FAANG stocks have reverted to StdDev center - finding supportFAANG stocks have reverted more than 15% recently - attempting to find support.
My predictive modeling systems are suggesting the markets are still holding a long-term bullish price trend (for now).
Even though the short-term price trend is bearish, pay attention to how this "revaluation" process is playout out and how the strength of the US Dollar results in a determined "Capital Shift" related to US assets.
We may see some surprising price moves over the next few weeks and months ahead. If you are skilled enough, there may be some great opportunities for 5 to 10+ day trades over the rest of 2022.
Look for support near $13,050 on the NQ to hold (briefly).

NASDAQ100 Confirms Bearish Reversal, But Pullback Can Be NearHello traders and investors!
Stock market is closed today due to Easter holidays, but we want to share an interesting development on technology sector NASDAQ100.
NASDAQ is turning back down in current risk-off sentiment, which may last for some time, as we see a new intraday five-wave bearish reversal from the previous highs.
In Elliott wave theory, every five-wave reversal suggests a change in the trend, at least for short period of time. After every five waves we can expect a three-wave corrective pullback before a trend continuation.
Well, as you can see, NASDAQ100 clearly shows a five-wave drop from the highs that can be slowly coming to an end, as we see it trading in wave (v). So, ideally we will see some support formation in the projected area early next week that can be followed by a three-wave (a)-(b)-(c) corrective rally back to 14300-14700 resistance zone before we will see a bearish continuation.
Be humble and trade smart!

NASDAQ delivered as expected, and continues...Previously heads up , The short week filled in as expected with a continued breakdown below the weekly 55EMA. This is bearish confirmation (without doubt) that the technical bounce is done. On the weekly basis, a higher low or a return to 13K is in the cards for the weeks following.
The daily charts show the weak rally and the week ended with an overwhelming outcome, in the form of a "bearish engulfing"; not quite so as it did not totally engulf from the open, nonetheless, you can obviously see the bearishness.
The first support to bounce is not expected to hold, and perhaps the second support would hold better. Failing which, 13K is the support to look towards.
Daily technicals are in bearish territory, so expect some downside after the Easter weekend.
At this point, it is not (yet) looking extremely bearish. Not yet.
Stay safe!
Marqeta $MQ is accumulating
$MQ is accumulating between $8.40 and $12.43. It is still sideway not ready to buy but once It breaks $12.43 and stay above, It will be ready to get in. set your alarms...
Marqeta provides tools that allow its customers to create and issue customized payment cards that are specifically designed for their business needs.
Marqeta is disrupting a large and growing market. Purchase volume on U.S. payment cards was $7.97 trillion in 2020 and expected to grow to $12.86 trillion by 2025. Marqeta's total processing volume of $111.1 billion in 2021 is a small fraction of the market.
Marqeta has a win-win business model. Using Marqeta's tools, a customer earns interchange fees and delivers a better experience to its own customers. Utilizing Marqeta's tools is more of an opportunity than a cost.
Marqeta's tools are delivered via open, well-documented APIs. Vetted customers can create a card program and begin issuing cards rapidly, which should lead to rapid adoption of Marqeta's tools and growth in Marqeta's total processing volume.
NASDAQ... Oh BearThe NASDAQ is in somewhat of a freefall state having broke down very quickly over last week and one day this week. The breakdown came after warnings with upper tails in the weekly candle, as previously warned. And then the breakdown of the weekly 55EMA.
The daily chart shows the clear indications as well as long decisive bearish candles clice through the supports.
13775 (red support line) is the immediate, albeit weak, support.
13520 (gray line) probably a better bounce support.
Daily technicals (MACD and RPM) are bearish.
It is only 12 April... not even 10 May.
Nasdaq pullback ideaWaiting to see if we can get a signal to backfill yesterday's impulsive move higher. The catalyst was the announcement that Elon Musk had a 9.2% stake in Twitter.
There is also now another $10bln being put into the US economy due to an agreed stimulus bill.
The algos do not like leaving areas un-tested, so I am looking for them to come back down and fill the imbalance.
Otherwise we take out the swing highs and surge on forwards as stops get taken.
NVDA triple bottom on the 1hrNVDA with a massive triple bottom on the 1hr , also the last time the MACD was this low and about to cross we jumped from 210ish to 270 in 7 days.
Both RSI and Stoch are heavily oversold and are about to fly back to the upside. Assuming we are beginning to consolidate while using a fib ext we could see a bounce up to the 300 to 320 mark in the coming days, weeks, to say the least I am super bullish on NVDA right now. With ongoing semi conductor shortages clogging up the market I only see prices on things like gpus to rise, this will reflect very well on the balance sheet and will allow a lot more industry volume to funnel right into the hands of the giants like NVDA...
it has the chance to be a descending crabit needs to breakout the descending blue line to think about the reversal patterns.

NVDIA consolidating above its 4H MA200. Long-term target $445.NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) broke and closed above its 4H MA200 (green trend-line) last Thursday and in a surprising display of bullish strength, it has managed to hold it as a Support and consolidate. That was the first series of 1D candle closings above the 4H MA200 since January 14.
If this fails and the stock closes 2 or more 1D candles below the 4H MA200, we expect a pull-back to the big support cluster provided by the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) and the 1W MA50 (red trend-line). This has been the ultimate long-term Support Zone and buy level since September 2019. At the same time, the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), has turned sideways, and is the medium-term Support level.
The first target is the $346 All Time High and the long-term one is the 1.5 Fibonacci extension at $445.

TESLA on a major bullish break-out. Possible $1500 target in Q3.Tesla (TSLA) broke this week above the All Time High (ATH) Lower Highs trend-line, giving a strong bullish signal. The pattern is replicating the break-out sequence of June 2021. In fact the whole Peak-Correction Cycle of January - June 2021 is identical to that of November 2021 - March 2022 (so far).
As this 1D chart shows, both patterns bottomed below the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), with the RSI Double Bottoming around the 30.00 reading. What followed in July - September 2021 after the Lower Highs bullish break-out, was a slow Channel Up that ended violently with a parabolic rally just above the 1.5 Fibonacci extension level. That level is at $1650 from the recent market bottom so we are setting a target zone within $1500 - $1650 by the end of Q3.

See how well another tech giant, Apple, is performing after our March 11 buy call exactly on the market bottom:

Growth vs. Value: Skating to Where the Puck Will BeHockey legend Wayne Gretsky famously said: "Skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been." This sometimes applies in investing and trading.
Towards what object have investors been skating, figuratively speaking?
Currently, financial media, fund managers, and commentators have been emphasizing the opportunities in value over growth for several months. And for good reason: Energy, a value / cyclical sector unloved for about a decade, has outperformed every other sector this year by a huge margin. It has risen by approximately 20.5% since January 1, 2022. Even it's uptrend channel could not contain it (although it looks to be consolidating at the moment or perhaps mean-reverting).
Increasingly, market participants have been "skating" towards value areas and away from growth for over a year now, as anyone who has been burned by long trades in tech / disruptive innovation knows. For example, a spread chart (also called a ratio chart) of ARKK/SPY shows just how dramatically growth has struggled. ARKK is a well-known US ETF containing high-beta stocks typically categorized as disruptive-innovation stocks, i.e., high growth names. This chart evidences just how much growth has struggled vs. the S&P 500. Notice, though, how this spread chart shows how close to major, long-term support the ratio has moved.
Examples abound of high-growth names having been crushed in powerful bear markets in those names. Some of them are even top names with innovative products and services and an impressive record of earnings / sales growth: Square ( NYSE:SQ ) has declined about -68% from all-time highs, Upstart ( NASDAQ:UPST ) fell about -81% from its high to its low in late January 2022, and ( Roku ) dropped about 78% from its peaks. Even large cap tech not gone unscathed: Facebook NASDAQ:FB suffered a nearly -50% decline after a huge earnings / guidance disappointment. But in general, large-cap tech has been the exception in growth until the selloff this year. While growth / tech in general has struggled for months, large-cap tech names such as GOOGL, AAPL, MSFT, and NVDA have outperformed. Even AMZN's sideways move for about a year should be considered outperformance relative to other high-growth names as shown by the ARKK chart above: see the chart below, which is a relative chart of AMZN vs. ARKK, revealing that even with AMZN's lengthy sideways move, it has dramatically outperformed growth / tech names more generally.
Markets are in constant flux. So often, just when the little people (retail traders like me) take notice of a powerful new trend or outperformance, it ends. So I'm trying to watch for where markets are moving rather than focusing on where they are.
In short, is growth bottoming out relative to value? Here are a few charts to consider.
1. The main weekly chart above (also copied below) is a spread chart showing the ratio of NASDAQ:IJT (small-cap growth) vs. small cap value. Notice how close to major long-term up trendline support the ratio has moved. And the weekly ratio is also right at support at March 2021 and May-June 2021 lows. The RSI for this relative chart also shows that it's oversold to 33.65, a level that only appears in multi-month (and often multi-year) intervals. Even the two RSI lows in 1H 2021 occurred 2 months apart, but this is the exception looking back longer term.
2. Large-cap growth is right at support at a long-term uptrend line. See the weekly spread chart of the ratio between XLK/SPY. AMEX:XLK is a US ETF that is heavily weighted towards large-cap tech.
3. Equal-weighted growth vs. equal-weighted tech RYG/RPV is also very close to long-term upward trendline support.
4. Interest rates are nearing long-term downtrend channel resistance—at the upper line (the actual downtrend line). Interest rates have soared powerfully since mid-2020, and the Federal Reserve has hawkishly signaled coming rate hikes, and market participants have behaved as though rates will keep on going to the moon—by selling tech / growth, which struggle when rates rise b/c of discounting of future cash flows used to value such names. The viewpoint that rates could turn around in the near future seems radical, contrarian and unreasonable. But consider this chart below. Could rates turn around just after a large move just after millions of market participants have been flocking towards value names that outperform in rising-rate environments?
Some well-known experts have already taken this view. www.cnbc.com
It seems priced into the market right now that the 10-year yield could continue rising, that the interest rates could even breakout higher above long-term downtrend resistance, and that the Fed is likely behind the curve in controlling inflation. It seems consensus that value could continue to outperform long-term, and that growth could break even long-term support levels and continue to plummet. But if this is priced into the market, shouldn't one consider buying what's already priced in? Especially because maybe what is priced into the market will not last. Thinking about where the "puck is going to be" may suggest that tech / growth is making a multi-month or multi-year low or that interest rates are going to pullback in the next few months, allowing tech to thrive again.

STX Set For A Quick Jump Next Week?Based on historical movement, the trough could occur anywhere in the larger red box. The final targets are in the green boxes. The pending top should occur within the larger green box as has been the historical case. Half of all movement has ended in the smaller green box. In this instance, the signal indicated BUY on March 11, 2022 with a closing price of 87.33.
If this instance is successful, that means the stock should rise to at least 88.71 which is the bottom of the larger green box. Three-quarters of all successful signals have the stock rise 7.129% from the signal closing price. This percentage is the bottom of the smaller green box. Half of all successful signals have the stock rise 9.993% which is the end point of the black dotted arrow. One-quarter of all successful signals have the stock rise 12.625% from the signal closing price which is the top of the smaller green box. The maximum rise on record would see a move to the top of the larger green box. These are the same concepts for the levels in the red boxes as well.
The ends/vertical sides of the boxes are determined in a similar fashion. The peak of the rise can occur as soon as the next trading bar after signal close, while the max rise occurs within the limit of study at 35 trading bars after the signal. A 1% rise must occur over the next 35 trading bars in order to be considered a success. Three-quarters of successful movement occur after at least 2 trading bars; half occur within 7 trading bars, and one-quarter require at least 18 trading bars.
The black dotted arrow represents median historical movement. Medians are a good metric, but they are just one of many I use when forecasting future movement.
As always, the stock could decline the very next bar after the signal without looking back (therefore the red boxes would not come into play) or the stock may never decline (and the green boxes may never come into play).
APPLE can hit $185.00 in 3 months. 1D MA200 in focus.I haven't made an analysis publicly on Apple since my September 14 2021 idea:
It was when I first made public of the long-term Channel Up it was trading in and warned about a correction towards the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), which has been the stocks major Support since the COVID crash of March 2020. Eventually the pattern proved to be a success, as the price corrected and then upon testing the 1D CCI Support Zone, it rebounded above the 2.0 Fibonacci extension target.
Right now AAPL has been correcting since January 04 High. On February 24 it almost hit the 1D MA200 again as well as the CCI Buy level, but the rebound was rejected near the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and now is again near the MA200. We can see even in corrections, that the CCI Buy Zone can give short-term buy entries. The key here is for the price to break above the 1D MA50, as in previous corrections that was the start of the new uptrend. The 1D MA50/ MA100 (green trend-line) bearish cross, hasn't affected the uptrend's chances before, in fact when it happened the price was already in rise mode.
It appears that the next 1D MA200 contact would be the next long-term Buy Signal for Apple, unless of course the 1D MA50 breaks first. Either way, the CCI has already give a Buy Signal, and for more than 1.5 year, it has been 100% accurate. The 2.0 Fibonacci extension based on the last low is just over $185.00 and that is our long-term target on AAPL.

NASDAQ indecisivenessAfter its rebound, the NASDAQ index is in a small range of 13800 to 143000. It appears to be trapped in a zone and break out or breakdown will follow a decisive move. When that move will happen?
Have to wait for it and watch it happen... then we will know.
Daily technical indicators suggest a skew to the downside, but the 4H technical indicators indicate a potential bounce up.
Let's wait and see what develops...

NASDAQ technical rebound in playAs projected (in previous idea post), the NASDAQ futures spiked down to (almost) 13K and then bounced immediately. This happened on Thursday after the open initiation of the Russia-Ukraine global event. The following day continued the recovery rally.
The Weekly candlestick is now very bullish looking as there formed an intraweek ultra long tail of almost 1K index points. While technicals point to a bearish scenario overall, the NASDAQ was briefly in bear correction territory but recovered. This suggest bullishness.
The Daily candlestick pattern is also rather bullish, with a similar intraday long tail and a near marubozu body engulfing, followed through by another bullish candle that closed the day (and week) at the top. The MACD has a bullish divergence that is just turning upwards in support.
Fractal bullishness here.
The next couple of weeks in March are indicated to be bullish, through to 14.5K, and testing 15.5K. Whether the bullish effort is sustainable through past March remains to be seen.
I am optimistic for the NASDAQ into March, but weary as March wanes into April...
NASDAQ under the microscopeWas just looking at the NASDAQ futures and the price actions over the market holiday yesterday amidst the hype and concerns over Russia-Ukraine issues.
In the NQ1! 4H chart, recent multiple failures of the 55EMA (4H and Daily) technically projected downside for the NASDAQ (amongst other equity indexes). There appears to be a cyclical fear pattern over the last month, and in this current cycle, it should peak down today. Am expecting a spike down type of peak, that tests the support, breaks it somewhat and then a likely rebound ensues (as previously posted that NQ1! should be testing support).
That's what the technicals are hinting to me anyways. There is a near support, but I am looking at possible spike down to 13,000 in the coming days.
Longer term still looks volatile, and longer term target is still lower for now. Absolutely plausible for a major DCB and then a massive turn of events.
I do have a date in mind though... 10 MAY 2022. Watch that date!
Stay safe and well!!!
NASDAQ Bash ain't over...The NASDAQ futures ended the week with a long overhead tail of selling pressure to hold near the weekly 55EMA.
The daily chart depicts this with a doji followed by a gap down marubozu like candle. Technicals support another leg down.
On the media front, this was a bad media week for tech stocks. Much volatility, and eventually, after short covering should see the real picture...
