S&P500 For the first time since the COVID sell off the SP:SPX closed the WEEK below the 200 SMA at 3583 points, for the previous three weeks the index was trying to test the support of the 200 SMA but after the heavy selling pressure in the other indexes TVC:DJI NASDAQ:IXIC and NASDAQ:NDX .
SP:SPX has broken the support to the downside and most of the stocks are closing at the lowest prices after breaking most of the medium and long-term supports. on the other hand, the indicators are confirming the same view as the RSI is below its moving average at 36 level, also the stochastic is still giving sell and weakness signals.
A small rebound is expected as a correction in the very short term closing the long positions, and opening short positions are recommended.
NASDAQ 100 CFD
NASDAQ One last leg down or break above the 1D MA50?Nasdaq (NDX) is extending the Channel Down that started on the August 16 2022 High, making a Lower Low yesterday. With the assistance of the 1D RSI, we have spotted a recurring pattern that has already played out two times during this Bear Cycle since the start of the year and is currently forming the third one.
As you see, every such Lower Low sequence, made a bottom when the 1D RSI made a Low at the same level as the previous one. It is shown that the RSI has a somewhat triple bottom before the price rebounds. Right now the RSI is approaching the 30.000 level where the September 30 Low was made. The bottom of the previous Lower Low sequence was made on June 16 on the -0.5 Fibonacci extension from the March 15 Low. If each Low is a Fib level higher then the current one could be either on the -0.382, which is just below the 1W MA300 (yellow trend-line) or the -0.236 (just above the 10000 mark). Either way, the buy signal is given when the RSI hits 30.000.
It is not unlikely though to see a rebound without dipping that low as the sequence is almost completed and we saw a bullish reaction yesterday to the CPI. So if the index breaks above the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) next, we can see a bullish extension towards the 1W MA100 (grey trend-line), which is the current Resistance as it has provided the last two rejection on August 16 and May 05.

QQQ - Is a double bottom done rising? Recently, we warned that the market was likely to bounce after making new lows. Subsequently, that occurred, and the Nasdaq continuous futures rose approximately 7% from their lows. So now, we are again turning bearish on the index in the short term.
Our views, like previously, are based on a combination of fundamental and technical factors. We expect these factors to worsen as the FED continues tightening monetary conditions. Therefore, we have no reason to change our macroeconomic views and stick to the price target of 11 000 USD for NQ1!. Since our last price targets for QQQ were reached recently, we would like to set a new price target of 270 USD.

Bearish NASDAQ (US100) to Continue in Longer TermBased on the upcoming fundamental news such as Non-farm Payroll (NFP) today and CPI news next week, I would think NQ would be bearish with higher probability to follow yellow path.
I am hoping i was wrong, but given the recent geo-political news such as OPEC+ is reducing the oil output, it will drive price of goods to continue to go up, giving more pressure for higher inflation, and fed will try to slow inflation down by increasing interest rates more if there were no strategic initiative by US government to relieve the concerning situation.
NASDAQ Repeating the April-May fractal and how it can be avoidedNasdaq has been trading within a Channel Down pattern since the short-term High of August 16 that was rejected on the 1W MA100 (gray trend-line). The minor rise at the start of the week has turned sideways as it approached the top (Lower Highs trend-line) of the Channel and the market prepares for the Nonfarm Payrolls today.
Based also on the 1D RSI structure, this pattern resembles so far the April - May Channel Down. As long as the price remained below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), it made a Lower Low on June 16 before gradually starting to recover and eventually break above the 1D MA50 and towards the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line).
As a result, we may be looking for a Lower Low near the 1W MA300 (yellow trend-line), now that the 1W MA200 (red trend-line) broke. A closing above the 1D MA50 should be taken as a bullish break-out signal on the short-term targeting the 1D MA200 and 1W MA100. Only a weekly closing above the 1W MA100 can be considered as an attempt to shift the long-term trend from bearish to bullish.

Nasdaq reclaiming the June lows — squeeze on watchWe spoke a lot about this chart in last week's SMW video and our preferred scenario for today would have been a market puke and a VIX spike, but as we often say, the market doesn't care what we want.
We talked about the June lows as a key line in the sand going forward and the market is trying to make us believe that it wants to be above it. The action today was constructive, but now we need follow through and we need to punch through this cluster of highs/lows around 275 to really kick off the squeeze.
This remains a very tricky environment that can change on a dime, but as it stands right now, shorts need to be careful of an impending squeeze so long as we are over the June lows.
NASDAQ Testing the 1W MA200. Is it on the brink of collapse?------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the Nasdaq index (NDX) on the 1W time-frame, where it hit the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line), for the first time since July 2010! Coupled with the 1W MACD just forming a Bearish Cross in the previous week, inevitably similarities emerge with the 2008 Housing Crisis.
And rightly so as until now, the 2022 correction has been very similar to October 2007 - July 2008. As you see after the index started falling initially, the price rebound at (or very close to in the case of 2022) the 1W MA200. The subsequent rebound, hit (or in the case of 2022 nearly hit) the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line), which in turn rejected the uptrend and turned the trend downwards again towards the 1W MA200.
It would appear that we are at this important level now where in July 2008 the 1W MA200 provided one last rebound before one final rejection on the 1W MA50 that on September 2008 broke below the 1W MA200 finally and caused a -42% collapse. Notice that the 1W Death Cross (MA50 crossing below the MA200), though a bearish pattern, it was formed right at the bottom of the Cear Cycle. Both then and now the 1W RSI was trading under Lower Highs, which when broke, signalled the start of the recovery and the new Bull Cycle. Also the 1W MACD took a Bearish - Bullish - Bearish Cross sequence before the -42% collapse.
What this chart shows is that the emphasis should be on the current test of the 1W MA200. A trend-line tested three times since February 2010 and provided extremely strong Bull Phases, with COVID crash (March 2020) being the most recent. A break below it, could initiate a 2008 type collapse, with a -40% from current levels placing the target around the COVID March 2020 Low (6650). On the other hand, it shows that the 1W MA50 is the current Resistance and if broken first (after it failed this August), it could invalidate the extension of the Bear Market and save the day for stocks.
What do you think will happen next?

Nasdaq 100 - Progressing into the 2nd stage of the bear marketOur last post on the Nasdaq index outlined our bearish stance on the general stock market. Today will be no different, and we will reiterate our grim opinions and provide more thoughts on the latest developments in the market.
Since our last article, the Nasdaq index continued to drift lower; meanwhile, QQQ reached our price target of 280 USD and halted its decline slightly above the 270 USD price tag. Furthermore, since November 2021, the Nasdaq index has lost more than 33%, plunging deep into the bear market territory.
Unfortunately, we do not see any reversal of the primary trend on the horizon. Contrarily, we think the FED will follow its path of demand destruction, negatively affecting the stock market and the real economy. Indeed, we would argue that the bear market is already transitioning from the 1st stage into the 2nd stage.
The 2nd stage of the bear market is characterized by the decline of corporate profits and economic projections, which is currently under progress. Therefore, we voice a strong word of caution to market participants over the medium and long term. We believe the market will continue to weaken and constitute new lows over time.
Regarding the short-term, major stock market indices are currently hovering near their 2022 lows. Therefore, we are looking for signs of a short-lived bounce. We reason that soon, we will start seeing market participants forecasting double bottom formations, which will once again lure weak hands into the market - ones that will later reinforce the selling pressure.
Despite that, we commit to our bearish stance over the medium and long term. Accordingly, we maintain 11 000 USD price target for NQ1!; as for the QQQ, we currently choose not to set any price target.

QQQ - Brief updateRecently, QQQ reached our price target of 290 USD. Therefore, we would like to update our thoughts on the asset. We continue to be bearish due to the persistence of fundamental and technical factors. Indeed, we think the U.S. stock market will continue lower. Accordingly, we maintain the price target for QQQ at 280 USD. Our price target for the Nasdaq 100 index is 11 000 USD.

Preparing to catch the falling market knife - short-term tradersIn this video we recap the US stock market price action from last week and game plan for the week ahead.
We break down the 3 possible scenarios the market may take next week and how to plan/structure trades around them.
This video was specifically recorded for short-term tactical traders looking to catch a multi-day bounce, and does not acknowledge/discuss the fact that we are in a longer-term bearish market environment.
Market Sees Reversal After Rate Hike News The result of today's US economic news, Fed Interest Rate Decision
Actual: 3.25% Forecasted: 3.25% Previous: 2.50%, exhibited bullishness for the US dollar as the rate increase was higher than the previous amount. Stocks slumped and so did all other major currencies other than the greenback. The Nasdaq and S&P500 dumped significantly while the DXY dollar strength index rose. Going forward until rate hikes diminish the stock market and other currencies other than the US dollar will be under pressure. Some tech names are attractive at this price for long term but still may decline slightly. As of right now a short term reversal may be in the works as the euro and other major non US currencies have found strength here, as well as S&P and Nasdaq futures have also showed bullish strength in the European open.
Technically after the news today which caused the decline as mentioned, pushed many assets into strong sell volatility and now we see the bulls seeking at least for the time being a short term reversal. If price reverses down slightly as the market is seeing a market wide transition, I would suggest buys on the EURUSD near 0.98150 and Nasdaq futures around the 11625 support areas. The euro and ndx100 futures can potentially see continued strength into the New York session. $EUR/USD $Nasdaq 100

EURUSD Market Analysis-Fed Interest Rate Decision What To ExpectTomorrow the US will be holding a very important economic event, the Fed Interest Rate Decision, Forecast: 3.25% Previous: 2.50%, will be one of the highest volatility events that we will see this year in the market aside from other US interest rate decisions, as it will bring enormous shape to the market. A 0.75% rate increase is expected though a 1.00% rate increase is possible, so is a 0.50% increase. This will affect stocks, bonds, foreign exchange currencies, cryptocurrencies just to name a few, and of course the US economy will be majorly affected. The US aims to fight inflation by increasing interest rates on lending, this includes mortgages and credit. This will affect the economy further by weakening demand in the housing market and increasing supply, this in turn will cause housing market prices to fall over the next year or so, it is possible to see a real estate market crash furthermore. The canadian core CPI report today showed a decrease in inflation month over month and year over year, weakening the loonie but being beneficial for stocks. Putin has recently stated that "the west is looking to weaken and destroy Russia", Putin further stated, "Russia to take necessary steps to defend sovereignty". Putin also stated, "military operations remain the same". After the speech from the Russian leader the EURUSD rate fell 50 pips while the US dollar rose.
From a technical perspective EURUSD has had trouble staying above the 4 hour 100 sma while still also beneath the 200 sma. It was holding above the 100 sma yesterday but during the New York session this morning fell beneath once again. The 4 hour RSI has recently fallen under 35 and it is possible that the pair can become oversold soon. Today the Euro US pair saw flatlining movement and stayed within a 10 pip range during the entire asian session and has only started to move after Putin's speech an hour before the London session opening. The MACD 10 day EMA holds below the 30 day EMA and has been showing some bearish momentum after Putins speech. Before the speech the histogram was showing some bullish momentum but has fallen back to bearishness for the time being. It is possible for the euro to see some bullishness later on but be weary of the US Fed rate decision. The 4 hour RSI has not been oversold since August 22nd. Right now I am staying neutral on the EURUSD currency pair. I am not seeing any potential opportunities that stand out today, perhaps after the news tomorrow we can see some oversold or overbought opportunities to speculate on. The US Fed interest rate decision news will be released at 11:00 am GMT-7 pacific standard time.$EUR/USD

NASDAQ Neutral so far. See which break-outs to trade.The Nasdaq Index (NDX) staged a fair rebound yesterday on a Lower Lows trend-line that started on the September 01 Low. Today we see an early rejection on the futures market, which from one side is expected as the market is preparing for Wednesday's Fed Rate Decision. The 4H RSI however has been on Higher Lows since August 22, staging a Bullish Divergence.
The last similar Divergence was spotted during the May 12 - 20 Lower Lows. When the index broke above the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) for the second time, it targeted the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line).
As a result, our short-term plan is to wait for either that 4H MA50 break-out and target the 4H MA200 or the Lower Lows break-out and target the 1W MA200 (red trend-line). As a side-note, notice how the index has been trading on symmetrical Lower Highs as well (Aug 26 and Sep 13), thus we can view the price action as a Channel Down. The 4H MA200 (our bullish target) is exactly at the top (Lower Highs trend-line) of that Channel Down.
