LONG NQNQ bounced on Daily though finishing with the bearish body. Anyways NQ left Daily FVG above and one more higher in the Daily premium zone. Since yesterday NQ disrespected 1H up closed candles as resistant now I will treat this zone as support for the move higher to rebalance those Daily FVGs. As well there is unfilled regular session opening gap in the area 21192-21350. I have to potential zones to go long based on 15M. The lower zone coincides with disrespected 1H up closed candles zone, so it would be preferable trading zone. Anyways, I will be trying to long from both zones with short stops.

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed lower with a lower wick, as anticipated, with a downward move at the start of the week. As mentioned, the area below 20,700 was a potential support zone for a rebound, and the market successfully bounced back. On the daily chart, the MACD and Signal lines have both dropped below the zero line, marking the first time the MACD has fallen below zero since September last year. Yesterday’s analysis focused on trading around the 3-day moving average; today, trading at the 5-day moving average is expected. A range-bound movement between the 3-day and 5-day moving averages is likely, and if the pre-market touches the 5-day moving average first, it will provide a favorable opportunity for sell-side strategies. While it is uncertain whether the 120-day moving average will be tested for support on the downside, the MACD's dip below zero suggests the potential for accelerated selling. If an overshooting move occurs on the downside, be prepared for a possible drop to the 20,300 area. The market may consolidate at support levels to form a base before reversing its trend. Monitoring the alignment of short-term moving averages on lower timeframes can help identify the reversal point. On the 240-minute chart, selling pressure continues, and the MACD has yet to cross the Signal line in a golden cross. A strong golden cross could trigger a sharp rebound, but if the MACD turns downward again, further declines are possible. Be prepared for both scenarios and adjust accordingly. Oil Crude oil closed higher, supported by potential U.S. sanctions on Russian oil exports. The price has risen to the $79 previous high level, and with the significant divergence from the 5-day moving average, corrections could occur at any time. On the monthly chart, oil has reached the upper Bollinger Band, indicating that managing risk with sell-side strategies at the highs may be more effective than chasing prices upward. On the 240-minute chart, the RSI remains in overbought territory, suggesting that the current trend may continue. However, short sell strategies should be approached cautiously and with short timeframes. The MACD and Signal lines show significant divergence and steep angles, indicating the potential for step-like upward movements even during corrections. Focus on buying at major support levels during pullbacks, but remain cautious as sharp declines could occur unexpectedly. A conservative perspective is advised. Gold Gold closed lower, facing resistance from selling pressure driven by rising Treasury yields. On the weekly chart, the MACD has turned downward, signaling stronger selling pressure. The daily chart shows the MACD above the zero line, but the Signal line has yet to cross above zero, suggesting a consolidation phase as the MACD moves closer to the Signal line. This places gold in a broad range-bound scenario. Ahead of today’s PPI and tomorrow’s CPI releases, gold is expected to trade sideways. On the 240-minute chart, a sell signal has appeared, but with the MACD and Signal lines above zero and diverging, sharp declines are less likely. Instead, support and consolidation around the 2,680 level are more probable. Focus on range-trading strategies, and exercise caution around the PPI release. Market Conditions The market is currently unsettled due to corrections in big tech stocks, Trump’s inauguration, and declines in quantum computing-related stocks. The VIX index is also showing a sharp upward trend, indicating heightened volatility. Be mindful of risk management under these conditions, and have a successful trading day! ■Trading Strategies for Today Nasdaq - Bearish Market -Buy Levels: 20,990 / 20,890 / 20,840 / 20,740 -Sell Levels: 21,160 / 21,200 / 21,300 / 21,350 Oil - Bullish Market -Buy Levels: 77.70 / 76.60 / 75.70 / 74.50 -Sell Levels: 79.45 / 79.90 Gold - Range-bound Market -Buy Levels: 2,677 / 2,672 / 2,666 / 2,661 / 2,654 -Sell Levels: 2,692 / 2,705 / 2,712 / 2,717 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

Looking for more sells on MNQBased on the MNQ chart, the market appears poised for a bearish continuation, with a potential move toward 20,305 by January 20th. Using ICT concepts, the price has recently filled a significant portion of the Daily Fair Value Gap (FVG) between 21,127.50 and 21,742.50, indicating that inefficiencies have been mitigated. This is often a precursor to further movement toward deeper liquidity pools. Below the current price action, there is evident sell-side liquidity around 20,947.75. Furthermore, below recent lows and the displacement to the downside signal institutional bearish intent, with price aggressively seeking lower levels. The level at 20,305 is a logical target, as it represents a deeper liquidity pool and possibly unmitigated levels from prior sessions. The current bearish momentum and redistribution phase suggest that this downward move is part of a larger institutional narrative, making a test of 20,305 likely before January 20th, provided no major bullish catalysts disrupt this progression.

Nasdaq under pressure and aims for 18'400NQ is being pushed down, and a rebound doesn’t seem possible at the moment. There are some fundamental factors supporting this weakness. However, as a chart analyst, I focus on the signals within the chart itself. What I see is a possible target around 18,400, which aligns with the L-MLH. With the weakness of the MAG7, the Nasdaq is unlikely to make further gains. The options are sideways or down. The latter is what I trade according to the rulebook.

Weekly and Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed lower following the non-farm payroll data release. As noted in yesterday’s analysis, the possibility of a sharp drop in the third wave of selling on the 240-minute chart was highlighted and has largely materialized. The monthly 5-day moving average (20,880) emphasized this month acted as support, forming a lower wick. On the weekly chart, the MACD has crossed below the Signal line, generating a sell signal. The index is positioned between the 3-day, 5-day, and 10-day moving averages above and the 20-day moving average below, suggesting the possibility of a range-bound market this week. If the market moves upward at the beginning of the week, it may decline later, and conversely, if it drops initially, a rebound may occur later in the week. The upper range is projected at 21,360–21,400, while the lower range is expected to be below 20,880. Flexible responses to early-week movements are crucial, especially with Wednesday’s CPI release likely to serve as a key turning point. On the daily chart, the MACD and Signal lines remain below the zero line, making sell-side strategies near the 3-day or 5-day moving averages preferable during rebounds. Downward movement toward the 120-day moving average is possible, but there’s a strong likelihood of a rebound after forming a lower wick, so avoid chasing the sell-off. On the 240-minute chart, while selling pressure remains strong in the third wave of the downtrend, support and a potential trend reversal could occur below 20,700. Overall, a sell-on-rebound strategy is advantageous today. Oil Crude oil surged on the possibility of U.S. sanctions on Russian crude exports. As previously noted, oil continues to display a pattern of reversing trends and sharply rising from the bottom. In pre-market trading, prices have already surpassed $78, but with the significant divergence from the 5-day moving average, caution is warranted today. On the weekly chart, the divergence from the 5-week moving average and the presence of previous highs around the $78 range suggest that even if prices rise further, chasing the rally should be avoided. The most favorable scenario this week involves buying on dips near the 5-week moving average, with corrections potentially reaching $73.4–$74. On the daily chart, more time is needed for shorter-term moving averages, such as the 20-day and 60-day, to align with current prices. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD has formed a golden cross, generating a buy signal. However, if prices fail to surge further, divergence in the MACD could occur. Pay attention to potential sell signals and additional declines. As the rapid rise calls for a correction, prices are likely to consolidate around $78 during pre-market trading, making range-bound strategies favorable. Gold Gold surged on Friday due to reduced expectations of a Fed rate cut following employment surprises. On the weekly chart, gold has formed a bullish candle, breaking above key short-term moving averages. However, the significant divergence between the MACD and Signal lines suggests that surpassing the previous high near 2,760 will be challenging. On the daily chart, the MACD is above the zero line, and the Signal line is trending upward, showing a buying trend. Buying on dips near the strong support zone at the 5-day and 60-day moving averages around 2,690 is a favorable short-term strategy. With additional upward movement possible, a buy-on-dips approach is recommended. However, volatility is expected to increase with Tuesday’s PPI and Wednesday’s CPI data, so plan accordingly. On the 240-minute chart, strong buying momentum continues, with the RSI entering the overbought zone, making premature selling risky. Weekly Overview This week, early movements are likely to continue last week’s trends, with a potential inflection point around Wednesday’s CPI data. Manage risks carefully, and have a successful trading week! ■Trading Strategies for Today Nasdaq - Bearish Market -Buy Levels: 20,945 / 20,900 / 20,780 / 20,740 / 20,680 -Sell Levels: 21,110 / 21,210 / 21,310 Oil - Bullish Market -Buy Levels: 76.55 / 76.00 / 75.60 / 74.60 -Sell Levels: 78.35 / 78.85 / 79.45 / 80.00 Gold - Range-bound Market -Buy Levels: 2,713 / 2,703 / 2,695 / 2,685 / 2,677 -Sell Levels: 2,726 / 2,735 / 2,742 / 2,753 / 2,759 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

NQ potential levels on 1D chartLooking from the perspective of AMD model we are expecting the manipulation below the sellside, eventhough the overall move itself is manipulative which takes out the buyers with every next swing down in the range of the previous post. I think we are about to retest the balanced price range where the liquidity is marked by the trend line. the potential fair price for a significant rebound is the previously formed inefficiency which was respected afterwards as can be researched. In case we break that level down with significant strength.

Retracement (BC): The upward retracement of BC was exactly 78.6% of the total downward move (AB). Price action moved up to this level before rejecting. Similarly: After rejecting at 22,118.75, the price dropped to retest at 20,983.75. This resulted in another upward retracement (DE) to 21,872.75, which again represented 78.6% of the previous downward move (CD). On Friday, the lowest tick on NQ was recorded at 20,874.75. If we apply Fibonacci to the most recent downward move: The 78.6% retracement level is at 21,674.00, marking a potential area of interest above. Below, the open areas of interest are: 78.6% retracement at 20,803.50 88.6% retracement at 20,605.75 This highlights key zones for potential price action and reaction points moving forward. Monday NQ Price Action Prediction Key Levels to Watch: Support: 20,803.50 (78.6% retracement): Critical support zone. 20,605.75 (88.6% retracement): Deeper support if the lower level is breached. Resistance: 21,674.00 (78.6% upward retracement): Key resistance zone. 21,872.75: Previous swing high and secondary resistance. Predicted Scenarios: Bullish: A bounce from 20,803.50 could lead to a rally toward 21,674.00. Breaking above 21,674.00 may push prices to 21,872.75. Bearish: Breaking below 20,803.50 could trigger a drop to 20,605.75. Rejection at 21,674.00 may signal continued downside toward support levels.

DXY,SPX;NDX,GOLD WIf you look at my old DXY analysis, it can give you a hint. I mentioned that I'm still biased towards the downside for SPX and NDX. The AI hype is good, but in my opinion, it's causing more harm than good. Meanwhile, wars are ongoing, unstable democracies and many narcissistic people are causing trouble. In addition to all of this, racist parties and mindsets were hyped before WW2 as well.I just want to share:)In my opinion, there will be lightning-fast chaos, I just don't know when.
