Nasdaq100 What Now Episode 21Who’s In The Nasdaq And What Are They Doing? My plan for this week is: Start from the Monthly since we’ll be in May (by the way, Happy new month) wait for that new candle to pop and see how it opened. Then head over to the weekly. On the weekly, we are currently bearish with the market below previous Lower-lows. But I mean, Anything is possible (Plus we’re news packed for this week?). Furthermore, I’ll be waiting to see if we open up bullish. If we do, then you know—Head over to the daily for confirmations. I feel like for the Nasdaq100 bulls to come in, the 12800 (check this link to see them mark-ups) zone needs to become support. If that zone breaks, then we’ll be really going for that funeral in Nasdaq100. I mean there’s a lower high created already so damn I see a clean 12k if there’s a break. Anyway, the 4-hour will be for rejections as usual, then the 15 minutes—my entry time-frame. Let me see what Monday holds. The month of April, the tech-heavy Nasdaq100 logged its largest monthly drop since the 2008 financial crisis. Last week, I said—“What’s my plan? Same old. Weekly and Daily: Directions. I mean since we’re really bearish now, I might as well keeping looking for sells. As long as, we don’t pass the previous Lower-high at: 13700 (4-hour lower-high) I’m selling. So, I’ll be looking for new highs on the 4-hour. Then, I’ll be going to the 15 to look for entries. Let’s see how that goes”.. This week, Bleh🤦‍♀️. That plan went well only on Friday (The sell-off accelerated on Friday followed a disappointing earnings and guidance from Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) that sent the e-commerce giant’s shares down 14%). The Nasdaq100 this week was insane especially on Wednesday and Friday. Monday started it. Honestly, The Monday’s market was really a come back proudly brought to you by the bulls. The market for last week, dropped to 12806 but—on Monday, we got the bulls fighting tooth-and-nail to come back in, Which was crazy. They made it look mixed. I remember just going with my sells till I got stopped out. Anyway, that really set the mood for everything. However, on Tuesday, the bears took the market down. Smooth-sailing if you ask me. On the 240, that was a lower high so it wasn’t surprising: the bearish continuation we got. By the way, I made some humble pips 🥴. Wednesday😂. Luna-Wednesday.. A day for madness. Nasdaq100 on Wednesday was the day I literally felt my emotions flood in. The market was so mixed that you could take a sell and buy at the same time and still be in loss. 😂Honestly, no jokes. It was that stupid. By the way, this lady—stayed away. Ain’t losing my mind for no market. Hmm.. Thursday, the bulls took the baton and we got a 13400 hit which they failed at New-York close because it wasn’t long before the bears started leaving signs again. Finally, Friday was mixed at first but, the Nasdaq got some liquidity pumped into her after the US market opening. That was a summary of how last week in Nasdaq100 went down. This week, is a actually a new month and I feel like it will not be exempted from madness. Here’s what to expect: The fed guys reserve is almost ready. from the news below, That would take place on Wednesday. Also, The labor market. Another key part of the Fed guys mandate and Friday’s NFP is expected to show that jobs growth remained robust in April. Did it though? I guess we’ll know.. What’s your pick, Dovish or Hawkish? Nasdaq100 High Impact News For 2nd-6th Of May, 2022 The gist. Usually, Mondays are news free but I guess the month of May is coming with a different vibe. Monday, May 2, 2022 by 15:00—We’ve got the ISM Manufacturing Index. The Institute of Supply Management (ISM) Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) Report on Business is based on data compiled from monthly replies to questions asked of purchasing and supply executives in over 400 industrial companies. For each of the indicators measured (New Orders, Backlog of Orders, New Export Orders, Imports, Production, Supplier Deliveries, Inventories, Customers Inventories, Employment, and Prices), this report shows the percentage reporting each response, the net difference between the number of responses in the positive economic direction and the negative economic direction and the diffusion index. Responses are raw data and are never changed. The diffusion index includes the percent of positive responses plus one-half of those responding the same (considered positive). The resulting single index number is then seasonally adjusted to allow for the effects of repetitive intra-year variations resulting primarily from normal differences in weather conditions, various institutional arrangements, and differences attributable to non-moveable holidays. All seasonal adjustment factors are supplied by the U.S. Department of Commerce and are subject annually to relatively minor changes when conditions warrant them. The PMI is a composite index based on the seasonally adjusted diffusion indices for five of the indicators with varying weights: New Orders –30% Production –25% Employment –20% Supplier Deliveries –15% and Inventories — 10%. A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD. Secondly, Tuesday May 3, 2022 at exactly 15:00 GMT—is the: JOLTS. This is a survey done by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics to help measure job vacancies. It collects data from employers about their businesses’ employment, job openings, recruitment, hires and separations. JOLTS defines Job Openings as all positions that are open (not filled) on the last business day of the month. A job is “open” only if it meets all three of the following conditions: 1. A specific position exists and there is work available for that position. 2. The job could start within 30 days, whether or not the establishment finds a suitable candidate during that time. 3. There is active recruiting for workers from outside the establishment location that has the opening. A reading that is stronger than forecast is generally supportive (bullish) for the USD, while a weaker than forecast reading is generally negative (bearish) for the USD. On Wednesday May 4, 2022 by 13:15 GMT—The ADP National Employment will take place. The ADP National Employment Report is a measure of the monthly change in non-farm, private employment, based on the payroll data of approximately 400,000 U.S. business clients. The release, two days ahead of government data, is a good predictor of the government’s non-farm payroll report. The change in this indicator can be very volatile. A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD. Same day by 15:00 GMT will be having A repeat of Monday’s ISM Manufacturing Index news while, by 15:30 is the Crude Oil Inventories. The Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Crude Oil Inventories measures the weekly change in the number of barrels of commercial crude oil held by US firms. The level of inventories influences the price of petroleum products, which can have an impact on inflation. If the increase in crude inventories is more than expected, it implies weaker demand and is bearish for crude prices. The same can be said if a decline in inventories is less than expected. If the increase in crude is less than expected, it implies greater demand and is bullish for crude prices. The same can be said if a decline in inventories is more than expected. Listen, Wednesday is packed. So heads up on that day because by 19:00 GMT, the feds take over. First is the FOMC. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement is the primary tool the panel uses to communicate with investors about monetary policy. It contains the outcome of the vote on interest rates, discusses the economic outlook and offers clues on the outcome of future votes. A more dovish (bearish/slow economical growth) than expected statement could be taken as negative/bearish for the USD, while a more hawkish (bullish/rising inflation) than expected statement could be taken as positive/bullish for the USD. Same day; same time is the Vote. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) members vote on where to set the rate. Traders watch interest rate changes closely as short term interest rates are the primary factor in currency valuation. A higher than expected rate is positive/bullish for the USD, while a lower than expected rate is negative/bearish for the USD. Finally on Wednesday, by 19:30 GMT. The U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Press Conference.. Thirdly, Thursday May 5, 2022 at 13:30 GMT is the Initial Jobless Claims. The Initial Jobless Claims measures the number of individuals who filed for unemployment insurance for the first time during the past week. This is the earliest U.S. economic data, but the market impact varies from week to week. A higher than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD. Lastly, By Friday May 6, 2022—13:30. The rates of unemployment will be released. The Unemployment Rate measures the percentage of the total work force that is unemployed and actively seeking employment during the previous month. A higher than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD. Same time is the Nasdaq100’s very own “NFP”. The Nonfarm Payrolls measures the change in the number of people employed during the previous month, excluding the farming industry. Job creation is the foremost indicator of consumer spending, which accounts for the majority of economic activity. A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD. According to investing , “Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report is expected to show that the U.S. economy added 380,000 jobs in April, while the unemployment rate is expected to tick down to 3.5%. The jobs report comes on the heels of data last Thursday showing that the U.S. economy unexpectedly contracted in the first quarter, but the decline was largely driven by a wider trade deficit as imports surged, and a slowdown in the pace of inventory accumulation. Domestic demand remained robust, allaying fears of a recession. But the outlook for the economy continues to be clouded by concerns over the economic impact of the war in Ukraine, rising bond yields, new coronavirus lockdowns in China that could stymie improvements in global supply chains, and more aggressive monetary policy tightening by the Fed“. In conclusion, after all this I don’t know if I should tell you to stay away this week. But you know what? Just be really careful. Look left, right, and left again before you cross roads. Have a beautiful month and successful week. All economic data are credited to investing.com

Nasdaq100 What Now Episode 20 Nasdaq100 yesterday was on some cool bullish vibes. Who would have thought? Hmm.. maybe me. Anyway, I just want you all to choose peace today (lol) Not violence. Free day; No News (major one) so, chill. In this video, I talked about the weekly being really indecisive, the daily showing some bullishness however, we got past previous low. The question now is, are the bulls back/ If yes, how long are they staying before we send them packing? Listen! I also marked two zones: one---supply the other, demand. On the 15 the bulls are looking to get back but we're still trading above previous ss higher-lows. What could this mean? Well if you ask me? I'll say trade that trend till you're wrong. Have a blissful and profitable day. Love, Lazyluchi.

Nasdaq100 what now episode 19 Nasdaq100 bulls were really every-where in this down-trend yesterday. I wonder-ed why. Until the news popped and I saw that the fundamentals turned out positive. However, They left signs: Bullish divergences on both the 4-hour and daily. The market started creating Higher-lows. Listen after yesterday, I realized that: you never really know anything. The market can just switch up on you. Anywhere I guess my waiting wasn't in vein cos' I stayed away from the madness still ongoing. The bulls are still guarding the 12800 and I can't help but wait and see if they can. In today's news, we've got GDP and Initial Jobless Claims by 1pm GMT +1. (set that).. Let's see if the zones marked (12950 and 13250) get broken today. If you love my ideas, It doesn't cost a thing to smash that like button and subscribe. I appreciate you all. Thank you! Love, Lazyluchi for Nasdaqgods

Nasdaq100 what now episode 15"This week, the trading plan still remains the same. Little tweak though. Firstly, know the over-all direction. For this one—my best bet is downwards. honestly, the weekly looks more confused as ever. There’s a possibility that we might get a higher-low but until that’s established, I’ll be taking my sells. Secondly, Marking major HHs/HLs and LHs/LLs. Looking to see rejections on the daily to give me a signal as to what these bears are really doing. Then for the time-frame task, The weekly and daily: directions, The hour 4: rejections, the 15 minutes: entries. Then I wait for them confirmations and execute! Hope that goes well? ".. My Trading plan for last week. Did that go well? Yes sir! Listen—I feel like all my year and the half of trading Nasdaq100 “professionally” last week has been my best so far. There’s one thing I realized though, That is: Follow your plan. Look, you got a plan? follow that guy. Don’t change nun ‘in.. Just—follow! I noticed how much that sky-rocketed my performance. Honestly, Nasdaq100 this week, we might all just be going for a funeral. “Why?” You’re probably wondering, Well, did you see how it ended. The lady dropped like 3% from last week. Close to 2,ooo points or more. The Nasdaq100 is currently at 13319 (as I write this) and I don’t even think we’re done. You know that Inverse head and shoulder that showed up? Destroyed! The weekly time-frame presently is currently looking to get past the previous Lower-low at (13319) The next level—13,000 isn’t far-fetched. The daily 0% fib level at 13079: isn’t as well. The bears are really wilding. The CBOE NASDAQ100 VOLATILITY INDEX is real bullish now! Dude is almost at 37 points. Imagine going to 40, where do you think the Nasdaq will be? Look at this picture, tell me what you see: for me, A broken possible bullish structure. A double top with new lower-highs and a possible continuation to create a new lower-low. Screaming “BEARS”!!!.. Monday was all chill, I mean there wasn’t any news. Funny how we got a pin-bar on Monday on the daily time-frame. The bulls came in for a bit. No news release; No crazy movement. However, this all went left on Tuesday, April 19th, 2022. By 13:30, we got the Building Permits which turned out positive with a 1.873M reading. That brought the bulls in. We all thought: “Finally the bulls are back”. Uh! too soon. Wednesday, 20th April, 2022 appeared mixed after a negative Existing home sales with a 5.77M reading and a positive Crude oil inventories by 15:30 with a -8.02M reading. The daily left a rejection candle after that. Coincidence—Uh! maybe not. Furthermore the dreadful Thursday. I called it that because you seriously need to see it’s reaction. The bullish tables flipped. Them legs got broken, shattered into a million pieces. Even started getting termite holes and stuff. The bears came in growling after the negative Initial Jobless claims with a 184K reading by 13:30 as if that wasn’t enough, the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index also turned out negative with a 17.6 reading. Less than 3-hours after came the Fed news. Twice! Look the market bled. Never seen in years. The Nasdaq100 screamed but I don’t even think any-one cared to listen. Shii! we all were trying to make some buck. On Friday, That was just a continuation. The bears continued and now looking to create another lower-low. What’s my plan? Same old. Weekly and Daily: Directions. I mean since we’re really bearish now, I might as well keeping looking for sells. As long as, we don’t pass the previous Lower-high at: 13700 (4-hour lower-high) I’m selling. So, I’ll be looking for new highs on the 4-hour. Then, I’ll be going to the 15 to look for entries. Let’s see how that goes. Don’t miss my streams though! Nasdaq100 High Impact News For 25th-29th Of April, 2022 You’re probably wondering, “what should we expect?” Don’t worry—I’ll tell you. This week, as usual, The Monday is free from demons. Tuesday however, This is where all the madness starts. The 26th April, 2022 by 13:30, We’ve got the Core Durable Goods Order. This measure the change in the total value of new orders for long lasting manufactured goods, excluding transportation items. A higher reading indicates increased manufacturing which is bullish for the USD. Also same day; different time. By 15:00, we’ve got the New Home Sales. This measure the annualized number of new single family homes that were sold during the previous month. P.S: This particular repot tend to have more impact when it’s released ahead of existing home sales because the reports are tightly co-related. However, a higher reading is bullish for the USD. Same time, doesn’t end. Y’all be mindful of Tuesday then. We’ve got the CB Consumer’s Confidence. It measures the level of consumer’s confidence in economic activity. A higher reading=Higher consumer’s optimism which is also bullish for the USD. Wednesday April 27th, 2022. By 15:00, The Pending Home Sales. It measure the change in the number of homes under contract to be sold but still awaiting the closing transaction, excluding new constructions. A higher than expected is bullish for the USD. Same day; different time. By 15:30, Crude Oil Inventories.😒(again?) Anyway this guy, we all know what he does. A higher reading is weak for the USD. Therefore, bearish. The level of inventories influences the price of petroleum products, which can have an impact on inflation. Finally, Dreadful Thursday. The 28th of April, 2022 by 13:30, we’ve got Initial Jobless Claims 🤦‍♀️(Y’all already know, I’ll just repeat) This measure the number of individuals who filed for unemployment insurance for the first time during the past-week. A higher reading than expected is bearish for the USD. Same time, The GDP—The gross domestic product, measure the annualized change on inflation-adjusted value of all goods and services produced by the economy. Listen, it is—this is the primary indicator of the economy’ health. If the actual is greater than the forecast, it will be Bullish for the USD. Be sure to read all, stay safe, and make that buck.

Nasdaq100 What Now Episode 7Hey chat, So the bulls came out of hiding during the CORE CPI which had a low reading by the way. I actually thought that was weird till the bears returned. Anyway, do you see that we finally got a gap fill in VXN. What are the freaking odds right? The fib levels have been pretty useful lately. The 50 and 38% daily fib have all been hit. However, we got a bounce off the 38 which gave room for a double bottom on lower tim-frames. Again, what are the odds? Now, all I can say is let's wait to see what these Bullish signs mean. First a bullish divergence, now a double bottom.. Hmm! finally, what are the "damn" odds? For the news: We've got the PPI by 13:30 GMT and Crude oil Inventories by 15:30 GMT..

Nasdaq 100 What Now Episode 5Who’s In The Nasdaq And What Are They Doing? Last week, the Nasdaq100 fell. In the previous episodes I said, “I’ll be looking to short the Nasdaq100 if the 15,000 remains a resistance. Shorting it to next support level at 14,680. However, if that 15,000 turns support, I’ll be looking to buy the return of the bulls—at least back to 15,200. What do you think?”.. Well, as you saw, the bears won. I took more of sells than buys because of that. However, the Nasdaq100 played with me a little bit before it went my way. Anyway, no chit (haha). In the previous news, We kicked off with the ISM Manufacturing PMI which turned out with a negative 58.3 reading.. This gave strength to this Nasdaq100 bears. Albeit, There’s this double top with a lower high that formed on the weekly, then—on the daily—The 4-hour took a while before it reacted to that. Back to the news, we also had crude oil inventories which also popped up negative. It had a 2.421 negative reading. Furthermore, A mixed market turned up on Wednesday during the FOMC.. The Nasdaq100 bulls switched up on these bears. We ended the week with a positive JOBLESS CLAIMS funny how that threw me off balance. I wondered.. if the bulls were back only for the bears to turn those tables real quick. What is the plan then? Honestly, I ‘ll be waiting for the Monday to give me a taste of what to expect. However, since all levels are pointing downwards, even the relative strength index are all below 50%, I’ll be taking more of sells till there’s a change in the trend. If the Nasdaq100 gives us a higher-low instead of lower-low, then BUYS!!! Let’s see what gist this week has install for us. Hold-up, Not ending this one without speaking the VXN (Volatility index for Nasdaq100). Well, hmm, it hasn’t exactly been reliable only because it only opens during US market open and even opens with a gap most times. However, I realized it’s best we analyze that as well. The VXN’s Fib and RSI levels: On the weekly, the RSI is currently at 50.54, Daily-46.76, 240-49.54.. You can see that the bulls 0f VXN seem to be prepping. As for fib (Fibonacci) levels, check last heading. Nasdaq100 High Impact News For 11th-15th Of April, 2022 Monday is news less.

Nasdaq 100 What Now Episode 4Alright traders, first of, what is Nasdaq doing? These bulls are bears are at it again and I can't help but wonder what they plan on doing. The bulls have gotten to 14322 which was an initial higher-low plan but it's looking like there's a problem. Accumulation phase with bears looking stronger. Daily showing signs of an inverse head and shoulder.. Just got a bullish divergence pattern. What now? The VXN hit a wall and bears trooped down as well. It's looking bearish however, not exactly confirmed. Still on the side-line with my pack watching these one. Hey trader, if you loved this one, leave a like, comment, follow, and share your thoughts in the comment below. I love reading them. Cheers, Lazyluchi..

Nasdaq 100 What Now Episode 3Hey traders, If you're seeing this one, it means I was able to post this. The Nasdaq 100 dropped 2% after that double top showed up. I described what looks like an inverse head and shoulder forming, where the bulls are going for that higher-low. The VXN on the other hand hit a resistance at 30.50 and if this is just a retest to the 28 point support, then the VXN bulls will be back and the Nasdaq 100 bears will take us for another rude. I see a 14200 reach, however, I'm keeping an open-mind to the whole situation. Yesterday's FOMC gave us a gap-fill then a continuation to the downside. Some fed officials wanted a 0.5% rate hike to arrest inflation quickly. Investors became unnerved by the idea of the increase causing an effect on the Nasdaq although, not a news fan but maybe.. That got a reaction. Look at this plan: VXN chart: Hey trader, if you loved this one, leave a like, comment, follow, and share your thoughts in the comment below. I love reading them.

Nasdaq What Now Episode 1 Hey traders, The news update for last week showed intense results on the Nasdaq100. Tuesday, March 29th, 2022. CB (conference board) consumer’s confidence came up with a 107.2 reading, the JOLTs Job Openings came up positive as well—with a 11.266 million. This made the Nasdaq100 move up towards the 15,000 previous bears zone after that happened. Thereafter, on Wednesday, 30th of March, 2022.. The Bulls kept creeping in after the ADP Non-farm employment change came up positive with a 455k reading, However, the GDP (gross domestic product) reading turned out negative with a 6.9% reading leaving the Nasdaq100 to struggle although the bulls magically got their strength and took us up to 15,200. Resistance—came in early when the Thursday’s Initial Jobless claims news reading came up. It turned out negative with a 202k reading. Bringing the angry bears out from the woods. The Nasdaq100 turned the 15,200 level into a resistance and broke past previous support at 14,900 and turning it into resistance. Finally, NFP wasn’t flawless either as it came up negative with a 431k reading on Friday, 1st of April, 2022. So much for the April fools huh? With the NFP negative, we got a positive reading for the Unemployment rate (3.6%).. Whilst the ISM Manufacturing PMI readings turned out negative with a 57.1 reading. Furthermore, the Nasdaq100 closed mixed with the bears looking for more sellers to grant them the favor of drooling the Nasdaq100 down to next support level (14680). In all this, what’s my plan? Well, I’ll be looking to short the Nasdaq100 if the 15,000 remains a resistance. Shorting it to next support level at 14,680. However, if that 15,000 turns support, I’ll be looking to buy the return of the bulls—at least back to 15,200. What do you think? The VXN on the other hand is looking really bearish—After it created that resistance at 27 points. Hold up! what does this mean for the Nasdaq100 though? Anyway, I’ll be working with my plans and looking anticipating them high-impact gist.. Speaking of gist, let’s see what they have for us. Nasdaq100 High Impact News For 4th-8th Of April, 2022 Nasdaq100 this week has a lot in the box for us. On Tuesday April 5th, 2022—By 15:00, We have the ISM Non-manufacturing for March.. The previous was negative with a 57.1 reading. What’s the ISM all about? The Institute of Supply Management (ISM) Non-Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) (also known as the ISM Services PMI) report on Business, a composite index is calculated as an indicator of the overall economic condition for the non-manufacturing sector. The NMI is a composite index based on the diffusion indexes for four of the indicators with equal weights: Business Activity (seasonally adjusted), New Orders (seasonally adjusted), Employment (seasonally adjusted) and Supplier Deliveries. A reading above 50% indicates the non-manufacturing sector economy is generally expanding; below 50% indicates the non-manufacturing sector is generally contracting. The Non-Manufacturing ISM Report on Business is based on data compiled from monthly replies to questions asked of more than 370 purchasing and supply executives in over 62 different industries representing nine divisions from the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) categories. Membership of the Business Survey Committee is diversified by SIC category and is based on each industry contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD. 15:30 Wednesday April 6th, 2022. The Crude Oil Inventories will take place. What’s this all about? The Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Crude Oil Inventories measures the weekly change in the number of barrels of commercial crude oil held by US firms. The level of inventories influences the price of petroleum products, which can have an impact on inflation. If the increase in crude inventories is more than expected, it implies weaker demand and is bearish for crude prices. The same can be said if a decline in inventories is less than expected. If the increase in crude is less than expected, it implies greater demand and is bullish for crude prices. The same can be said if a decline in inventories is more than expected. Hey traders, I just got an alert that we’ve got the FOMC news. April 6th, 2022 by 19:00 the meeting will take place. Points to note: The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Meeting Minutes are a detailed record of the committee’s policy-setting meeting held about two weeks earlier. The minutes offer detailed insights regarding the FOMC’s stance on monetary policy, so currency traders carefully examine them for clues regarding the outcome of future interest rate decisions. Finally, By 13:30, Thursday the 7th of April, 2022—We’ve got the Initial Jobless Claims. The previous turned out negative 202k readings. What to know: Initial Jobless Claims measures the number of individuals who filed for unemployment insurance for the first time during the past week. This is the earliest U.S. economic data, but the market impact varies from week to week. A higher than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD.

Nasdaq 100 What Now?Who’s In The Nasdaq And What Are They Doing? Nasdaq bulls are succeeding! I mean, most of the anticipated resistance in last week’s chat.. Have all broken and turned into support. On the 240, you can see the clear uptrend (higher-highs and lows)—However, there’s a wedge and bearish divergence. Furthermore, the Nasdaq 100 has been respecting said, “wedge” through-out last week. A possible 15,000 coming through. But, the usual “buts”.. This particular “but” is that of: a higher-low daily creation. Remember I talked about the fact that we’ve got the bulls in the market—hence we need higher-lows to confirm their validity. Well, this might just be it. A possible outcome: The market opens on Monday bulls are still hovering.. We get a move to 15,000. Yeah! everyone’s happy. Then—comes the bears. The big retest, the big pull, I mean: the daily still needs it’s higher-low—right? This pull determines the bulls strength. My support zones are: 14300/200. Support holds, everyone goes long, support break—panic starts. If the bulls win, The next resistance zone: 15400 creates a new higher-high and.. We’re bullish baby! Similarly, if bulls fail, Then I will.. We should start another panic sell because—what’s their exact purpose? Haha, let’s see how it turns out. Next up, Major news, use that to know what the market’s decision will be. Don’t take trades during a major news so be notified. Nasdaq100 High Impact News Lot to comes this week. The end of March and beginning of a new dawn (April). Let’s see.. Monday is the only day that’s free of a major news. Oh! my, News packed week I see. Tuesday, March 29th, 2022–By 15:00. We’ve got; Cb consumer confidence—“Cb” stands for: conference board. This major news measures the sentiment of surveyed consumers on economic conditions. The market reacts to this because—Consumer optimism is directly related to consumer’s spending, hence—it makes up for a large part of the country’s economic activities. Wednesday, March 30th, 2022. At 13:15, We have the ADP national employment report. The Automatic data processing National Employment Report is a measure of the monthly change in non-farm, private employment, based on the payroll data of approximately 400,000 U.S. business clients. The release, two days ahead of government data, is a good predictor of the government’s non-farm payroll report. The change in this indicator can be very volatile. P.s: ADP provides payroll services to US corporations, and they analyze data from around 400,000 customers to derive employment growth estimations. Why should you care about the ADP? Job creation is an important leading indicator of consumer spending, which accounts for a majority of overall economic activity. What to expect: A higher reading should be positive/bullish for the USD, while a lower reading should be negative/bearish for the USD. Hence, watch out for that reading—might just save you this week! More On H.I.N For Nasdaq Thursday, March 31st, 2022. Another news is—Personal income also known as, Disposable income. This measures the change in the total value of income received from all sources by consumers. Income is closely correlated with consumer spending, which accounts for a majority of overall economic activity. For this news, like the ADP, A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD. Traders should take this seriously because.. Income is correlated with spending, the more disposable income consumers have, the more likely they are to increase spending. Finally, Friday The fools day—April 1st. DON’T BE A FOOL THOUGH. This is the day of the most anticipated for Nasdaq ..NFP (non-farm payroll). However, before the NFP, we have like three major news to watch out for. The first, Average hourly earnings. The Average Hourly Earning released by the US Department of Labor is a significant indicator of labor cost inflation and of the tightness of labor markets. The Federal Reserve Board pays close attention to when setting interest rates.. A high reading is also positive for the USD, while a low reading is negative. Secondly, unemployment rate. The Unemployment Rate measures the percentage of the total work force that is unemployed and actively seeking employment during the previous month. However, unlike other major news, A higher than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD. More On Jobless Rate (Unemployment Rate) A tip for traders, Although it’s generally viewed as a lagging indicator, the number of unemployed people is an important signal of overall economic health because consumer spending is highly correlated with labor-market conditions. Unemployment is also a major consideration for those steering the country’s monetary policy. Lastly, Non-farm Payrolls. This popular news; Reports the monthly change in the number of employed workers, albeit not including the farming and government sectors. In the markets, High volatility is usually seen before and after the report release. The number of unemployed workers is an important signal of overall economic activity since consumer spending is greatly correlated with labor-market conditions. Furthermore, The major importance of knowing about the NFP is: Job creation. The foremost indicator of consumer spending, which accounts for the majority of economic activity. A higher than expected reading should be taken as positive/bullish for the USD, while a lower than expected reading should be taken as negative/bearish for the USD.
