Nasdaq - (Bullish) Clarity in two days!TVC:NDQ is now retesting a very important inflection level and maybe attempting a breakout.
Parabolic rise or -20% correction over the next couple of months. So far there is a lot of uncertainty as to whether the Nasdaq will manage to break above the current resistance trendline. We simply have to wait for this monthly candle closure as well as the monthly candle closure of July until we can make a clear prediction. So far, everything is still possible!
Levels to watch: $20.000, $16.000
Keep your long term vision,

Nasdaq - Soon heading to $30.000?Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at the Nasdaq .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
For more than a decade, the Nasdaq index has been trading in a rising channel formation with the last retest of the support trendline being back in the end of 2022. At the moment, Nasdaq is retesting the upper resistance trendline and if we actually see a breakout over the next 2 months, we might see a similar rally of +50% compared to the one which we saw back in 2020.

Keep your long term vision,

UK100: Thoughts and Analysis Today's focus: UK100
Pattern – LH decline
Support – 7375 - 7250
Resistance – 7466 - 7710
Hi, and thanks for checking out today's update. Today, we are looking at the UK100 on the daily chart.
Today's video asks if the UK100 will continue to move lower after setting up a few beach technical signs. What do you think about the reasons presented in today's video update? Are the lower highs after the trend break and failed rally yesterday a new momentum shift to sellers in the short term?
We continue to look at major index influences and watch today's UK GDP. If buyers are able to reverse today's selling and break the 7466 resistance, this will cancel out this sell idea.
Good trading.
ASX200: Thoughts and AnalysisToday's focus: ASX200
Pattern – Support/ Regular Divergence
Support – 6885
Resistance – 7000 - 7070
Thanks for checking out today’s update. Today, we have run over ASX200, breaking down the overall price picture, levels, and patterns and incorporating moving average and RSI into the analysis.
Interest today starts from the support hold we are watching from 6885. This lines up with the bottom of the overall range. We can also see regular divergence forming with price holding at this support point. This could set off a new rally that could get back up to test 7000.
If this level of support breaks and price closes below, this could break the range and set off a new overall downtrend. Are stocks a bit oversold at this point? Keep in mind we have US employment data due out this Friday.
Have a great day and good trading.
Using Candle Wicks to refine your daytrading entriesIn the video I discuss the importance of 'Candle Wicks' in price action and how I use them to refine an entry.
I like to use the 1 minute chart for my entries and have certain criteria to trade with the trend (which I discuss in the video). When trying to trade with the predominant trend up/down, I look to trade retracements. One thing I look for is wicks into the EMAs and then a reversal of the previous candle.
I find these greatly help my timing for entries and can greatly reduce my risk.
I hope that you enjoy the video and are able to use in your own trading.

US2000: Thoughts and AnalysisToday's focus: US2000
Pattern – Descending Triangle Pattern
Support – 1840
Resistance – 1870
Thanks for checking out today’s update. Today, we have run over US2000, breaking down the overall price picture, levels, and patterns and incorporating moving average and RSI into the analysis.
The Russel isn’t a market I normally watch or trade, but the descending triangle pattern did catch my eye today. Overall price sits in a range, but it has broken a trend on the inside and set up a LH. These patterns are normally seen as bearish after a trend break, but support looks rather firm at this stage.
With the FOMC coming up later this week, watch out for a false breakout lower that closes higher. This could set up a higher breakout. If sellers continue to push at support, look for a solid close-through support with a new failed rally that sets a new weekly low.
It’s going to be interesting to see which side gets the win here.
Have a great day and good trading.
Price Action and Trade Review for the DOW Jones IndexPrice action is key for understanding the major market bias and also for managing risk.
On top of that, understanding Price Action will give a better understanding of where other traders may be trapped and will help structure your trades.
In the video, I talk through the DOW Index and price action from the previous session. I look at where we were looking for trades and the price action that led to trapped traders getting squeezed out of the action.

NDQ100: Thoughts and analysisToday's focus: NDX100 Nasdaq
Pattern – Higher lower support point (LH Inc)
Support – 15,320 - 14,690
Resistance – 15,520 – 15,822
Thanks for checking out today's update. Today, we have run over the NDX100 on the daily chart. We have started with the overall picture and worked our way into the current short-term perspective with things we are watching and levels we view as important.
Over the subsequent few sessions, we feel that 15,520 support is key for buyers, and we would like to see them not only hold that area but form a rally that can retest 15,320 resistance. A break could get the short-term trend back up and running, but a good close below that support level could suggest the up trend could be in danger, and we may even see a new move back down to test 14,690 if sellers can really get going.
Have a great day and good trading.
How to identify a trend move using AnchorsIn the video I discuss the concept of Anchors in trading and how I use them in my own trading.
Anchors play a major part in identifying the prime areas to trade and also in risk management when in a trade. I will discuss my prime setups and trading areas using anchors and multi-timeframe analysis.

Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 3/08US and European markets came under fire and took a hit in a risk off move after US credit was downgraded. Traders and investors are looking at the bigger picture now as a lack of confidence into the US government as they distract themselves from the bigger picture of actually managing the economy. With a safe haven move up into the USD and and unwind into an extended share market, we could see this move down gather some momentum especially if US employment does not come out positive on Friday.
Expecting a weak open in Asia with the ASX200 to open down 60 pts, the Nikkei to open down over 300 pts and Hang Seng to open down 130 pts.
Traders will be keeping an eye on coming employment data in the US Friday and whether the negative sentiment over the US credit downgrade gathers momentum.

Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 28/07US markets moved lower on prospects of higher interest rates. Bond yields in the US spiked as to did the USD which pressured dollar denominated assets like Gold, Silver and Copper. The major US indexes moved lower on news that Japan is going to let longer term bond yields move higher which in turn pressured US bonds lower and detracted from the attractiveness of stocks. I expect that there was a lot of profit taken which may continue into the coming US session. I expect Europe will open weaker, especially the DAX, as it plays catchup with the US led selloff.
Expecting a weak open in Asia with the ASX200 to open up 40 pts, the Nikkei to open down 380 pts and Hang Seng to open down 320 pts.
Traders will be keeping an eye on coming economic data and the BOJ press conference today for some direction on Bond yields and in turn share markets.

Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 24/07US markets had a quiet session Friday to follow on from an uneventful European session. Traders are focused on the US earning session so I expect to see support in the near term. I feel that the markets are generally extended and traders will be in a holding pattern ahead of results from big tech next week. Defensive stocks were favoured on Friday which, for me, points to a potential risk off move as traders lock in some recent gains.
Expecting a stronger open in Asia with the ASX200 to open up 30 pts, the Nikkei to open up 330 pts and Hang Seng to open up 100 pts.
Traders will be keeping an eye on inflationary data (Aus CPI out tomorrow) for signs that inflation is still easing. Whether that translates into lessening pressure on the wallet and the cost of living, will take some time to play out.

ASX200 Review...Where to from here?A look at the price action for the Australian ASX200 Index.
The recent price action has been very choppy and directionless leaving both bulls and bears scratching their heads. I expect that this uncertain theme will continue in the short term with the mid to longer term action largely range bound.
In the short term, I expect to see a swing lower and if recent price action is any indication, we will see the recent low taken out. This suggests a 4% move lower from current levels around 7260.
If we see the Global macro environment deteriorate, I expect to see share prices across the board come under pressure.
Bulls come out to play...Review of Daily charts for key IndexesWith US CPI pointing to inflation easing, bulls are pushing major Indexes higher with the love affair with Tech and the Nasdaq being the standout.
In the video I look at the major Indexes across the US, Europe and Asia on the daily timeframes and discuss the key levels and price action I see playing out.

Daytrade Review on the Hang Seng IndexI small trade today on the Hang Seng Index that turned out to be quick and simple with little to no pressure from the entry. Could have been a better exit but all up it was a good start to the day.
I will explain the price action for the Entry and the reasoning for the trade coming into the start of the session.

Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 13/07US markets gapped up on buyers enthusiasm after a weaker than expected CPI release that signals inflation is easing more than expected. US Bond yields fell while the USD was sent lower also which I expect is the big story from overnight. I feel that the USD will find more weakness in the near term but will not be without a bounce here and there. Gold and Silver found some strength while Copper also had a good night.
Expecting a stronger open in Asia with the ASX200 to open up 50 pts, the Nikkei to open up 130 pts and Hang Seng to open up 300/330 pts also.
The CPI release was key as it points to a potential end to interest rate rises and the end of the cycle. Now markets may start to focus on US earnings and then potentially a global contraction and rate cuts....but I would expect the coming months to be buoyant if CPI continues to show easing.

Nasdaq: Price levels and price pattern analysis Today's focus: Nasdaq /NDX100
Pattern – Ascending Triangle
Possible targets – 15,600, 16,500
Support – 15,000
Resistance – 15,220, 15,250
Today we are looking at the Nasdaq/NDX100 as price sits in a continuation pattern just below key resistance. This is an interesting set-up as we have key US inflation data coming out today, and interest rates remain a hottish topic. We have broken down the price action and pattern in today’s video and how this connects to the CPI data.
There’s no guarantee that a drop will drive buyers onward, but it could also be a driver that continues buyer momentum and could set up a new test and break of the pattern. We will be watching the core figure as it’s been the most stubborn of the three. Y/Y is expected to drop to 3.1% and the Core to 0.3%.
The CPI data is due at 8:30 am ET / 10:30 pm AEST.
Have a great day and good trading.
Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 11/07US markets had a good start to the new week ending with some gains ahead of the all important CPI later in the week. All eyes will be on the data release for a gauge on inflation and what that will mean to further rate rises in the US. US bond yields moved lower while the USD also pushed down into support which is likely traders squaring up positions ahead of CPI. If the release comes out stronger than expected and inflation continues to show signs of being 'sticky' then expect more pressure into the stock market.
Expecting a stronger open in Asia with the ASX200 to open up 40 pts, the Nikkei to open up 140 pts and Hang Seng to open up 140 pts also.
Traders are focused on the end of the interest rate rising cycle in the US which also means a slowing economy bringing about mixed reactions from traders. The Ponzi scheme that is the US debt ceiling may start to be of more concern if the economy slows and GDP contracts.

Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 5/07US markets were closed for the 4th July holiday which saw muted trading across the European session. The RBA held off on another rate rise much to the relief of Australians who are feeling the squeeze. The RBA notes that a lot of the inflation can be attributed to corporate profit margins increasing so may be a reason why they are holding off on rates (as raising will no doubt see margins increase and inflation go up). With the FOMC minutes out tonight, it will be interesting to see if there is an indication of a similar scenario in the US which will will point to a pause in rate hikes also.
Expecting a mixed open to the Asian session with the ASX200 to open flat, the Nikkei to open slightly lower along with the Hang Seng.
Traders are focused on the end of the interest rate rising cycle in the US which also means a slowing economy bringing about mixed reactions from traders. The Ponzi scheme that is the US debt ceiling may start to be of more concern if GDP contracts and the global economy slows.

Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 29/05European and US Indexes bounced into the weekend setting up for a strong open for the Asian session. Some debt ceiling optimism and stronger than expected economic data helped bulls squeeze out recent sellers for the drive higher. The data showed strength in inflation and the US consumer which points to a resilient economy...but it also points to sticky inflation and more interest rates rises to come.
Expecting a very strong open to the Asian session with the ASX200 set to open up 70 points, the Nikkei is very extended and is set to open up 650 points while the Hang Seng has some catch up to do and open up stronger off support.
I expect that there remains major concerns over the US economic slowdown brewing, and how the US is going to fund its debt with GDP easing. Longer term trends are for interest rates to level out but potentially later rather than sooner which will put more pressure on the economy.
