QQQ

QQQ - Short SwingAfter 18 months of bull run, it is time for a solid correction. In my previous post from February 2023, I outlined my rough count and levels for the last wave up, here are my thoughts for the way down: Assuming we go down, we will likely see last attempts of distribution and maybe another notch up. Some sellers may still need buy orders to fill. This could result in volatile days, nasty dojis, et cetera. I will short every blow off attempt given the RR. No idea how long it takes. If it feels like an eternity, double that. Deep pockets do not care about time. Volume has declined since the last leg up. We might see a sharp move down first, and then take it easy on the second leg. Third or last might be nasty. Nice for day traders, irrelevant swing traders. I have looked at a lot more than you can see in charts. My main target is 360ish (~30%). If that breaks, we might go for 336. If hell breaks lose for whatever reason, sub 300, or lower. There will be outperformers and underperformers, like in this last leg up. Yes, AI is great however, actual value to enterprises and monetisation of it remain to be seen, and we have not even started to regulate or legislate the crap out of it. I might be wrong; surely hope so for permabulls out there but I cannot see any bullish signs here no matter how hard I look. Good Luck

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade for 7-18 - CRUSH : Answering Questions Everyone has been messaging me this morning... And I expect that to happen, especially on a day like today. First, most people are asking me if I changed my expectations related to the counter-trend CRUSH pattern. The answer is NO - I don't usually alter my analysis. If the pattern does not do what I expect, I'm usually just sitting on the sidelines waiting for the pattern to be set up. Second, understanding Trending vs. Counter-Trending. Remember, I use a 3 to 5-day average trend when I'm trying to identify the direction of trend. I don't like to look too far back because I've seen these patterns react to very short-term trend changes. I still see the Counter-Trend CRUSH pattern as generally bullish. Today's early morning downward trend is a flash of buyers/longs. Lastly, when would I try to enter any trades today? This video clearly shows why I would wait for the $555.50+ level to be breached before I try to enter any LONG trades. I don't try to pick tops or bottoms. I've seen that/done that before, and it usually ends up VERY BAD (lol). If that's what you want to do - go for it. Me? I'm going to wait for some type of confirmation of the upward price trend and wait out this downward price trend. Once I get solid confirmation of an uptrend, then I may consider jumping into some Longs or Calls. You don't have to trade like a Banshee every day. All you need to do is find one or two good trades daily (if they show up). Tomorrow is another day full of opportunities. So, sit back - watch this video, and learn to be patient. Oh, and don't try to stand in front of a freight train - you'll get RUN OVER. #trading #research #investing #tradingalgos #tradingsignals #cycles #fibonacci #elliotwave #modelingsystems #stocks #bitcoin #btcusd #cryptos #spy #es #nq #gold

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Major CRUSH Pattern UpdatePlease be very cautious with today's Major CRUSH pattern. These are usually very big-range price bars, and they can be very dangerous if you are caught on the wrong side of a trend. I suggest trading with only 25~50% of your normal capital if you are unsure how you want to trade. This CRUSH pattern will likely result in a larger open~close range than yesterday. We are trying to see if price will hold above the $554~$555 support level. If so, we may see the counter-trend Major CRUSH pattern play out as a rally bar later today. If not, be prepared for a further breakdown in price. We must see that the $554~555 level acts as support, and we must see the price REJECT near that level to prompt any type of price reversal. This is going to be a "Buckle-Up" kind of day. Don't say I didn't warn you about how big CRUSH patterns can be.

SQQQ leveraged inverse QQQ LongSQQQ on the 15 minute chart has trended down into a reversal at the end of the last trading session. A snapshot of the 3 minute chart inlaid shows a reversal about 14:45 EDT 75 minutes before market close. I took a long trade of shares and call options striking $10.00 for June 14th at that point. I am expecting a 5% quick return on the shares and far more on the options. The relative volatility indictor is helpful to further pinpoint the reversal for best entry. (red to green) The set of Hull Moving Averages ( 14 and 35) also serves to signal "death" and "golden" crosses which serve to further aid trade entry accuracy. The relative volume indicator ( of veryfid) also helps in that regard. It has extreme volume spikes in black. OF particular interest, the last 15 minutes of the trading week has a volume spike of buying in SQQQ. This comforts me to know that other traders saw what I saw. I am fortunate that I saw it about 45 minutes before them and got a better price. This demonstrates the value of indicators and knowing how to apply and interpret them. Trading is not as complicated as the pundits and the fee for services and trading room coaches will have you to believe to make you financially dependent on their "guidance and assistance".

2024-07-17 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment : No deeper analysis needed today. Could have sold anywhere and made money. Tomorrow will be key for next week. Best case for the bears is a weekly close below 19700 but anything below 20000 would suffice. current market cycle: climactic bull trend with overshoots is done. Market will probably range some before we begin a new bear trend over the next months. key levels: 20000 - 21000 - if we break below 20000, next support is 19700 bull case: Bulls see this as a deep two legged pullback but since they are still trading around 20000 and inside the bull channel, their premise lives on. They want a strong reversal tomorrow and since bears were in pain for so long, any good bounce above 20100/20200 could make most bears exit their shorts. Bulls want a retest of the broken channel, which would also be a retest of the ath 20983. After a -3% day, anything in this section is low probability and the best bulls can hope for is to find support and go sideways. Invalidation is below 19700. bear case: Bears are now trading below the multi month and year patterns market broke above, which indeed was a bull trap. The selling was strong enough to let the bulls know the trend is long gone and they are scrambling to secure their profits. Their next target is to break below the bull trend line and below 19700, where many many more bull stops will be. Odds heavily favor the bears for more sideways to down price action. Invalidation is above 21000. short term: Bearish. I think we can hit 19800 and/or the bull trend line. Can we go deeper? Not likely but anything can happen. If the bull trend line breaks tomorrow, this will go full panic selling and the next support would be the 50% pb from the whole bull trend since April, which is 19180. medium-long term: This climactic blow off top is/was the grand finale of this bull trend. Perfect break above multiple patterns which I expect is a bull trap and we will test the various support lines next before the new bear trend will unfold over the next 3-9 months. —unchanged current swing trade: Short since 20800. trade of the day: Sell anywhere and go away until US close. Chart was drawn last Sunday and the big red arrow the week before or so. C target might be couple points too deep but you get the idea.

Elliot Wave Analysis/Prediction of QQQ Chart (Monthly Timeframe)Overview The Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) chart presents a well-defined Elliott Wave structure over the long term, suggesting a robust bullish trend. Additionally, the RSI is indicating interesting channel movements that reflect changes in market momentum. Key Points: Elliott Wave Analysis: The chart displays a clear Elliott Wave pattern: Wave I started the initial uptrend ($168-$407) Wave II was a corrective phase, resetting the trend. ($407-$254) Wave III marked a significant bullish run, reaching new highs. ($254-$550expected) Wave IV will be a minor corrective phase with support around $450-410 before the anticipated Wave V. The potential for Wave V suggests further upward movement, continuing the long-term bullish trend. From the lows of Wave IV, we expect to see 80% appreciation before May 2027 RSI Trend: The RSI is currently around 72.00, which is in the overbought territory, indicating strong bullish momentum. The RSI has been moving within a rising channel, suggesting increasing momentum over the recent months. Historical RSI movements show that the QQQ tends to pull back slightly when RSI reaches these levels before continuing the upward trend. Support and Resistance: Immediate support can be found around the $450-$410 level, aligning with the previous consolidation zone and the potential Wave IV corrective phase. Resistance is projected at the current all-time high around $483, with further potential to reach higher levels if Wave V unfolds as expected.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade 7-17 Opening Price Update - BreakdownI created this short video to help you understand we are still cautious of a continued breakdown in price - retesting deeper support. The breakdown pattern I suggested would happen based on my SPY Cycle Patterns played out perfectly this morning. I expect a type of "V" shaped bottom/base to be set up, but I believe the SPY/QQQ may continue to push downward - attempting to WASH OUT longs and stress the markets before rolling higher into the close today and going much higher tomorrow. Please pay attention to my research. I have to say, the past few weeks of sharing my SPY Cycle Patterns on TV and trying to prove the validity of my technology have been very exciting. There is nothing like putting your neck on the chopping block by making bold predictions for price and watching to see what happens. I was either going to find my patterns work - or find out they don't work. Pay attention to this video because we may have more downward price trending before we find a bottom. #trading #research #investing #tradingalgos #tradingsignals #cycles #fibonacci #elliotwave #modelingsystems #stocks #bitcoin #btcusd #cryptos #spy #es #nq #gold

SPY/QQQ Cycle Pattern Update - Balancing Expectations & RisksAs part of my Plan Your Trade video series, I wanted to share some additional information on how I balance my expectations for price swings/moves with what's changing in the current market environment. Initially, I draw my expectations based on what I see on the chart and how I interpret the SPY Cycle Patterns. From there, I watch the custom index charts I use to measure the underlying market strengths/weaknesses (behind the scenes). Over the past 3+ days, I've been highlighting the huge moves in RSP and IYT. Traders need to understand that this strong bullish move suggests that the US market is actively relating to the end of 2024 and beyond. However, the Exhaustion Breakdown pattern tomorrow (July 17) is very likely to represent a downward price move many traders have already positioned for. Although I expect the downward price move to stay under 2.0-2.25% from today's close, it will still be strong enough to catch some attention. Please watch this video and pay attention to the first 10 minutes and the last 3 minutes. I want to know what all of you think of my SPY Cycle Patterns and if these videos are helping you out. I believe the next 5+ years will be the biggest opportunity of our lives regarding how the US and global markets trend. In my attempt to help as many traders as I can, I need to hear from you. Are these videos helping you or confusing you? What could I do to improve them? Get ready for tomorrow, and remember the next big opportunity starts on July 22 (or so).

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade 7-15 Mid-Day Update - Selling PressureGood afternoon everyone, As I created this video, the SPY was stalling above $562, with lagging bullish price momentum. In this video, I explain why the SPY & QQQ are not selling downward very hard (yet). I also explain why I believe the downward price trend (consolidation/correction) I believe will happen over the next 4+ trading days will only be a -0.75% to -2.0% downward price swing. My analysis of how price will move relative to my SPY Cycle Patterns involves many factors. I rely on more than just the SPY Cycle Patterns; my research includes dozens of other metrics and custom indexes. This video shows how strongly IYT and RSP are rallying right now. If you are going to daytrade any of the indexes, you need to pay attention to those symbols. If IYT (the Transportation Index) is rallying while RSP (the Equal-weight S&P500 ETF) is rallying - guess what? You see forward solid expectations of a broad-sector US stock market rally. Yes, maybe 30 to 90+ days in the future, you may see ignored and undervalued symbols rally more than 30% because of what we see right now. THAT is why I'm trying to share my research. I want to help you become a better, more skilled trader. That includes learning to use technical analysis more efficiently and keeping track of many underlying key metrics to help balance your expectations. Why would anyone want to swing hard for short trades when the IYT, RSP, and dozens of other metrics say, "the US stock market is REFLATING into a broad-sector rally phase"? That is the question you need to ask yourself... Are you getting the best research/analysis to help you build skills you can keep for the rest of your life? Follow my research. Take a minute to go back and watch some of my recent videos. If you want to learn how I can predict market trends 5 to 10+ days in advance, then all you have to do is pay attention to what I show you. I read the charts/data - and then formulate my expectations based on what my SPY Cycle Patterns show me. If something changes, I may adjust my expectations a bit. But, generally, my expectations don't change very much. Let's get started and learn how to distinguish these markets. Watch this video and learn. Watch my other videos and learn. The next 5+ years will be the greatest opportunity of your life.

The ROC %-age metrics aren't generally what I like to see out of these, but have already realized some gains in the August cycle, so am fine if the ROC %-age isn't stellar here. I'm also selling the -85 delta call against, as opposed to my usual -75. Metrics: Break Even/BPE: 420.39 Max Profit: 4.61 ROC at Max: 1.10% 50% Max: 2.30 ROC at 50% Max: .55%

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 7-16 - Price Starting To FLAG OUTGood morning everyone, Today's video should be an important warning to prepare for prices to move into a tight, consolidated, FLAGGING type of trend. Remember, you'll hear me say price either FLAGS or TRENDS—that's it. If you understand these FLAGS are price constructs that present mechanical price structures, we can then use them to analyze future price structures. It all becomes clear that price moves in logical structures related to energy, vibration, amplitude, frequency, and cycles. Without getting too deep into the abstract of price theory, let's focus on where to find opportunities... Watch this video. Over the next 5+ trading days, you will find 35 very clear price swings, which I believe will provide ample opportunity for skilled traders. Beyond those 35 bigger swings, you should get ready to sit and wait (in CASH) for the bigger opportunities to set up between July 22 and 25 (for a rally to start). Smart traders must understand you can't force the markets to move as you want. You must sit back and wait for the right opportunities for your trades (or you'll get chopped to pieces). In this video, I've clearly laid out what I expect to see happen for the SPY/QQQ over the next 10+ days. There are still opportunities for skilled daytraders. My only warning is to START SMALL and build positions within your risk tolerance levels. Don't swing for the fences in this market for the next 5+ days. Stay safe. There will be more significant price swings starting on the 24th or 25th of July.

#DJIA to 40k!We are in a BULL MARKET so the risks are to the UPSIDE, one of an explosive rally as fund managers who have badly gotten the market wrong panic buy propelling the Stock market driven by #FOMO rather than reasoned analysis to far higher than people can imagine. New bull market highs should arrive during summer 2023! All whilst indecision reigns supreme on the likes of twitter in a perpetual waiting for a magic signal with the goal posts constantly drifting as those who failed to act when the knives were fast falling desperately cling onto hopes of the likes of #SPX 3600 and lower to buy Even though if it ever happened they would once more be too fearful act just as they were the last time S&P traded down to S&P 3600 :) My base case is we already had the recession, during the corrective moves of 2022.

Gold & Silver May Rally 65% to 120% Before End Of 2025This updated research video highlights why I believe Gold and Silver are about to launch higher over the next 90+ days - into the upper ranges of my BreakAway phase. This move would represent a 20~25% move for Gold and a 35~45% move for Silver. But the BIG MOVE won't happen till after November 2024. That's when I expect to see Gold make a large upward move targeting $3500~3750+ and Silver making a move targeting $40~55+. Why am I so confident metals will make this aggressive move higher? It comes down to two things. A. If the US economy continues to be the 900-lb Gorilla compared to other global economies, then metals will become the primary or secondary hedge asset for most of the world (the US dollar being the other). B. The turmoil related to a new US President (new policies, plans, foreign relationships) could present a very real tipping point for certain aspects of the global economy. And it does not matter if Trump or Biden wins. The reality is the world will be shifting quickly into a transition phase as we move closer to 2030. Part of the Generational Cycle process that many people fail to understand is human psychology paired with excessive central bank manipulation over the past 20+ years. This has led to a very interesting global central bank predatory mode, which is currently playing out quite aggressively related to global currencies. The primary hedge instruments are US-Dollar-based assets and metals. That will probably continue - but at a more significant demand rate. All of this plays out as an incredible opportunity for skilled traders.
