Click chart above to see the detailed analysis👆🏻
The Nasdaq rallied an incredible +25% over the past couple of months and is now actually also breaking a major resistance trendline towards the upside. This could still turn into a false breakout but if it doesn't, we will most likely see a flourishing stock market year of 2025
Levels to watch: $21.000, $28.000

NAS100USD: Anticipating Temporary Bearish Order Flow?Greetings Traders,
Today's analysis highlights significant bullish momentum in NAS100USD, driven by the heavy volatility following the CPI news release. Despite the bullish institutional order flow, there is potential for temporary bearish order flow. This could either serve as a brief retracement to meet specific objectives before continuing the bullish trend or, possibly, a full reversal of price action. While we must wait for further market confirmation, current conditions provide an opportunity to target the sell stop objectives highlighted on the chart.
Key Observations and Confluences:
1. Institutional Price Delivery Insight:
At present, price is positioned in a premium zone and has recently taken out Engineered Resistance Liquidity, where premium buy stops reside. Institutions often use this liquidity to pair orders by selling against these buy stops.
Institutions, having sold at a premium, will aim to buy back positions at a discount (a process associated with profit-taking). Therefore, we anticipate price to move towards liquidity pools at lower discount levels.
2. Trendline Liquidity:
The chart also reveals engineered trendline liquidity, a classic setup where retail traders buy along the trendline, leaving their stop losses below. Institutions view these stop losses as sell stops, representing willing sellers against whom they can close their buy positions. This makes these lows prime targets for institutional activity.
The current evidence provides a strong foundation to anticipate bearish price action towards these liquidity pools, offering a strategic opportunity to align with the institutional narrative.
If you have any insights, questions, or additional analysis, feel free to share them in the comments below. Let's collaborate and grow together as traders.

NAS 100 BREAKER BLOCK SHORT! With Price action giving us strong rejection wicks at our area of interest, breaking through the Swing low (Break & Retest set up), along with sweeping buy side liquidity formed at the Daily support level.
Price is poised for a pull back to the breaker block (Structure Low). If we receive a Bearish confirmation, once price reaches the Breaker Block. This would be a good and confident short entry. Watch your risk as we are still above the subjective Bullish Trend line
Take profit 1 at The FVG 21,245
Take profit 2 (Stretch Goal) is the 38.2 Fib retracement level.
* If we see a 38.2 retracement this should be a rejection off of the subjective "Bullish Trendline"
** Volume is giving us a great push down from the breaker block, Also just above TP2 is another area of great volume that could server as potential support.

NASDAQ: Bullish until March 2025.Nasdaq is overbought on the 1D timeframe (RSI = 72.532, MACD = 396.420, ADX = 56.355) and is about to do the same on the 1W as well (RSI = 69.424). This is because the Bull Cycle is on full extent. However, in anticipation of Q1 2025, we are entering the final phase of the Cycle. This is a Top sequence that we've seen three time before in the last 10 years. The early signal for this is when the 3W RSI forms overbought (RSI > 70.000) LH. Each time that happened, the index had a sharp drop to at least the 3W MA50. TP = 19,000 could be an early target.

Nasdaq 100 Reaches Record HighNasdaq 100 Reaches Record High
On 29th October, analysing the Nasdaq 100 (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen) chart, we:
→ Drew a blue upward channel relevant for 2024.
→ Noted that the price was in a consolidation phase (indicated by narrowing purple lines) at the channel's median, suggesting a potential balance of supply and demand forces.
→ Warned that earnings season could trigger a volatility spike.
→ Suggested that the price was likely heading toward a new all-time high.
Since then:
→ Amid company earnings reports, we observed a volatility spike in November, which was further amplified by the release of US presidential election results.
→ The index achieved a new all-time high.
The Nasdaq 100 (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen) chart shows that the index surpassed the $22,000 level for the first time yesterday. This was supported by positive trader sentiment ahead of tomorrow's Fed interest rate decision. According to Forex Factory, the rate will be cut by another 25 basis points (returning to the February 2023 level).
Meanwhile, the technical analysis of the Nasdaq 100 (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen) reveals that:
→ The price has approached the upper boundary of the upward channel, which could serve as strong resistance.
→ Since early December, the index has risen by approximately 5.5%, and the RSI indicator has entered the overbought zone for the first time since July.
Under such conditions, bulls may struggle to continue the upward momentum, as more investors might look to lock in profits ahead of the holiday season. Additionally, the market's reaction to tomorrow's Fed interest rate release at 21:00 GMT+2 may play a key role.

My expectations for Nasdaq 100Hi guys, I hope you are doing well
** The index jumped up and passed two important resistance lines and even settled on them
** The index also passed my Fib so important level 23.6% and needs only to settle on then surge up towards my TP level
** The Used time frame on the chart is 4H and I used also the daily and the weekly frames for that analysis
** I see that there is a room to surge up too my second Fib retracement level but I prefer currently to set my long to the TP on the chart to avoid a possible retracement!

NASDAQ rally still has lots of upside before is tops.Nasdaq (NDX) is technically respecting the 2-year Channel Up that it's been trading in since the December 26 2022 market bottom. Its most recent Higher Low was on the August 05 2024 1W candle, which initiated the Bullish Leg we're currently in.
As you see, the previous two Bullish Legs had one main pull-back/ correction sequence each and apart from that, the majority of the Leg was technically a straight uptrend. Given that the current Bullish Leg already had a strong pull-back early on (August 26 - September 02 1W candles), it may continue to rise up to its target without another correction, assuming the 1D MA100 (red trend-line) holds.
If however it has another pull-back similar to the previous Bullish Leg (March 04 - April 15 2024), then it should rise some more near the 0.236 Fibonacci level and then pull-back.
In any event, the current level is technically a solid long-term buy entry and since both previous Bullish Legs have been around +48%, we expect to see 25300 before the current one tops.

Nasdaq Intraday Review - Monday 16 Dec 2024I trade Nasdaq exclusively
Trading in GMT time zone
Sharing my post day review and analysis in case it can help you!
Did my analysis at +- 5:30 am GMT (00:30 am EST)
Economic news - None, FOMC this Wednesday
News - None
Directional bias - BUY, Nasdaq is bullish overall so want to trade with the trend - "The trend is your friend".
Morning analysis:
M TF - Very Bullish, large green candle in formation
W TF - Very Bullish, large green candle in formation
D TF - Friday's candle closed in a rough doji candle formation which could signal that bulls are running out of steam to push price higher. But the candle did close green higher than the previous D highest candle close. So bulls did manage to break the resistance of the previous Day's highest close. I took this to be a bullish signal.
4H TF - Price gapped up as extended hours started trading today. Bulls pushed upwards and when I opened my charts there were a few red candles on the 1H TF.
1H TF - Noted a temporary downtrend line formed (marked in turquoise).
Noted 2 x interest areas / areas of confluence (marked in green highlight):
1. Top green area = 1H + D + 4H fib levels + Day pivot point. This represents time frame confluence and a great area of reversal.
2. Bottom green area = 4h EMA (at some point this morning, it has now moved due to passage of time) + 4H + D 0.618 fib level.
4H fib drawn from swing low at A. to swing high at B.
1H fib drawn from swing low at C to swing high at D.
As the day progressed:
Price started reacting to the top highlighted green area, until a DB formed on the 15min TF, signalling that price was ready to move up.
Entered in the green candle close at the hand icon, which represents a nice momentum candle + breaking the temporary downtrend line.
Confirmations:
1. Market pattern - DB on the 15min TF = reversal pattern in the direction I want
2. S&R - DB formed above the pivot point + 1H EMA providing dynamic support
3. Trend - Temporary downtrend line broken and trade is in the overall direction of the market
4. Fib - Price reacting to 1H + 4H + D fib levels representing strong TF confluence
5. Candlesticks - DB neckline broken with a strong momentum candle on the 15min TF
Mental SL placed at half the height of the 15min DB (marked with the think pink line).
Price moved up nicely and I took partial profits at the top hand icon at 1'725 pips, which represented the TP1 of the 4H / D fib extension (as shown).
Holding the rest until candles give the indication to close eg. DT forming on the 15min TF, with neckline broken down.
Easy peasy day at my trading desk - wish every day was this easy! :)
Hope you had a good day!

NAS100USD: Targeting Liquidity in Discount PricesGreetings Traders!
In today’s analysis of NAS100USD, bearish institutional order flow remains dominant, characterized by a sustained downtrend and multiple bearish breaks of structure. This bearish momentum presents clear opportunities to capitalize on selling setups.
Key Observations:
1. Premium Price Retracement:
Price has retraced into premium levels, where premium buy stops were taken.
At these levels, institutions likely entered sell positions against willing buyers, a process known as order pairing.
2. Liquidity Targeting:
Institutions that sold at premium prices will aim to book profits at discount prices, targeting sell-side liquidity pools.
This aligns with the fundamental principle of selling in premium zones and taking profits in discount zones.
Trading Strategy:
Entry : Seek confirmation in premium price zones before entering sell positions, ensuring alignment with institutional order flow.
Target: Focus on the liquidity pools in discount price zones as the primary profit-taking objective.

NAS100USD: Capitalizing on Bearish Displacement!Greetings Traders!
In today’s analysis of NAS100USD, the M15 timeframe shows a recent shift to bearish price action, marked by significant displacement to the downside. This displacement provides strong evidence of institutional sell order distribution, as seen in the large bearish candles that led to a bearish break of structure.
Key Observations:
1. Premium Price Retracement:
After the bearish break, price retraced into deep premium levels, where institutional arrays are present.
These premium zones offer opportunities to seek confirmations for selling toward discount prices.
2. Breaker Block as a Key Zone:
Price has retraced into a premium breaker block, a critical mitigation zone.
What is a Breaker Block?
Breaker blocks are mitigation zones created as institutions mitigate losses from opposing orders placed during the prior trend.
Once price retraces to these zones, institutions close those losing positions and reinstate new orders to align with the prevailing trend.
Trading Strategy:
Entry: Look for confirmation at the premium breaker block to align with institutional order flow.
Target: The primary target is the liquidity pool in discount prices, adhering to the principle of selling in premium and booking profits in discount zones, mirroring institutional strategies.
If you have insights or questions, feel free to share them in the comments. Let’s analyze, learn, and succeed together!

Elliott Wave Analysis and Fibonacci Projections for US 100CAPITALCOM:US100
The Elliott Wave Theory identifies 5 impulsive waves in the direction of the trend, followed by 3 corrective waves:
Impulse Waves (1-2-3-4-5): Main trend movement.
Corrective Waves (A-B-C): Countertrend correction.
2. Detailed Analysis of Observed Waves
Wave 1: Initial Upward Impulse
Definition: This is the first wave that initiates a new trend, driven by optimistic investors.
Key Level on Your Chart:
The bottom of Wave 1 is observed at 21,571.8, marking the trend’s starting point.
Wave 2: Correction of Wave 1
Definition: This wave corrects a portion of Wave 1, typically between 38.2% and 61.8% of Fibonacci retracements.
Interpretation: The correction does not breach the starting point of Wave 1.
Observation:
Wave 2's correction stays above the critical support.
Wave 3: Strongest Impulse Wave
Definition: This is typically the longest and strongest wave, often extending 1.618 times Wave 1.
Key Features:
It surpasses the high of Wave 1 and creates a significant trend move.
Key Level on Your Chart:
The peak of Wave 3 is at 22,133.4, confirming a strong upward move.
Wave 4: Intermediate Correction
Definition: Wave 4 corrects part of Wave 3 but does not overlap with Wave 1’s territory.
Typical Retracement: Between 23.6% and 50% of Wave 3 (Fibonacci levels).
Observation:
The low of Wave 4 is seen at 21,946.8, aligning with a retracement between 38.2% and 50%, indicating a moderate pullback.
Wave 5: Final Impulse Wave
Definition: This wave continues the trend but is usually weaker than Wave 3.
Projection:
Fibonacci extensions project Wave 5 to end around 0.618x or 1.0x of the distance between Wave 1 and Wave 3.
Key Level on Your Chart:
Wave 5 is projected to reach 22,400 (based on a 61.8% extension).
3. Fibonacci Levels and Wave Validation
Fibonacci Retracements:
Wave 2: Corrects 38.2%–61.8% of Wave 1.
Wave 4: Corrects 23.6%–50% of Wave 3.
Fibonacci Extensions:
Wave 3: Often extends 1.618x the length of Wave 1.
Wave 5: Projected at 0.618x or 1.0x the total move of Wave 1–3.
4. Validating the Elliott Wave Scenario
To ensure the waves on your chart follow the Elliott Wave principles:
Wave 2 does not retrace more than 100% of Wave 1.
Wave 3 is not the shortest of the three impulsive waves (1, 3, 5).
Wave 4 does not overlap the territory of Wave 1.
5. Observations and Projections
Based on your key levels:
Wave 3 successfully formed a strong impulse at 22,133.4.
Wave 4 retraced to 21,946.8, aligning with Fibonacci retracement levels.
Wave 5 is projected to reach approximately 22,400, based on the 61.8% Fibonacci extension.
6. Recommendations
Monitor Fibonacci levels to confirm Wave 5's target near 22,400.
Use indicators like RSI or MACD to detect divergences, signaling potential Wave 5 exhaustion.
Validate Elliott Wave rules to avoid misinterpretations.
How to flip $2,000 into a million in a bubble. In this post I want to share with you an idea I've shared with my friends irl who have market exposure.
Heading into the 2022 high I strongly encouraged my friends to sell stocks. We were heading into a multi decade resistance level and I'd put the odds somewhere around 80% there'd be a notable reaction to this level. Could be a pullback, could be a crash. If it's a pullback it's easy to get back in, not so easy to get out in a crash. So, no brainer.
Late 2022 I started to tell them it was worth getting back in as long as they used good stop loss rules and then when we got to a 76% retracement of the 2022 drop I started to explain the concept I'll discuss in this post to them.
First let's lay the groundwork for this.
We can focus on the things we know. It's a known that indices have uptrended for a long time. And it's a known of trend development that trends do not get slower. A trend is always increasing in velocity. It goes up faster and faster and then when it comes down it comes down faster than it went up.
This is always what happens. Trends speed up. Regardless of the direction.
Now, in 2022 we hit a multiple decade resistance. This was evidenced by a local market top. Confirming the market also seems to care about this level.
Whatever happens, this is likely to be a major pivot point in the trend. Either we'll top out here or well head into a stage of hyper overperformance. In this overperformance, we will likely see indices up 100% from the current highs. 200 - 300% is on the table, 100% is a number that would have high odds of hitting, based on historical breaks like this.
And if the resistance is actionable, this could all come crashing down in a horrific way.
If you accept these premises that the market is due to either crash up or crash down, then it makes no sense at all to have common stock exposure (Or whatever you prefer).
If the long bet is wrong, you can take crippling losses and if the long bet is right you can make a lot more money betting on the hyper aggressive breakout.
Around 4500 I started to tell my friends this. I told them if I was them I'd drop my stocks. Bank the profits on those and then I'd take 10 - 20% of what I'd made in profits and use these to buy a portfolio of aggressive OTM calls.
My thinking here is if the market yanks, no big deal. SPX could drop 90% and my friends would take rather nominal losses. Giving back a fraction of what they made in the rally rather than seeing all their positions go from profits top negative.
On the other side of the coin, if the breakout comes - they'd make a lot more on the calls than they'd make with common. Depending on aggression level, they'd make a crazy amount more.
A rally similar to the Nasdaq breakout would translate as something like this on SPX.
At this moment in time you can buy Jan 2027 calls for under $150. In the event this move happened, these would be worth min over $65,000. A bit under $75,000 if the move is completed faster and this is not even accounting for the potential of an IV boost if the market goes into hyper performance.
$2,000 into a series of bets on that happening would return over a million in the event that it did actually happen.
This is not without risk. The plan I proposed to my friends has one main risk and that is the market slowly continues to uptrend. Making good gains but not hitting the bubble conditions to make it realistic these deep OTMs actually trade (For context, the statistical probability of profit on these right now is 0.2% - something would have to change).
In that scenario, they'd take some small losses on the call portfolio and they'd have missed out on whatever the gain of just owning the underlying asset would be.
That's the potential cost of the bet. On the upside of that, my friends who had 10s or even 100s of thousands exposure to the bear move can covert this to a few grand risk and still make mega bank if the bubble thesis comes into play.
If SPX hits the 100% move inside of 2 years, these calls pay somewhere around $25,000 per $130 risked. In the event this heads into a blow off event they start to get up to close to $100,000 on those positions.
This is hyper high RR way to bet on a developing bubble. Ensure you do not have excessive losses in a crash and the price of this is basically you convert your bet into a bet that the market will not range. If the market ranges for a year or two, this idea suffers.
I think this is the wise thing to do at this point if speculating in stocks. We're into a binary level in my opinion. A polarising decision will come in this area.
The smart thing to do is to put a hard cap on risk exposure so all bearish tail events do not hurt you and have the potential to make 1,000s of % of profit in the event of a bullish tail event.
I think the probability of a tail event in the coming years is high now. Rarely is the probability of a tail event high, but rarely do we test multiple decades of resistance in indices.
There is so much that can be made or lost in a tail event, that it makes a lot of sense to think about how you can structure bets to survive or thrive in the different outcomes.
If this proves to not be the end stages of a bubble, then I think it's only reasonable to assume we're actually somewhere in the middle of a bubble.
Which means something exceptional is likely to come in the following years - whatever way this inflection point resolves itself.
In my opinion, if you want to bet on continued up moves in indices, you might as well bet on a full fledged bubble.
The odds of indices breaking resistance and slowly limping higher I consider super low. I think we reverse or we fly. I have my bets structured to benefit from either one.
