Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq
The Nasdaq closed higher, forming a gap up on the daily chart. It showed a strong, one-directional rebound up to the 5-week moving average on the weekly chart.
Since the 5-week MA overlaps with the 60-week MA, it's unlikely to break through easily without a short-term correction.
On the daily chart, the MACD has formed a golden cross, meaning that even if a pullback occurs, the strategy should remain buy-on-dip oriented.
There is still an open gap down to 19,960, which could be filled at any time—so it's important to consider the possibility of a retest of that level. If the gap is filled, that area could be a good support zone to buy from.
On the 240-minute chart, strong buying momentum entered around the zero line, confirming a breakout after basing in a range. Therefore, buying on pullbacks remains the preferred approach in this structure.
Crude Oil
Crude oil continued its upward move, closing higher on the daily chart.
With strong support around the $68 level, the market could potentially rise toward the $70 zone, and possibly test resistance between $70–$71, which is a key area to watch closely.
Overall, traders should continue to buy on dips, but be cautious with chasing long positions above $70. If taking short positions, they should be managed with tight stop-losses.
On the 240-minute chart, oil appears to be in the midst of a third wave rally, so any short positions should be considered above $70, while buying pullbacks remains valid.
Current Middle East tensions and U.S. sanctions on Venezuelan oil are contributing to a supply risk premium in oil prices.
Since the market is recovering from the lows and showing a positive technical setup, short trades should be managed carefully with proper risk control.
Gold
Gold closed lower, remaining within its range-bound structure. On the daily chart, gold is currently trading between the 3-day and 5-day MAs above, and the 10-day MA below, forming a narrow consolidation zone. This makes sell-at-highs and buy-at-lows strategies effective.
Since there's room for a pullback to the 5-week MA on the weekly chart, chasing longs is not advised. If the MACD crosses below the signal line, this could create a bearish divergence, leading to potential sharp downside, so caution is warranted.
On the 240-minute chart, the MACD is failing to break above the signal line and continues to decline. However, since the signal line remains above the zero line, a rebound attempt is likely, even if the MACD dips below zero.
Given the current slope and distance, it's unlikely that a golden cross will form soon. Also, traders should keep in mind that major economic data such as GDP and PCE reports are scheduled later this week, which could influence market direction.
If you can understand the daily chart structure, you can better anticipate intraday high/low ranges and potential wave patterns. Make it a habit to perform thorough daily chart analysis each day, and prepare a trading scenario that suits the market’s behavior. As always, questions are welcome.
Wishing you a successful trading day!

#202512 - priceactiontds - weekly update - nasdaq e-mini futuresGood Day and I hope you are well.
comment: Bulls were not strong enough to trap late bears and every bear selling below 19700 had multiple chances of exiting break-even or even with a profit. I still think we need to see a bigger bounce but for now market is in balance at 19800, which is bad for the bulls. We need to form a proper channel down and going sideways to do so would be amazing for the bears and a show of big strength by them. 23 days earlier we were trading couple points below ath. Volume last week was low but I can’t see this breaking down again this early after that much selling. I still expect 20400/20700 to be hit next week. Anything above would be bad for bears.
current market cycle: strong bear trend but pullback expected
key levels: 19300 - 20700
bull case: Bulls stopped the selling and printed a green week, which was only due to a 100 point rally in the final 10min of Friday. They are expect to bounce this higher but for now it’s not happening. Their first target is a daily close above 20k and next would be the daily 20ema around 20300. Market has now touched the bull trend line from 2023-01, 3 times and it also touched the monthly 20ema 3 times with it. I can not see this just breaking down below it, without a bigger bounce.
Invalidation is below 19100.
bear case: Bears showing incredible strength by keeping the market mostly below 20k. They even printed a couple ticks below the previous low on Friday, which means lower lows and higher highs and that’s always something that happens in trading ranges, not in trends. Bears are fine with going sideways because they can hold on to longer term positions comfortably. As long as any bounce stays below the 50% retracement to 20700, bears are good and expect more selling after we have formed a proper channel. You can never expect a -14% move to just get more follow-through selling after a couple of days. If any market does it, it’s a parabolic climax which can go on for long but are unsustainable. My best guess on how the next weeks could play out is in my chart since last week and is valid until market does something very different.
Invalidation is above 21100.
short term: Still… Heavy bullish bias for 20000 and likely 20400. Above 20500 air would get real thin again, if this was the start of a bear market. For now I think the pattern from 2024-07 is more likely to repeat than the bear trend as drawn on the chart. No updates since we moved sideways. Important to note, again, is that the longer the market stays at these lows, the more accepted the prices are and the higher the odds of another strong leg down.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-03-16: My most bearish target for 2025 was 17500ish, given in my year-end special. We don’t know if we have printed the W1 of the new bear trend or repeat the pattern from 2024, where we sold of very strong to reverse even more strongly and make new all time highs. Market needs a bounce and around 20000/20500 we will see the real battle for the next weeks.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Updated the possible bear trend and added a bullish alternative to show what we did in 2024. For now the bullish path is more likely.
$NQ IdeaAnalyzing the NQ for the upcoming week, we observe that the price held at the monthly OB, where an SMT also formed, reinforcing the indication of a bullish continuation from that point.
On the daily chart, we identify a shift in market structure, evidenced by the presence of an SMT + MSS, followed by a continuation purge of the price. Given this, we understand that our weekly DOL will initially be the daily CRT High and the Weekly FVG, although the final target may be the monthly Range High.
Additionally, based on the economic calendar, we anticipate more significant movements on Monday, Thursday, and Friday due to news related to the dollar.
It is important to emphasize that this analysis is based solely on price action, and macroeconomic factors may impact the market throughout the week. Therefore, we must be prepared for potential changes in the scenario.
Enhance Your Trading with Dual MACD OverlaysBy using two MACD overlays—one based on the current timeframe and another on a higher timeframe—you gain a more comprehensive view of market momentum. This approach helps identify short-term opportunities while aligning trades with the broader trend, reducing false signals. As seen in my chart, combining multiple MACD perspectives can improve decision-making and trade timing.
Try it out and refine your strategy with better trend confirmation!
