Nasdaq100 what now episode 16Look at the chart above.. Gibberish! That's all I see. Today has been the absolute worst in terms of structure. It's Funny how it's a clear down-trend on the 4-hour even the daily. But the bulls aren't giving it a rest. Break-outs with no retest. Both parties are in a tug-of-war. If you take a sell, you lose; if you take a buy, you lose. Listen! I feel like today's a deciding day though. The bears aren't giving up neither are the---bulls.
The 4-hour time-frame however has a lower-lo hanging waiting to see if the might bulls can break the 13573 daily 23% fib level structure. What the actual hell is going on?
The daily is really close to the 0% at 13079 but the bulls said, "No sir". The weekly however, has failed to break past previous lower-lows at 13,000. Every time-frame with own madness. Today has taught me numerous lessons. The most vital still remain these two: 1. Anything can happen and 2. No two market movements will be the same. Every market's movement is unique.
I really don't know who will win today but.. If there's a break, I'll like to be on the winning side.
Love,
Lazyluchi for Nasdaqgods.

Nasdaq100 what now episode 15"This week, the trading plan still remains the same. Little tweak though. Firstly, know the over-all direction. For this one—my best bet is downwards. honestly, the weekly looks more confused as ever. There’s a possibility that we might get a higher-low but until that’s established, I’ll be taking my sells. Secondly, Marking major HHs/HLs and LHs/LLs. Looking to see rejections on the daily to give me a signal as to what these bears are really doing. Then for the time-frame task, The weekly and daily: directions, The hour 4: rejections, the 15 minutes: entries. Then I wait for them confirmations and execute! Hope that goes well? "..
My Trading plan for last week. Did that go well? Yes sir! Listen—I feel like all my year and the half of trading Nasdaq100 “professionally” last week has been my best so far. There’s one thing I realized though, That is: Follow your plan. Look, you got a plan? follow that guy. Don’t change nun ‘in.. Just—follow! I noticed how much that sky-rocketed my performance. Honestly, Nasdaq100 this week, we might all just be going for a funeral. “Why?” You’re probably wondering, Well, did you see how it ended. The lady dropped like 3% from last week. Close to 2,ooo points or more. The Nasdaq100 is currently at 13319 (as I write this) and I don’t even think we’re done. You know that Inverse head and shoulder that showed up? Destroyed! The weekly time-frame presently is currently looking to get past the previous Lower-low at (13319) The next level—13,000 isn’t far-fetched. The daily 0% fib level at 13079: isn’t as well. The bears are really wilding. The CBOE NASDAQ100 VOLATILITY INDEX is real bullish now! Dude is almost at 37 points. Imagine going to 40, where do you think the Nasdaq will be?
Look at this picture, tell me what you see: for me, A broken possible bullish structure. A double top with new lower-highs and a possible continuation to create a new lower-low. Screaming “BEARS”!!!.. Monday was all chill, I mean there wasn’t any news. Funny how we got a pin-bar on Monday on the daily time-frame. The bulls came in for a bit. No news release; No crazy movement. However, this all went left on Tuesday, April 19th, 2022. By 13:30, we got the Building Permits which turned out positive with a 1.873M reading. That brought the bulls in. We all thought: “Finally the bulls are back”. Uh! too soon. Wednesday, 20th April, 2022 appeared mixed after a negative Existing home sales with a 5.77M reading and a positive Crude oil inventories by 15:30 with a -8.02M reading. The daily left a rejection candle after that. Coincidence—Uh! maybe not. Furthermore the dreadful Thursday. I called it that because you seriously need to see it’s reaction. The bullish tables flipped. Them legs got broken, shattered into a million pieces. Even started getting termite holes and stuff. The bears came in growling after the negative Initial Jobless claims with a 184K reading by 13:30 as if that wasn’t enough, the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index also turned out negative with a 17.6 reading. Less than 3-hours after came the Fed news. Twice! Look the market bled. Never seen in years. The Nasdaq100 screamed but I don’t even think any-one cared to listen. Shii! we all were trying to make some buck. On Friday, That was just a continuation. The bears continued and now looking to create another lower-low. What’s my plan? Same old. Weekly and Daily: Directions. I mean since we’re really bearish now, I might as well keeping looking for sells. As long as, we don’t pass the previous Lower-high at: 13700 (4-hour lower-high) I’m selling. So, I’ll be looking for new highs on the 4-hour. Then, I’ll be going to the 15 to look for entries. Let’s see how that goes. Don’t miss my streams though!
Nasdaq100 High Impact News For 25th-29th Of April, 2022
You’re probably wondering, “what should we expect?” Don’t worry—I’ll tell you. This week, as usual, The Monday is free from demons. Tuesday however, This is where all the madness starts. The 26th April, 2022 by 13:30, We’ve got the Core Durable Goods Order. This measure the change in the total value of new orders for long lasting manufactured goods, excluding transportation items. A higher reading indicates increased manufacturing which is bullish for the USD. Also same day; different time. By 15:00, we’ve got the New Home Sales. This measure the annualized number of new single family homes that were sold during the previous month. P.S: This particular repot tend to have more impact when it’s released ahead of existing home sales because the reports are tightly co-related. However, a higher reading is bullish for the USD. Same time, doesn’t end. Y’all be mindful of Tuesday then. We’ve got the CB Consumer’s Confidence. It measures the level of consumer’s confidence in economic activity. A higher reading=Higher consumer’s optimism which is also bullish for the USD.

Same day; different time. By 15:30, Crude Oil Inventories.😒(again?) Anyway this guy, we all know what he does. A higher reading is weak for the USD. Therefore, bearish. The level of inventories influences the price of petroleum products, which can have an impact on inflation. Finally, Dreadful Thursday. The 28th of April, 2022 by 13:30, we’ve got Initial Jobless Claims 🤦♀️(Y’all already know, I’ll just repeat) This measure the number of individuals who filed for unemployment insurance for the first time during the past-week.

Nasdaq100 What Now Episode 11Who’s In The Nasdaq And What Are They Doing?
Hey traders, so last week was really “Bearish with lot of annoying ranges”.. The major structure though, bearish. That didn’t stop the bulls from just messing around with “#ME!”. Pretty annoying.. Haha. Anyway, the plan was bearish until there was a reason to buy—that’s what I did. Although, Tuesday changed that plan.
Before I dive into that, These were my exact words for last week—“.. since all levels are pointing downwards, even the relative strength index are all below 50%, I'll be taking more of sells till there's a change in the trend. If the Nasdaq100 gives us a higher-low instead of lower-low, then BUYS!!!..”
The Nasdaq100 never gave is that Higher-low. Instead, the lady just kept falling like she fell off the Dubai’s Burj Khalifa’s Balcony. Rubbish!!! 😂😩
Anyway, back to Tuesday. The CPI (consumer’s price index). Dude! (In peter parker’s voice) This CPI ain’t a joke though. You know how I said the Bears came in—but the bulls didn’t stop fooling around. It’s this guy’s fault. The Bulls went wild after the “negative 0.3%” release of the Consumer’s Price Index. I started wondering, what is this? Negative news with a positive reaction. Little did I know that it was all a re-group. In less than minutes—The bears 🐻 got their Mojo back. “Mutha-heffas”.This fight went on for a while though. On Wednesday came the PPI although 1.4% positive, the bears didn’t stop fighting their way back. Wouldn’t blame them after that negative 9.382 million Crude Oil Inventories release news. Guess what! Mixed.
That was the reaction of that one—we started going side-ways man. Then came Thursday’s News release: Retail sales with negative 0.5%, Core retail sales with positive 1.1%, and Finally, Initial Jobless claims with negative 185 thousand.. Hmm—that Jobless rate though. Gave the bears more strength in getting back. These guys took the market real low back to the 38% (13894) daily fib and even went past it. It seemed like the bulls finally got their strength but sorry they got attacked almost immediately.
This week, the trading plan still remains the same. Little tweak though. Firstly, know the over-all direction. For this one---my best bet is downwards. honestly, the weekly looks more confused as ever. There's a possibility that we might get a higher-low but until that's established, I'll be taking my sells. Secondly, Marking major HHs/HLs and LHs/LLs. Looking to see rejections on the daily to give me a signal as to what these bears are really doing. Then for the time-frame task, The weekly and daily: directions, The hour 4: rejections, the 15 minutes: entries. Then I wait for them confirmations and execute! Hope that goes well? The relative strength index is actually below 50% n all these time-frames and the fibs below the 50%. Till then, I'll be looking at that 13583 daily fib level. Now, the news..
Nasdaq100 High Impact News For 18th-22th Of April, 2022
On Monday 18th of April, 2022. There will be no high impact news for this guy. However, Tuesday the 19th, by 13:30 GMT---We've got "The Building Permits". The Building Permits measures the change in the number of new building permits issued by the government. Building permits are a key indicator of demand in the housing market. A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD.
Wednesday, 20th April,2022. By 15:00 GMT, The gist is Existing Home sales. A brief: Existing Home Sales measures the change in the annualized number of existing residential buildings that were sold during the previous month. This report helps to gauge the strength of the U.S. housing market and is a key indicator of overall economic strength. A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD.
Still Wednesday and the crude oil inventories holds by 15:30 GMT. A Brief: The Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Crude Oil Inventories measures the weekly change in the number of barrels of commercial crude oil held by US firms. The level of inventories influences the price of petroleum products, which can have an impact on inflation. If the increase in crude inventories is more than expected, it implies weaker demand and is bearish for crude prices. The same can be said if a decline in inventories is less than expected. If the increase in crude is less than expected, it implies greater demand and is bullish for crude prices. The same can be said if a decline in inventories is more than expected.
Further-more, Thursday the 21st of April, 2022. Around 13:30 GMT, My all time favorite (only because it's frequent) will take place. Here's a brief incase you forgot---Initial Jobless Claims measures the number of individuals who filed for unemployment insurance for the first time during the past week. This is the earliest U.S. economic data, but the market impact varies from week to week. A higher than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD.
Same day; same time is the Philadelphia Federal Reserve. The Philadelphia Federal Reserve Manufacturing Index rates the relative level of general business conditions in Philadelphia. A level above zero on the index indicates improving conditions; below indicates worsening conditions. The data is compiled from a survey of about 250 manufacturers in the Philadelphia Federal Reserve district. A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD.
Finally, same day but by 16:00 and 18:00 respectively. We'll be having a back-to-back FED meeting. Here's a brief---Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell (Feb. 2018 – Feb. 2022) is to speak. As head of the Fed, which controls short term interest rates, he has more influence over the U.S. dollar's value than any other person. Traders closely watch his speeches as they are often used to drop hints regarding future monetary policy.

Weekly chart:
On the daily however, the Nasdaq100 has actually broken pass the 50 and 38% fib. The next "23%" which is --- 13583. Furthermore, we probably will get there before the weekly 0%. If we get to the weekly first, then big bears!!!

Nasdaq100 What Now Episode 7Hey chat, So the bulls came out of hiding during the CORE CPI which had a low reading by the way. I actually thought that was weird till the bears returned. Anyway, do you see that we finally got a gap fill in VXN. What are the freaking odds right? The fib levels have been pretty useful lately. The 50 and 38% daily fib have all been hit. However, we got a bounce off the 38 which gave room for a double bottom on lower tim-frames. Again, what are the odds?
Now, all I can say is let's wait to see what these Bullish signs mean. First a bullish divergence, now a double bottom.. Hmm! finally, what are the "damn" odds?
For the news:
We've got the PPI by 13:30 GMT and Crude oil Inventories by 15:30 GMT.. Don't ignore your fundamentals and sentiments!
Do me a favor and smash the like button, be sure to follow me, and leave a comment---I love reading those.

Nasdaq100 What Now Episode 6Hey chat, so the Nasdaq100 is currently still bearish as the bears are still pushing. The weekly 23% and Daily 50% got smashed today which are 14044 and 14146 respectively. Now, the bears are looking at the weekly 0% and daily 38% which are: 13319 and 13894 respectively. The bulls coming back might really be a huge surprise. However, for now, I don't see any sign except this little bullish divergence which ended being a little pullback.
Anyway, welcome 14k Nasdaq100.

Nasdaq 100 What Now Episode 5Who’s In The Nasdaq And What Are They Doing?
Last week, the Nasdaq100 fell. In the previous episodes I said, “I’ll be looking to short the Nasdaq100 if the 15,000 remains a resistance. Shorting it to next support level at 14,680. However, if that 15,000 turns support, I’ll be looking to buy the return of the bulls—at least back to 15,200. What do you think?”.. Well, as you saw, the bears won. I took more of sells than buys because of that. However, the Nasdaq100 played with me a little bit before it went my way. Anyway, no chit (haha). In the previous news, We kicked off with the ISM Manufacturing PMI which turned out with a negative 58.3 reading.. This gave strength to this Nasdaq100 bears. Albeit, There’s this double top with a lower high that formed on the weekly, then—on the daily—The 4-hour took a while before it reacted to that. Back to the news, we also had crude oil inventories which also popped up negative. It had a 2.421 negative reading. Furthermore, A mixed market turned up on Wednesday during the FOMC.. The Nasdaq100 bulls switched up on these bears. We ended the week with a positive JOBLESS CLAIMS funny how that threw me off balance. I wondered.. if the bulls were back only for the bears to turn those tables real quick.
What is the plan then?
Honestly, I ‘ll be waiting for the Monday to give me a taste of what to expect. However, since all levels are pointing downwards, even the relative strength index are all below 50%, I’ll be taking more of sells till there’s a change in the trend. If the Nasdaq100 gives us a higher-low instead of lower-low, then BUYS!!! Let’s see what gist this week has install for us. Hold-up, Not ending this one without speaking the VXN (Volatility index for Nasdaq100). Well, hmm, it hasn’t exactly been reliable only because it only opens during US market open and even opens with a gap most times. However, I realized it’s best we analyze that as well. The VXN’s Fib and RSI levels: On the weekly, the RSI is currently at 50.54, Daily-46.76, 240-49.54.. You can see that the bulls 0f VXN seem to be prepping. As for fib (Fibonacci) levels, check last heading.

Nasdaq 100 What Now Episode 4Alright traders, first of, what is Nasdaq doing? These bulls are bears are at it again and I can't help but wonder what they plan on doing. The bulls have gotten to 14322 which was an initial higher-low plan but it's looking like there's a problem. Accumulation phase with bears looking stronger. Daily showing signs of an inverse head and shoulder.. Just got a bullish divergence pattern.
What now?
The VXN hit a wall and bears trooped down as well. It's looking bearish however, not exactly confirmed. Still on the side-line with my pack watching these one.

Nasdaq 100 What Now Episode 3Hey traders, If you're seeing this one, it means I was able to post this. The Nasdaq 100 dropped 2% after that double top showed up. I described what looks like an inverse head and shoulder forming, where the bulls are going for that higher-low.
The VXN on the other hand hit a resistance at 30.50 and if this is just a retest to the 28 point support, then the VXN bulls will be back and the Nasdaq 100 bears will take us for another rude.
I see a 14200 reach, however, I'm keeping an open-mind to the whole situation.
Yesterday's FOMC gave us a gap-fill then a continuation to the downside. Some fed officials wanted a 0.5% rate hike to arrest inflation quickly.
Investors became unnerved by the idea of the increase causing an effect on the Nasdaq although, not a news fan but maybe.. That got a reaction.
Look at this plan:

Nasdaq 100 What Now Episode 2Hey Traders, today was messy but I pulled through anyway, Look at the new idea I've got. Currently, the VXN is headed for support making the Nasdaq100 bullish. However, don't really know what supports holds. I'll be taking longs till then.
If the 15200 level is retained that would mean something else. Watch to see my bias.

Nasdaq What Now?
Hey Traders, the Nasdaq100 has created a new Higher-high at 15200 leaving a strong resistance at that level. The Initial jobless claims today came up with a 202k negative reading. The VXN on the other hand, is looking great at that support level although, we might resume the bearish trend soon. There's NFP tomorrow and I can't stop thinking of what the outcome would be. Anyway, I will be looking to sell if the bullish-wedge-trend-line breaks at support. My target: 14600. Conversely, I'll be looking to buy if the trend holds at support to the next resistance at 15400..

Nasdaq 100 What Now?Who’s In The Nasdaq And What Are They Doing?
Nasdaq bulls are succeeding! I mean, most of the anticipated resistance in last week’s chat.. Have all broken and turned into support. On the 240, you can see the clear uptrend (higher-highs and lows)—However, there’s a wedge and bearish divergence. Furthermore, the Nasdaq 100 has been respecting said, “wedge” through-out last week. A possible 15,000 coming through. But, the usual “buts”.. This particular “but” is that of: a higher-low daily creation.
Remember I talked about the fact that we’ve got the bulls in the market—hence we need higher-lows to confirm their validity. Well, this might just be it.
A possible outcome: The market opens on Monday bulls are still hovering.. We get a move to 15,000. Yeah! everyone’s happy. Then—comes the bears. The big retest, the big pull, I mean: the daily still needs it’s higher-low—right? This pull determines the bulls strength. My support zones are: 14300/200. Support holds, everyone goes long, support break—panic starts. If the bulls win, The next resistance zone: 15400 creates a new higher-high and.. We’re bullish baby!
Similarly, if bulls fail, Then I will.. We should start another panic sell because—what’s their exact purpose? Haha, let’s see how it turns out. Next up, Major news, use that to know what the market’s decision will be. Don’t take trades during a major news so be notified.
Nasdaq100 High Impact News
Lot to comes this week. The end of March and beginning of a new dawn (April). Let’s see.. Monday is the only day that’s free of a major news. Oh! my, News packed week I see.
Tuesday, March 29th, 2022–By 15:00. We’ve got; Cb consumer confidence—“Cb” stands for: conference board. This major news measures the sentiment of surveyed consumers on economic conditions. The market reacts to this because—Consumer optimism is directly related to consumer’s spending, hence—it makes up for a large part of the country’s economic activities.
Wednesday, March 30th, 2022. At 13:15, We have the ADP national employment report. The Automatic data processing National Employment Report is a measure of the monthly change in non-farm, private employment, based on the payroll data of approximately 400,000 U.S. business clients. The release, two days ahead of government data, is a good predictor of the government’s non-farm payroll report. The change in this indicator can be very volatile.

Nasdaq100 Weekly Review Hey y'all so I wasn't at my finest this week. Had loads of technical issues and I couldn't keep up. Haha! occupational hazard. Anyway, I was able to take a trade that gave me some great pips. This week, the bulls took us by surprise. This is how my week went, How did yours?
P.S: After this video, stay tuned for the strategy used and how to apply it.
NQ/MNQ Breakout or Breakdown?Bulls have had a nice and surprising push after fomc to the upside this week. Will be watching if price respects the DT line and will consider this an uptrend day in a bear market instead of an official uptrend reversal period until DT line is broken and value created above. I like longs above 500 as there is plenty of space for bulls to prop this up above there and short below 340, however, closed the day in key supply zone. Currently also sitting at 61% fib and will see if it can create value above 61% and push to 50% or reject below 61% going into next week. No bias, following the price/momentum and playing what the market gives us going into next week. With fomc, recent geo-political events and simply no news for this run-up, next week will should bring more volatility as well.
