NASDQhe image shows a daily chart (1D) of the Nasdaq 100 (US100) on TradingView, with a detailed technical analysis suggesting a possible continuation of the long (bullish) trend, supported by various price levels, trendlines, and visual cues. Here's a description based on the chart:
🟦 Current Context
The price has recently broken above a key resistance area around 20,016 – 20,038, which may now act as support.
The current candle is bullish (green) and closes above this range, showing buyer strength.
There is a clear upward trend starting mid-April, with higher lows and consecutive bullish candles.
📈 Key Technical Elements
A target is marked at 21,009.5, highlighted by an orange horizontal line.
A light blue rectangle represents a potential projected move range, starting around the 20,000 zone and aiming toward 21,000.
A red box below the current price likely indicates the invalidation area or stop-loss zone.
Intermediate support levels include:
19,756.0 (blue line)
19,226.9 (orange line)
18,304.8 (deeper support)
🔁 Potential Long Continuation Scenario
If price holds above the 20,000 – 20,038 zone, we may see an acceleration toward the 21,009 target.
The overall pattern suggests a breakout from a consolidation phase, followed by a retest of the broken level (now support), and a potential upward continuation.
The diagonal trendlines indicate the formation of a broad ascending channel.
📅 Timing
The projected target may be reached within the coming weeks: a vertical black line is marked on May 21, 2025, possibly indicating the expected timeframe for the move.
✅ Conclusion
There is a clear bullish market structure, with a resistance breakout and well-defended supports. Unless there’s a false breakout or negative macro news, the long projection toward 21,009 appears technically valid.

DXY Analysis: Rising Dollar and Market ImplicationsAnalyzing the recent DXY chart, we observe a significant upward movement following a demand build-up. This article explores the implications of a rising U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) on currency pairs and major indices like the SP 500 and NASDAQ, aligning with current market dynamics.
DXY Chart Breakdown:
The chart highlights a strong weekly/daily demand level at 98,500, with an internal structural shift marking a pivot point. A demand build-up preceded a sharp rise, tapping the extreme level
of the last point of supply at 100.385, suggesting bullish momentum. The DXY currently
stands at 99.915, with potential to test previous supply levels around 101.850.
Impact on Currency Pairs:
A rising DXY typically strengthens the USD, influencing forex markets:
• XXXUSD Pairs (e.g., EURUSD, GBPUSD): These pairs are likely to decline
as fewer dollars are needed to purchase foreign currencies, reflecting the USD’s
increased value.
• USDXXX Pairs (e.g., USDJPY, USDCAD): These pairs are expected to
climb, as a stronger USD buys more of the counterpart currency.
Exceptions may arise due to region-specific economic data or central bank policies.
Effects on Major Indices:
The strengthening dollar has broader market implications:
• SP 500: Multinational companies may face pressure from reduced overseas earnings, while higher interest rates (often linked to a rising DXY) could lower valuations, potentially leading to declines.
• NASDAQ: Tech-heavy and growth-oriented, the NASDAQ may underperform due
to its sensitivity to a stronger USD and rising borrowing costs, especially for firms
with global revenue.
However, a risk-off sentiment or strong U.S. economic data could counter these effects,
supporting both indices.
Conclusion:
The DXY’s upward trajectory signals a robust USD, likely pressuring XXXUSD pairs
downward and lifting USDXXX pairs. For indices, the SP 500 and NASDAQ may face
headwinds, though context like economic releases or global sentiment will play a key role.
Traders should monitor these levels closely for strategic entries and exits.
Trump’s speech today may create short-term volatility for the DXY. A focus on tariffs could push it toward 101.850.
NAS100USD: Bearish Confluence Builds as Market WeakensGreetings Traders,
Despite the broader bullish context on NAS100USD, current confluences suggest a potential short-term move to the downside. As we enter the New York session—with a key news release on the horizon—we anticipate heightened volatility. The critical question now becomes: where is price most likely to draw?
Key Observations:
1. Shift in Market Structure:
Price failed to break above the previous high and instead formed a lower high, signaling weakness and suggesting a possible reversal. This lower high, marked by multiple rejection wicks, forms what we identify as a rejection block—a zone often used by institutions to initiate sell orders.
2. Displacement and Bearish Arrays:
Following this rejection, the market displayed strong displacement to the downside, confirming a market structure shift. This supports the likelihood of bearish continuation and increases the validity of bearish institutional arrays holding as resistance.
3. Current Zone of Interest:
Price is now trading within a fair value gap (FVG) aligned with a reclaimed order block—a strong confluence area for potential bearish continuation. Just above this zone lies a bearish order block and another FVG, which may act as a secondary resistance should price wick higher before moving down.
Trading Plan:
Wait for confirmation at the current resistance zones before considering entries. If validated, look to target the liquidity pools resting at lower, discount price levels.
Stay patient, trade with precision, and let the market confirm your idea.
Kind Regards,
The Architect
Germany 40 – Focus on the All Time HighsThe Germany 40 index has been on a wild ride in the first 4+ months of 2025 as European equity markets have reaped the benefits of a shift out of US assets, an expected major spending up lift by European governments on defence and more importantly for the Germany 40 specifically, a commitment by the country’s lawmakers to lift the debt break, which is expected to unleash billions of EUROs of spending on infrastructure projects moving forward.
This all saw the Germany 40 index climb from 19,753 on January 2nd to a new all time high of 23479 on March 18th. However, its not all been plain sailing, as US President Trump’s introduction of trade tariffs on global allies saw a capitulation of these initial longs all the way down to 18800 on April 7th, although this weakness didn’t last long as a month later, more specifically on Tuesday May 6th the index returned to its all time highs again. Wow!
Now, with the index pausing just below this important peak, it seems like a good time to consider the technical outlook.
Technical Outlook: Break or Fail at All Time Highs
An all-time high in any asset is an important resistance focus for traders, as having seen it previously hold and reverse an advance in price, the potential is that it may do so again.
Therefore, as a previous all-time price is neared, the question will always be asked, will it hold and see fresh selling pressure once more, or will it give way on a closing basis, to suggest possibilities of a more sustained period of price strength.
The Germany 40 index currently finds itself in such a situation, and activity over coming sessions may offer clues to its next direction.
On March 18th 2025, the Germany 40 index traded to a level of 23479, which represented a new all-time market high. Significantly, from here, a fall of 19.90% materialised into the April 7th low.
Interestingly, having posted this 18800 April 7th session low, a near 100% upside retracement of the early April decline has developed, with Tuesday’s high this week at 23430. The question traders may now be asking is, can new all-time highs be posted to suggest extension of recent strength, or will it hold again and see fresh price weakness?
Of course, it is an impossible question to answer, as much will depend on future market sentiment and price trends. However, it should be remembered, even if closing breaks of previous all-time highs do develop, it may still not guarantee further strength.
That said, if closes above the 23479 March 18th 2025 extreme do materialise, it may skew possibilities to higher levels. However, it is always difficult to gauge where the next higher resistance points stand in all-time high territory, but it might prove to be the 38% Fibonacci extension of the March/April price decline, which stands at 25232, that could be the next resistance focus.
It is equally possible, as it is an important resistance that 23578 holds and reverses the latest strength again, in which case, we must be aware of possible supports that if broken, may see increasing downside pressure in the index.
The first support, may now be 22860, which was Tuesday’s session low, as this held and prompted a rally in price. This level giving way, while not an outright negative, might then see a deeper decline emerge towards 22237, equal to the April 30th low, even possibly the rising Bollinger mid-average, which currently stands at 21914.

Up-a-Bar, Down-a-Bar? Sorted.Gap Higher Into 5700 Heat
Ever make a tiny tweak to your bias, ignore the noise, and then watch the market validate every inch of it?
That’s the vibe this morning.
Yesterday’s post-FOMC tag of the lower Bollinger Band confirmed the mechanical turn, and if you’ve been following along, that means our bullish bias got an official upgrade. Futures are already up 60 points overnight, price is lifting into the 5700 zone, and yes… that broken wing butterfly we placed in the slop is now basking in the spotlight.
Didn’t catch the full breakdown of that clean +98.1% ROC win? You should. Because boring trades print – and this one did just that.

SPX Market View
Let’s talk about the move we didn’t miss.
We spotted the sideways chop. The indecision. The textbook “up-a-bar, down-a-bar” noise. But instead of guessing direction into FOMC chaos, we made a minor but vital adjustment:
Bullish above 5600. Stay mechanical. Stay patient.
That call aged well.
FOMC came and went with all the urgency of a soggy biscuit. The lower Bollinger Band tag arrived right on cue, and with overnight futures up strong, we’re sitting in validation territory.
Now today? 5700 becomes the zone of truth.
It’s the GEX cluster.
It’s the high of the week. (so far)
It’s where a gap-and-go or gap-and-fade could unfold.
If price breaks clean, we could see new highs forming into the weekend. If not, expect a choppy pullback from the open before things stabilise.
Either way…
Already in swings. Already got B&B on. No need to chase.
Let the market come to us.
This is why structure wins.
Expert Insights:
Flipping bias mid-chop – let price confirm. Don’t front-run.
Forcing entries post-gap – wait for structure, not speed.
Ignoring prior levels – 5700 is loaded. Watch for traps.
Missing the post-review edge – yesterday’s trade gives today’s confidence.
Chasing noise into FOMC hangovers – let the dust settle before committing.

Rumour Has It…
Apparently, the Fed’s post-FOMC statement was originally just a shrug emoji and the word “meh” repeated 17 times. When asked to elaborate, the AI bot in charge blinked twice and played a jazz loop. Traders remain unsure if it was dovish or just tired.
This is entirely made-up satire. Probably!

Fun Fact
In 1983, the S&P 500 posted its largest one-day post-Fed reversal at the time, rallying over 3% after a morning selloff – all while inflation was double digits and headlines screamed chaos.

FTSE 100 H4 | Potential bullish bounceThe FTSE 100 (UK100) is falling towards an overlap support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher.

Stop loss is at 8,150.00 which is a level that lies underneath an overlap support.
Take profit is at 8,744.02 which is a multi-swing-high resistance.

DAX INTRADAY uptrend continuationThe DAX40 continues to exhibit bullish sentiment, aligning with the prevailing short term uptrend. Recent price action suggests that the index experienced an oversold rally, which subsequently spiked above near a key resistance zone.
A corrective pullback to 22,826, followed by renewed buying pressure, would likely confirm a bullish reversal, with upside targets at:
23,730 – Near-term resistance
24,000 – Medium-term resistance
24,355 – Long-term resistance level
However, if price breaks and closes firmly below 22,826 on a daily basis, the bullish scenario would be invalidated. In that case, the DAX40 could extend corrective pullback toward:
22,500 – Immediate support
22,250 – Major downside target
Conclusion
The bias remains bullish above 22,826, with rallies from that level offering potential long opportunities. A daily close below 22,826, however, would shift sentiment and open the door for bearish continuation toward lower support levels.
