Will this week reveal an ongoing earnings recession?On 5th January 2023, we noted that the breakout above the upper bound of the descending channel would be bullish for the Nasdaq 100 index in the short term. Quickly after that, NQ1! broke above the resistance and embarked on the longest winning streak since November 2021. This recent move-up has been accompanied by market euphoria and overly bullish calls. Many investors are already dismissing the prospect of recession in 2023 and thinking the bear market is over. However, these calls are likely to turn out to be premature. Therefore, we will pay close attention to earnings reports from various companies. We will seek a decline in corporate profits to confirm our bearish thesis (beyond the short term). In addition to that, we will look for downgrades in future outlook and warnings over the slowing economy. As a result, we expect reality to creep back into the market and drag it lower over time. Accordingly, we maintain our 2023 price target for NQ1! at $10 000.

NASDAQ 100 CFD
YOU need to see this now - THE DANGER LINEThis is a wave trend indicator on the S&P 500 index that is based on relative strength with straightforward oversold or overbought conditions. Relative strength is a measure of momentum where both speed (time) and magnitude (change) is measured and plotted with simple or weighted moving averages.
What you are seeing above is a snapshot of a RSI/wave trend of the S&P 500 index based on monthly candles. Understand that it takes the measure of a month of time just to get a single plot of data and this particular snapshot represents over two decades. But right before your eyes are very clear trends. The data is just pure and simple math and math does not lie. Ignore the news. Follow price, volume, momentum.. just follow the data.
I will try not to state my opinion too much.. and just follow the data. What I see on the chart is concerning. If this decline continues over the next month or two, momentum is going to accelerate and volatility go up while the market basically crashes... i.e. if the DANGER LINE is breached. I found it odd that volatility (VIX) has been quite docile considering the amount of downside we've seen in the indices this year. That is concerning. It is entirely possible that the September thru November monthly candles are positive and this trend finds support.. and the danger line is not breached. On the flipside, this decent can continue and really pick up speed and we see a 2000-2003 correction or 2007-2009.
Here is an overlay snapshot with those corrections to similar scale. That is what could happen if the current trend continues.. we could see 12-24 months of recession and very steep drops and sharp bearish reversals. Be careful, manage risk, consider hedging certain positions, and know that you DO NOT know what is going to happen.
NASDAQ holding the 1 month patternNasdaq (NDX) is pull-back following Friday's high. This is nothing more than a technical 1-month pattern which, supported by the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) is posting rises around +6% and pull-backs around -3.5%.
The 4H MA50 is currently a little over 11800 and a -3.80% pull-back (max on the pattern) can make exact contact with it tomorrow. With the Higher Lows trend-line just below it, we are willing to buy there and aim at a +5.85% rise at 12530.
The 4H RSI Buy Zone can offer additional insight on the buy entry. A break and closing below the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line), would be a trend change and sell signal towards 10800.

Nasdaq Weekly Forecast 30 Jan - 3 Feb 2023 Nasdaq Weekly Forecast 30 Jan - 3 Feb 2023
Based on the data from VXN we can see that currently the IV for this week is at 25.01%, equal to last week.
This can be translated in +/- 3.47% weekly movement from the open of the candle, which makes the next top/bot channel
TOP: 12640
BOT: 11788
The probability to break this channel(aka the close of the weekly is going to end up either above/below this channel) is at
If we were to make a more accurate statement, based on the current percentile of the VXN( from 0 to 10) , we can apply a condition in the filter
to look for scenarios when the volatility were lower than 50 percentile( bottom half). If we were to take this data we can see, that our numbers would be:
84% according to the last 20 years of data
100% according to the data since 2022( I would recommend the 87% instead)
So we can use this data instead for proper calculation of our trading plan
From the technical rating analysis point of view we can deduct the next information:
Currently there is a :
78% to touch the previous weekly high
26% to touch the previous weekly low
At the same time if we are going to take a look at the moving average rating for different timeframes we can see :
4H Timeframe: +53% Bullish Trend
D Timeframe: +66% Bullish Trend
W Timeframe: -26% Bearish Trend
Lastly on average, based on the current percentile, we can expect that our asset is going to move:
3.37% from the open to the close candle for the bullish scenario
3.4% from the open to the close candle for the bearish scenario

S&P 500 - Medium term upside or lower lows?In our previous post we outlined how we distinguish tow different scenarios.
Either we are in a ABC to the upside targeting 4300 and possibly beyond (as labeled in the main chart, green arrow) or we are in wave 3 of C targeting lower lows and the completion of the bearish wolfe wave pattern.
We stated how we believe the first scenario to be more likely, but the broadening patterns, the fact that priced failed to take out 4136, bearish divergence on rsi and the wolfe wave that still has a lower target suggests that the bearish scenario is still a possibility.
This may unfold as below:
In each case, a movement to the downside is now expected. We evaluate the probability of the two scenarios once more price action unfolds.
Breaking the major trendline and retesting or fake out? Stay tuned.
We are short from @4050 stop loss 4065.5 risk 0.6% of equity

NASDAQ hit 1D MA200 for first time since April 05!The Nasdaq index (NDX) hit today its 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) for the first time since April 05 2022. This completed the bullish leg we signaled on our analysis at the start of this month:
At the same time, the price hit the January 05 Lower Highs trend-line, entering the No-trade Zone. This is the region we regard as highly volatile as it is between the 0.618 Fibonacci level from the August 16 High and the Lower Highs trend-line.
We will buy again upon confirmation after a 1D candle closes above the 0.618 Fib and target the 1W MA100, which is just below the 13760 August 16 High. Similarly, if we close a candle below the 1D MA100 (green trend-line), we will sell back to the top of the Support Zone (10765).

Big picture look at NASDAQ (QQQ)One of my ideas where I zoom out and look at the bigger picture for the NASDAQ using QQQ on the weekly timeframe. The technical analysis is pretty simple with a focus on the main trading channels and how the major peaks align. Hard to guess the markets direction, but there is definitely room to go lower to the support of the green channel.

We're cautiously bull $DJI, bit more on $NDX
But there's reasons:

NDX:Nasdaq Pullback 61.8% Fibo For A LONG ViewAfter two weeks of strong gains, European markets returned some of the momenta from earlier this year with a subdued pullback last week, with some suggesting that we may have seen highs in the short term, similar to what we saw last year.
In the U.S. markets, the week was more mixed, with the Dow posting its worst week since early December, while the Nasdaq 100 ended the week higher.
While there is some logic to the claim that we may have seen a peak in U.S. markets given the way they have behaved over the past few months, there is less argument when looking at markets in Europe, which look set to open higher this morning.
Valuations in Europe are initially lower, and from an earnings/dividend perspective much more attractive than in the U.S., with the FTSE100 and DAX trading at projected dividend yields of 3.77% and 3.36%, respectively.
Nevertheless, there is a growing belief in financial markets that central banks are on the verge of a significant change in monetary policy later this year. This view seems to be gaining further support now that some Fed policymakers do not seem to be opposed to the idea of another step in the central bank's cycle of raising rates by up to 25 bps next week.
This view continues to be reflected in the U.S. bond market, where yields continue to hit new multi-week lows, with 2-year U.S. bonds closing lower for the third week in a row, as did 10-year bond yields.
The U.S. dollar dynamic was equally nuanced, hitting a new 8-month low as various European Central Bank officials continued to make more hawkish statements. The pound also held up well last week, closing higher against the U.S. dollar for the 4th week in a row
Looking ahead to the new week, the focus will be on the latest company reports as investors will decide whether the current growth momentum can continue and how far central banks are willing to go to curb inflation.
Last week, markets seemed to find some solace in the fact that amid the uncertain outlook for the global economy, companies have become more focused on preserving margins, cutting costs, and cutting jobs.
This assumption is based on the assumption that any slowdown in economic growth would lead to a pause in the central bank's plans to raise rates, and then to a rapid rate cut. This assumes, of course, that the aforementioned central banks would be happy to start cutting rates when inflation is still well above target.
This seems highly unlikely, and while markets seem used to this way of thinking since the financial crisis cut rates sharply, it is by no means what it seems to the markets.
Unemployment is still low not only in the U.S., but also in Britain and Europe, and after Fed Chair Lael Brainard, usually considered "dovish," said last week that she thinks inflation is still too high, at this point, it is hard to imagine a scenario in which a rate cut this year would be likely.
DJI trapped!Trapped between these very important retracements. They act as price magnets, and significant support/resistance levels.
These were drawn with the magnet tool, so there is no bias towards their positions.
Do note that we are analyzing the DXY*DJI chart, which shows us a clearer picture of recent price action.
A closeup.
Are we in UTAD?

Who will survive?The balance between SPX, NDX and DJI changes. Some are stronger than others.
If we don't have food on our table and if there is no electricity or internet, who will go buy the new shiny faux bijou?
Meta, Tesla and Google need internet to exist. If push comes to shove, they will be the first to drop.
Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground.
