Nasdaq Index: Technicals and the 2020 US Presidential ElectionsIf you like this analysis, please make sure to like the post!
I would also appreciate it if you could leave a comment below with some original insight.
Analysis
- To begin with, we can look at the Nasdaq Index's monthly chart on the logarithmic scale
- The logarithmic scale provides a broader overview of the general trend, as well as clearer percentage changes in the market
- We can first see that Nasdaq (IXIC) dropped significantly during the 2008 financial crisis.
- After dropping a whopping 55% (which is a lot considering that this is an index), it has been on a steady uptrend ever since
- The Nasdaq Index has been on a clear and steady uptrend since 2009, trading within an ascending parallel channel
- Ever since it reclaimed moving average support as well, prices never dropped below the 30 simple moving average (SMA).
- The Ichimoku cloud also demonstrates that the trend is clearly bullish for the long term, as prices trade above cloud support
- There have been times in 2010 and 2011 when prices tested the upper channel resistance, only to drop back and test the channel's middle line support
- During the recent market crash caused by the Corona Virus (Covid-19) outbreak, while prices have initially dropped below the channel support, the candle managed to close above it
- Nasdaq was able to not only reclaim the lower trend line support, but also the 30 sma support
- Last month, however, prices have overextended and tested the ascending trend line resistance once again.
- Based on current technicals and the fact that the 2020 US Presidential Elections is not far ahead, even a significant 26% drop would maintain the bullish trend.
- The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows weakening bullish histograms, but the trend's overall momentum remains solid.
Conclusion
As historical data demonstrates that the stock market has a tendency to correct before the US presidential election takes place, it's also logical to expect a form of correction, specifically in the more volatile Nasdaq Index. However, we are seeing potential signs of a functioning vaccine being developed for the Corona Virus, and with my personal expectation that the virus will no longer post any obstacles to mankind by the end of next year, that gets rid of a major issue preventing the market from further rallying. Interest rates will continue to remain low for a while, and with bullish technicals being intact, it's suggested that people look to 'buy the dip' during times of a correction.
Good spot for buying Fraport AGI expecting on the next week a bounce at "gap close" by 34.84€ and this is in our monthly buy range . Maybe we hold this and made a new lower high. RSI level on monthly is clearly oversold like 2009.
Monthly-Chart:
My buy orders are between 34.84€ and 34.46€(turquoise lines).
Take profit target is between 37.40€ and 38.68€ (+8%-10%).
Stop loss: 33.44€ (-3.50%)
Longterm target: 47.54€ (+37.14%)
REMOVE YOUR BIAS!
Trade simple, made money and be happy!

the goal with apple was 530 before the stock split.
now we know apple is worth more than is current value, and we got a small correction that is actually good for the bullish trend.
everything just hit trend support level, its definitly a buy.
+ with the iphone 12 to come we can assure you that apple is still a go long position to take.
now its a good entry.

TESLA! Great BUY here... STILL OPEN!Yes, our strategy can also trade STOCKS! here we have a BUY indicated to us on TESLA still open and running well.
What is our strategy?
Our strategy is a trend following strategy - that is coded in pine script to use with the trading view platform - the entries are shown automatically! NOTHING is done manually, it can be used on any instrument and time frame. However, we have hard coded specific parameters for when trading the H1 time frame, so we can back up over 4200 previous trades to confirm our edge from previous data. This gives us confidence in execution and belief in our trading strategy for the long term.
The strategy simply sits in your trading view, so you will see exactly what we see - the trade, entry price, SL and multiple TPs (although we hold until opposite trade as this is the most profitable longer term plan), lot size, etc.
This could be on your phone trading view app, or laptop of course.
The hard work is done, so we have zero chart work time, no analysis, no time front of the chart doing technical analysis - technical analysis is very subjective - you may see different things at different times - how do you have a rigid trading plan on a H&S shoulder pattern? Your daily routine, diet, sleep, exercise can affect what you 'see' and your decision making, this doesn't happen when a strategy is coded like this; what we do have is a mechanical trading strategy...
What does this mean?
It means, we are very clear on our entry and our exit and use strict risk management (this is built in - put in your account size, set your risk in % or fixed amount and it will tell you what lot size to trade!) so we have no ego with our position and we are comfortable with all outcomes - its simply just another trade. This free's our mindset from worry and anxiety as we take confidence from knowing our edge is there and also that we have used sensible risk management.
The strategy itself can be used as a live trading journal too!
