NQ UpdateRSI hit overbought, looks like it pulled back.
ECB and Fed speakers tomorrow. Not sure what the pump is all about this morning since I'm not trading, but I might take a stab at some put options overnight.
I don't have much faith in the central banks actually doing their jobs correctly, so going light. Either way, I wouldn;t hold any long positions tonight.

SPY Swing Long on ReversalSPY dropped to a mid Fib level from the recent pivot high and bounced.
Price is now rising in a channel predictive for a 1% rise tomorrow.
The ADX indicator shows the negative direction reversed and now positive
and rising out of the chop zone confirms the reversal as a solid one not
a fake out as does the MACD with a crossover under the histogram
I will trade this with strike 392 calls for expiration this Friday expectant
for 25+% return in two days
ES Looking For Support Near 3920 - Then LIFTOFFPay attention. Today will likely be a large range bar - possibly with a deep low near 3920.
My SPY cycle patterns call today a "Major CRUSH". That means we could see a very large price range today.
Combined with other SPY Cycle patterns, I believe the ES will attempt to establish a base/bottom - retesting recent lows.
As we move into 2023, be aware that cycle trends have shifted. We are entering a Wave-5 bullish price trend.
This Wave-5 trend may not result in new all-time highs this year, but we should see a solid recovery/reversion back to the upside.
There are still risks related to the global banking/credit system, so stay cautious of crisis events.
Follow my research. Pay attention to the clear market data - not the perma-bears that continue to tell you a "major crash" is about to happen.
After today, we move into more bullish consolidation as Earnings start to hit.
SPY Fibonacci & TA. Bullish Target Above $410.For everyone interested:
Expect volatility to be king over the next few weeks (earnings and economic data).
SPY reaching a major APEX in price trend. It is very likely to resolve to the upside, but that means we have to be prepared for "false breakouts".
Fibonacci price trends suggest current trend is BULLISH (closing GAPS). The upper GAP may be the next target on a strong rally phase.
Don't play around with this trend. If you are SHORT - PROTECT YOUR CAPITAL.
Economic data continues to suggest the US markets will resolve to the upside if inflation trends continue to weaken.
Follow my research & videos.
I've been trying to warn you about the start of a Wave-5 rally for more than 5+ months.
NQ going into the CPI releaseHere is a quick update for those who follow my work and are not on our new site yet.
It's a critical turning point here, going into the CPI report, so I want to share my thinking, and hopefully, you won't get trapped regardless of tomorrow's am outcome.
I'm doing a more detailed analysis, but I will post a short version here.
First of all, I pointed out last week that the 11th should mark the important high.
Well, we got it!
Now, it doesn't have to be a daily high, but the daily closing high! So tomorrow can be an intra-day high with am spike.
I still think we could get a sort of OCT 13th CPI release action, but in another way - Gap and Dump!
If CPI will come in-line or a bit higher, let's say 6.6-6.7%, it can produce a knee-jerk reaction and sell from there.
There is a good fib confluence at 11600NQ for that move.
Our main target got hit today, and I warned yesterday, that it should see a higher number; it did!
The price has closed right at the resistance, so it satisfied the whole move up right there, in case it is just going to dump from the open
Support and resistances are on the chart.
I will also be doing SPX update and will post it at the end of the week here.
This chart should be enough for those looking for a good analysis out there without any commitment.
So don't be surprised if you see a big spike up, DO NOT chase it!
If it happens, I will use that opportunity to add to my short position
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.

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.
