Undervalued, Oversold, Overlooked: MRK Hits The Key Zone!Hi all,
Merck & Co. (MRK) is a global pharmaceutical titan and is currently trading near its 52-week low of ~$79. Anchored by Keytruda’s 7% YoY revenue growth, a stable ~4% dividend yield, and an average fair value estimate of $156.59 (98% upside), MRK appears significantly undervalued.
Analysts forecast a 12-month price target of $118.05, implying 49% upside, supported by a strong pipeline and solid financials. While tariff concerns and Keytruda’s 2028 patent expiration pose risks.
Technically speaking, MRK has fallen 43% from its all-time high and has reached the strongest area on the chart—a key support zone offering a compelling opportunity to build mid- or long-term positions. This critical area is defined by multiple technical factors, creating a high-probability setup for a potential reversal:
Role Reversal Support: A broad, well-established resistance zone, aged like fine wine, has now flipped to act as support. This classic role reversal provides significant confluence to the setup.
Textbook Trendline: A perfectly respected trendline, straight out of technical analysis textbooks, has consistently held. The price has approached this trendline from higher highs, underscoring its strength as a key support level.
50% Retracement Level: A critical level often watched for potential reversals.
Monthly EMA200 Confluence: The 200-period exponential moving average on the monthly chart adds further strength to this area, reinforcing its technical significance.
Strategic Guidance:
This setup requires strong conviction. If you’re not prepared to buy in the lower gray areas of this support zone (marked on the chart), do not initiate a position.
In today’s market sentiment, your fundamental research must be robust, and technical analysis allows you to get that much confidence to make it happen!
Ask yourself: If the price falls further into the gray zones, am I willing to buy more? If your answer is yes, the current price presents a strong entry point for mid- to long-term positions.
If the answer is no—if you’re unsure about buying at lower levels or find yourself questioning what to do if prices drop further—refrain from starting a position. In volatile markets, clarity and discipline are essential. Only enter if your strategy is clear and your conviction matches the opportunity!
Good luck,
Vaido

META Slow recovery but $900 possible this yearMeta Platforms (META) had a strong -35% correction in the past two months, dipping even below its 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). By doing so, it reached the bottom (Higher Lows trend-line) of the 2-year Channel Up and rebounded instantly.
The rebound has stopped so far on the 1D MA200 where it got rejected. This keeps the market neutral and the long-term bullish sentiment can only be resumed if the market breaks and closes above its 1D MA50 (blue trend-line). Until then we are neutral but only as long as the 1W MA100 (green trend-line) holds, below it the bearish trend is resumed and the correction can potentially reach -50% to -70%.
If however we close above the 1D MA50, expect a +90% rally, similar to the first Bullish Leg of the Channel Up, slow at start but aggressive after half point. Target $900.

Hello,Traders!
US30 made a nice bullish
Rebound from the lows it
Plunged towards during the
High volatility of the last weeks
But now that the market seems
To have calmed down a bit we
Are seeing a retest of the
Horizontal resistance of 40,725
And a local pullback so we are
Locally bearish biased, therefore
We can enter a short trade
With the Take Profit of 39,700
And the Stop Loss of 40,956

TEVALooks like price is near a support zone dating back to around late April 2024 where the "throw up" emoji is. After the bearish volume spike on 1/29/25 happened, price shot down strong and since then seems to be widening its stance. From March 13th - April 9th bearish volume slowly increased but not with the same authority that happened in January. Bearish volume seems to be simmering down since the 9th and i want to see if we get some consolidation before a test of the nearby daily target zone.
If price continues to shift down and another trade opportunity presents itself, I'll take another look and reassess.
PFEAt the current price, I'm looking for a retest toward the daily target zone located on the chart. On 3/21 PFE announced news about dropping the decision to move forward with the weight loss drug. Since then, price dropped down in spike like fashion. After the big volume spike, on that date, volume cam down and slowly started to build up again for the bears but there may be some weakness here. I wonder if this is a good price range where short sellers are starting to get concerned? I don't care for news and and am mainly a volume trader. So this trade will be interesting and maybe we get some attention at some point.
If price goes lower, we will revisit if another opportunity presents itself.
AMAZON is on its 3rd historic +1000% growth Bull Cycle.Amazon (AMZN) almost has been trading within a multi-year Channel Up pattern since the Housing Bubble bottom in November 2008 and this month almost touched its 1M MA50 (blue trend-line).
With the exception of the 2008 Housing Crisis and the 2022 Inflation Crisis, which bottomed on the 1M MA100 (green trend-line), the 1M MA50 has never been broken. In fact it has been the key Support of every Bull Cycle that surprisingly has so far peaked on a +1051% rise.
As you can actually see by the 1M RSI, such corrections, like the one in the past 3 months, are quite common within the Channel Up and offer excellent long-term buy entries.
So, technically the Inflation Crisis bottom (December 2022) on the 1M MA100 has initiated Amazon's 3rd historic Bull Cycle within this pattern and based on the previous two, it may also peak after a +1051% rally inside 2028. Our projected Target on this is $900.
Would you miss out on such an opportunity in the past?

“Markets are strong” – Are they really?President Trump recently stated that "markets became very strong once they got used to tariffs."
But let’s look at the facts:
📊 AMEX:SPY is down -9% YTD, and major names like:
MSFT: -7.55%
AAPL: -18.66%
NVDA: -12.94%
Tech is bleeding, and the broader S&P 500 is clearly reflecting the pressure of trade policy uncertainty.
🟥 Tariffs = market stress
🟩 Market resilience = not the same as strength
What we’re seeing is not a “strong market” — it’s a market under pressure trying to survive political noise. The weekly chart shows a clear drop after the peak, followed by uncertainty, not conviction.
💭 Is this truly the “strength” investors want to see?
GOOGLE's generational bottom made. This is how it reaches $350.Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) almost tested last week its 1W MA200 (orange trend-line). That level has been holding for more than 2 years (since March 13 2023) and it's been the main Support of the Bull Cycle that followed the November 2022 Inflation Crisis bottom.
The pattern is almost like the Ascending Triangle that led to the March 2020 COVID crash, which was the most recent time before the late 2022 bottom that the stock made contact with the 1W MA200. As you realize, all those times have been what we call 'generational bottoms', thus extremely good long-term buy opportunities. And as you see they've been on extremely tight time symmetry, all took place roughly every 2.5 years.
If the pattern continues to repeat itself, then we may witness a rally (green Channel Up) similar to the one that peaked on November 2021 and reached the 2.618 Fibonacci extension. As a result, setting a $350 Target would be more than realistic based on this pattern.

MARA Holdings, Inc.: Your Altcoin ChoiceThis is obviously not an Altcoin but it was requested in the Altcoin Choice session that we did recently, so here is the analysis.
MARA Holdings, Inc. (MARA) . It looks good.
A long-term higher low has been established. MARA produced a low first in October 2023. This was followed by a series of swings and waves. Reaching the later part of 2024, the action turned full bearish and now in April 2025 MARA Holdings seems to be ready to go bullish again. And here the stock printed a higher low.
A long-term higher low will lead to a long-term higher high. The last peak happened in February 2024 at 34.09. The next higher high at 42.86 is an easy one and should happen in 2025. It can definitely go higher but I am no stocks expert so can't dig any deeper for you.
In support of these signals, I looked for the RSI and found a small bullish divergence. It is only a month old but it is still a bullish divergence and it is valid. The reading on the RSI is also good and supports a new wave of growth. It seems Crypto and the stock market are now one.
Trading volume is standard and average and does not support our bullish bias, but it doesn't negate either. Average volume with no change on the upside or downside supports a neutral market. A market on autopilot. If there was a bearish move this bearish move is not strong as it is not supported by volume. So the early reversal signals can be good as there is nothing to hold the bearish wave. Things can change, but we are not talking about that, we are looking at the chart and what it currently says.
The chart is saying that MARA can start to grow in the coming weeks and days. If this growth develops, it can last months and end up in a new high, a higher high based on the long-term.
Thank you for reading and for your continued support.
Namaste.
