Moving Averages

Steel Dynamics Could Be Fighting Higher Steel Dynamics hit a record high on Tuesday after earnings beat estimates. Now, after a pullback, some traders may see potential for more upside. The first pattern on today’s chart is the October 9 closing price of $147.78. STLD was trapped below that level for more than a week, but it ripped through resistance following quarterly results. The stock remained above it the next two sessions as it fell and bounced, which may suggest new support is emerging above an old high. Second is the November 2024 all-time high of $155.56. The steelmaker has made an initial probe of that level. Will another test be more successful? Third, notice how the moving averages have spread out since September. The 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is above the 21-day EMA and the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is above the 200-day SMA. That may suggest its short- and long-term trends are getting more bullish. Finally, MACD has been rising.

EURUSD Short: Setup After Fake Breakout and Supply RejectionHello, traders! The market for EURUSD has been developing within a well-defined descending structure, characterized by lower highs and consistent rejection from the upper supply levels. After the earlier breakout from the falling wedge formation, the price transitioned into a broad consolidation range between the 1.1720 Supply Zone and the 1.1545 Demand Zone. This structure represents a balanced market phase, where buyers and sellers are testing control over short-term direction. Currently, the price has once again approached the upper boundary of the range — the 1.1720 Supply Level — and faced a clear rejection. This move suggests that sellers are still defending this zone and that the market remains trapped within the broader consolidation phase. My scenario anticipates a continuation of the decline from the Supply Zone. The recent rejection confirms the presence of strong selling interest and indicates that the next likely move will be a rotation back toward the Demand Zone near 1.1545. Therefore, I’m watching for continued bearish momentum, with the take-profit target placed at 1.1545, in alignment with the lower boundary of the range. Manage your risk.

$RIG approaching 200W moving averageNYSE:RIG is approaching its 200-week smoothed moving average on unusually strong volume. I will be watching for a clear break and support on it. The last time this occurred, the stock doubled. With growing recent volume, a strong uptrend appears to be in play. This narrative could develop significantly if geopolitics continue to push oil and gas. Additionally, D. E. Shaw upped their holdings of NYSE:RIG by +1,000% last quarter (between the orange vertical lines), which I like to see.

NICU - LONG - Magna Mining - Finally a FOMO releiving pullback. A well-earned pullback after a parabolic Wave 3 run, aligning perfectly with the Q3 production and Levack assay releases. The market read the updates as solid but not spectacular — a case of “good results, high expectations.” Price action tagged the 1.0 Fib extension near 2.57 CAD, right on top of the 50-day SMA, confirming early Wave 4 development inside the 2.35 – 2.65 CAD retracement zone. The 20 EMA has now rolled over to act as short-term resistance around 2.80 CAD, while the 50 SMA rises to provide confluence support beneath. This structure remains fully intact within the bullish Elliott model — a healthy mean reversion rather than trend failure. A daily close back above 2.80 CAD would suggest Wave 4 completion and signal the next advance toward the 3.14–3.30 CAD Wave 5 zone.

RGTI : First Long Position AreaNASDAQ listed Rigetti Computing Inc. stock is currently trading above the 50 and 200 period moving averages. Once it gained momentum, it later lost it but its outlook is not weak at the moment. Right now, if the Iran-Israel war uncertainty is overcome and if there is no bad news affecting the index, the gap may close. Risk/Reward ratio of 3.00 is a very valuable ratio to try with small position amounts. Risk/Reward Ratio : 3.00 Stop-Loss : 9.91 Take-Profit : 18.2 Regards.

HIMX 1D - eyes back on the screen?Himax Technologies is shaping a strong setup: after breaking above the downtrend line, the stock is now retesting the $8.70–$9.00 support zone, aligning perfectly with previous resistance and short-term EMAs. It’s a textbook breakout + retest situation. All moving averages (MA/EMA/SMA) are below the price, confirming that buyers are in control. The bullish targets are set at $10.41 and $12.49. As long as the $8.70 level holds, the uptrend scenario stays valid. On the fundamental side, Himax remains a key player in display driver ICs, particularly for AR/VR and automotive applications. With the growing adoption of smart displays and head-up tech, the stock could light up again. Tactical plan: watch $8.7–9.0 carefully. If buyers hold the line - it’s showtime. If not - let the chip cool down before the next rally.

Potential Breakout in Apple Apple has been trapped as the broader Nasdaq rallies, but that might have changed yesterday. The first pattern on today’s chart is the December 26 closing price of $259.02. AAPL paused near that level in early October but closed above it yesterday. That may be viewed as a potentially bullish breakout. Second, the tech giant surged on September 22 after The Information reported suppliers were told to increase component production. That was the first clue of strong demand for the iPhone 17. Another report from Counterpoint Research on Monday noted strong early sales of the new handset. Third, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a bullish “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA last month. That may suggest its longer-term trend is getting more bullish. Fourth, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is above the 21-day EMA. That may reflect a bullish short-term trend. Next, stochastics recently turned up from an oversold condition. Finally, AAPL is a highly active underlier in the options market. (Its average daily volume of 790,000 contracts ranks fifth in the S&P 500, according to TradeStation data.)

Kaspa $KAS bullish 21 EMA breakout on the 4hrly chart.CRYPTO:KASUSD #Kaspa breaking out on the 4hrly above the dashed-white resistance line as well as the red 21 EMA. Waiting for current candle close above the red 21 EMA for confirmation. Continuing to DCA during the fear and uncertainty (US-Gov Shutdown, PRC +100% Tarifs, QE looming, etc.) to accumulate in anticipation of FUD eventually being resolved. Managed to buy a lot more CRYPTO:KASUSD with CRYPTOCAP:BTC at ca. 3 cents and still DCAing atm. Got caught off guard by the +100% PRC tariff triggered mass liquidation induced dump. But only the price has changed, fundamentals kept on improving. If 10 cents was a good buy. 3 cents and now 5 cents+ is a way better accumulation level, while the market remains fearful and bleeding red. FusionGap Histogram has also flipped bullish on the 3hrly (an early signal to the 4hrly if price holds above 21 EMA).

Orion S.A.| OEC | Long at $5.75Orion NYSE:OEC : Another chemicals company in the dumps, but is it justified - long-term? Technical Analysis Price fell through my "crash" simple moving average zone (green lines). The last time this happened the price moved down to my "major crash" zone (gray lines) and subsequently rallied to a 4x investment 1.5 years later. Not to say that same trajectory will happen, but this company (like all chemical companies) are historically cyclical. The price may continue to drop into the $3's in the near-term and complete the "major crash" touch, but a longer-term outlook is likely to generate positive returns... likely... Growth A bad 2025, but beyond that, projections show growth in earnings and revenue through 2027: www.tradingview.com Fair Value and Health Fair value: $8.30 Tangible Fair Value: $6.58 Company cut its 2025 guidance due to softer demand and shifted focus to free cash flow generation. Debt-to-equity: 2.19x (high) Action While this is mostly a technical analysis play, there are so many opportunities right now with chemical companies.

NB (Possible Cup & Handle Play)I like NB at its price for its market. However I do feel cautious of how hard its spiked recently... so I zoomed out And why dont you look at that, we broke a swing low pattern and then formed a nice cup. With a handle and a breakout of the handle, we can look to aim for a new local high. This is now on my watch list and hoping to come down a bit. I'll draw out channels when I see that start to happen. Once the channel breaks is when we start raising our stop losses. But until we draw out the handle, I am not bought in for a play as of yet. Just want to put this out there on peoples radar
