Weekly and Monday analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed lower as the market digested the Employment Trends Index (ETI) report. On the weekly chart, a sell signal is in play, yet the index remains within a range-bound structure. Until it reclaims the 5-week moving average, any upside move could still face rejection. On the daily chart, the MACD has not yet crossed below the signal line, meaning the buy signal remains intact. A critical moment is approaching: will the index break below the 20-day and 60-day moving average golden cross, or will it regain bullish momentum? If a daily sell signal emerges, downside targets extend toward 20,940, where the Bollinger Band lower boundary and 120-day moving average converge. Although a gap-down occurred today, as long as the daily buy signal holds, traders should approach this market with a range-bound mindset rather than assuming a strong breakdown. On the 240-minute chart, the index encountered resistance at the upper range boundary. A bearish engulfing candle triggered a sell signal, but since both the MACD and Signal line remain above the zero line, this still suggests a range-bound market. Buying dips and selling rallies remain the most effective strategy. Market volatility is increasing following Trump’s announcement of reciprocal tariffs on most countries. Additionally, Wednesday’s U.S. CPI release could be a major catalyst—keep it in mind when positioning. Crude Oil Crude oil closed higher, bouncing off support on the daily chart. The weekly chart shows strong support at the 20-week moving average, making further downside moves challenging. The $70–71 zone remains an attractive buy area, and with the weekly buy signal still intact, traders should avoid aggressive short-selling. On the daily chart, oil has yet to reclaim the 5-day moving average, and the MACD remains below the zero line, while the Signal line is still above it, indicating a mixed market structure. Given the potential for a bullish MACD crossover, long positions remain more favorable. The ideal price action scenario would involve a push to the 10-day moving average, a pullback to retest the $70–71 range, and then a double-bottom formation, leading to a strong upside breakout. On the 240-minute chart, a buy signal has re-emerged, suggesting a short-term bottom formation. Additionally, MACD bullish divergence is forming, reinforcing the bullish case. Selling into weakness should be avoided, while buying dips remains the preferred strategy. Gold Gold closed higher but formed a long upper wick, indicating selling pressure at the highs. On the weekly chart, gold is trading above the Bollinger Band upper boundary, placing it in overbought territory. At the start of the week, traders should avoid chasing highs and instead focus on buying pullbacks at key support levels. If gold continues to extend gains, shorting near the highs could be an option. However, volatility is expected to increase due to key data releases: Wednesday: U.S. CPI Thursday: U.S. PPI On the daily chart, the long wick suggests that gold may enter a consolidation phase around 2,900. If the 5-day moving average is lost, a 10-day moving average pullback could set up a range-bound structure. The MACD is in the process of narrowing toward the signal line, indicating that a corrective phase may occur this week. Buying pullbacks remains the preferred approach. On the 240-minute chart, gold has broken above previous highs, but the MACD is declining, signaling bearish divergence. Now that a sell signal has emerged, the MACD is shifting lower. In the short term, selling rallies remains more favorable, while long positions should only be considered near strong demand zones. Given the CPI release on Wednesday, gold may remain range-bound until then. Stay cautious, and trade within the range. ■Trading Strategies for Today Nasdaq - Bullish Market -Buy Levels: 21550 / 21470 / 21420 / 21340 / 21220 -Sell Levels: 21680 / 21715 / 21800 / 21900 Crude Oil - Range-Bound Market -Buy Levels: 70.70 / 70.30 / 69.80 / 69.20 -Sell Levels: 71.30 / 71.80 / 72.50 Gold - Bullish Market -Buy Levels: 2885 / 2878 / 2873 / 2862 / 2856 -Sell Levels: 2906 / 2917 / 2926 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

Breaking: Doximity Stock Jumps 37% On Upbeat Annual OutlookDoximity Inc. (NASDAQ: DOCS), the leading digital platform for U.S. medical professionals, has made headlines with its stock skyrocketing 37% following a stellar earnings report and an upbeat annual outlook. The company’s third-quarter fiscal 2025 results not only surpassed analyst expectations but also showcased robust growth in key areas, including AI tools and user engagement. Strong Earnings and Upbeat Guidance Doximity’s latest earnings report has solidified its position as a growth powerhouse in the healthcare technology sector. Here are the key highlights: 1. Record Revenue and Earnings Growth - Revenue: $168.6 million, up 25% year-over-year, beating consensus estimates of $152.82 million. - Earnings Per Share (EPS): Adjusted EPS of $0.45, a significant jump from $0.29 a year ago and well above the $0.34 consensus. - Net Income: $75.2 million, up 57% year-over-year, reflecting strong profitability. 2. AI Tools and User Engagement Driving Growth Doximity’s AI-powered tools saw a 60% quarter-over-quarter increase in usage, while its newsfeed surpassed one million unique providers. This demonstrates the platform’s ability to innovate and retain user engagement, which is critical for long-term growth. 3. Raised Guidance for Fiscal 2025 The company raised its revenue guidance to $564.6 million—$565.6 million, up from the previous range of $535 million—$540 million. Adjusted EBITDA guidance was also increased to $306.6 million—$307.6 million, signaling confidence in continued profitability and operational efficiency. 4. Analyst Optimism Analysts have responded positively to Doximity’s performance: - Needham: Raised price target from $65 to $82, maintaining a Buy rating. - Wells Fargo: Increased price target from $43 to $55, maintaining an Equal-Weight rating. - Raymond James: Raised price target from $65 to $83, reiterating an Outperform rating. These upward revisions reflect growing confidence in Doximity’s ability to sustain its momentum. Technical Analysis: From a technical perspective, NYSE:DOCS is exhibiting a classic gap-up pattern, with shares up 35.68% at the time of writing. Here’s what the charts are telling us: 1. Gap-Up Pattern The gap-up indicates a surge in buying interest following the earnings announcement. While this is a bullish signal, gaps are often filled in the long run, meaning the stock could retrace some of its gains before continuing its upward trajectory. 2. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 86, well above the overbought threshold of 70. This suggests that the stock may be due for a short-term pullback or consolidation as traders take profits. 3. Despite overbought conditions, the stock’s momentum remains strong. Key support levels to watch include the pre-gap price zone around $61. A pullback to this area could present a buying opportunity for investors looking to enter at a lower price. Why Doximity Stands Out Doximity’s success is rooted in its ability to address critical needs in the healthcare industry. Its digital platform streamlines communication and workflow for medical professionals, while its AI tools enhance efficiency and decision-making. With over 610,000 unique providers using its clinical workflow tools, Doximity has established itself as an indispensable resource for healthcare professionals. A Strong Buy with Caution Doximity’s impressive earnings report and raised guidance have rightfully propelled its stock to new heights. From a fundamental perspective, the company’s growth trajectory, driven by AI innovation and user engagement, is compelling. Technically, while the stock is overbought in the short term, the long-term outlook remains bullish.

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed slightly higher with low volatility. As mentioned yesterday, the daily chart shows that the index is holding support at the 3-day moving average, while the MACD remains in an upward buy trend. However, resistance is evident along the upper trendline connecting previous highs. Today, a pullback toward the 5-day moving average should be considered, and the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) report will be a key catalyst in determining whether the uptrend continues. On the 240-minute chart, both the MACD and Signal line remain above the zero line, suggesting a consolidation phase that could gradually lift moving averages before another bullish wave emerges. Overall, a buy-on-dip approach remains favorable, particularly if a pre-market pullback toward the 5-day MA occurs. However, given the potential for increased volatility from today's data release, risk management is crucial. Crude Oil Crude oil closed lower after facing resistance at the 3-day moving average. However, downside support remains strong, making further declines difficult, which favors buy-side positioning. Since oil has now tested the 3-day MA, today’s strategy should focus on selling near the 5-day MA if a rally occurs. Both long and short positions should factor in weekly closing dynamics, as weekend geopolitical risks may lead to gap openings on Monday. On the 240-minute chart, oil remains in a downward trend, but signs of base formation are emerging. The MACD is nearing a potential golden cross, so traders should watch closely for a momentum shift. Additionally, geopolitical risks are increasing, with Trump tightening sanctions on Iran, adding to oil market volatility. Given these conditions, buying dips remains the preferred approach, but risk management is essential. Gold Gold closed lower, facing a sharp pullback after reaching the psychological level of 2900. The deep retracement suggests profit-taking at key resistance levels. Despite this correction, the daily chart still maintains a buy trend, and as long as gold holds above the 10-day moving average on a closing basis, the overall bullish bias remains intact. However, given that the MACD is completing its third bullish wave, a consolidation phase is likely as the MACD and Signal line begin to narrow. For now, buyers should focus on entering at lower levels to optimize risk-reward. On the 240-minute chart, a sell signal has emerged, leading to the current pullback. However, the MACD and Signal line are significantly below the zero line, meaning that despite the downtrend, buying interest could emerge on any further dips. This structure reduces the appeal of chasing short positions. Today's Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) report is a major risk event, known for triggering extreme volatility in gold. As one of the most critical economic indicators for gold traders, managing exposure ahead of the release is crucial. Expect range-bound price action before the report, with a potential breakout afterward. Stay disciplined and manage risk carefully, as today’s NFP release will drive market volatility. Wishing you a successful trading day! 🚀 ■Trading Strategies for Today Nasdaq - Bullish Market -Buy Levels: 21820 / 21750 / 21710 / 21625 / 21510 -Sell Levels: 21870 / 21930 / 22010 / 22070 / 22135 Crude Oil - Range-bound Market -Buy Levels: 70.20 / 69.80 / 69.20 / 68.30 -Sell Levels: 71.30 / 71.80 / 72.20 / 72.70 GOLD - Bullish Market -Buy Levels: 2876 / 2871 / 2862 / 2855 -Sell Levels: 2885 / 2892 / 2896 / 2902 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

GOOGLE: Historic profits!! What is the reason for the fall?GOOGLE has been falling on the stock market since late yesterday, after presenting its results with the market already closed. Google's parent company achieved a historic profit of more than 100 billion dollars and revenues for the entire year of 350 billion. However, its shares are dyed red in the pre-opening. --> What is the reason for the fall? One possible cause would be that the fourth quarter revenues did not reach what was expected, which see in these numbers a sign that Google's parent company was being affected by the increase in competition in the digital advertising market and the slowdown of its cloud computing business. A second reason is that Google surpassed historic highs days ago and it could be a MANIPULATION and PROFIT-TAKING movement by some FUNDS taking advantage of the volatility of the value to present results. In any case, the results ARE GOOD and the TECHNICAL ASPECT is good, so if nothing strange happens, the trend in Google will continue to be bullish. --> What technical aspect does it have now after the -7% fall? If we look at the graph, the technical aspect is still clearly bullish (Bull). In addition, it did not lose any of its main supports, so we will continue to think about long positions. --> When could we enter? The table shown in the graph indicates that the MOMENTUM in H1, H4 and DAILY time frames is bearish (Bear) and also the STRENGTH in H1 is bearish (Bear). Therefore, to ensure that the pullback has ended, we have to wait for at least in H4 the MOMENTUM to turn bullish (Bull) again. And when could this happen? When the price exceeds the 198 zone, it is very likely that the IVO indicator will already show us bullish MOMENTUM ( Bull ). (If it happens before, I will update the analysis to anticipate the entry). --> What important support does Google have? The 184 zone is a very important support zone that, if not respected, we could see a much deeper retracement phase. ------------------------------------- Strategy to follow: ENTRY: We will open 2 long positions if the H4 candle closes above 198. POSITION 1 ( TP1 ): We close the first position in the 208 zone ( +4.8%) --> Stop Loss at 188.9 ( -4.8%). --> Ratio 1:1 POSITION 2 ( TP2 ): We open a Trailing Stop type position. --> Initial dynamic Stop Loss at (-4.8%) (coinciding with the 188.9 of position 1). ---We modify the dynamic Stop Loss to (-1%) when the price reaches TP1 (208). ------------------------------------------- SET UP EXPLANATIONS *** How do we know which 2 long positions to open? Let's take an example: If we want to invest 2,000 euros in the stock, what we do is divide that amount by 2, and instead of opening 1 position of 2,000, we will open 2 positions of 1,000 each. *** What is a Trailing Stop? A Trailing Stop allows a trade to continue gaining value when the market price moves in a favorable direction, but automatically closes the trade if the market price suddenly moves in an unfavorable direction by a certain distance. That certain distance is the dynamic Stop Loss. -->Example: If the dynamic Stop Loss is at -1%, it means that if the price drops by -1%, the position will be closed. If the price rises, the Stop Loss also rises to maintain that -1% in the rises, therefore, the risk is increasingly lower until the position becomes profitable. In this way, very solid and stable price trends can be taken advantage of, maximizing profits.

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNASDAQ The Nasdaq broke out of its consolidation range and closed higher. On the daily chart, the index had been moving within a box range, with MACD and the Signal line flattening. However, following the breakout, the MACD has resumed its upward trajectory, signaling a continuation of the bullish trend. With a strong breakout candle in play, the market is likely to maintain a short-term buying trend, centered around the 3-day moving average. While tomorrow’s Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) report presents potential volatility risks, the overall daily uptrend remains intact. On the 240-minute chart, both the MACD and Signal line have crossed above the zero line, entering bullish territory. While further upside is possible, imbalanced order flow suggests we may see mixed price action, with alternating bullish and bearish candles. Given the current setup, buying on pullbacks remains the most favorable approach for today. CRUDE OIL Oil declined following the crude inventory report. On the daily chart, the price failed to reclaim the 10-day moving average, and the MACD-Signal line spread remains wide, indicating a lack of immediate convergence. A strong bearish breakout candle has formed, making short positions near the 3-day moving average a preferable strategy for today. However, the $70 level has established itself as a key support zone, meaning that buying opportunities may emerge in this area. Price action suggests range-bound movement, and for additional downside to materialize, the daily Signal line needs to drop below the zero line. As it remains above zero, a short-term MACD-Signal convergence attempt is likely in the near term, though a direct breakout seems unlikely due to the current wide spread. On the 240-minute chart, a sell signal has reappeared, driving continued downside pressure. However, if prices avoid a sharp decline, a bullish divergence could form, making chasing shorts at this stage risky. Additionally, mixed catalysts, including Iran sanctions and increased U.S. oil drilling activity, are creating conflicting momentum, increasing the likelihood of sharp price swings. Stop-loss management is crucial in this environment. GOLD Gold closed higher but formed an upper wick, signaling profit-taking at recent highs. On the daily chart, gold broke above $2,900, demonstrating a strong, one-way buying trend. However, given the sharp rally, this is a high-risk zone for chasing longs, as profit-taking pressure is likely to increase. Since gold has been moving in a stair-step pattern, the best approach is to buy on pullbacks at well-defined support and resistance levels. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD is in its third-wave buy phase, maintaining the bullish momentum. Once this third wave completes and the MACD crosses below the Signal line (a death cross), gold may enter a consolidation phase or a corrective move, leading to sideways price action. Tomorrow’s Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) report is expected to significantly impact gold, increasing the likelihood of a deeper correction. The optimal approach remains buying on dips, but near $2,900, short positions for range-bound trading should also be considered. ■Trading Strategies for Today Nasdaq - Bullish Market -Buy Levels: 21710 / 21675 / 21620 / 21570 / 21510 -Sell Levels: 21895 / 21935 / 21970 / 22010 Crude Oil - Range-bound Market -Buy Levels: 70.90 / 70.30 / 69.80 / 69.30 -Sell Levels: 71.65 / 72.10 / 72.60 / 73.20 GOLD - Bullish Market -Buy Levels: 2881 / 2875 / 2870 / 2864 / 2859 -Sell Levels: 2896 / 2902 / 2909 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNASDAQ The Nasdaq initially declined in pre-market trading due to escalating tariff tensions between China and the U.S. but ultimately closed higher. A sell signal appeared on the daily chart but was reversed into a buy signal with yesterday’s bullish candle. This suggests that the market is still moving within a large box range, with moving averages converging. This consolidation phase indicates that a trend expansion phase—marked by a strong bullish or bearish breakout—may emerge soon. Until then, it is best to trade within the range. On the 240-minute chart, the market has been making stepwise upward movements, with the MACD forming a golden cross over the Signal line. Despite a strong price surge due to divergence, the index has entered a resistance-heavy zone, and liquidity is currently tight, which could lead to frequent sharp fluctuations. For now, the best strategy is selling near the upper boundary of the range and buying near the lower boundary. Given the ongoing trade tensions under Trump's tariff policies, risk management is crucial—placing stop-loss orders is highly recommended to protect against increased volatility. OIL Oil gapped down but found strong support around the $70 level, closing with a bullish candle. News of the U.S. tightening sanctions on Iran initially sent prices down by 3%, but a sharp rebound followed. While the daily chart still shows a sell signal, the $70 price area has historically provided strong support, as previously emphasized. Thus, the overall strategy should be buying on pullbacks rather than chasing sell positions. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD continues to create bullish divergence, forming a buy signal. This increases the likelihood of further upside movement. However, since the MACD and Signal lines are still below the zero line, further price increases are needed to widen the gap between these indicators and confirm bullish momentum. Overall, buying on pullbacks remains the preferred strategy, but traders should be cautious of potential volatility spikes due to today’s Crude Oil Inventories report. GOLD Gold closed higher, finding support at the 5-day moving average. On the daily chart, as long as the 10-day moving average holds, gold should be viewed from a bullish perspective. The MACD on the daily chart is trending sharply upward, so until a MACD-Signal line death cross occurs, buying on pullbacks remains the best strategy. Similarly, on the 240-minute chart, the MACD has repeatedly formed golden crosses, reinforcing a strong one-way bullish trend. From a flow of funds perspective, buying pressure remains strong, so buying dips continues to be the most favorable approach. However, traders should be aware of potential high volatility due to the upcoming ADP Non-Farm Employment Change report today and the Non-Farm Payroll report on Friday. Given gold's recent sharp rally, a major inflection point could emerge, using economic data as a catalyst. The current market environment is characterized by high volatility and rapid price movements, increasing the likelihood of sudden price swings leading to stop-outs. However, if stop-losses are properly managed, losses can be quickly recovered. In a highly volatile market, profit opportunities increase, so maintaining strict stop-loss discipline while seeking the next trade opportunity is key to successful trading.

THE SKEWED GAMES. UNDERSTANDING CBOE SKEW INDEX (SKEW)The CBOE Skew Index (SKEW, or "BLACK SWAN" Index) is a financial metric developed by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) to measure the perceived tail risk in the S&P 500 over a 30-day horizon. Tail risk refers to the probability of extreme market movements, such as significant declines or "black swan" events, which are rare but have severe consequences. Here's a detailed explanation of its role and implications in financial markets: Key Features of the CBOE:SKEW Index Measurement of Tail Risk. The SKEW Index quantifies the likelihood of returns that deviate two or more standard deviations from the mean. It focuses on outlier events, unlike the VIX (Volatility Index), which measures implied volatility around at-the-money (ATM) options. Implied Volatility Skew. The index is derived from the pricing of out-of-the-money (OTM) S&P 500 options. It reflects the market's demand for protection against downside risks, which leads to higher implied volatility for OTM puts compared to calls. Range and Interpretation The SKEW Index typically ranges from 100 to 150. A value near 100 suggests a normal distribution of returns with low perceived tail risk. Higher values (e.g., above 130) indicate increased concern about potential extreme negative events, with heightened demand for protective options. How It Works The SKEW Index is calculated using a portfolio of OTM options on the S&P 500. The methodology involves measuring the slope of implied volatility across different strike prices, capturing how much more expensive OTM puts are relative to calls. This steepness reflects market participants' expectations of asymmetric risks, particularly on the downside. To make a picture clear, we just simply use 125-Day SMA of SKEW Index. Since multi year high has occurred, market turbulence come as usual. Practical Implications Market Sentiment. A rising SKEW Index signals growing fear of extreme downside risks. For example, during periods of economic uncertainty or geopolitical tensions, investors may hedge portfolios more aggressively, driving up the index. Conversely, lower readings suggest calm market conditions with balanced expectations for future returns. Portfolio Management Investors use the SKEW Index as a barometer for hedging costs. High SKEW levels indicate that protecting against tail risks has become more expensive (and probably active). It also helps traders assess whether market pricing aligns with their own risk expectations. Historical Context Historically, spikes in the SKEW Index have preceded major market downturns or volatility events, such as the "Flash Crash" in 2010, Bear market in early 2000s (dot com collapse), WFC in 2007-09, market falls in late 2018 and in 2022. Complement to VIX While both indices measure risk, they address different aspects: VIX captures overall market volatility, while SKEW focuses on asymmetry and extreme event probabilities. Limitations In summary, the CBOE Skew Index provides valuable insights into market participants' perception of tail risks and their willingness to pay for protection against extreme events. It complements other volatility measures like the VIX and serves as a critical tool for risk management and market analysis.

Big tech stocks fell sharply due to Trump tariff concerns Despite some resolution of tariff risks, USTEC failed to recover from the loss. In particular, big tech stocks with high overseas exposure fell sharply. Tesla (TSLA) fell 5.19% over concerns that Trump's tariff policy could harm the company, given that 15% of Model Y parts are sourced from Mexico and Canada. Apple (AAPL) also dropped 3.39% due to concerns that new tariffs on China might ultimately raise iPhone prices. USTEC briefly tested the ascending trendline and the support at 19140. The index has since rebounded slightly, awaiting additional price triggers for an apparent trend reversal. If USTEC breaks below 19140, the index may fall further to the next support at 18670. Conversely, if USTEC breaches above both EMAs, the index could gain upward momentum toward the 20200 highs.

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNASDAQ The Nasdaq closed lower, forming a lower wick at the bottom. The market initially dropped in pre-market trading due to Trump’s tariff imposition issue but recovered to close the gap after the one-month grace period for Mexico was announced. At yesterday’s closing price, the daily MACD triggered a sell signal. Although there was a gap-up today, further declines are likely as the resistance level holds. However, the MACD and Signal lines are still above the zero line on the daily chart, and it will take time for the 3-day and 5-day moving averages to pull down, suggesting that the index may form a wide-ranging box pattern before the trend leans towards further declines. On the 240-minute chart, a sell signal appeared, and after a rebound, the MACD and Signal lines are reconnecting. Since a golden cross has not yet formed, a sell strategy on rebounds would be favorable. If the MACD fails to break above the Signal line and declines, a third wave of selling could follow. From a broader perspective, the 5-day moving average on the monthly chart coincides with the lower boundary of the daily box pattern. Until this level is strongly broken downward, short-term buy opportunities remain valid near the lower boundary of the range. OIL Oil gapped up but closed lower. The price failed to break above $75, leaving an upper wick. The one-month tariff grace period for Canada resulted in a gap-down movement. The key question is whether oil will attempt another rebound, using the 240-day moving average as support. It is crucial to see if a bullish candlestick forms while maintaining support above the 240-day moving average. On the weekly chart, oil is trapped within a box range, and as the week progresses, it will be important to assess whether conditions develop for a breakout next week. On the 240-minute chart, a rebound has occurred up to the 60-day moving average, following the characteristics of the 240-day moving average. Since the MACD and Signal lines remain below zero, selling pressure may persist. However, this is a high-probability divergence zone. If the third wave of selling fails and prices rebound, a sharp surge is possible, so traders should be cautious with aggressive short positions. The overall approach should be to trade within the range, favoring buy positions on pullbacks. GOLD Gold dropped to the 10-day moving average but found support and closed higher. On the monthly chart, a pullback to the 3-day moving average around 2,770 is possible, and a correction to the low 2,800s has already occurred. Gold's volatility is extreme due to tariff issues, so traders must carefully adjust their leverage to ensure safe trading. On the daily chart, MACD continues to rise, so as long as the price does not close below the 10-day moving average, a buy strategy is recommended. On the 240-minute chart, gold formed a buy signal after a pullback and is attempting a third wave of buying. However, it is crucial that gold continues rising to avoid forming a bearish divergence.

CDW Corporation: Bullish Trap or Breakout Play?NASDAQ-CDW at a Pivotal Moment—Can Bulls Hold the Line? CDW Corporation (NASDAQ: CDW) is standing at a crossroads. The stock currently trades at $199.14, recovering from its January lows but still 24.3% below its all-time high of $263.37 set in April 2024​. With a key resistance looming at $200.31, traders are asking: Will this level act as a launchpad for further gains, or is this the last breath before a deeper pullback? Technicals present a mixed picture. On one hand, RSI (14) is hovering at 56.44, keeping the stock in neutral momentum, while MFI (60) at 48.22 suggests liquidity is balanced​. The 50-day moving average sits at $195.92, reinforcing a support zone, yet sell volumes have increased over recent sessions​. Recent candlestick patterns indicate a battle between bulls and bears, with sell volume spikes on January 31st hinting at potential exhaustion​. So, what’s next? Will CDW break above resistance and retest higher levels, or are sellers about to regain control? Stay tuned—this could be the breakout (or breakdown) of the month. CDW Roadmap: Navigating the Market Waves CDW Corporation (NASDAQ: CDW) has been riding a turbulent wave of buying and selling forces, creating a roadmap of high-impact trading signals. By breaking down recent validated patterns, we can see the key price shifts that traders should have caught—and what might come next. January 27 – Buy Volumes Surge: Start of the Accumulation? Opening at $192.13 and closing at $194.1, this session kicked off a strong bullish impulse. A classic Increased Buy Volumes pattern formed, signaling that buyers were stepping in near the lows. The movement of +3.49% indicated a clear upward drive, setting the stage for continuation. January 28 – Confirmation of Strength Another Increased Buy Volumes signal appeared, reinforcing bullish control. The price climbed to $194.56, and despite some hesitation, the closing candle suggested buyers were still in the game. January 29 – Trap or Breakout? The Sell Shakeout A sudden shift—VSA Manipulation Sell Pattern 1st appeared. Despite an opening near $195.15, price action reversed downward to $194.69. This was the first sign that sellers were lurking, potentially setting up a fake breakout to trap late bulls. January 30 – Sell Pressure Grows A Sell Volumes Takeover pattern developed, pushing CDW to $197.7 at the close. Bulls absorbed some pressure, but the next move would decide the fate of the trend. January 31 – The Decision Zone Sellers made their presence known. Increased Sell Volumes took over, with CDW slipping from $199.31 to $199.11. With the price rejecting the $200.31 resistance, traders had to decide—was this a healthy pullback or the start of a larger downtrend? What’s Next? The last confirmed direction was bearish, but with price hovering near resistance, we’re at a pivotal moment. Will buyers reload for another push higher, or are we gearing up for a deeper correction? Keep an eye on the next patterns—this roadmap is far from over. 🚀 Technical & Price Action Analysis: Key Levels in Play CDW Corporation (NASDAQ: CDW) is testing critical levels that could dictate the next major move. If these zones hold, they’ll act as springboards for the next leg up—but if they fail, expect them to flip into resistance. Here’s what’s on the radar: Support Levels to Watch: $173.35 – First line of defense; bulls need to hold this to keep the uptrend alive. $159.06 – The key retracement zone; failure here opens the door to lower levels. $155.63 – Last stop before sellers take full control. Resistance Levels to Break: $200.31 – Immediate challenge; a breakout could fuel a push higher. $213.00 – A major hurdle that aligns with previous liquidity traps. $222.98 – If bulls take control, this is the next big test. $226.67 – Where things get serious; failure here would signal exhaustion. $239.45 – The ultimate upside target for now. Powerful Support Zones: $222.04, $232.57, $245.92 – If the trend stays strong, these levels will act as deep re-entry zones for dip buyers. Powerful Resistance Zones: $174.90, $158.66 – If these levels get rejected, expect a heavier correction. Trading Strategies: Riding the Fibonacci Rays The VSA Fibonacci Rays provide a roadmap for dynamic price interaction, where movements are dictated by liquidity, market psychology, and technical confluence. These rays aren't just static levels—they adapt as the market evolves, defining key zones where price is most likely to react. Every trade setup is based on price interacting with a ray, confirming direction, and then targeting the next ray as the first milestone. Moving Averages (MA50, MA100, MA200) act as additional dynamic resistance and support. Scenario 1: The Bullish Playbook 📈 Break Above $200.31 – The Path to Strength If price interacts with a VSA Buy Ray near $200.31 and confirms strength, we target: First Target: $213.00 – A historical liquidity pocket Second Target: $222.98 – Next dynamic resistance zone Final Target: $226.67 – The last stronghold before a trend shift Dips to $195.92 (MA50) – The Reload Zone A pullback to MA50 ($195.92) that aligns with a buy ray could be a prime entry: First Target: $200.31 – Retesting resistance as support Second Target: $213.00 – If momentum builds Break Above $226.67 – The Power Move Clearing this level unlocks a potential swing trade: First Target: $239.45 – The major resistance Final Target: $245.92 – High-probability take-profit zone Scenario 2: The Bearish Playbook 📉 Rejection at $200.31 – The Short Setup If price interacts with a VSA Sell Ray and confirms weakness: First Target: $195.92 – MA50 convergence Second Target: $186.08 – MA200 key zone Final Target: $173.35 – Deep support Break Below $195.92 (MA50) – Bearish Acceleration A failure to hold $195.92 flips structure bearish: First Target: $186.08 – A critical test Second Target: $173.35 – A strong demand zone Break Below $173.35 – Downtrend Confirmation A decisive move below this level signals a long-term shift: First Target: $159.06 – The next buyer zone Final Target: $155.63 – Extreme retracement zone Key Takeaways: ✔️ Trade from ray to ray – Every breakout or rejection defines the next move ✔️ MAs act as dynamic validation – Moving Averages filter weak setups ✔️ No early entries – Let price interact with rays before committing What’s Your Next Move?

ODFL: The Buy Signal Traders Can’t IgnoreThe Turning Point for Old Dominion Freight Line – What’s Next? Old Dominion Freight Line (NASDAQ: ODFL) is at a critical inflection point, sitting at $185.47 after a notable -20.49% decline from its absolute high of $233.26 back in November 2024​. The stock has hovered near key support at $184.03, teasing traders with potential buy setups. But here’s where it gets interesting: a surge in buy volume has appeared, with an Increased Buy Volumes pattern confirming accumulation at these levels​. RSI14 is at 40.98, signaling the stock is near oversold territory, while MFI60 has dipped to 34.98, indicating liquidity inflows are building. Could this be the final shakeout before a rally? With the 50-day moving average still above at $189.07, traders are eyeing a possible breakout above $189.05 resistance for confirmation. The question now is—will bulls take control, or is another leg down coming? Stay tuned. ODFL Roadmap: Following the Smart Money Trail Navigating the recent price action of Old Dominion Freight Line (NASDAQ: ODFL) is like following breadcrumbs left by institutional traders. Let’s break down the key patterns that defined the last trading sessions and see which signals were spot on and which ones misfired. January 27: Increased Sell Volumes – The Heavy Drop Begins ODFL opened at $195.08 but quickly lost ground, closing at $194.72. The pattern suggested a strong selling wave, and the next few sessions confirmed this as prices slid further down​. January 28: Sell Volumes Max – Bears Tighten Grip A classic sell continuation setup—ODFL tanked from $191.78 to $189.70, confirming the downtrend. This was a clean sell-off with no signs of reversal, reinforcing the bearish dominance​. January 29: Increased Sell Volumes – Exhaustion Near? Closing at $185.80, ODFL was testing key support. With RSI dipping into oversold territory, traders started watching for a bounce, but sellers weren’t done yet​. January 30 (Early Session): VSA Sell Pattern – False Hope? A VSA Manipulation Sell Pattern appeared, hinting at another downward move. However, by the next session, things took an unexpected turn… January 30 (Later Session): VSA Buy Pattern – Smart Money Steps In Here’s where the tide turned. ODFL bounced from $183.83 to $185.81, signaling that big buyers were stepping back in. The trigger point aligned, confirming a bullish reversal attempt​. January 30 (Final Hours): Increased Buy Volumes – Reversal Lock By the close of the day, the pattern was clear—smart money was back. The stock held gains at $186.70, locking in a higher low and confirming the buy-side control​. What’s Next? With ODFL showing signs of accumulation, all eyes are on the $189.05 resistance. A breakout could confirm a new uptrend, while failure to hold above $184 might signal another leg down. Either way, momentum is shifting, and traders better be ready. Technical & Price Action Analysis 📌 Key Support & Resistance Levels to Watch When it comes to ODFL, levels matter—they act as magnets for price action. If support fails, it flips into resistance, trapping late buyers. If resistance gets crushed, it opens the door for a strong breakout. Let’s map out the battlefield: 🔹 Support Levels (Buyers' Last Stand) 184.03 – Holding above this keeps bulls in play. If it breaks, expect deeper retracement. 181.54 – A soft landing zone, but if it folds, we’re looking at a bigger flush. 172.74 – This is where things get real. Losing this means sellers have full control. 172.00 – Right above the danger zone—break below and it’s game over for bulls. 170.08 – The last line of defense before things spiral downward. 🔸 Resistance Levels (Ceilings to Break) 189.05 – First major checkpoint. If bulls can’t clear it, expect heavy rejection. 192.18 – If this cracks, momentum shifts, and buyers take the wheel. 196.57 – The decision point. Holding above confirms a trend reversal. 206.66 – Bulls dream of this level; a breakout here ignites FOMO. 212.25 – Long-term resistance, break above and it’s clear skies. 🚨 Powerful Resistance – Where the Big Players Step In 171.48 – If price collapses below, expect major distribution. 163.31 – The “no man's land.” Bulls don’t want to see this level tested. 118.93 – If we ever touch this, pack it up—ODFL is in serious trouble. Trading Strategies Using Rays: The Path of Least Resistance The Rays from the Beginning of Movement framework allows us to anticipate ODFL’s price action not by predicting static levels, but by tracking how price interacts with dynamic Fibonacci-based rays. These rays, layered with VSA analysis, define market structure and let us ride high-probability setups as price moves from one ray to the next. 📌 Key Concept: We don’t blindly enter at fixed levels. Instead, we wait for interaction with rays, confirmation from VSA volume shifts, and alignment with Moving Averages, which serve as dynamic resistance/support zones. 🚀 Optimistic Scenario: Bulls Take Control If ODFL holds support and buyers step in at key VSA interaction points, we can expect a steady climb up the ray structure. Entry Zone: $184.03 - $185.47 (VSA confirmation needed) First Target: $189.05 (Initial breakout test) Second Target: $192.18 (Momentum build-up) Third Target: $196.57 (Trend confirmation) 💡 Bullish Momentum Factor: Price reclaiming MA50 ($189.07) and flipping it into support would be a game-changer. If this aligns with a VSA Buy Volume spike, expect acceleration. 🔻 Pessimistic Scenario: Sellers Keep Control If resistance holds and ODFL fails to reclaim higher rays, bears will drag price to lower support zones. Entry Zone: $189.05 - $192.18 (Failure to break) First Target: $184.03 (Breakdown confirmation) Second Target: $181.54 (Bearish continuation) Third Target: $172.74 (Capitulation zone) 💡 Bearish Breakdown Factor: If MA50 ($189.07) & MA100 ($189.42) reject price with a VSA Sell Volume spike, it’s an early warning of a deeper move. 🔥 Possible Trade Setups Long from $184.03 → $189.05 (VSA buy confirmation at support) Breakout Long from $189.05 → $196.57 (Momentum above MA50) Short from $189.05 → $184.03 (Failure to hold resistance) Breakdown Short from $181.54 → $172.74 (Bearish cascade setup) These setups will only activate after interaction with the rays, ensuring trades align with market structure and smart money flow. The next move starts from the next ray, so trade what’s in front of you! 🚀 Trading Strategies Using Rays: The Path of Least Resistance The Rays from the Beginning of Movement framework allows us to anticipate ODFL’s price action not by predicting static levels, but by tracking how price interacts with dynamic Fibonacci-based rays.

Mondelez at the Edge: Can Bulls Hold the Line?A Pivotal Moment for Mondelez – Will the Bulls Step Up? Mondelez International (NASDAQ: MDLZ) is trading at $58.05, clawing back some ground but still down 26.1% from its all-time high of $78.59. The stock has been oscillating near a critical resistance level at $58.40, testing the patience of both bulls and bears. Technical indicators suggest a market at a crossroads: the 50-day MA sits at $57.63, while the RSI hovers at 52.97, keeping the stock in neutral momentum. Meanwhile, Money Flow Index (MFI) remains weak at 38.09, signaling a lack of strong accumulation. Adding to the tension, the last few sessions have flashed sell-heavy VSA patterns, with a significant increase in selling volume on January 31st. This raises an important question: Is Mondelez on the brink of a breakdown, or will buyers defend the $57 zone and push for a breakout above $58.40? The answer may come from broader market forces. Inflation remains a key macro factor, and any shifts in consumer sentiment could dictate the next leg for Mondelez. Traders should watch for confirmation: if bulls fail to reclaim ground above $58.40, the path downward toward $56.50 support may accelerate. But if the stock finds strength, a breakout could set sights on the next resistance near $59.86 and beyond. One thing is certain—this is a defining moment for MDLZ. Are you ready for what’s next? MDLZ Roadmap: Tracing the Footsteps of Market Makers Mondelez (NASDAQ: MDLZ) has been dancing on the edge of key price levels, with a series of Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) patterns defining its trajectory. The past few sessions reveal a battle between buyers and sellers, but the roadmap is becoming clearer. Let’s break it down. January 27 – Sell Volumes Max: This pattern signaled an aggressive sell-off, closing at $58.37 from an opening of $58.595. Given the magnitude of the sell pressure, it was crucial to watch the next sessions for validation. January 28 – Buy Volumes Max: A reversal attempt came in with increased buy volumes, pushing the stock up to $56.88 from a low of $56.68. This bounce hinted at possible accumulation, but the lack of follow-through kept the market on edge. January 29 – Sell Volumes: Sellers regained control, pushing MDLZ to $57.13, marking another bearish shift. This played into the broader downtrend, reinforcing that buyers weren’t ready to step in just yet. January 30 – VSA Sell Patterns Dominate: The day saw a series of manipulation-based sell patterns, with MDLZ closing at $57.695. These patterns typically indicate smart money positioning for further downside. January 31 – Sell Volumes Max Returns: Another spike in sell volumes appeared, reinforcing the previous direction and closing at $58.00. This was a strong confirmation that the previous bearish signals were working. Key Takeaways: The main direction has remained bearish, and each sell-based VSA pattern has been validated by subsequent price action. Bulls attempted a fightback on January 28, but weak follow-through suggested it was merely a liquidity grab. Until we see a buy pattern confirming with sustained upward movement, the path of least resistance remains downward. MDLZ traders should keep an eye on support zones near $56.50, as breaking this could trigger further downside momentum. Will buyers finally step in, or are we looking at another leg lower? Stay tuned. Technical & Price Action Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Mondelez (NASDAQ: MDLZ) is moving in a tight range, and key levels are setting up for potential breakout or breakdown plays. Whether you’re scalping the swings or positioning for a bigger move, here’s what matters right now. Support Levels: If buyers want to step up, they’ll need to hold $56.51 and $55.72—otherwise, expect them to flip into resistance, making the path even harder for bulls. Resistance Levels: The first roadblock for upside sits at $58.40, followed by $59.86 and $60.71. If these levels don’t hold sellers back, expect them to become the next battle zone for bulls trying to break through. Powerful Support Levels: The real lifeline sits way higher at $65.27 and $69.65—far from current prices, but if the stock ever reclaims these zones, the trend structure could shift bullish again. Powerful Resistance Levels: The ultimate ceiling remains $75.68, but let’s be real—MDLZ has a long way to go before challenging that zone again. If support fails, those same levels will be a brick wall on the next bounce attempt. Traders should be watching price reactions closely—levels don’t break without a fight, and smart money is always one step ahead. Trading Strategies Based on Rays: Optimistic & Pessimistic Scenarios The "Rays from the Beginning of Movement" method provides a dynamic approach to market structure, using Fibonacci-based rays to map out price movements. Unlike static support and resistance, these rays adapt in real time, helping traders react to the market instead of predicting exact levels. Each price interaction with a ray indicates one of two scenarios: Reversal – A bounce off a ray signals a potential turn in trend. Continuation – A breakout or clean movement along the ray suggests an extension toward the next key zone. Trade entries are only valid after price interacts with a ray and confirms movement in the expected direction. The first ray hit acts as the initial target, with subsequent rays marking extended take-profit levels. Optimistic Scenario: Bulls Take Control If price holds $58.40 resistance and breaks above, we look toward $59.86 as the next target. If momentum continues, $60.71 becomes the secondary take-profit zone. If buyers manage to push beyond $66.07, we could see a structural shift towards the powerful resistance zone at $69.22. Pessimistic Scenario: Bears Regain Control A rejection at $58.40 or a break below $56.51 signals downside pressure. If sellers dominate, the next key level is $55.72. A further breakdown could push MDLZ toward the $54.72 absolute low, a must-hold zone for bulls. Dynamic Moving Averages as Confirmation Moving averages (MAs) will play a key role in defining momentum: 50 MA at $57.63 – A flip above this level supports bullish continuation. 100 MA at $57.45 – A break below signals a short-term bearish trend shift. 200 MA at $57.33 – The ultimate line in the sand; a loss here opens the door for deeper declines. Potential Trade Setups Based on Ray Interactions Long on Break Above $58.40 → Target $59.86, Stop Below $58.00 Short on Rejection from $58.40 → Target $56.51, Stop Above $58.70 Long on Bounce from $56.51 → Target $58.40, Stop Below $56.00 Short on Breakdown Below $56.51 → Target $55.72, Stop Above $56.80 As always, these setups work in confluence with the VSA rays already mapped out. Each move from ray to ray defines a structured trade, and positioning should only occur after confirmation of movement. Let’s Talk: Your Thoughts & Custom Analysis Requests Trading is all about levels and reactions, and now it’s your turn—drop your questions in the comments! Let’s discuss how MDLZ moves next, and whether the price will respect these mapped-out levels.

PayPal's Market Crossroads: Rebound or Further Downside?Is PayPal Ready for a Comeback? Key Levels to Watch Now The digital payment giant PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) is at a crucial market intersection. Trading at $88.27, the stock has slipped 14.3% from its absolute high of $103.03, recorded over 900 days ago, but remains 75.6% above its multi-year low of $50.25. With recent buy-side volume spikes and a key resistance challenge at $89.34, the question arises: Is PYPL gearing up for a bullish breakout, or will sellers take control again? The RSI14 at 33.35 signals an oversold condition, while the MFI60 at 38.5 suggests weakening selling pressure. Meanwhile, major moving averages remain clustered near $89.2-$89.49, hinting at a decisive moment ahead. Adding to the mix, the VSA Buy Pattern Extra 1st recently emerged, a sign of potential accumulation after a sharp decline. Market sentiment is further fueled by macroeconomic uncertainties, interest rate expectations, and sector-wide volatility in tech and fintech stocks. Will buyers push past resistance, or is another wave of selling ahead? For investors and traders alike, this could be the defining moment to make a move. PYPL Roadmap: Decoding the Market’s Next Move The market never moves in a straight line—it's a battlefield of buyers and sellers, where every pattern leaves a footprint. Let's break down PayPal’s (NASDAQ: PYPL) recent price action using the roadmap of confirmed patterns that actually played out, filtering out the noise and focusing on what mattered. January 27, 2025 - Buy Volumes Max (Buy Signal) PYPL opened at $89.57, climbed to $90.29, and closed at $90.24, with strong buy-side dominance. This signaled the start of an accumulation phase, pushing the price upward. January 28, 2025 - Buy Volumes Max (Buy Confirmation) The momentum carried forward as PYPL opened at $87.87, surged to $89.36, and closed at $89.16. This confirmed the previous buy signal, proving that demand was actively stepping in. The low of the last three bars at $86.88 acted as the trigger, validating the long setup. January 28, 2025 - Sell Volumes Max (Reversal Signal) Right after buyers showed strength, sellers hit back hard. The stock opened at $88.82, peaked at $88.85, but closed weak at $88.17. This shift hinted that smart money might be cashing out after the recent rally. January 30, 2025 - Increased Sell Volumes (Bearish Confirmation) The downward momentum continued as PYPL opened at $90.11, dropped to $88.84, and closed at $89.56. The trigger was met—the breakdown from the previous low played out, confirming that sellers had control. January 31, 2025 - VSA Buy Pattern Extra 1st (Bullish Reversal) The market didn’t stay bearish for long. A new buy pattern formed as PYPL hit a low of $88.28, bounced off, and closed at $88.56. This was a classic Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) buy signal—a sign that buyers were absorbing supply before a potential upward move. What’s next? With resistance looming at $89.34, the market is at a crossroads. If bulls take charge, we could see a push to $91.44 and beyond. But if resistance holds, another leg down might be in the cards. Technical & Price Action Analysis: Key Levels to Watch When it comes to trading, levels are everything. Whether you’re scalping, swing trading, or positioning for the long haul, understanding where price reacts is what separates winners from bag holders. Here’s the must-watch roadmap for PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL). If these levels fail, expect them to flip into resistance—because in this game, what was support can quickly become a selling zone. Support Levels (Dip-Buy Zones) 85.905 – First line of defense. If bulls hold, expect a bounce play. If lost, it’s a new ceiling. 80.96 – Mid-range safety net. A break below would signal real weakness. 79.16 – The last soft support before things get messy. 71.19 – A break here sends alarms—this level needs to hold. 59.9 – If we hit this, something bigger is at play. A strong reaction is expected. Resistance Levels (Profit-Taking & Rejection Zones) 89.34 – Immediate wall. Bulls need to flip this to keep momentum alive. 91.445 – Strong barrier. A clean break could open breakout conditions. 93.85 – High probability rejection zone. Needs volume to push through. 96.12 – Final boss before a larger rally. Powerful Support Levels (Last Line of Defense) 102.57 – If we ever reclaim this, it’s game on for higher timeframes. Powerful Resistance Levels (Big Money Zones) 81.46 – Needs to turn into support for a true trend shift. 70.46 – Heavy weight here. Any test is make-or-break. 58.5 – Historical battleground. Expect strong reactions. 51.09 – If bulls conquer this, deep discount buyers will wake up. 💡 Trading Playbook: If support doesn’t hold, don’t marry the trade—watch for the level to flip into resistance. Same applies in reverse—if resistance breaks, it could be the fuel for a strong bullish continuation. Stay sharp. 🚀 Trading Strategies Using Rays: Precision Entries & Probable Targets The market moves in waves and phases, not in straight lines. That’s why using Fibonacci-based dynamic rays allows traders to catch moves from ray to ray instead of chasing price at random levels. Each ray is constructed from the beginning of a movement, not traditional highs and lows, making it a leading indicator for upcoming reversals or continuations. The interaction with rays is what defines trade opportunities. A position is taken only after price touches a ray and confirms movement. Each next ray becomes the target for the trade. Alongside this, the Moving Averages (MA50, MA100, MA200, MA233) act as dynamic factors of support and resistance, strengthening key zones. 💡 Two Trade Scenarios: Be Ready for Both Optimistic Scenario (Breakout & Trend Continuation) If PYPL pushes above $89.34 resistance and secures a close, momentum traders can look for: Entry: After interaction with the ray at $89.34 Target 1: $91.445 (next ray) Target 2: $93.85 (if buying volume confirms) Target 3: $96.12 (longer-term extension) 🚀 Trade Rationale: Bullish confirmation through ray breakout & support retest. RSI & MFI confirming strength. Pessimistic Scenario (Rejection & Drop to Lower Rays) If PYPL fails to break $89.34 and shows weakness: Entry: After rejection from the ray at $89.34 Target 1: $85.905 (next lower ray) Target 2: $80.96 (if bearish continuation forms) Target 3: $79.16 (major liquidity grab zone) 🔥 Trade Rationale: If price rejects resistance and closes below MA50/MA100, sellers gain control. 💰 Potential Trade Setups Based on Ray Interactions Ray-to-Ray Breakout Trade (Momentum Play) If price closes above $89.34 → Enter long targeting $91.445. If price closes above $91.445 → Ride the wave to $93.85. Ray-to-Ray Breakdown Trade (Short Play) If price fails at $89.34 → Enter short to $85.905. If price loses $85.905 → Target next ray at $80.96. Moving Average Interaction Play (Reversal Signal) If price bounces off MA233 ($88.67) → Go long, targeting next ray up. If price breaks below MA233 → Short it down to next key ray. These strategies allow flexibility—reacting to price instead of guessing moves. Whether it’s a breakout ride or a rejection short, the market always provides opportunities for those watching the right signals. Stay ready. 🚀🔥 What’s Next? Let’s Talk in the Comments!

NASDAQ-REGN at a Crossroads: Breakdown or Breakout?The Market’s Dilemma: Is REGN Ready for a Reversal? The biotech giant Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: REGN) is hovering at a critical juncture. Trading at $672.98, the stock has plummeted 44.4% from its all-time high of $1211.19 just five months ago. With the RSI at 38.8, the market is edging toward oversold conditions—but does that mean a bounce is imminent, or is further downside in store? Recent sell volume spikes and bearish VSA patterns suggest institutional distribution, while key support at $669.24 is under pressure. If buyers fail to hold this level, the next move could be decisive. Meanwhile, resistance looms at $693.67, creating a tight battlefield between bulls and bears. With momentum indicators flashing caution and a looming test of critical levels, traders must ask: Is REGN poised for a short-term rally, or are we witnessing the start of an extended breakdown? Stay sharp—this might be the last chance to act before the next major move. NASDAQ-REGN Roadmap: A Pattern-Driven Journey The price action on Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: REGN) has been painting a vivid picture of institutional maneuvering. By analyzing the sequential Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) and buy/sell volume patterns, we can uncover the footprints of smart money and determine where the next big move might emerge. Let’s break it down step by step. January 22: The Battle Between Bulls and Bears A VSA Buy Pattern Extra 1st appeared, signaling a potential reversal after prolonged selling. The open was at $682.89, but the close dipped to $679.24, showing hesitation. However, a competing Sell Volumes Max pattern on the same day added to the confusion. The key takeaway? The market was indecisive, but the tug-of-war suggested a major breakout was brewing. January 23: Buyers Step Up A surge in buy volumes confirmed the bullish bias. With an open at $692.165 and a close at $694.36, bulls showed their dominance. This validated the previous buy setup and confirmed that institutions were stepping in. January 24: A Bullish Fake-Out? The VSA Manipulation Buy Pattern 3rd hinted at continued strength. The market opened at $680.78 and closed higher at $683.75, pushing past short-term resistance. However, the presence of a Buy Volumes Takeover pattern earlier in the day, which was immediately sold off, hinted at hidden distribution. The market was climbing, but the undercurrent wasn’t as strong as it seemed. January 27-31: Sellers Take Control A clear shift in sentiment emerged as Sell Volumes Max patterns took over. On January 27, the market opened at $685.17 but barely moved, closing at $684.67—a sign of exhaustion. Then, on January 30-31, massive sell volumes hit, confirming distribution. The price tumbled from $684.17 to $676.50, sealing the bearish outlook. Key Takeaway: Where Do We Go From Here? The January 23-24 bullish patterns initially suggested an upside continuation, but the surge in selling pressure from January 27 onward negated that move. The market failed to hold its ground, confirming the strength of the selling signals. With support at $669.24 under fire, the next key zone to watch is $652-655. If bulls don’t reclaim momentum soon, REGN could be setting up for a deeper correction. Stay sharp—the next move is brewing. Technical & Price Action Analysis: Key Levels in Play The market structure on NASDAQ-REGN is shifting, and traders need to keep an eye on these critical levels. If support zones fail to hold, they flip into resistance—trapping late buyers and fueling further downside moves. Likewise, if resistance levels break, they become new bases for continuation plays. Support Levels: 669.24 – The immediate support zone; losing this level could open the floodgates for deeper selling. 592.7 – A major downside target if sellers gain full control. This level previously acted as a demand zone. 547.57 – The last stand for bulls before things get ugly. Below here, expect a momentum flush. Resistance Levels: 693.67 – The first wall bulls need to break for any short-term recovery. A failure here keeps the bears in charge. 707.835 – A psychological pivot; clearing this would suggest a trend shift. 752.54 – Major battle zone. If reached, expect serious profit-taking. 784.1 – Key breakout threshold; breaking and holding above opens the door for a bigger upside run. 810.53 – The big league level. Any rally stalling here signals trend exhaustion. Powerful Support Levels: 945.71 – Long-term structure zone. If the price ever reclaims this level, bulls are fully back in control. 985.9 – The pivot point for a full-blown trend reversal. 1175.16 – The holy grail for long-term investors; reclaiming this would signal a multi-month rally. Powerful Resistance Levels: 575.46 – A historical battleground; failure to hold here sends a strong bearish signal. 549.69 – A make-or-break level for dip buyers. If sellers push below, expect panic exits. The playbook is simple: react, don’t predict. Watch for confirmations, volume shifts, and price reactions at these levels. No clean break? No trade. The market always shows its hand—just follow the footprint. Trading Strategies Using Rays: Precision in Action The "Rays from the Beginning of Movement" concept is built on dynamic Fibonacci-based levels that adapt to market conditions. Unlike traditional support and resistance levels, these rays adjust automatically as price action evolves, providing a leading rather than lagging perspective. The goal is not to predict exact levels but to identify high-probability zones where price interactions signal trend continuation or reversal. These rays interact with VSA dynamics and moving averages, making them powerful confirmation tools. The price will move from ray to ray, establishing first, second, and third trade targets accordingly. Entries should be made only after interaction with the ray and confirmation of direction. Optimistic Scenario: Bullish Ray Interaction Entry near 669.24 (support level + interaction with a rising ray) First target: 693.67 (resistance level aligned with MA50) Second target: 707.83 (breakout level with confirmation from VSA) Third target: 752.54 (major resistance, completion of the wave) 💡 If momentum is strong, price could extend toward 784.1, aligning with long-term trend acceleration. Pessimistic Scenario: Bearish Ray Interaction Entry after breakdown of 669.24 (failure to hold as support flips to resistance) First target: 592.7 (next structural level, confirming bearish intent) Second target: 547.57 (full breakdown level, aligning with MA200 interaction) Third target: 575.46 (major psychological barrier—either reversal or trend continuation) 💡 If the bearish wave extends, price may push toward 549.69, signaling further downside. Potential Trades Based on Ray Interaction Buy from 669.24 → Target 693.67 – Confirmation required via VSA buy volumes. Breakout above 693.67 → Target 707.83 – Only valid if price holds above MA50. Sell below 669.24 → Target 592.7 – Valid only after a strong bearish volume surge. Rejection at 707.83 → Short to 669.24 – Reversal signal from VSA sell zones.
