Wave Principle, I consider this methodology an invaluable tool for market analysis. After three years of personal experience, I have developed my approach by combining this principle with meticulous consideration of different market scenarios. I strive to avoid market surprises by maintaining a range of market prospects, which enables me to recognize the market structure forming with 100% accuracy.
I am pleased to share my analysis with you, with the caveat that I do not provide buy or sell signals. My perspective on idea analysis is entirely impartial, and if my analysis meets your standards, it may serve as a guide to making an informed decision.

Bullish scenario
U.S. Stock indices higher on Bad economic data? 🤔Risk-On Sentiment has taken over the markets today despite bad manufacturing and services data.. and it began yesterday on Nasdaq with the Daily candle closing back above the Daily Level 17,164. Other confluences for the increase on Nasdaq include 1) Jerome Powell's hawkish comments on April 16th.
2) Dollar Index 5 minutes chart : Here we can observe the Risk on sentiment with the data this morning. The dollar Index represents the U.S. dollar of course and puts it againsgt a basket of currecies(4) . Since the USD is a safe haven.. and the dollar index is going down.. this represents money flowing into other asset classes as ivestors see better retruns elsewhere such as Nasdaq (Risk-On U.S. stock index). This is what we would expect to see with bad USD data
3)The Fakeout price action on Monday suggesting Buys today
4) Volatility Index (Vix) 5 minutes chart : We can observe that price decreased during london session and through the not so great USD data release. This means that more investors are buying call options in the S&P500 companies anticpating that the stock indexes will rebound to the upside. This could have been correlated with buying the stock indexes like Nasdaq after it jumped up with the data release this morning.

Nasdaq Analysis: Fibonacci Retracement and RSI DivergenceThe Nasdaq has reached an intriguing point around the 17200 area, where it sits at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from the previous swing low. Price action appears to be responding to this level on lower timeframes, and we've also observed a divergence on the RSI indicator on the H4 timeframe, coinciding with the price attempting to move out of oversold conditions. We are considering a scalp position with a potential take profit at the 38.2% Fibonacci level, and possibly at the Point of Control (POC) Volume for an extended take profit.

The bearish scenario of any corrective pattern and trend continuation
Indices higher with the Vix as Support 🧐Hello traders.. kicking off the week here the stock indices are up alongside the USD strength. We have the vix which sold off dring the london session and this tells us that sentiment is leaning towards risk on as call options are being bought. The Nasdaq is moving up here and we could mirror some of the candles to the left handside that we observed during Friday of last week. We could move up to 17,303 or at least towards there since we have clean traffic on the 1hr chart and 4hr. Oil has continued to selloff as I anticpated and gold has sold off even more denoting some risk-off sentiment from commodities. Bond yields are up slightly denoting some risk on sentiment to begin the week here. The overall trend for yields has been up the last few weeks. It will be important to observe how candles close around 17,164 daily level as this will tell us of impending strength or weakness in Nasdaq. We may retreat towards 17,070 if price cannot sustain around 17,164 daily level.
Nasdaq - Correction already over?Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at the Nasdaq.
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
For more than 10 years the Nasdaq has been trading in a pretty obvious and also profitable rising channel formation. We saw the last retest of support back in 2023 which was followed by a significant rally of +70% towards the upside. As we are speaking the Nasdaq is actually retesting resistance so there is a quite high chance that we will see at least a little more bearish continuation.

Keep your long term vision,

$NDX getting very close to support levels, close to real bounceMakes sense for NASDAQ:NDX to get a bounce here as it is at the 1st Support level after the December breakout & it is Oversold.
NASDAQ:QQQE = Equal Weight #NASDAQ100
Never broke its ATH & it is Oversold on the daily chart.
Weekly charts put it in the middle of the range.
RSI needs to stay here to remain bullish.
$ Flow has slowly waned.
Nasdaq 4h Daily Commentary
"#Nasdaq : On the 4-hour chart, there's a clear indication that the price continues to move downwards. If we are bearish, I expect to see the price fill the liquidity gap and then break the previous low, directing the liquidity in Tue 16 Orderblock. However, if we break the last bearish defense in the chart, it will lead us to anticipate a rally upwards. I will provide daily updates on the 4-hour charts. If you have any questions or something you would like me to include in my analysis tomorrow, please leave it in the comment section below.
Good luck to everyone in their trading endeavors!"
SELL NASDAQAs you can see on the chart,
The market has depleted all the buyers power in the last up move (as shown on the chart) and got overtaken by the sellers.
Now we'll wait for the market to go up to our Selling zone at 17369.62, SL and TP as sat on the chart.
For further questions doon't hesitate to ask!
Nasdaq-100 Index. Meet and Greet March Quarter Earnings Season.US stock indices, including the benchmark American economy S&P500 index (SPX) and US BigTech Nasdaq-100 index (NDX), are retreating from their yearly highs, moving to a more aggressive decline last Friday, April 12.
Investors digest the first portion of earnings reports for March quarter 2024 - traditionally starting with financial sector Earnings reports.
New Earnings season has begun! Perfect!
Well... sounds good. Anyway...
JPMorgan (JPM), Citigroup (C) and Wells Fargo (WFC) reported first-quarter earnings that beat forecasts, but a large number of persistent inflation pressures are still building and continuing.
JPMorgan CEO James "Jamie" Dimon warned that while the stock market is healthy and most economic indicators look favorable, there are still significant risks that could arise at any time.
"Looking ahead, we remain alert to a number of significant uncertain forces. First, the global landscape is troubled, horrific wars and violence continue to cause suffering, and geopolitical tensions are rising. Second, there appear to be a large number of persistent inflationary pressures. Pressure that is likely to continue," - Dimon said on the conference call.
On the inflation front, US import prices rose for the third straight month in March, slightly above the consensus forecast of 0.4% month-on-month. Almost all of the rise in import prices was driven by the recent rise in oil prices.
The fight against inflation - which has transformed into a classic chronic illness from a relatively minor cyclical problem driven by a low Covid-19 base - appears to have reached a stalemate, and the first rate cut will not occur until December, Bank of America (BAC) now says.
Despite the fact that at the beginning of 2024, the market was almost 100% confident that at least one rate cut would take place by the June FOMC meeting, and by the December meeting, the number of rate cuts could reach three.
Monetary easing by June is looking more and more like an unattainable dream, tempered by the latest data.
Recent inflation data, while in line with expectations, doesn't give the Federal Reserve much reason to rush.
But if the central bank doesn't cut rates by June, it will likely delay any cuts until March 2025, Bank of America strategists said.
In reality, long-term forecasting of the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy curve is not an easy task, given that only forecasts for the next FOMC meeting, which is scheduled for May 1, and for which the market does not factor in a change in interest rates, can be relatively reliable.
Of much greater significance is that the same arguments and theses that are presented in the reports of the largest American banks - the locomotive of the American economy - may find their repetition or imitation in Earnings reports for Q1'2024 of dozens and hundreds of other companies over the next two-three months.
Technically, the main chart of the Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX) featured in the idea is in a long-term positive trend of a weakly rising channel, above its 5-year SMA.
At the same time, taking into account the possibility of escalation of macroeconomic and political risks, one cannot exclude the prospect of its decline to the lower border of the channel - down to the levels of 12,500 - 13,000 points.
Also lets take into account the fact that the entire 10-12 percent Nasdaq-100 increase from Q4'21 highs to nowadays can be easily represented as the transposition of a 200% increase in the shares of only one company - Nvidia (with its near 6% allocation in the index), - which increased in price from $320 to over $960 per share over the same period of time - from Q4'21 by Q1'24.
👀 Three Black Crows. Bear Market Candlestick PatternThree Black Crows is a term used to describe a bearish candlestick pattern that can predict a reversal in an uptrend.
Classic candlestick charts show "Open", "High", "Low" and "Close" prices of a bar for a particular security. For markets moving up, the candlestick is usually white, green or blue. When moving lower they are black or red.
The Three Black Crows pattern consists of three consecutive long-body candles that opened with a gap above or inside the real body of the previous candle, but ultimately closed lower than the previous candle. Often traders use this indicator in combination with other technical indicators or chart patterns to confirm a reversal.
Key points
👉 Three Black Crows is a Bearish candlestick pattern used to predict a reversal to a current uptrend, used along with other technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
👉 The size of the Three black crow candles, timeframe they appeared on, the gaps when they opened, the downward progression sequence, as well as their shadows can be used to judge whether there is a risk of a pullback on a reversal.
👉 The “Three Black Crows” pattern should be considered finally formed after the sequential closure of all three elements included in it.
👉 The opposite pattern of three black crows is three white soldiers, which indicates a reversal of the downward trend. But maybe more about that another time.
Explanation of the Three Black Crows pattern
Three Black Crows is a visual pattern, which means there is no need to worry about any special calculations when identifying this indicator. The Three Black Crows pattern occurs when the bears outperform the bulls over three consecutive trading bars. The pattern appears on price charts as three bearish long candles with or without short shadows or wicks.
In a typical Three Black Crows appearance, bulls start the time frame with the opening price or gap up, that is, even slightly higher than the previous close, but throughout the time frame the price declines to eventually close below the previous time frame's close.
This trading action will result in a very short or no shadow. Traders often interpret this downward pressure, which lasted across three time frames, as the start of a bearish downtrend.
Example of using Three black crows
As a visual pattern, it is best to use the Three Black Crows as a sign to seek confirmation from other technical indicators. The Three Black Crows pattern and the confidence a trader can put into it depends largely on how well the pattern is formed.
Three Black Crows should ideally be relatively long bearish candles that close at or near the lowest price for the period. In other words, candles should have long real bodies and short or non-existent shadows. If the shadows are stretching, it may simply indicate a slight change in momentum between bulls and bears before the uptrend reasserts itself.
Using trading volume data can make the drawing of the Three Black Crows pattern more accurate. The volume of the last bar during an uptrend leading to the pattern is relatively lower in typical conditions, while the Three Black Crows pattern has relatively high volume in each element of the group.
In this scenario, as in our case, the uptrend was established by a small group of bulls and then reversed by a larger group of bears.
Of course, this could also mean that a large number of small bullish trades collide with an equal or smaller group of high volume bearish trades. However, the actual number of market participants and trades is less important than the final volume that was ultimately recorded during the time frame.
Restrictions on the use of three black crows
If the "Three Black Crows" pattern has already shown significant downward movement, it makes sense to be wary of oversold conditions that could lead to consolidation or a pullback before further downward movement. The best way to assess whether a stock or other asset is oversold is to look at other technical indicators, such as relative strength index (RSI), moving averages, trend lines, or horizontal support and resistance levels.
Many traders typically look to other independent chart patterns or technical indicators to confirm a breakout rather than relying solely on the Three Black Crows pattern.
Overall, it is open to some free interpretation by traders. For example, when assessing the prospects of building a pattern into a longer continuous series consisting of “black crows” or the prospects of a possible rollback.
In addition, other indicators reflect the true pattern of the three black crows. For example, a Three Black Crows pattern may involve a breakout of key support levels, which can independently predict the start of a medium-term downtrend. Using additional patterns and indicators increases the likelihood of a successful trading or exit strategy.
Real example of Three black crows
Since there are a little more than one day left before the closing of the third candle in the combination, the candlestick combination (given in the idea) is a still forming pattern, where (i) each of the three black candles opened above the closing price of the previous one, that is, with a small upward gap, (ii ) further - by the end of the time frame the price decreases below the price at close of the previous time frame, (iii) volumes are increased relative to the last bullish time frame that preceded the appearance of the first of the “three crows”, (iv) the upper and lower wicks of all “black crows” are relatively short and comparable with the main body of the candle.
Historical examples of the Three Black Crows pattern
In unfavorable macroeconomic conditions, the Three Black Crows pattern is generally quite common.
The weekly chart of the S&P500 Index (SPX) below, in particular, shows the occurrence of the pattern in the period starting in January 2022 and in the next 15 months until April 2023 (all crows combinations counted at least from 1-Month High).
As it easy to notice, in each of these cases (marked on the graph below) after the candlestick pattern appeared, the price (after possible consolidations and rollbacks) tended to lower levels, or in any case, sellers sought to repeat the closing price of the last bar in series of the Three Black Crows candlestick pattern.
Bottom Line
👉 As well as in usage of all other technical analysis indicators, it is important to confirm or refute its results using other indicators and analysis of general market conditions.
👉 Does History repeat itself? - Partially, yes.. it does. This is all because financial markets (as well as life) is not an Endless Rainbow, and after lovely sunny days, earlier or later, dark clouds may appear again, and again.
Nasdaq and Indices Lower on Middle East conflictNasdaq keeps pushing bearish as the stock indices struggle to deal with rising tensions and conflict in the middle east. The Monthly/Weekly timeframes .. everything is bearish. As we head into the close of the week I'm anticpating a further push bearish. The previous 4hr candle closed a shooting star candle.. this coincided with the 1hr timeframe rejecting a 1hr resistance zone,17,397. The market dropped and really disliked the Israel strikes from 12 hours ago. We have bearish momentum , anticpating a retest of daily support level 17,164. The weekly candle will likely keep pulling down to finish off the candle. Vix volatility index gapped way up overnight due to war conflicts and this signals more puts being bought and therefore more anticpated downside on the Indices.
$NDX in oversold territory, support levels & major moving avgThe NASDAQ:NDX , Nasdaq 100, is at a support level on the daily chart, left.
The 4Hr chart shows it is almost at the 320Moving avg, left.
Being that there's support & the intraday is at a Major Moving Avg, we'll likely get some sort of bounce around here.
The index is also oversold daily & intraday.
NASDAQ:QQQ NASDAQ:TQQQ NASDAQ:SQQQ
NAS100We were triggered and stopped out but we did fair.
DAILY
Kept falling and dragging down and tested around the support level, 17070 around here. We have a test candle which shows that our test level was correct.
4H
Price is testing again (in correction) so we stay waiting and watching for either the break (impulsively) or the reversal impulsively. This is where we will get more information to lay forward our case.
1H
Reject before 17500 is where we would believe that our correction has ended, break through here means we wait even more.
