NQ
NQ, Channel in channel !NASDAQ 100 E-mini Futures is showing a beautiful channel play !
There is a high slope minor up going parallel channel in low slope major up going channel. Index is reaching to upper top of both channels and reaction will be exciting.
Break out from down side of minor channel will probably triggers for downward move to base of major parallel channel. In this case possible break out of base of major channel signals more down side in whole market. MACD MAY also make a bearish cross. Please note latest bearish crosses in MACD followed by sharp decline in the index.
Possible True Break out of top of channels will trigger more up side move.
Which sides of channels will be broken? We may have a guess and predictions but wise action is to watch carefully and follow the market not our predictions.
This channel in channel setup sounds very interesting and I am happy to share this beauty of technical analysis with you.
Good luck.
Nasdaq 100 - NQ1! follows through with a relief rally A week ago, we abruptly warned investors that the stock market might be positioning itself for a significant bear market rally in the short term. We also clarified that we expected this move to range between 5-10%. Since then, the Nasdaq index has risen more than 5%. Currently, NQ1! (continuous futures) trades near 12 440 USD. We remain bearish in the medium/long-term; however, in the short-term, we think the index might continue higher and possibly test the resistance in the vicinity of 13 000 USD. This short-term view is supported mainly by technical factors.
Meanwhile, fundamental factors continue to stay bearish. Higher interest rates, economic tightening, and looming recession pose a threat to the U.S. economy. Indeed, we think the rally might be put to an end if the FED follows through with the rumored rate hike on 27the July 2022. That would further pressure the U.S. economy, which is already at a weak point.
In our opinion, the bear market rally's presence is also indicated by the enormous magnitude of moves across various stocks. Historically, bear market rallies tended to perform very well, often in double digits. That, in return, often led to confusing market participants who would later feed the cycle of buying and selling. Because of that, we think it is premature to say that the bear market is over.

The bullish breakout occurred, further bolstering the bullish case in the short term.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI, MACD, and Stochastic are all bullish. The same applies to DM+ and DM-. The ADX contains a relatively low value, which indicates that the trend is weak. Overall, the daily time frame is bullish but with a weak trend.
Illustration 1.02
The chart shows simple support and resistance lines.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI is bullish. MACD performed a bullish crossover. Stochastic reversed to the upside. DM+ and DM- remain bearish. Overall, the weekly time frame is slightly bullish.

Consumer Sentiment / Without Question - C R A S H Dead AheadThe Greatest Bubble in History is unwinding with fits and starts.
Economic Conditions Globally - within the lower 3% Historically.
Multiples for Equities - within the Highest 4% Historically in very
Real Terms.
Monetary & Fiscal Excess - The Greatest in History, bar none.
100% Assured:
Reality is brought to bare with the Consumer who is being squeezed
like a sponge, wrung out and left to dry up, wither and dustify.
During the 1929 Crash, it was the Industrial Centers of our Productive
Economy who observed the Level of Commerce, Euphoria and
Distended Prices... they Sold everything that was not nailed down.
It was not Wall Street - why would they end the Great Game of
Wealth Transfer. They would not.
The Public merely piled in and joined the Selling.
When Confidence fails, it is over for a generation.
That was then, from the early 1980s our Economy began to shift
to a Tertiary, Consumer-based arrangement.
Irrational behavior merely follows suit upon the False signals provided
via both Monetary and Fiscal Policies, provided the Drugs to imbue
speculations.
It has been the exact same throughout recorded History. Human
behavior and incentives never actually change.
The shift to a Consumer-based Economy was temporary. Great Wealth
was accumulated and squandered under the privilege of Dollar Senioarge.
Eventually, the dislocations become evident, often decades later.
Observe the Financial Environment, the final stage of Crazy is unwinding.
There is much further to devolve, there is no outcome that will be
tenable to the vast majority of Humankind.
All that is required is a loss of confidence in the "Systems" - we see
this is taking shape in the very Pillars which support the failing Systems.
We no longer have an Industrial Sector of Scope and Scale, but rather a
series of Financial Arrangements that are no longer sustainable by any
metric.
The Can Kick... it's ending - Sooner than later.
Wall Street follies at this juncture can and will be even more extreme,
count on it as there is nothing left but wild dislocations, absurdities and
further Lies, Corruption, and Greed to unravel.

In the larger context of the Full High to Low Range, we see NQ has
managed to pop its little head over the very Negative 764 of the
Range.
Bullish?
No, a Counter Trend.
Can it reach the magical Negative 618?
It's possible, it's Summer, but is wholly dependent on degenerate
stupidity, of which there is not much left in the spank tank.
Add in the Corrupt Oligarchy Inbred Cult of Insiders and Political
Grifters and we've got one enormous and very Toxic cocktail for

The Range is quite large, given the large decline in NQ from 16767

NasdaqI think we are in an ending diagonal within the primary 4th wave position. Inside of the larger intermediate ABC.
LTF daily chart looks like we have lost the lower TL of the ending diagonal in what should become an overthrow on the weekly TF.
Currently working on the Z wave which is the strongest wave of the WXYXZ pattern which usually sends the price up or down depending on whether or not the WXYXZ pattern is bullish or bearish.
After wave Z a strong reversal hits. This is what my chart implies.
RMSLAs of right now the 5 up off the dump looks bearish in nature.
Likely an A wave on the daily as part of a zig zag ABC correction and we are now finished with wave B.
The C wave can extend past the recent highs and the bulls can flip the 5 up in a HTF wave 1,2 and start a 3 wave off the recent lows.
But gun to my head that's not likely anytime soon.

More spending as the Inflation / DisInflation tug o' war is underway won't give way until the August / September

Presently, on average - Corporations are losing at a rate of decline of 163% as Costs of goods sold

TECH is not immune to the phenomena, it is not special. By way of Fact, it is far more susceptible to

With EPS ahead - Big Tech can likely see another attempt at a large Throw Over Short Squeeze (TOSS)
only to crash back to lower lows, significantly lower into September thru October.
Apple's Gap @ 155 can fill, and Tesla can trade over its recent high although Eron is Burning down the House.

The Economy... it's terminal, we'll see if Sentiment agrees and dips in below 50 or does the Chef at the
