DOLLAR INDEX (DXY): Bullish Reversal Confirmed?!
Dollar Index formed an inverted head and shoulders pattern on a daily.
Its neckline breakout is a strong bullish reversal signal.
The broken neckline of the pattern turns into a significant support now.
We can expect a growth from that at least to 101.25 resistance.

Wedge at the Edge – Will the Dow Drop from Here?Price is approaching a key supply zone between 41,800 and 42,400, where previous strong selling occurred. A rising wedge pattern is forming, suggesting a potential bearish reversal. If price fails to break above the supply zone and closes below the wedge, a breakdown could lead to a bearish move targeting the demand zone around 39,000–39,300.
Bearish Bias: Watching for rejection and breakdown confirmation for a short setup.
Key Levels:
Supply zone: 41,800 – 42,400
Demand zone: 39,000 – 39,300
Support to watch: 40,600
US DOLLAR INDEX(DXY): Bullish Outlook & BreakoutThe Dollar Index formed a significant inverted head and shoulders pattern on a 4-hour chart.
Following the release of yesterday's economic data, the market surged and broke through both the neckline and a strong downward trend line.
This created an expanding demand zone with two broken structures.
I plan to take long positions in anticipation of a bullish trend continuing to at least 102 support level.

6 ASX Stocks - That have showed strong relative strength Thought I'd throw up a diverse bunch of ASX growth stocks with decent market caps showing solid relative strength compared to the XJO (represented by the candles). XJO IS STILL DOWN ROUGHLY 4%.
Considering how crappy the market has been since mid February, the below stocks have held up really well and could be out performers over the next 18 months or so:
Market down approx 16% (Feb top - April low), currently still down 4%.
Since the February top:
Downer (DOW)16%
Telstra (TLS) 18%
Superloop (SLC) 29%
A2 Milk (A2M) 41%
Nanosonic (NAN) 42%
Eagers Auto (APE) 47%
Check out a similar list below from 2022 where all stocks had runs ranging from 60% to 160% over the next year or so after showing strong relative strength during 2022 lows(interest rates uncertainty)

Elliott Wave Framework Highlights S&P 500 (SPX) Bullish ImpulseThe S&P 500 ( SP:SPX ) has shown significant correction since its peak on February 17, 2025, before a tariff announcement. We propose that the corrective phase, labeled as wave (II), concluded at 4823. However, for the index to confirm the end of this correction and rule out a potential double correction, it must surpass the prior wave (I) high of 6147.43. Since the wave (II) low, the SPX has embarked on an upward trajectory, characterized as a nesting impulse—a pattern where waves build momentum in a structured, upward climb.
From the wave (II) low, the rally began with wave 1 peaking at 5246.57, followed by a pullback in wave 2 to 4910.42. The index then surged in wave 3, which is unfolding in a five-wave impulse pattern on a smaller degree. Within wave 3, the first sub-wave ((i)) reached 5456.9, with a dip in wave ((ii)) to 5101.63. The index climbed again in wave ((iii)) to 5700.7, followed by a minor pullback in wave ((iv)) to 5578.64. We anticipate the index will extend higher to complete wave ((v)) of 3, followed by a wave 4 correction. Then the Index should do one final push to finish wave 5 of (1). After this, a broader correction from the April 7, 2025 low is expected in wave (2) before the uptrend resumes. As long as the 4823.5 pivot holds, any near-term pullbacks should find support in a 3, 7, or 11-swing pattern, paving the way for further gains. This analysis, rooted in Elliott Wave theory, suggests a bullish outlook for the SPX in the near term, provided key support levels remain intact.
Nasdaq Short: completion of wave structureA few days back, on the weekend, I posted an idea about pending short but price went down first to create a 4th wave before going back up to complete the price target last night. So, this is the updated wave count. Wait for retracement to short. Stop above the high.
NASDAQ is likely building a massive H&SWe’re very likely seeing the development of a H&S reversal pattern on the NASDAQ.
Completion of the right shoulder is likely to take place over the next 2-4 weeks, especially when the impact of tariffs starts to become more pronounced through macroeconomic data and continued port volume shrinkage. The latter will create strong visuals for retail traders, further eroding consumer confidence.
The impacts of tariff negotiations on fundamentals are negligible. Even if agreements with all nations are inked today, 100% restoration of damaged supply chains would still be months away, particularly with China. A shift of the supply curve to the left is naturally inflationary. The resulting impact on Q2 earnings will likely be severe for many sectors as overhead/inventory costs will swell considerably.
The Fed has also signaled that relief via rate cuts will not happen, despite negative GDP growth, as long as inflation continues to climb. Given the inflationary nature of tariffs, it is highly unlikely we’ll see inflation reverse course in the near-to-intermediate term. Coupling this trend with continued negative GDP growth is the definition of stagflation.
If the above plays out, we should see additional growth to around 18,600 with decreasing volume, followed by a reversal that takes us to approximately 12,000. Continued macroeconomic deterioration could drag this even lower.
Heading into 61.8% Fibonacci resistance?US Dollar Index (DXY) is rising towards the pivot which is a pullback resistance and could reverse to the 1st support.
Pivot: 101.39
1st Support: 99.91
1st Resistance: 102.58
