NASDAQ: Dancing on the Edge of a Techno-Financial TightropeMarket Overview
The NASDAQ-100 (NDX) has recently corrected by approximately 5.5% from its all-time high of 22,133 on December 16, 2024. This comes after a historic rally driven by resilient megacap technology stocks, robust earnings, and the continued dominance of AI-led innovation.
Despite the correction, the index remains up 18% year-to-date, outpacing broader indices like the S&P 500, fueled by optimism around productivity-enhancing technologies. However, macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds could temper this growth into 2025.
Technical Analysis
Trendlines
Short-Term: The NDX remains in a rising trend channel since March 2023, with the lower boundary around 20,500 acting as critical support. A recent breach of its 21-day moving average suggests growing bearish momentum.
Long-Term: The index's long-term trendline, extending from the pandemic lows in 2020, remains intact, underscoring investor confidence in the broader tech narrative.
Key Levels
Support
Immediate support: 20,790 (50-day moving average).
Strong support: 20,500 (trendline and Fibonacci retracement zone).
Resistance
Near-term resistance: 21,900 (upper boundary of rising wedge).
Critical resistance: 22,133 (all-time high).
Momentum Indicators
RSI: Declining from overbought territory (currently at 64), signaling potential for further downside before resetting to neutral.
MACD: A bearish crossover suggests weakening momentum in the near term.
Macroeconomic Context
Interest Rates
The Federal Reserve has maintained its hawkish stance, with the terminal rate hovering around 5.75%. While inflation has moderated to 2.4%, core inflation remains sticky at 2.8%, keeping rate cuts off the table until mid-2025.
Elevated borrowing costs could weigh on tech valuations, particularly for growth companies reliant on cheap capital.
Economic Growth
U.S. GDP growth is forecasted to decelerate from 2.6% in 2024 to 1.8% in 2025, reflecting weaker consumer spending and tighter financial conditions. This slowdown could dampen earnings growth across the NASDAQ-100 constituents.
Corporate Earnings
Analysts expect NDX earnings growth of 8% in 2025, down from the blistering 14% in 2024, as cost pressures and a plateauing of AI-related tailwinds take hold.
Geopolitical Landscape
China-U.S. Relations
Increasing tensions over Taiwan and heightened scrutiny of U.S. tech exports to China remain a wildcard. Any escalation could disrupt semiconductor supply chains and impact heavyweights like Nvidia and AMD.
Europe
Persistent instability in Eastern Europe and ongoing energy challenges pose risks to multinational tech firms with significant operations or customers in the region.
Middle East
Geopolitical uncertainty stemming from conflicts in the Middle East has kept oil prices elevated (~$95/barrel). Higher energy costs could indirectly affect tech earnings by squeezing consumer and corporate budgets.
2025 Outlook
Base Case
The NASDAQ-100 ends 2025 up 8–12%, driven by resilient demand for cloud computing, generative AI, and green technology innovations. Support from stable core earnings growth and moderating inflation provides a favorable backdrop.
Bear Case
Prolonged high interest rates, coupled with weaker-than-expected global growth, lead to a flat or mildly negative year. Key risks include geopolitical flare-ups, regulatory actions on Big Tech, and waning investor enthusiasm for speculative assets.
Bull Case
A dovish pivot by the Federal Reserve in H2 2025, alongside breakthrough advancements in AI or biotechnology, propels the index to new highs (~24,000).
Conclusion
The NASDAQ-100 is entering 2025 with a cautiously optimistic outlook, balanced between robust technological trends and mounting macro/geopolitical risks. Investors should monitor key support at 20,500 and resistance at 21,900 as barometers of sentiment. While near-term volatility is likely, the index remains a cornerstone for long-term growth portfolios.
For 2025, the focus is on being smart: diligent monitoring, disciplined allocations, and adapting to shifting conditions.

Outlook
Market (Sectors) Performance OutlookSince November 6th, we’ve witnessed a seismic shift in the market landscape, with crypto breaking through and outperforming the broader market. 📈
The sectors leading the charge against the S&P 500 are XLY, XLE, XLF, XLC, and XLK. Notably, the MAG 7 have also been outpacing the market since November 7th. 💪
Smart money seems to be flowing into crypto, contributing to the sell-off in the S&P 500.
From a macroeconomic perspective, XLK and XLC have been market leaders for the past few months. However, it might be time to pivot towards the Energy sector, especially after a stellar earnings season where major E&P companies smashed their earnings estimates. ⚡️
Stay tuned and ready to capitalize on these dynamic market movements! 📊💼
GBPUSD Understanding The StructureThe wedge like structure still in play and if price continues to trade within this structure. Then downside is less likely and eventually after a short correction to the downside we may see the Gbp make a sharp comeback against the Usd making it interesting to see a new top form within the structure. Please understand this is not financial advise/trading signal or even a Trade plan, simply speculation based on Trend lines and anticipation price behavior in a what if the structure remains intact scenario. Should the structure break the outlook can change and right now as it stands. I'm on the sidelines watching this pair.

BTC Dumps to 56K - Extreme Fear in the Market!GM crypto bro's! This morning, BTC has dumped again to 56K. The Fear and Greed Index is in the extreme fear zone at 22, and it looks like the Stochastic RSI won't be leaving the oversold area anytime soon.
That's why I always remind you to stay cautious in this highly volatile crypto market, because anything can happen. Based on the current price action, the probability of dropping below 54K seems low, as mentioned in the market update on 02/09/2024.
But remember, this is just my personal analysis and only a probability. As always, maintain your risk management, and that's all for today's crypto update. This is Akki, signing off with one chart. Have a nice day!
Shot Calling no1I've been away quite some time,. working on strategy and just growing accounts.
This is to serve as a trade record for forex. I also trade futures, but that is too fast for here.
Current Active Trade:
Current setup is I have a short from 1.08023, entered yesterday post NFP. Thinking the extension is a clean breakout from the triangle pattern over the last week to take price long overall, but first we need to retrace.
Target:
1.074 for the short and then head for a long entry (Limit Price Set)
Looking for price to come back and then react long from 1.074 & continue making upwards pushes.
Account size: $1500 (EUR, Reset for the month back to...)
Current Entry Sizes 0.07 Lot
Risk: Rule of thumb 0.01 per $250, Previous balance before reset was 1848.53/250 = 0.07, keeping size currently in play.
Red lines mark sells:
The additional red lines above the entry are for protection. There is no stop loss on any position, ever. These are additional sells at the same size as the original entry.
Should this entry not work, price will either head up and catch the next level up at 1.086 (Trading view moved my lines back after I already set them, not going to fight it not saving 😤 they're close enough) and add short another 0.07, or it will miss the second entry, come back to target & we just have drawdown, boo hoo.
Should it fail completely, the third entry will get taken at 1.0976 for short.
How this is "Protection":
Math, in simple terms. It's a manipulation of breakeven on position. If the second entry gets triggered, the breakeven point is between the two entries. If the third short is also hit, then the breakeven is where the second entry is placed. These are exit points later should things go wrong.
The major breakout and peaks are "insurance" where we will 99% for sure get a reaction to the downside, it's just natural resistance behavior.
Same goes for the next trade, same idea with the blue lines already planned, should this succeed we go to no2, fail we make a different no2 idea.
Trading at or very near to the yellow lines (clear and obvious levels) & using educated guessing for reasoning (technical analysis or just a simple "seen this before" approach) Keeping it really simple.
Method of Madness:
Support: buy
Resistance: sell
Add in if wrong at the next level
Hedge: Not forgotten, but avoid use if at all possible (Trap situation that hurts more than helps)
Only act on levels, near levels, or extreme event points (breakouts/peak points)
USDCHF: Multiple Rejections, Strong Bullish Leg ExpectedPrice has recently rejected support on multiple occasions, and a double bottom pattern appears to be emerging on the daily (D) timeframe. Additionally, multiple rejections on the 4-hour (4H) timeframe further strengthen our bullish bias. I expect the price to continue in a strong upward trajectory.
**Rationale:**
~ Breakout of Descending Channel (D)
~ Retest of Support (D)
~ Break of Uptrend line (D)
~ Double Bottom Pattern (D)
~ Retest of Support (4H)
~ Rejection Candlesticks (4H)
**Disclaimer:**
My trading ideas are market predictions and therefore should be viewed as such. As an intraday trader (scalper), I use my observations to identify potential trade opportunities on the higher time frames. I then aim to pinpoint key entry points on the lower time frames. Entries should always be verified by additional confirmations.

USDCHF: Key Level Rejection, Retracement ExpectedPrice recently broke out of the daily (D) descending channel. It then pushed up to meet the daily (D) 50% Fibonacci retracement level, converging with resistance. Price then rejected this level and pushed down to retest support before breaking out of the four-hour (4H) downtrend line. Price then pushed up and reached the daily (D) key level and converged with yet another 50% Fibonacci level. Price seems to be rejecting this level, highlighting temporary reversal and suggesting a possible retracement. I expect price to temporarily retrace to around the 38.2% level before continuing to the upside.
**Rationale:**
~ Breakout of Channel (D)
~ Retest of Support (D)
~ Break of Trendline
~ Retest of Support
~ Rejection Candlesticks
~ Break of Nested Trendline
~ 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement

Huge waterfall coming this week for Gold be ready !!GOLD may retest 2318 area and complete an inverted head and shoulders, and then head up to resistance level which lines up perfectly on trendline resistance AND lines up perfectly at the 61.8% Fibonacci level, this is a very interesting level for these 3 lining up this trendline has been valid for months and very strong trendline resistance that has been tested multiple times. I suspect GOLD will plummet down to 2300-2280 by the end of this week, probably during London session as from my personal experience I have seen this happen multiple times and have taken this opportunity to profit off this pattern
moreover the DXY has been making impulses to the upside and healthy retracements to continue with another impulse this week if the trend continues, keeping on eye on news to support this bias and watching these levels on particular the 2340-2350 area
USDCHF: Key Level Rejection, Fibonacci Retracement ExpectedPrice recently broke out of the daily (D) descending channel. It then pushed up to meet the daily (D) 50% Fibonacci retracement level, converging with resistance. Price then rejected this level and pushed down to retest support before breaking out of the four-hour (4H) downtrend line, suggesting strong bullish momentum. Price then pushed up and reached the daily (D) key level and converged with yet another 50% Fibonacci level. Price has proceeded to reject this level, highlighting temporary reversal and suggesting a possible retracement. I expect price to temporarily retrace to around the 38.2% level before continuing to the upside.

**Rationale:**
~ (L1): Breakout of channel (D)
~ (L2): Retest of support (D)
~ (L3): Break of trendline (4H)
~ (L4): Retest of support

USDCAD: Multiple rejections, temporary bullish biasPrice has recently rejected the daily (D) ascending channel support level. Price then pushed up and broke out of the one-hour (1H) descending channel to form a higher high. Price then pulled back to retest support, forming a higher low. I expect price to continue to the upside.
**Rationale:**
- Ascending Channel Support (D)
- Multiple Rejections
- Elliott Wave Completion
- Descending Channel Breakout (1H)
- Higher High
- Retest of Support
- Higher Low

NZDUSD Possible retest and continuation to the downsideThe price recently broke out of the ascending channel (4H) and went on to retest the recent swing high, creating an Equal High (EQH). It then rejected the wedge (W) and downtrend line (M) resistance convergence and continued to push downward. Currently, the price is converging with resistance and the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. We anticipate that the price may continue to reject this resistance area and push further to the downside.
**Rationale:**
~ Wedge (W) and downtrend line (M) resistance convergence
~ Multiple rejections of resistance
~ Shallow pullback (Fib 38.2%) resistance convergence
~ Possible retest
~ Possible lower low formation

AUDUSD: Multiple Rejections, Potential ReversalPrice has recently rejected this level multiple times. As-well-as multiple rejections and long-wick candlesticks, we have a rounding top chart pattern. I anticipate price will continue to reject this level and eventually breakout of the uptrend line, suggesting a bearish bias.
**Rationale:**
~ Area of resistance
~ Multiple rejections
~ Long-wick candlesticks
~ Rounding top
~ Break of trendline

Date: 14/06/2024
Symbol: GBPUSD
Timeframe: 4H
Type: Technical analysis
Direction: Bullish (Temporarily)
Style: Day trading / intraday
. . .
We're seeing a rejection at 1.27082. I'll look for a retest around 1.27496. If the price gains momentum or is influenced by economic news, it could reach 1.27833 before hitting strong resistance and moving down. I expect the price to complete the E of the A-B-C-D-E wedge pattern on the weekly chart.

Comments :
Positive Lok Sabha Election result expectation, Global trend helped sustaining the market above 22000.
Recent Electoral bonds, CAA implementation news couldnt make the market down as market is confident that current govt will win more than halfway mark, continue govt post election without any additional support of other parties so that govt can be confident enough to take decisions. Hence whenever there is a dip in the market, continue to buy on small quanties till post election survey results are revealed on Jun1- Jun 3rd and Jun 4th Election results.
Hence market is in good buy whenever there is a dip. Post Elections, only way Market will start grow higher by reduction of interest rate by RBI on a staggered manner till it reaches 5%. US fed rate reduction also expected from Jun/ Sep 2024. Market may correct if any global news till 19500 as there is strong multiple fib support in this range.
Nifty IT broke the Major support at 32935. Nifty IT Stocks like TCS, Infosys, Wipro gave muted results in Q4 2024. Can be added for short rally as it fell sharply, however strictly for long term and also in portions slowly on each fall ( say 5-10% of total investment in IT stocks). Whenever there is such dips and new lows ( in the last 1 year) We can add slowly considering 2-3 years. It need to break above 38000 needed to further move up. Future of technology stocks are in high pressure due to AI as it is reflecting in US and Indian technology stocks. Especially Indian IT stocks is in a non decisive path and downtrend.ifty Short, Medium & Long Term View- 13-May-24 to 17-May-24

May Market Outlook, Sectors Rotation, Relative Strength AnalysisSince February, the commodities asset class has surged ahead, overshadowing the S&P 500's faltering performance. This notable shift in market dynamics underscores the resilience and strength exhibited by commodities during this period.
Of particular interest are the XLE and XLU sectors, which have emerged as frontrunners since early March. This transition coincided with the decline in momentum of previously dominant sectors like XLK and SMH (refer to Fig. 2). Notably, XLE and XLU, characterized as growth defensive sectors, have thrived amidst market downturns. Investing in commodities and energy/utility sectors during these phases could have yielded significant profits, with select energy stocks boasting returns exceeding 25%, while the S&P 500 experienced an approximate 10% decline.
Looking ahead to May, it's anticipated that XLE and XLU will maintain their market leadership, albeit with a slight loss in momentum. However, investors are advised to remain vigilant as these sectors may soon witness a change in dynamics. It's crucial to employ stop limit orders to safeguard profits in such volatile conditions.
Following the current trajectory, XLY, XLRE, and XLF are poised to emerge as significant players in the market cycle (refer to Fig. 3&4). However, it's important to note that these sectors are susceptible to rapid momentum shifts, particularly when XLK and XLC regain momentum.
Looking towards June, indications suggest that XLK and XLC will likely regain prominence in the market. For buy-and-hold investors, this presents an opportune moment to consider purchasing assets during market dips.
Considering these market dynamics, my top investment picks are (TSLA), (GOOG), (AAPL), (ORCL), and Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO). These companies demonstrate strong growth potential, especially when timed strategically to align with sector rotation leadership shifts.
JOE / USDT Update 05/04/2024Honestly, no idea, even smallest...or it was a premature end of short order or it is going to "HIT" TP....
Personally me? I did "cash in" already...chasing the "crumbs" could lead to the loosing all pack of the bread...Simply I do not like pointless gambling... or... it is simply lack of the patience... not so sure...
G-Money's short version analysis based purely on technical analysis only, no nonsense or "BS":
PS, general advice: ( 1 ) Remember: recommended re-enter area is between Stop Loss (ST) & Entry Point.
( 2 ) If price went half way between Entry Point & Take Profit (TP), be patient please & wait for price retracement to ( 1 )- EP-SL area or for the next new set up ;)
Congratulaions to all traders with profits again! ;)
