Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNASDAQ The NASDAQ closed higher on news of President Trump’s plans to expand AI investments. It surged strongly to the upper Bollinger Band on the daily chart, lifting the MACD above the zero line. However, a gap formed due to Netflix's earnings report, and there is a possibility that this gap could be filled during future corrections. While the signal line remains below the zero line on the daily chart, indicating the potential for a pullback, strong buying momentum on the 240-minute chart suggests the NASDAQ could rise further to the 22200–22300 zone. A sell-off might emerge only if the MACD on the 240-minute chart dead crosses the signal line, signaling a shift to a bearish trend. There is also upside potential to 22250, the upper boundary of the weekly chart, so it's wise to keep this level in mind. For now, focus on buying dips, but keep an eye on the transition from an uptrend (positive alignment) to a downtrend (negative alignment) on the short-term charts. If the 240-minute MACD dead crosses, it could signal a correction, so monitor the price movements closely. CRUDE OIL Crude oil closed lower, consolidating in a box range near the $75 level. The large bullish candle from January 10 serves as a key reference point, with the midpoint of that candle acting as a support level. For a rebound on the daily chart, a bullish candle needs to form. Currently, the MACD is closely aligned with the signal line. If the MACD avoids a dead cross and turns upward, there’s a high chance of a third bullish wave. Keep an eye on the upcoming crude oil inventory data to see if it triggers a trend reversal. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD is attempting to cross above the signal line in the oversold zone, showing a potential for a rebound. With prolonged consolidation around $75, a strong upward move could follow any breakout. Avoid chasing shorts, and if the price drops to $74, it could provide a great buying opportunity. GOLD Gold closed higher, breaking above the 2760 resistance level. This breakout opens the possibility of further gains to the upper Bollinger Band on the weekly chart, around 2780. However, the divergence between the MACD and the signal line on the weekly chart makes a further golden cross less likely, meaning a correction could occur in the next week or two. On the daily chart, the bullish trend remains strong, making it advisable to avoid short positions. The 240-minute chart shows a third bullish wave following a golden cross of the MACD, supporting further gains. Ideally, continued strength above 2780 would prevent a divergence from forming on the MACD, which could lead to a sharp decline if unaddressed. For now, use 2760 as support and focus on range-bound trading while monitoring for a potential breakout above key levels. Always be prepared for volatility and manage risk carefully. Positive market momentum is being driven by new government policies and plans, including tariffs, the Stargate Project, and expanded AI infrastructure investments. These developments could act as catalysts for further gains. Stay updated on these issues, and as always, manage your risks carefully. Best of luck with your trading today! ■Trading Strategies for Today NASDAQ - Range-bound Market -Buy: 21920 / 21870 / 21790 / 21720 -Sell: 22035 / 22075 / 22135 / 22230 Crude Oil - Range-bound Market -Buy: 75.10 / 74.70 / 74.30 / 73.60 -Sell: 75.70 / 76.20 / 76.75 / 77.10 Gold - Bullish Market -Buy: 2759 / 2754 / 2748 / 2738 -Sell: 2771 / 2778 / 2783 / 2794 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

2025-01-22 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. nasdaq e-mini futures comment: Market went a couple of points short of the previous lower high 22111 but it probably won’t mean much. We are close enough that we can retest the ath now. There is a big gap even on futures down to 21700 and if that stay’s open, bulls can go higher. We have the big upper bull trend line that goes to around 22600, so this could be a potential target. Bears need to get below 21900 to turn the market a bit more neutral. current market cycle: trading range (obvious bull trend on lower time frames) key levels: 21800 - 22600 bull case: Strong buying through the day and then a melt-up on US open. Bulls are in full control and have their eyes on the ath 22450. We have two bull trend lines that should hold. One is very close to 21980 which will likely be broken during the Globex session and the next around is currently at 21780. Invalidation is below 21700. bear case: I don’t think bulls should allow the market to fall that much if they want a new ath. Either we keep the momentum going or we might go sideways here and print another lower high. Bears are not doing anything right now except some after hours spikes but they go nowhere. Tuesday night was decent but no follow-through and we have just melted since. First target for the bears is to get below 21900 again and then test the other trend line below us. Invalidation is above 22600. short term: Bullish after pull-backs. I won’t look to short this until bears have shown much more strength. medium-long term - Update from 2024-01-22: Let’s see if we print a new ath and what kind of reaction follows. For now I think we go much more sideways 20000 - 22600/23000. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Buying anywhere below 22000 was pretty amazing since first hour in Globex printed the low.

The NASDAQ is Approaching a Selling OpportunityCurrently, the NASDAQ is showing a strong uptrend on the daily chart, but the gap between the 3-day and 5-day moving averages has significantly widened. Even if the market opens with a gap up today, a pullback is likely due to this divergence, so chasing buys is not recommended. For selling at the top, consider these levels: 21940, 22040, and 22110. Especially near 22040, the resistance zone aligns with the upper Bollinger Band, making it a favorable level for selling. Following President Trump’s announcement of expanded AI infrastructure investments, AI-related stocks like NVIDIA have surged. However, it’s unlikely that the rally will continue significantly from this point. Additionally, the NASDAQ has already triggered a sell signal on the 30-minute chart, and this could cascade into sell signals on the 60-minute, 120-minute, and 240-minute charts. Be cautious about chasing long positions. For dip-buying opportunities, 21770, a previous resistance level, may serve as a good entry point if the market pulls back. Should the price drop to the 5-day moving average, 21630 would offer an even better buying opportunity. I post daily analysis on the NASDAQ, Crude Oil, and Gold.

Wednesday is good day to trade Nasdaq 25.01.22Hello, this is Greedy All-Day. Today’s analysis focuses on the NASDAQ. Tuesday’s Briefing Results Chart: Buy Perspective: A buy position was recommended upon the breakout above 21812. The entry zone is marked with the blue box on the chart. The breakout occurred as a gap-up before the Asian session, resulting in a current gain of approximately 65 points. Profit: $1,300 per contract. Recommendation: Consider closing the position here for a conservative approach, as the target has not yet been reached. Sell Perspective: The black box indicates the sell perspective zone. No sell entries were triggered as the ascending trendline was not broken. Daily Chart Analysis Chart: Key Observations: The current resistance zone is the green box at 21896.75, which aligns with the high from January 6, 2025. A breakout above this zone would open the next supply zone at the orange box highs, with major resistances at 22111.25 and 22425.75. While further upside is possible, historical patterns suggest caution: three instances of sharp declines occurred near similar zones. Recommendation: Stay flexible and prepared for movement in either direction rather than committing to a single bias. NASDAQ Scenario Analysis Chart: Scenario 1: Rising Wedge Continuation The NASDAQ has been rising in a stair-step fashion since the 21173.5 low, with pullbacks testing support after breaking resistance trendlines. Evidence: After breaking the blue resistance trendline, the price retested the yellow box before continuing upward. If 21896.75 (major resistance) fails to break, the price may retest the blue box (red trendline support). Optimal Strategy: Wait for a breakout above the major resistance at 21896.75 before entering long positions. Scenario 2: Sharp Decline Possibility Historical patterns (green box and orange box) show that during the Asian and European sessions, the NASDAQ often rises, forms a supply zone, then sharply declines before the U.S. session. A similar sharp drop from the red box zone is possible. Today’s Trading Strategy Chart: Buy Strategy: None. Reason: Although a breakout above 21896.75 could signal a buy, the risk level is high. New buy entries are not recommended. Sell Strategy: Entry 1: Trigger: Break below the green ascending trendline and 21696.25. Reason: A breakdown would indicate a potential retest of major support levels (refer to earlier chart analysis). Entry 2: Trigger: Break below the orange ascending trendline. Reason: Completion of the rising wedge pattern (refer to earlier chart analysis). Conclusion The NASDAQ is approaching a critical juncture: For buyers: A breakout above 21896.75 could lead to further upside, but entry at current levels carries significant risk. For sellers: Focus on trendline breakdowns, particularly below 21696.25 or the orange ascending trendline, to confirm potential downside momentum. Stay cautious, monitor key levels, and trade strategically. 🚀

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNASDAQ The NASDAQ closed higher, combining two days of movement into one candle. As anticipated, it rose during the pre-market session but declined during the main session. The daily chart formed a bullish candle, confirming yesterday's buy signal. The bullish trend on the daily chart is likely to continue, but with the current significant gap between the 3-day and 5-day moving averages, a pullback followed by renewed buying pressure is expected. It is essential to focus on dip-buying rather than chasing prices. However, keep in mind that the weekly chart still shows a sell signal, and both the MACD and signal line on the daily chart remain below the zero line, indicating the possibility of a reversal to a bearish wave at any time. On the 240-minute chart, the buy signal is intact, and the upward trend continues. However, there is no significant improvement in market liquidity. A strong bullish candle that breaks the box range is needed, but such a move has not yet materialized. Therefore, pre-market sessions may show mixed movements. Selling at resistance levels for box-range trading is advisable. Be mindful of potential volatility due to executive orders from President Trump, which could lead to sharp price swings. CRUDE OIL Crude oil closed lower, finding support at the $75 level. As mentioned previously, the $74–$75 range aligns with the 5-day moving average on the weekly chart and serves as a critical support zone, making it a favorable area for dip-buying. With a 400-tick drop from the $79 high and no dead cross between the MACD and signal line on the daily chart, there is a high probability that oil will rebound as the MACD supports the signal line. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD and signal line have dipped below the zero line, which could accelerate selling momentum. However, the 60-period moving average on the 240-minute chart continues to slope upward, suggesting that selling should be avoided and buying at key support levels is a better approach. GOLD Gold closed higher, leaving a lower wick near key support levels. On the weekly chart, resistance remains overhead, but the daily chart indicates that the trend could continue upward, making dip-buying a favorable strategy. The MACD and signal line on the daily chart remain in an upward trajectory, and a breakout above the 2760 resistance level could open the way to 2780. On shorter timeframes, consolidation followed by a golden cross of the MACD and signal line is evident, while the 240-minute chart has also confirmed a golden cross. Although further upside is likely, the significant divergence between the MACD and its previous peaks on the 240-minute chart increases the probability of divergence after a substantial rally. Therefore, refrain from chasing prices after a sharp rise and instead focus on buying dips near key support levels while monitoring the breakout above 2760. Market volatility is intensifying due to President Trump’s remarks. Similar patterns were observed during his first term, as his statements, often made via social media, caused significant fluctuations in the futures markets. Ensure proper stop-loss levels and manage risks carefully in this volatile environment. ■Trading Strategies for Today NASDAQ - Range-bound Market -Buy: 21770 / 21710 / 21630 / 21590 / 21530 -Sell: 21880 / 21940 / 22040 / 22110 Crude Oil - Bullish Market -Buy: 75.10 / 74.60 / 73.60 / 73.00 -Sell: 76.30 / 76.70 / 77.10 / 77.50 Gold - Bullish Market -Buy: 2751 / 2743 / 2738 / 2731 -Sell: 2767 / 2777 / 2782 / 2787 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

NQ: 125th trading session - recapBit unfortunate today, could've had such a great trade... Everything about the trade and why it could've been so good is explained on the chart, it is pretty simple actually. What made me a bit nervous was that the opening range was tilted to the downside. I don't really like trading in the direction of the range, I would've been way more confident in a bullish breakout. But I do gotta say that it's not the first time that an opening range breakout in the direction of the tilt played out really well. It probably doesn't matter anyway. Again, momentum > structure. Overall we got a really solid chop afterwards. Still working on a strategy that revolves around it. I won't trade the opening tomorrow, but I will keep an eye on the price action afterwards.

NASDAQ, all sell signals are about to alignThe Nasdaq is currently showing sell signals on the 60-minute, 120-minute, and 240-minute charts, indicating a high possibility of further decline. If a bearish candle forms on the 240-minute chart as well, the sell signal will be confirmed, making additional price drops inevitable. The direction of the candles is expected to be determined in about 2 hours, and if the price falls, there could be a strong downward shockwave breaking below 21,500, so caution is advised. On the daily chart, the price is still supported by the 5-day moving average, so it may temporarily appear to rise. However, a clear buy signal has not yet appeared, and the price is likely to test the lower support level around 21,000, potentially forming a double bottom. Aggressive chasing of a buy position is not recommended at this point; it would be more advantageous to sell at the highs. The key support level for buying is projected to be 21,570. If this level is breached, buying from the lower range would be the most favorable strategy. It is unlikely that a significant upward surge in buying will occur today, so it is better to focus on selling during any price increases.
