NQ has a better ABc structure then the SPXNQ went down into the upper trend channel into the close, fake breakout imo.
This move should be over tomorrow if it was not today. My turning day is 4th on SPX and DOW.
There are 2 targets I have on the downside and I favour second more then the first one.
- 12500
- 12075
The low should come on the 15-16th and one more rally into EOM or early Sep to finish the bigger B.
It can stretch into the 14000 zone and should top in between of 50 and 61.8 retracement and fall apart into the Oct low.
Im planning on shorting AH's or tomorrow am.

NQ almost hit my target zone, expect a test of the mid channelNQ almost hit my target zone, expect a test of the mid channel if not more.
I still day trade this, no swing positions, only ES from Fri.
All depends on how we will be closing today, might enter with either long or short for tomorrow
Tomorrow is a turning day, it can be a move in one direction.
VIX has a long signal, be careful if long indexes
QQQ Nice breakoutTook QQQ 311C for tomorrow as discussed in yesterdays post. With AAPL AMZN after hours reaction, these calls gonna open up 300% tomorrow. Also took AMZN 130C for ER. i will be done at the open.
There is going to be a lot of FOMO tomorrow in the markets. Make sure u sell into strength tomorrow. Bears might throw in the towel after these ER reactions and probably bulls who ever sidelined are going to chase as well. So better to take profits and wait for a pullback.
QQQ near swing highsRight at last swing highs. SPY and IWM are already above these highs. Closed above these highs. QQQ right on it. Double top for now but Watch it tomorrow for either a confirmation of double top and pullback or a breakout over 308.55. We have AAPL AMZN reporting after hours tomorrow.
We are right in the middle of congestion zone shown in the highlighted area. Generally whenever we enter into the congestion zone, there is a 80% chance we go to the other end of congestion zone. In this case around 312 - 314.60.
RBLX AccumulationGood accumulation volume on RBLX. Going sideways after the initial break but looks good for next leg if ES can break 3950 and hold above it.
these bas formations after a good 70% drawdown from ATH’s looks really interesting. This is how stage 1 base breakouts happen for next bull run. Can easily see 47-50 if market holds.
SPY and ESIndexes are still sideways on weekly timeframe between 3640 - 3950. Its been 5 weeks for now and i think we may have another week of this chop. Market will mostly break this range after the fed meeting on JUL 27th. If we look at candle stick chart on weekly time frame, we can see that we had alternate red and green weeks and mostly closed below the 50% of the range for the week if its a red week and above 50% of range if its a green week. This week broke that pattern, we had a red week but closed almost at the highs of the range. POC and also is at the highs of the week which is good.
Coming to the Daily profile, Friday's profile is pretty peculiar with single prints above and below the close price. You can see that we have single prints from 3884 - 3900 on the upside and 3820 - 3811 on the downside which were created Friday on the back of strong retail report. Pretty rare that we see single prints both above and below so close to the closing price of the week. Coming to Friday’s profile, its a “P” shaped profile which generally indicates emotional short term trading especially when it occurs in a choppy range based market.
UUP weekly candle looks like a topping candle but i would have been more confident if we got it on DXY too. DXY weekly has back to back top wicks after an extended rally. So, there could definitely be merit for UUP topping candle. As i have been saying for several weeks now, this USD strength is not good for global economies. Leave Asia or Africa, take Europe as an example, EU is a net importer of primary goods. They import most of food, beverages and oil whose prices have been soaring and due to USD strength, their Euro is down in the gutter already. USD/EUR is at parity last week. If this dollar strength persists, EU will have a lot of pressure on its forex reserves and combined with their central bank lagging miles behind the curve on inflation and rate hikes, its a recipe for disaster. US equities cannot stage a consistent rally unless USD comes under control imo.
OIL is another market which needs to hold around this 90-100 range imo. Apart from severe demand destruction, i don't see any other reason why oil should come down drastically especially with Biden’s Saudi trip not yielding much results. If demand destruction occurs, it should only come with recession whether mild recession or strong recession is another debate altogether but we should have something which is again not good for markets.
CPI came in pretty hot last week and everyone was calling for a crash on markets with some people calling 3400, 3500 on ES but i had a different view. I said it will be really difficult for markets to break 3700 and ES held that level like a champ and rallied almost 150points. The main reason for this is oil prices being down a lot from last month and that should help reduce next months CPI reading. Although oil prices are just down to may levels where we had high CPI number too, it is only one piece of the puzzle. Take a look at commodity prices, they are off 21% from highs and still down 10% from may readings too. Shipping prices well off their highs too and these two things combined with oil prices should give us a lower CPI reading imo. Market is always forward looking and i thought if CPI reading was going to come in lower for JUL month, there is no need for markets to panic on last reading. Thats why i was inclined towards that down move being a trap for bears.
Being said that about CPI, now FED needs to calm down and not do 100bps hike on JUL 27th meeting. If indeed CPI is going to come down next month, there is no need for them to be too aggressive with 100bps hike and choke off money supply to the markets. I personally would like 50bps hike in JUL, AUG and SEP rather than than do 75bps now and 25bps in SEP just to give economy a little breathing room to regain its growth but more than likely they might go 75bps in JUL. In any way market is already anticipating 75bps and should be ok with it as long as Powell’s language doesn’t seem too hawkish.
Levels for week:
Bull Bear line - 3870
Below 3870, We can see 3826, 3812, 3776, 3756
Above 3870, we can see 3886, 3900, 3912, 3950.
NQ has a small H&S formation on smaller time frame.Markets didnt close bullish to my eyes, looking for some weakness on Monday, ideally good gap down
NQ has a small H&S formation on smaller time frame, ideal target is 11825.
Ideal target to hold next week is 11700.
Im short few contracts as of Fri close.
NQ is in no mans landNQ is riding the broken down trendline and the top of the channel, also its near the mid of the downtrend channel.
I have no good feeling of a direction at this point. Ideally we sell in am and then rally up again to top sometime tomorrow, targets are still 12100-20 and if above, then its bullish and it goes to 12400+
Volatility is going to start rising from the next week, so much biger moves are coming into mid of the month to 20th
NQ isnt looking good for the bulls hereResistance is very strong in this level, can stretch to 825 for a perfect touch.
11800 call from am got fulfilled, it's very close to it, I have shorted for a quick trade here, looking for a possible real move down off these highs, might not come till after the FOMC
Double Excess Phase Peak In Bitcoin - Seeking A BottomBack in 2021, I warned of an Excess Phase Peak pattern that may setup in Bitcoin. What I didn't see happening was a DOUBLE Excess Phase Peak pattern setting up.
This DOUBLE Excess Phase Peak pattern suggests the $30k to $34k price level in Bitcoin became extended critical support as price continued to navigate through the 5 Excess Phase Peak triggers.
Because price has recently broken below the $30k to $34k critical support, the current price phase is a downward slide while price attempt to find an ultimate bottom (a true bottom).
My expectations are that the $9500 level is where Bitcoin will ultimately find a bottom. Time will tell.
Ultimately, the US/Global markets may follow a similar pattern as we are seeing a global revaluation take place.
Follow my research.
