Will Powell's speech spark another rally or spook the market?In our previous post on the Nasdaq index, we stated that the bullish breakout above the descending channel would bolster the bullish odds in the short term. Furthermore, we said that in such a scenario, we would closely observe volume and the ability of SMAs to halt the price rise. Interestingly, after the breakout, NQ1! jumped approximately 3.8% and stopped slightly below the 50-day SMA before returning below the 20-day SMA (falling within the scope of natural retracements after the price deviates too far from a moving average). At the same time, the volume picked up, reflecting an increase in selling pressure.
Despite this bullish development, we remain bearish on the index, which follows what we stated before about the breakout not impacting the primary bearish trend. Therefore, today, we will pay close attention to Jerome Powell’s speech. We expect him to reiterate that the FED will stay committed to hiking rates throughout 2023 and achieving its goals over time. Depending on Jerome Powell’s tone, market participants might find signs of a pivot in his words, potentially sparking more upside in the short term. Contrarily, an overly hawkish tone might spook the market into selling. Therefore, we raise a word of caution over a potential increase in volatility.

Technical analysis
Daily time frame = Slightly bullish
Weekly time frame = Neutral
Illustration 1.02
Illustration 1.02 shows the daily chart of NQ1!. The yellow arrow indicates the retracement to 20-day SMA and 50-day SMA. To support a bearish case, we want to see the price stay below the 50-day SMA. Additionally, (ideally) we want to see a further increase in volume accompanying a price decline, followed by the breakout's invalidation.

NQ
Tuesday Bleed?What can we expect from the upcoming news events?
Im still very bullish on the dollar.
I anticipate short selling well into the first 3 months of the year.
Mitigating the massive amount of hodling, which in turn clears up books to bring in fresh interest.
If we get below the 10K mark, I can make the expectation that a bottom may form after 2025. This is an intuitive guess.
NDX Weekly Volatility Analysis 9-13 Jan 2023 NDX Weekly Volatility Analysis 9-13 Jan 2023
We can see that currently the implied volatility for this week is 3.83%
With this in mind, currently from ATR point of view we are located in the 81th percentile.
Based on this, we can expect that the current weekly candles ( from open to close ) are going to between:
*For calculations, I am using the data since 2022*
Bullish: 3.24% movement
Bearish: 3.3% movement
At the same time, with this data, we can make a top/bot channel which is going to contain inside the movement of this asset,
meaning that there is a 23.6% that our close of the weekly candle of this asset is going to be either above/below the next channel:
TOP: 11574
BOT: 10680
Taking into consideration the previous weekly high/low, currently for this candle there is :
36.46% probability we are going to touch previous weekly high
66.3% probability we are going to touch previous weekly low
Lastly, from the technical analysis point of view, currently from
Daily timeframe indicates -53.33% BEARISH trend from the moving averages index
Weekly timeframe indicates -80% BEARISH trend from the moving averages index
Monthly timeframe indicates -26.67% BEARISH trend from the moving averages index
The bear market has not endedLast year, NQ1! dropped approximately 34%, entering a bear market territory. In 2023, we hardly expect any significant improvement in the stock market due to the persistence of bearish fundamental factors, including high inflation, the prospect of more interest rate hikes, and a global slowdown. We expect these factors to stay in place throughout the year and weigh heavily on the index. Furthermore, we expect them to lead the U.S. economy deeper into a recession. With that said, we anticipate the bear market to progress from the second stage into the third stage in 2023.
We will seek confirmation of our assessment in the upcoming earnings season and look for corporate underperformance and outlook downgrades. Additionally, we will look for a jump in corporate bankruptcies and a pick-up in unemployment. In accordance with our outlook, we maintain a bearish stance on the index and keep our price target of $10 000 for NQ1 (although we think the index has a high chance of going far below that).
Illustration 1.01
Illustration 1.01 shows the daily chart of NQ1! and the declining channel we showed a few months ago. Currently, NQ1! trades near its upper bound. If it manages to break above it, it will bolster the bullish case in the short term. However, a failure to do so will be bearish and hint at exhaustion.
Technical analysis
Daily time frame = Neutral
Weekly time frame = Neutral
Illustration 1.02
The image above shows the daily chart of NQ1! and simple support/resistance levels. In addition to that, two moving averages are present, acting as additional resistance levels; in case of an upward correction, we will pay close attention to these SMAs and their ability to halt the price rise.

NQ updateI was blocked for a week for simply mentioning my site I have it under my TradingView profile, so sorry for those who follow me here.
Here is a quick update of NQ and I will post ES later.
We should have this move down into the channel tomorrow.
One thing to note is that 29th (today) was a window for the low, so if tomorrow we see a good pullback, it will be a buy-able one
I will be posting less here as I have other commitments and really dont like being blocked for something I pay for.
Global Markets Are Setting Up A MAJOR BOTTOM For 2023+US/Global markets are actively seeking a bottom at this point.
We've witnessed the largest unwinding of global excesses since the DOT COM bubble and, before that, the 1929 market peak.
Use this symbol to experiment with market trends/setups: (TSLA + ARKK + ARKW + ARKQ + GME ) / 5
In my opinion, the deep selling is nearly over. This chart shows the custom symbol is very close to the center level on the historical Pitchfork and very close to a 1.0 (100%) Fibonacci extension from 2016 to 2019. I suspect the unwinding of the global markets is very close to a BOTTOM right now.
2023 could be very explosive, considering the extreme downside pressure we've seen over the past 15+ months.
Think about this for a few minutes...
_This chart shows price is currently AT or BELOW 2016~2018 center Std Dev levels. It may move a bit lower before actually finding a bottom.
_This price level represents a pre-2019 earnings/revenue expectation (ignoring the past four years of progress).
_The US Fed has already disrupted inflation trends and will likely shift towards more moderate policies in H1:2023.
_This was not an excess bubble as much as it was a speculative bubble during the COVID supply disruption.
Now, we shift back to more normal Revenue/Growth expectations. The US/Global markets are actively seeking a bottom RIGHT NOW. The reversion/reflation trade (bullish) could be very powerful.
---- ------------------------------------------------
Precious Metals will continue to appreciate - just like what happened in 2002~2005+. We are in the early stages of a reflation cycle (post COVID speculative bubble).
The bubble has burst. Prices have deflated. A reflation rally is very likely unless some global crisis event disrupts the global economy. Gold and Silver will likely rally 35% to 55% higher over the next 2+ years (possibly higher).
This is just like 2002~2005 all over again.

I believe it is time to start initiating "TOKEN" positions in deeply undervalued Technology, Energy, Consumer Staples, Healthcare, and other "relation" sectors.
Follow my research.

Weekly Analysis 12/18After a crazy, news heavy week, I expect price to begin bullish, and end bearish. Next week, we have the Consumer Confidence, GDP, and PCE releases. It will be interesting to see if we do in fact see a santa rally to finish the year off. In ICT fashion, I expect the high of week to be made on tuesday / wednesday.
New SPY Cycle Patterns Headed Into Christmas 2022Pay attention to the very real possibility that the current GAP will be filled early this week as price attempts to find a base/bottom after last week's selling.
I expect moderate volatility and a change of trend as we move closer to Christmas. Initially, we'll see some moderate downward price pressure, then we'll see a shift upward near the end of this week.

NQ with Head and Shoulders Pattern Identified on the 4H CME_MINI:NQ1! A Head and Shoulders pattern was identified on the 4H timeframe. This pattern was identified in confluence with a bear flag pattern on the 1H timeframe. Price then broke just below the flag. I believe that NQ will see more downside. After I zoomed out further, I noticed that we spiked from a demand zone November 10, 2022. Perhaps NQ will retrace back to where it spiked from on November 10, 2022. A screenshot is provided below for your review.
