NASDAQ After Trump's Inauguration 25.01.21Hello, this is Greedy All-Day. Today’s analysis focuses on the NASDAQ. Monday’s Briefing Results Chart: Buy Position: A breakout above the high occurred 45 minutes before the U.S. session opened, reaching the buy-entry zone at 21682.5. While the target of 21812 was not achieved, the price increased by 95 points, generating approximately $1,900 in profit per contract. Sell Position: During the Asian session, after breaking the ascending trendline, a sell-entry opportunity emerged at the yellow box. Following the entry, the price dropped by 183 points, yielding approximately $3,660 in profit per contract. Total Results: Based on Monday’s briefing, a total profit of approximately $5,560 per contract was achieved. Daily Chart Analysis Chart: Due to Monday’s market closure, the daily candle for Monday has yet to close, and it will likely complete after Tuesday’s U.S. session. Key Observations: The sharp drop during the Asian session found support at the 20 EMA on the daily chart. The 20 EMA is currently at 21387, and whether this support holds will be crucial in determining the market’s direction. Bearish Scenario: If the 20 EMA fails to hold, traders should prepare for a potential trend reversal. Bullish Scenario: Resistance was observed at the green box, particularly near the January 7 bearish candle’s high. If Tuesday’s session closes above the 21806–21896.75 zone, it could signal a breakout above the supply zone and a trend reversal. A critical point for buyers is whether the current price action can engulf the large bearish candle with a bullish one. 15-Minute Chart Analysis Chart: Key Insights: During the Asian session’s sharp decline, the NASDAQ bounced off the upper boundary of the blue box supply zone. However, it broke the yellow box ascending trendline, leaving uncertainty about whether the current rebound is a dead cat bounce or a genuine reversal. The market may react strongly to the president’s inauguration speech and subsequent remarks, which could provide clear direction. Recommendation: At this point, trading either direction is a 50-50 probability. It’s advisable to wait for a clear breakout or breakdown before entering a trade. Today’s Trading Strategy Chart: Buy Strategy: Entry: Breakout above the yellow box high at 21779. Rationale: The sharp drop during the Asian session has broken the upward channel. A breakout above the high would confirm that bullish momentum has returned. Risk: The next resistance is close at 21812, and whether this level is broken will be crucial for further upside potential. Sell Strategy: Entry: Break below the ascending trendline, or Break below both the trendline and the Asian session low at 21377. Rationale: The rebound during the Asian session occurred near the 20 EMA on the perpetual contract, making a clear break below this level necessary to confirm a trend reversal. However, if the white box frame’s lower boundary isn’t completely breached, it’s difficult to confirm a full trend reversal. Risk: Support at the daily 20 EMA. Conclusion The NASDAQ remains in a delicate balance, with potential for movement in either direction: For buyers, the key focus is on breaking above 21779 and 21812 for a potential continuation of the uptrend. For sellers, watch for a break below the ascending trendline or 21377 to confirm a trend reversal. Stay patient, follow the levels closely, and trade strategically. 🚀

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNASDAQ The NASDAQ closed early due to the U.S. market holiday, and yesterday’s and today’s daily candles will merge into one. As anticipated, the U.S. market showed an upward trend, but it is likely to exhibit sideways or downward movement during the pre-market and regular trading sessions today. While the daily chart has generated a buy signal, confirmation will only occur if today’s candle closes as a bullish one. With significant resistance levels overhead, the market needs a strong bullish candle to widen the gap between the MACD and signal line. Failure to generate such a rally may lead to repeated resistance at the upper levels and increase the likelihood of a downturn. On the 240-minute chart, no sell signal has been generated yet, but the market appears to be absorbing overhead supply. If a MACD dead cross emerges, the buy signal on the daily chart may fade, potentially reversing the trend to bearish. Avoid chasing prices and refer to yesterday’s detailed pre-market analysis for further context. CRUDE OIL Crude oil closed lower, correcting down to the 10-day moving average. After a brief consolidation at the $76 support, it declined further. The $74–$75 range serves as a critical support level and aligns with the 5-day moving average on the weekly chart. Buying on dips within this range is favorable. However, it is advisable to enter at lower levels, as rebound risks make shorting less viable. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD is falling towards the zero line, steepening its angle against the signal line. Even if oil rebounds from key support levels, it may face further selling pressure, as a MACD golden cross appears unlikely. Since yesterday’s expected downtrend materialized, today’s strategy should focus on cautious dip-buying at lower levels. GOLD Gold closed lower, finding support near the 5-day moving average as anticipated in yesterday’s analysis. The strong pullback to the 5-day moving average provides a reasonable entry point for buying on dips. However, the weekly chart indicates potential for further downside, suggesting short-term positions to manage risk effectively. On the 240-minute chart, a sell signal has emerged as a head-and-shoulders pattern broke its neckline. A further drop below 2730 could lead to additional downside toward the 2718 support level, where dip-buying may be considered. The MACD and signal line remain significantly below the zero line on the 240-minute chart, increasing the likelihood of a rebound at key support levels. Avoid aggressive short-selling and note that the broader trend remains bullish, as gold's daily chart exhibits strong buying momentum. Focus on buying near major support levels during pullbacks for a favorable risk-to-reward ratio. Manage your risk carefully and best of luck with your trades today. ■Trading Strategies for Today NASDAQ - Range-bound Market -Buy: 21660 / 21620 / 21570 / 21510 / 21480 / 21350 -Sell: 21780 / 21880 / 21940 / 22005 Crude Oil - Bullish Market -Buy: 75.70 / 74.95 / 74.50 -Sell: 77.50 / 77.85 / 78.25 / 78.65 / 79.10 Gold - Bullish Market -Buy: 2726 / 2716 / 2708 / 2700 -Sell: 2738 / 2747 / 2753 / 2758 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

MNQH Continued Bullish Run On Friday price made a nice Bullish run that took out the PDH from the previous two days and price closed above the D LV and D SIBI. Currently we have price wicking off the D LV and has traded higher cutting through the MT level of the -OB. If price can stay above that MT level then I can see price going higher and taking out the PDH from Fri Jan 17 2025 at 21680.00 and then eventually target the PDHs from January 6th and 7th. So lets continue to watch and see if price has truly switched to being Bullish after taking SSL, and finding support off the D BISI CE level.

Get ready for Monday's Nasdaq 25.01.20Hello, this is Greedy All-Day. Today’s analysis focuses on the NASDAQ. NASDAQ Daily Chart Analysis Chart: On the daily chart, the NASDAQ shows a breakout above the short-term corrective trendline, signaling a potential trend reversal. Key Developments: The price has broken above the 20 EMA on the daily chart. It also rebounded before breaking below the Ichimoku Cloud, hinting at a potential return to new all-time highs. Support and Resistance: Support: The 20 EMA, currently around 21390, serves as short-term support. Resistance: The chart suggests that significant upside remains open, with fewer immediate barriers overhead. Current Pattern and Resistance Chart: The NASDAQ is currently near its only remaining resistance trendline, created between December 17–18, 2024 (orange box). Key Points: Beyond this trendline, there are no further descending resistance trendlines. Resistance will then come from horizontal supply zones or historical highs. Breakout Potential: If the price breaks the green box resistance zone, the next key resistance is one of the two white box zones. A breakout beyond the white box zones could pave the way for new all-time highs. Today’s Buy Strategy Chart: Entry Trigger: Breakout above both the remaining resistance trendline and the recent high at 21682.5. Target Levels: Horizontal resistance levels (marked on the chart). Rationale: A breakout above the long-term descending resistance trendline, combined with a breakout above the previous high, would likely lead to entry into the blue box supply zone on the left. This would increase the likelihood of a continuation toward higher levels, fueled by the supply zone dynamics. Today’s Sell Strategy Chart: Entry Trigger: Breakdown below the orange ascending trendline and a break below 21481. Target Levels: Horizontal support levels (marked on the chart). Rationale: A break below the ascending trendline would indicate weakening momentum. If a pennant-like pattern forms and the price breaks below the starting zone of the pattern, it would signal a high likelihood of a trend reversal. The green box highlights the potential breakdown area. Additional Note: If the price consolidates and the ascending trendline is broken above 21481, adjust the target to 21481 as the maximum downside level. Conclusion The NASDAQ is at a critical juncture, with potential for both significant upside and downside moves: For Buyers: Watch for a breakout above 21682.5 for potential continuation into the supply zone and beyond. For Sellers: Monitor for a break below the ascending trendline and 21481 for potential downside momentum. Stay cautious, and trade strategically based on key levels. 🚀

Weekly and Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNASDAQ NASDAQ closed higher, breaking above the upper trendline resistance on the daily chart. On the weekly chart, the sell signal is still active, and the MACD has yet to cross above the signal line. Therefore, even if the market rises early this week, it could potentially retreat again. This underscores the need to avoid chasing highs. On the daily chart, a buy signal was generated with today’s candle, but it is not confirmed by yesterday’s action. If today’s session ends with a bearish candle, the buy signal could disappear. For a sustained upward move, today must close with a bullish candle and create a clear buy signal. Furthermore, for this signal to be meaningful, the signal line must move above the zero line, with a wider divergence between the MACD and the signal line driven by additional gains. On the 240-minute chart, a long bullish candle has created a potential third wave up. Breaking through the upper trendline is significant, but whether this uptrend will continue remains uncertain. Additionally, with U.S. markets closed today for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, today's and tomorrow’s daily candles will be combined. Expect sideways movement with a bullish tilt today, with the main market session tomorrow likely determining the direction. Focus on buying on dips while avoiding chasing highs. CRUDE OIL Crude oil closed lower, forming an upper wick on the daily chart. On the weekly chart, the price is significantly distanced from the 3-day and 5-day moving averages, suggesting that this week could see consolidation or a pullback from the $79 resistance level. On the daily chart, crude has fallen below the 5-day moving average, now trading within a range between the 5-day and 10-day moving averages. The $74–$75 range represents an attractive buy zone during a pullback. This area aligns with the weekly 5-day moving average, making it a critical level to watch. Around $76, where the 10-day moving average lies, significant support exists on intraday charts. Observing whether this level holds on the first test is crucial. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD remains significantly above the zero line, favoring continued buying on dips. The first key support is around $76, and the second is in the $74–$75 range, where the MACD could attempt another bullish crossover. Be mindful of reduced trading volumes due to the U.S. market holiday and focus on range-bound strategies. GOLD Gold faced resistance near the 2760 level, closing with a doji candle. On the weekly chart, the MACD is diverging from the signal line, suggesting that further upside may face resistance around the 2785 level. If the MACD on the weekly chart fails to form a golden cross, a pullback may occur. On the daily chart, the strong buy trend remains intact, favoring a buy-focused strategy. However, on the 240-minute chart, a potential dead cross could signal short-term corrections. With U.S. markets closed today and tomorrow, gold could dip to the 5-day moving average, creating buying opportunities during pullbacks. For today, short-term selling at highs with a focus on key support levels for buying on dips is recommended. Sideways movement during pre-market hours may continue, with tomorrow’s main session likely setting the next direction. Stick to box-range trading and take advantage of key opportunities if prices reach critical levels. With U.S. markets closed on Monday, reduced trading volumes make box-range trading strategies more effective. Use this time to prepare for potential opportunities at key levels. Stay diligent with risk management, and have a successful trading week ahead. ■Trading Strategies for Today NASDAQ - Range-bound Market -Buy: 21510 / 21480 / 21350 / 21310 / 21270 -Sell: 21650 / 21740 / 21780 / 21880 Crude Oil - Bullish Market -Buy: 76.90 / 76.30 / 75.70 / 74.95 -Sell: 77.80 / 78.25 / 78.60 / 79.00 Gold - Bullish Market -Buy: 2730 / 2723 / 2719 / 2715 -Sell: 2747 / 2753 / 2758 / 2762 / 2777 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

HTF Market Maker Buy ModelThe market is currently in the Buy Curve of a Market Maker Model and these are the next steps I am expecting for the week to come: 1. Manipulation below Weekly Open which would fill the 4H Discount FVG and hit the Daily OB; 2. Expansion higher targeting the newly created Liquidity Pool in premium and the Previous Daily / Weekly High; Trade ideas: - Buy on Tuesday / Wednesday once the manipulation occurs using higher timeframes with the entry being the 4H FVG; - Use internal short-term buy models with the same logic coupled with macro times (mostly 1st AM Session macro for large range moves); - Use internal short-term models targeting Lunch Hour stops in the 1st PM Session macro for small expansions or reversals depending whether or not a key level is hit and short-term liquidity is breached;

20250117 NQI anticipate downside move at least to the ORG Friday CE level. If there is not stop then it is very nice environment for the TGIF downside move but there is very nice bs level to make the raid even today which is 4h bs level. I would like to see the 10-11 am AMS SB price action. If there is some high resistance liquidity run to the downside then it is more for the later upside but I anticipate downside within TGIF. The only question if price action still needs to make the bs raid above 4h bs level first.

Possible shorting opportunity on MNQ for FridayMy directional bias for Friday 17 January 2025 is Bearish with the Focus on price trading lower to fill in the BISI after finding some sort of support in premium levels. My Focus is the PDL at 21171.75 and then possibly the low of the BISI at 21143.75 for the discount draw on liquidity. I also like the fact that yesterday price wicked higher to clear the PDHs and then filled in the premium SIBI and found rejection off the D -OB lower quadrant. So lets see how price delivers today....
