Heading Into Earning With a Bearish FlagNASDAQ:ASML a leading chipmaker is showing an interesting pattern! In the short term, momentum appears bullish as the price has crossed the 20 SMA and is approaching the 50 SMA, with analysts expecting positive earnings. However, on the daily and weekly charts, a bearish flag pattern is forming, which suggests a potential downtrend. If the price breaks above the 849 resistance, the bullish momentum could continue, but if it fails, the downtrend may push the price towards the 775 support level.

SPY Multi-Timeframe Analysis: S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)1. Weekly Chart: Uptrend Intact: The weekly chart shows that SPY continues to trade within a broader uptrend, consistently making higher highs and higher lows. It has held above its key moving averages, particularly the 50-week moving average (blue) around $515. MACD Momentum: The MACD histogram shows continued positive momentum. This suggests that bullish sentiment remains strong, with no significant reversal signals yet. Key Resistance: We are testing the $577 level, which appears to be a significant resistance zone. If broken, SPY could extend toward new all-time highs. 2. Daily Chart: Testing Resistance: The daily chart provides a clearer view of the immediate resistance at $577. We’ve seen several attempts to break through this level, but so far, the price has been contained below it. Moving Average Support: The 50-day moving average (green) has acted as strong support, currently around $555.80. As long as SPY holds above this, the bulls remain in control. Momentum Indicator: The MACD on the daily chart is trending positive, showing increasing bullish momentum. This signals that a breakout above $577 is likely if this momentum continues. 3. 4-Hour Chart: Bullish Momentum Building: The 4-hour chart shows a series of higher highs and higher lows, indicating the bullish momentum is building. Price has been supported by the 50-period moving average at $564.10. Immediate Resistance: The key level remains $577. A clear break above this resistance level on strong volume could signal further upside, potentially pushing SPY toward the $580-$585 range. MACD Shows Caution: While the MACD remains in the green, it’s showing early signs of slowing momentum on this timeframe. This suggests that a brief consolidation or pullback might occur before a breakout. 4. 30-Minute Chart: Tight Range Formation: On the 30-minute chart, SPY is trading within a tightening range, with support around $572.21 and resistance at $577.11. Key Trendlines: We can observe two converging trendlines (green and red), which often precede a breakout. If SPY breaks above the red trendline (around $577), it could lead to a strong upward move. Conversely, a break below the green trendline would signal a potential retracement. Bullish Outlook: SPY remains in a strong uptrend across multiple timeframes, with positive momentum indicators and key moving averages providing solid support. The next critical level to watch is $577. A sustained break above this could see SPY move toward the $580-$585 range, continuing the bullish trend. Risk of Consolidation: However, there is a risk of short-term consolidation, especially on the lower timeframes, before any major breakout occurs. A drop below $564 on the 4-hour chart or $572 on the 30-minute chart could indicate a deeper pullback.

How to Make Money in the Stock Market and Keep ItI have always said that making money in the stock market is easy. It is learning how not to lose money that is the hard part of trading. To that end, when you find yourself in the surprising and often disturbing position of having made a whole lot of profit, or more profit than you expected in a very short time, you may be feeling overwhelmed. This is when you need to remember some basics about the art of trading. The primary factor in making money and keeping it depends upon your ability to stop trading to get your emotions under control again. Stop trading for at least a few days to a week. This sounds ludicrous, but my experience with teaching traders for more than 20 years is that those who follow this rule keep their big gains while those who do not, lose them back to the market and then some. The reason behind this is emotion. You are in a state of emotional flux, not thinking logically. You are thinking, “I’m brilliant, I’m invincible, I am going to be rich!” Well, sure, but not at this moment. At this moment, you are overly exuberant, you are thinking you can do no wrong, so you are likely to miss the parts of your analysis that would keep you out of high-risk setups. So, take a few days to cool off. The Stock Market is not going anywhere. Great trades present themselves over and over again. While you are recovering from the shock of a large gain, these steps can help bring you back down to Earth : Review your notes from some of the courses you have taken. Reading back over rules and the reasons behind them for making sounding trading decisions helps a lot to keep you grounded. Review your trading plan and your goals. If you don't have this written out somewhere, do it now. Most people refuse to write down their goals because of “fear of failure.” They are so afraid that they are not capable of reaching those goals that they do not try. Try to write down realistic goals, and adjust them as you see the need. We have a calculator that we provide to our students for help with this. Once you do the task of setting goals, you will find that they are achieved much of the time. Consider if you need to increase your goals. Continually pushing yourself to reach higher and higher levels of efficiency and profit helps to both dispel the fear of failure and propel you forward with perhaps stricter rules to achieve those higher goals. Trading is 50% skill which, in short, includes understanding your Trading Style and using proper Strategies for the current Market Condition. The other 50% is controlling emotion, which includes setting goals, keeping calm and centered, using discipline in your trading rules, having the determination to keep working until you are successful, maintaining your personal parameters while expanding them, and using logic rather than emotion. These are the major components of making money and keeping it.
