Why NQ is probably tanking big timeIn this weekly chart, we see QQQ, which represents the Nasdaq. As we can see, it had a hell of a run up. Too far too fast IMO, and it reached the stretch level at the Upper Medianline Parallel. The natural move is now to let go, take a breath and trade down to center again, which is the Centerline. After all the most major and most important earnings results are over, and Funds have pumped up their gains through manipulative Options plays, it's time to reap what they have planted and book the gains. It's all in line with, all moves are at the point, and everything is showing in a simple chart. Unless price is opening and closing outside of the U-MLH, it's time to load the Boat and sail to the South.

GLD – Why Gold Is a Clear Short to MePrice moved from the Lower Median Line (L-MLH) up to the Centerline, fulfilling the 80% rule. Then we had two Hagopians, which sent price right back to the Centerline. After the breakout above the Centerline, the next target was the Upper Median Line Parallel (U-MLH), which was reached rather quickly. Finally, price broke above the U-MLH and was pulled up toward the Warning Line (WL). Is this the end of the happy story? I think so—because Gold has now reached its 2nd standard deviation, and there’s probably no more gas left in the tank. The Trade: - A logical target is the U-MLH. - A secondary target is the Centerline. At the very least, if you're long, this might be a good time to take some profits—because no tree grows to the moon. For further details, I will follow-up with a Video explanation - See my Signature.

Fall Down to $70 ApproachingWith the RSI above average since mid-April 2025, the trend has been steadily rising up to $82 per share even breaking the highs from late February and March. Price projected onto both (A and B) Inside pitchforks is well above the median line. In the pitchfork A the price is even directly touching the upper parallel line. Reversal near the highest achieved price this year on 21st February is probable Based on these indications, we can expect a fall to around $70 somewhere in the middle of May. Key details: RSI over "overbought" level Price in both Inside pitchforks near the upper parallel line Longer uptrend = breakdown necessary

NQ - Nasdaq's potential to reboundThe Median or Centerline: The Median (Centerline) Line is the central element of the Pitchfork and acts as the equilibrium point. Price tends to oscillate around this line, and it often serves as a strong reference for potential reversals or price targets. A price move back toward the Median Line is common after significant moves away from it. Pitchfork (Red): The red Pitchfork, drawn through significant price points, provides the overall trend direction and shows the potential path to the downside. The red line indicates a bearish bias in the current setup, as it has been guiding the price lower. Green Circles and Arrows: These represent key areas of support. The lower green circle and green arrows indicate price has found solid support in this region. The price has been bouncing from this support level, showing that it is reacting to the [ower boundary of the Pitchfork. This behavior aligns with the rule that the price tends to respect these boundaries, creating a foundation for a potential move back toward the Median Line. Price Action Analysis: The price recently tested the lower green circle and green arrows, bouncing off this support level, which is a typical reaction in a Pitchfork setup. According to the Median Line theory , when the price moves too far away from the Median Line, it often returns toward it. Therefore, the bounce off the lower boundary suggests that price may now be setting up for a bullish reversal toward the RED Median Line . Bottom Line: The price action is following the general Pitchfork playbook . The bounce from the lower green circle suggests that the price is setting up for a potential bullish reversal toward the RED Median Line . The next major test will be the upper resistance in the red Pitchfork , after the break of the Centerline. If the price can break through this resistance, a strong move higher is likely. Keep an eye on this critical point!

GOLD Reached it's Apex and is ready for a dumpIn my earlier posts I said that Gold has the potential to reach the U-MLH, which has become true. Up there, the price of Gold is stretched. Yes it can go up even more beyond the Upper-Medianline-Parallel. But the overall numbers of occurrences are small. So, at this natural stretch, price has a high probability to revert to the mean. And this is supported by the fact, that the overall indexes are heavenly oversold and already showing the signs of a pullback to the North (see my last NQ post). Why not just watch how it plays out, and make a decision for a trade after the FOMC, or even tomorrow. Don't rush into these unknowing situations. Be patient and wait for clear signs to take action.

Carvana - More Fish To Come? You Bet!After the first post about CVNA, I bailed out on a small loss (see linked Chart). But then Immediately loaded Puts and had a good "Steak & Lobster" time §8-) Price behaves like textbook when we consult the Medianlines trading framework and rule set. First price reached the red Centerline, followed by the expected pullback to the white Lower-Medianline-Parallel. If the "Fish" can't manage to jump back into the white Fork, then I expect much more downside to come. If this is the case, we have two good looking PTG's at PTG1 & PTG2. To me, this Scam Company (see my first post) is done. It's just a matter of time. For the longer time frame, I will check out ITM LEAP-Puts and let them profit from the ride to the south. And for short term trades, I just wait for pullbacks as it did now, and take it short to finance some of my LEAPs, Dinner and Weekend Holidays. Isn't it nice, how we can find good even in bad? §8-) May the Fish be with us!

SPOT - My Mom Says I Have A short Bias...hmmm...Most of my Charts I analyze are currently showing a short setup. Mom says I'm shorting the whole world. hmmm... However, here's another one, just to keep the streak going. §8-) Spotify is at the U-MLH = At the upper extreme. The next natural move should be down to the Centerline. Since I have no magic wand to show me the Future, I lean on my stats and my experience. Shorting Spotify down to the Centerline or getting stopped out abve the U-MLH. Simple (...but not easy ;-) ) ...have to run, Mom calls for Dinner.

NFLX - NetFlix is overhyped an TA says tooBesides what I think about NFLX (bad for you, poor quality & service, lairs etc.), there is something that can be used to rate and judge a Stocks pricing - The Technical Analysis. The white Fork projects the most probable path of price. The U-MLH is the upper stretch, the L-MLH the lower and the CL is the Center, where price is in equilibrium. Where is price now? It mooned to the upper Warning-Line! Such moves are insane, crazy, not healthy and produce by manipulation and/or greed that eats Brains. However - As I follow the rules of the Medianlines (Forks), I know that price is hyper extended up there. So, it can't go further? Of course it could. But Chances are poor that it will. Instead, Chances are high that price falls down to the U-MLH. At least. Why? Besides price is stretched, it failed to move up to the next Warning Line (WL2). So, there you have it. I'm shorting NFLX and my target is at least the U-MLH, with further downside potential with PTG2 at the Centerline.

Crude Oil – A $10 Short with a Valuable LessonThe price hit the Upper Median Line Handle (U-MLH) three times and was rejected each time (red circles). These were all high-potential short trade opportunities. However, none of these short trades managed to reach the Profit Target Goal (PTG) at the Center Line (CL). When the price repeatedly fails to hit the CL, it often builds up momentum for a larger move. The last short opportunity from the U-MLH was at Circle #3. If you missed it, you have another chance now. Breaking the "shelf" (the petrol support line) is just like breaking a Median Line or a Center Line. It’s not magic—though it may sometimes seem like it. The three slanted petrol lines extending to the right function the same way as a fork. So, we just broke the (petrol) Center Line, right? Now, where is the price likely to go after breaking this (petrol) Center Line? That’s right! There is about an 80% probability that it will move towards the (petrol) Lower Median Line Parallel. What a coincidence—it aligns exactly with the red Center Line! Of course, this is all based on probabilities, not guarantees. We can't predict the future, but we can rely on rules, statistics, and knowledge. I hope you learned something today. If you enjoy my work, I’d appreciate it if you like and share it with others. Have a great day! 😊

HIMS - The Full MonthyNo, no weed involved in this analysis. As I said before, sometimes chart analysis is simple. But sometimes we need to extend it, combining all our knowledge to find the facts. Let's see what we have here: 1. The white Fork. ...it's crazy, isn't it? ;-) It looks like I was looking to fit it somehow. But the truth can't be farther away. If you understand the principles behind this tool, WHAT it really measures, and what INFORMATION it really provides, then you get it, why this Fork is drawn like it is. For the non Forkers: a) Forks measure extremes, cut swings in upper, lower extremes and show where the center is. b) they project the most probable path of price. The A-Point was the old high. The B-Point was the lowest low. The C-Point is, where we had the last low, after the High was breached. So, in essence, it's a very stretched Pullback-Fork. 2. The slanted grey lines: They just bring the natural Swings to light, and project them into the future. That's it. I'm not going into the the minor drawings here, since they are self explaining. Just give yourself a little bit time, watch the Chart from a distance, and let your thoughts flow. Any trades here? Let's observe and trade from one extreme to the Center and beyond...

RUT - Russle signals a drop to 1900ishThe white Pitchfork was guiding us to the Center-Line. As so often, price is turning at this level, just to reach the opposite side. It's the same game every time. Just follow the rules, apply a good risk and money management. The down-sloping red Fork projects the current most probably path of price to the downside. And of course our profit target, which is the red Center-Line. The signal is the break, the close below the shelf, the tiny support, marked by the petrol horizontal line. Trade wisely, trade without attaching your emotions. It just is what it is, whatever the outcome will be. Knowing this, you can embrace inner freedom in trading.
