Nasdaq Intraday Review – Monday 8 Jan 2024I trade Nasdaq intraday exclusively
Trading in GMT time zone
Sharing my post day review & analysis in case it can help you :)
Today was a different day for me. I planned the trade I took today over the weekend.
Friday 5th Jan trading day ended with a green doji candle close on the D TF.
This D candle touched the 0.618 Fib level on the D TF and closed above the 4H 200 EMA.
To me this signalled the start of a bullish move, at the very least to re-test the neckline of the Double Top on the D TF (marked in pink).
I decided I wanted to enter a swing trade and so I stayed up late on Sunday evening and opened a nice big buy position in the seconds as market opened on Sunday 11pm GMT.
My swing trade buy confirmations:
- Market Pattern – double top had formed on the D TF and price had traveled the full distance of the profit target (i.e. the same distance down as the height of the market pattern). I like to enter a trade that will re-test the neckline in the same direction as the overall trend (bullish in this case if we assume that the bear move was just a retracement and not a full trend reversal. I will consider a full trend reversal to be in place if market tests the neckline of the double top and then moves down again).
- Fib – a strong fib level was reached on a high TF (0.618 on a D TF)
- Candle stick – green doji on a D TF
- S&R – 4H 200 EMA providing dynamic support to 2 x D candles
I funded my trading account with the amount of money I was prepared to lose and I would not place a stop loss. I correctly choose my position size to handle a drawdown of 1500 – 2000 pips and if my account bust then that would be the end of my swing trade.
All went according to plan, and I am currently on 3166 pips profit for the day.
I did close a small portion of my position to recover my small losses over the previous days and also take some profit for my efforts today. But the majority of the trade is running.
I secured my trade at entry and am now trading risk free.
The plan is to wait to see if bulls break through the neckline (so far so good, but I am expecting a bearish push down tomorrow to test bulls strength). Luckily pivot point + 1H, 4H and D 20 EMA’s will be under the candles hopefully giving a push up.
What could I have done differently:
I am happy with my performance today.
Hope you caught this nice buy!

Nasdaq Intraday Review – Friday 5 Jan 2024I trade Nasdaq intraday exclusively
Trading in GMT time zone
Sharing my post day review & analysis in case it can help you :)
Did my analysis at +- 5:20am GMT
Usually, I am looking exclusively for a buy because Nasdaq was bullish overall and trading with the trend is always a good idea.
I believe this bearish pushdown is a big buy retracement on the D TF and not a trend reversal.
During my analysis, I noted the following:
Today was NFP. I usually don’t like trading during the day of a big news event. Often times markets are muted during the day with the true volatility coming with the news event.
I entered a buy one minute before NFP came out – Confirmations:
Market Pattern – Price had already travelled down the full distance equal to the height of the D double top. In theory, it is at this point that often market will reverse to test the neckline of the pattern.
Fib: Price was just above the 0.618 fib level of the D TF (a very high and strong TF)
S&R: 4H 200 EMA
My NFP buy was at A.
As NFP hit I was expecting a big reaction. However, market seemed quite unreactive.
For 10min price was sliding down.
I was very surprised and thought to myself that if NFP can’t turn this bearish retracement around, then price will fall a long way still.
I have been taking small losses in the past few days, attempting to catch the correct reversal point. But these have been quite small losses and overall, I am not too sad about them because my risk management was pretty good.
But in this moment, during the 10min after NFP, fear took over and I was not able to think straight.
I didn’t want to take further unnecessary losses and I was fearful that market would slip down because even NFP couldn’t introduce bulls into the game.
So, I closed at B. (right on the 0.618 D fib level).
As I was writing this trade in my trade journal and I was documenting the reasons for entering the trade, I thought to myself that these are such strong confirmations and that I didn’t give my trade enough breathing room. I realized then I had been too quick to react (out of fear) and should have waited to see how the candles would react to the 0.618 fib level.
So basically, keeping my trade journal highlighted to me that I had acted in fear and not rationally. I took a minute to think clearly what I wanted to do and knew I was prepared to put some money on the table for those strong confirmations, so I entered a buy at C.
Overall, bulls pushed up from B. by 2400 pips – this could be the start of the bullish trend again, especially as we saw the day close with a green doji candle on the D TF.
When I saw the weakness on the 15min TF after price had touched the 4H EMA, I closed half my position at D. I secured my remaining half position at entry and was hoping for market to continue pushing up to at least test the neckline of the double top on the D TF. But alas, we did not get there on Friday and candles spiked down to take me out at entry.
But felt really good to make some pips (950 pips) for the day!
Dealing effectively with emotions is one of the hardest parts of trading. Today, fear came into the game for me, but happy that my good habit of trade journaling helped me recognize this and that I still came out with some pips!
What could I have done differently:
Controlled my emotions better.
Hope you had a good trading day!
Catch ya on Monday!

Nasdaq Intraday Review – Thursday 4 Jan 2024I trade Nasdaq intraday exclusively
Trading in GMT time zone
Sharing my post day review & analysis in case it can help you :)
Did my analysis at +- 5:20am GMT
Usually, I am looking exclusively for a buy because Nasdaq was bullish overall and trading with the trend is always a good idea.
Bears have totally dominated, with a push down of +- 7000 pips. I believe this is a big buy retracement on the D TF and am waiting for the reversal.
During my analysis, I noted the following:
A double bottom formed on the 1H TF (marked in purple lines).
Market pushed up to break the neckline of the double bottom & temporary down trend line (marked in light blue).
I entered a buy at A. – Confirmations:
- Market Pattern: This was the 1st time that a double bottom formed on the 1H TF since the bearish retracement, indicating the growing strength of the buyers. Entered at break of the neckline
- Fib: There was no buy fib level but there was some distance to travel to the 0.382 sell retracement (drawn at time I entered the buy and not as indicated on the chart now because swing low changed) so I felt there was enough distance for market to travel and secure my position at entry.
- Candle sticks: Strong 1H momentum candle + first time we saw 2 green candles in a row close on the 4H TF, again indicating the growing strength of bulls.
- S&R: Strong weekly and monthly support and resistance zone
It was a risky entry because the pivot + 1H EMA were just above pushing down, so I entered 50% of my usual position size.
Mental stop was place at thick pink line.
1H EMA proved too strong, and bulls were unable to break through. Took a 370 pip loss on this entry.
Not sad about it because I feel it was a valid entry and worth putting some money on the table for.
Bears push down further. Towards market open price was approaching the 4H 200 EMA (a very strong dynamic support zone) + the profit target of the D TF double top (marked by C. in bottom left corner – i.e., market will generally move the same distance as the height of the market pattern).
When a double bottom formed on the 15min TF in this zone, I was very interested to enter a buy.
However, just yesterday I said in my post “It’s ridiculous of me to think that its enough confirmation to enter a buy on a 15min TF (a very small TF). A 6000 pip bearish move will not come to a screaming halt on a 15min double bottom.”
The difference now was that this pattern was forming in an area of confluence as opposed to just a random 15min double bottom anywhere in the charts.
I chose to wait for the re-test of the neckline and entered a buy at B. as market was moving up again – Confirmations:
- Market pattern: retest of broken neckline of a double bottom of the 15min chart
- Fib: in the 0.50 fib zone on a D TF
- Candlestick: inverted green hammer candlestick on the 1H (a potential bullish reversal signal)
- S&R: in the zone of the 4H 200 EMA (a very strong EMA)
- Trendline: none
Mental stop was placed at thick pink line.
I also placed a buy limit at the thick pink line as I really believed a bullish bounced would occur from this zone.
Finally hit a nice buy with market moving up 1000 pips from my entry.
Wanting to see a strong move up, I secured my position at entry and am trading risk free.
What could I have done differently:
I should have taken profit (closed a portion of my position at D.)
D. represents the 5th time market tried to break this zone and on seeing weakness on the 15min TF, I should have secured some profit.
Good luck if you are still trading!

LOVELY TRADING WEEK TO YOU!
Traders Adjust Their Expectations for Fed ActionFrom the beginning of November to the end of December 2023, the dollar index futures price fell by approximately 5.5%, according to the CME exchange. The weakening of the USD was caused by the sentiment of traders who expected the Fed to cut interest rates in March. As a result of the sentiment that prevailed at the end of 2023, stock indices, gold (setting a historical maximum on December 4) and cryptocurrencies rose.
However, the start of 2024 indicated a sharp change in sentiment, with the dollar index futures price rising more than 1% during the January 3-4 sessions.
This can be interpreted as:
→ during the pre-holiday period, there was a certain emotional component that helped to look into the future with optimism;
→ after the end of the holidays, market participants adjusted their expectations regarding the easing of the Fed's actions.
Data released yesterday showed that there is no clear indication that the Fed may start cutting rates, as its members still see the need for policy to remain restrictive for some time.
That is, in the first days of 2024, there was a correction of bullish sentiment at the end of 2023. In the cryptocurrency market, which is characterised by a high degree of margin (opening positions with borrowed funds), the correction turned into an avalanche of sales — the BTC/USD rate dropped rapidly to the level of $41,000, forming a false bullish breakout of the consolidation zone at the end of 2023, which we wrote about yesterday .
We also note the decline in the NASDAQ technology stock index, which, according to Bloomberg, showed the worst start to the year since 2001 (the time of the dot-com crash).
The NASDAQ-100 chart shows that:
→ the stock index price is still within the uptrend (shown in blue);
→ the price was within the intermediate correction (shown in red), forming a flag pattern;
→ the psychological level of 17,000 served as resistance.
The price may be supported by:
→ the psychological level of 16,000, which was broken by the bulls after some consolidation in the second half of December;
→ the median line of the ascending channel;
→ a level of 50% of the A-B growth impulse, located around the level of 15,500.
Price action near these levels (if reached) will provide more valuable information about how much sentiment has changed since the bullish end to 2023.

NDX Nasdaq100 Fell 8.60% After the Last U.S. Credit Downgradeitch Ratings downgraded the US debt rating on Tuesday, moving it from the highest AAA rating to AA+, citing concerns about "a steady deterioration in standards of governance."
This downgrade happened following last-minute negotiations among lawmakers to reach a debt ceiling deal earlier this year, raising the risk of the nation's first default.
In the past, a similar credit downgrade had a significant impact on the NDX, which fell 8.60% in just two weeks. Back in August 5, 2011, Standard & Poor's, one of the major credit rating firms, downgraded U.S. debt after another major debt ceiling battle.
Jim Reid, a strategist at Deutsche Bank, pointed out that while the news of Standard & Poor's being the first to downgrade 12 years ago was substantial, investors had already adjusted their perceptions of the world's most important bond market, recognizing that it was no longer a pure AAA. Nonetheless, Fitch's recent decision to downgrade is still significant.
In the current scenario, the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield has risen to 4.15%, reaching its highest level since November 2022.
As for the price target for this year, it remains at $16650, as shown in the chart below:
Looking forward to read your opinion about it!
QQQ Nasdaq 100 ETF Price Prediction for 2024This was my price prediction for QQQ in 2023. I was bullish, but not enough:
Considerations about 2024:
In the July 2023 meeting, the FOMC chose to raise interest rates to a range of 5.25%–5.50%, marking the 11th rate hike in the current cycle aimed at mitigating heightened inflation. The prevailing consensus among market experts hints at a potential shift in strategy, suggesting that the Fed might commence rate cuts later in 2024 as inflation gradually aligns with the Fed's 2% target. Statistically, historical data indicates that approximately 11 months after the cessation of interest rate increases, a recession tends to manifest. This pattern places us around June 2024, aligning with my prediction of a dip in the QQQ to approximately $370.
Given that 2024 is an election year, there's an additional layer of complexity in predicting market behavior. Despite the anticipated mid-year dip, my inclination is that the QQQ will conclude the year on a bullish note. This optimistic outlook hints at the onset of a 3-5 year AI bubble cycle, with the QQQ boasting a year-end price target of $460.
The integration of artificial intelligence into various sectors is expected to catalyze market growth and innovation, propelling the QQQ to new heights by the close of 2024.

Nasdaq Intraday Review – Wednesday 3 Jan 2024I trade Nasdaq intraday exclusively
Trading in GMT time zone
Sharing my post day review & analysis in case it can help you :)
Did my analysis at +- 5:20am GMT
Usually, I am looking exclusively for a buy because Nasdaq was bullish overall and trading with the trend is always a good idea.
But bears have totally dominated, with a push down of nearly 6000 pips.
This could be a total trend reversal i.e. we move into a bear market. Or it could be a big retracement on the D TF (from swing low at A. to swing high at B.)
Retracement levels marked with orange text.
I believe it will ultimately be a retracement.
A huge double top formed previously on the D TF (marked in pink). Market usually moves the same distance as the height of the pattern after the neckline is broken (marked by the pink vertical line). Yesterday we saw the D candle close below the neckline effectively breaking the neckline.
So far today, the D EMA and D 0.382 retracement level has not been enough to stop the bears, and judging by the pink vertical line, market could still fall some way.
I entered a small buy (10% of my usual position size) on a double bottom that formed on the 15min TM but closed soon after.
What could I have done differently:
It’s ridiculous of me to think that it's enough confirmation to enter a buy on a 15min TF (a very small TF).
A 6000 pip bearish move will not come to a screaming halt on a 15min double bottom. There will be a double bottom or other market pattern formed on a much larger TF.
Other than that, I just observed the market today. We are in a retracement zone….so not changing my bias to bearish until I can rule out a bull retracement.
Learnt a lot from these past few days. My biggest lesson was the power and strength of double tops forming on multiple timeframes at the same time - as we saw today again (double top on 1H and 4H).
If I had to enter a sell today, it would have been at C. (for an aggressive entry (0.618 sell fib level + respecting the 30 min EMA)) or at D. (break of the neckline of the double top).
Good luck if you are still trading!

NASDAQ Elliott Wave Analysis for Thursday 04/01/2024We are probably working on a wave (3) in the higher time frame. Wave 1 of wave (3) could be ongoing or we might see a relatively short wave (3). This is unclear for now. In the lower time frame, we can still expect a wave ((v)) up. The primary scenario suggests that we are now working on a wave ((iv)) as an expanded flat.
TARGET REACHED for Nasdaq at 16,956 now what?Nasdaq finally reached our first target of 16,956.
The price then started off on a bad note in 2024.
The USD is starting to strengthen again, which brings down the general markets.
So right now, there is no definitive price analysis for the Nasdaq.
We can only expect a form of consolidation to create the next pattern before it chooses a direction.
SO right now we are Neutral with a slight short term bearish tinge to it.
Nasdaq Intraday Review – Tuesday 2 Jan 2024I trade Nasdaq intraday exclusively
Trading in GMT time zone
Sharing my post day review & analysis in case it can help you :)
Did my analysis at +- 5:20am GMT
Usually, I am looking exclusively for a buy because Nasdaq was bullish overall and trading with the trend is always a good idea.
But I was considering just observing the market today as there is a fully formed Double top on a high TF (4H) + two red D candle closes + Nasdaq all-time highs.
Bears have just been waiting for the sell at all-time highs, but bulls have proven to be very strong over the last two months.
As the morning progressed, two double tops were forming on the 1H and 30min TF.
However, when a double bottom formed, I entered a small buy at A. – Confirmations:
- Market Pattern: Double bottom on the 1H TF. I entered my buy on the break of the neckline on the 30min TF
- Trend line: Break of the temporary down trend line (marked in blue)
- Fib: Double bottom formed at D 0.382 retracement level
- Candle sticks: Long wick candles on the 4H TF
Entered a position which is 20% of my usual position size, as I knew this was a risky entry (all EMA's + pivot point above my buy pushing down).
Set a tight mental stop loss, marked by the thick pink line. If candles started closing below this point then neckline of the 1H double bottom was broken and market would sell.
Bears pushed down and I took a 250 pips loss.
Entered a buy at B. – Confirmations:
S&R: Strong D level support and resistance
S&R: D 20 EMA was at this level
Fib: Bigger picture 0.382 D fib level
I knew there should at least be a bounce at this level and I entered a small buy.
I secured at entry after the market was +-250 pips up from my position, so I was trading risk free. Ultimately, market moved 850pips up from my position.
I was expecting a bigger move up to at least the 30min EMA but market turned around quite unexpectedly (for me at least) and I was out at entry. This is also the time of day that I am not in front of my trading screens and I was monitoring periodically on my phone.
What could I have done differently:
I could have jumped on the sell train, but generally I don’t like to flip flop between biases. I have lost a lot of money in doing that and trading with the overall trend has become part of my trading rules. This massive bearish move may be a bigger TF retracement or it may be a trend reversal.
Let’s see what the market has in store for us today.
Hope you caught the sell!
