$MRVL Nice Risk Reward HereNASDAQ:MRVL is still basing so this could be quite an early trade. However, I did put on a ½ size position yesterday as it rose above the 21 EMA (blue). I like that it is over the AVWAP from the Jan 23rd all-time high (ATH). That means that by price and volume the majority of stockholders are at or near breakeven since that ATH. Which also tells me that there are not many sellers left and that the stock has a chance of entering a stage 2 uptrend.
My current stop will be based on a solid close below the 50 DMA (red). I want to add to my position “if” we can get a good follow-thru day above $75.26.
If you like this idea, please make it your own and follow “your” trading rules. Remember, it is your money at risk.
SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY)
A tale of two wedgesIn early 2025 we’ve seen two classic wedge patterns on two of the market’s most watched charts: a falling wedge on the U.S. Dollar Index ( TVC:DXY ) and a rising wedge on the S&P 500 ETF ( AMEX:SPY ). Alone each tells its own tale—but together they sketch a tug‑of‑war between a fading dollar and resilient equities.
The Falling Wedge on DXY
A falling wedge in a downtrend signals waning bearish momentum and often precedes a bullish reversal once price breaks the upper trendline.
The Rising Wedge on SPY
A rising wedge in an uptrend is classically a bearish reversal pattern —a breakdown below the lower trendline confirms sellers are gaining control.
A Converging Reversal
Given the well‑known inverse correlation between the dollar and most assets, it’s noteworthy that both asset classes are flashing signs of a reversal. Taken together that makes a compelling argument.
$SNOW Bull Flag?NYSE:SNOW has been and still may be one of the leaders in this market. It is forming a Bull Flag and within that flag is a nice wedging formation.
I am bullish with this name, so I have an alert set on the upper downtrend line. Should it break that, I will look for a good risk reward entry to open a position. It is possible if the market pulls back, that NYSE:SNOW could continue down to test the 50 DMA (red). All TBD.
If you like this idea, please make it your own and follow your trading plan. Remember, it is your money at risk.
In addition, Nvidia NASDAQ:NVDA and Snowflake NYSE:SNOW were among the investors that backed artificial intelligence company Reka's $110 million funding round, Reka said Tuesday.
Reka said the investment will accelerate its technical development efforts and will also scale its multimodal platforms.
The investment boosts the startup's valuation to more than $1 billion from the previous $300 million in a 2023 funding round, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
Why a USD Bounce Could Trigger a Stock PullbackThe US Dollar has faced brutal selling during the first half of 2025. Some are even questioning whether the Dollar’s global hegemony is at risk. Early in the year the US stock market AMEX:SPY sold off aggressively, falling 19% from mid‑March to early April. Since then stocks have more than regained their losses and the Dollar is still in the tank. So where does that leave us for the rest of the year?
The Dollar Inverse Correlation
The US Dollar has an inverse correlation to most everything. Stocks, bonds, crypto, commodities, real estate — all are measured in Dollars. Therefore when the Dollar loses value, all things equal it takes more of them to reach the same value those assets were denominated at before. Conversely when the Dollar rises, other assets lose value in Dollar terms. Here we can see a long standing inverse correlation to stocks AMEX:SPY
Dollar in oversold territory
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a momentum oscillator that measures the magnitude of recent price changes on a scale from 0 to 100 to help identify overbought (above 70) or oversold (below 30) conditions. The Dollar has hit oversold several times so far this year, but not yet staged a material recovery.
Stocks in overbought territory
Meanwhile stocks have staged a blistering rebound off the "Liberation Day" driven selloff earlier this year. The S&P 500 now sits at an all‑time high, and you guessed it, has tapped overbought twice this month.
USD is fundamentally attractive
Because investors seek to earn the highest available yield on their capital, they tend to move funds into currencies offering higher interest rates (and away from those with lower rates), so differences in policy rates across countries create incentives for cross‑border borrowing and lending that drive FX flows. For example the Fed ( ECONOMICS:USINTR ) is at 4.5%, and the ECB ( ECONOMICS:EUINTR ) is at 2.15%. Moreover the Dollar is down significantly against major trading pairs that have lower yields. In our prior example the Dollar is down 11.98% against the Euro YTD (1- FX:EURUSD ), leaving substantial room for capital gains. Gravity could lure FX traders back in the second half of 2025.
Tariff calculus
Tariffs tend to bolster the imposing country’s currency in two main ways: by making imports more expensive they reduce import volumes, improving the trade balance (i.e. fewer foreign‑currency outflows), and by collecting duties in domestic currency the government effectively withdraws that currency from circulation, increasing its relative scarcity. Both effects lift demand for—and support the value of—the home currency.
Putting it all together
Despite the TVC:DXY ’s ~10.8% YTD slide and repeated oversold conditions, the compelling carry trade sets the stage for a USD bounce that, in turn, could pressure overextended equities. With stocks stretched and the Dollar oversold, the carry‑driven rebound in USD could well presage a pullback in equities. Stocks are expensive, Dollars are cheap 🤑
Extended rally off April lows should be completing imminentlyEvery so often, a market move defies conventional expectations of retracement—and the rally off the Liberation Day lows is exactly that. It’s extended longer and climbed higher than even the most bullish forecasts imagined in early April. No one remembers the calls for an imminent recession by most large Wall Street firms.
Now, we're pushing into yet another all-time high—despite glaring negative MACD divergence and a financial media landscape that’s nothing short of euphoric.
The narratives being pushed? Honestly, it’s hard to write them with a straight face:
Tariffs are no longer inflationary. Apparently, I wasted time and tuition learning international trade theory and macroeconomics. Who knew deficits and trade imbalances didn’t matter anymore? Who pays tariffs again? ...never mind.
Weak momentum since mid-May signals not exhaustion—but an “unhealthy absence” of institutional selling, which apparently means the retail trader is in full control now. Because that always ends well... right?
TSLA 24 JULY 2025I have marked 2 levels in green boxes. Price is inside this box pre market and TSLA is down -8.5% from the highs of $338 post market till $310 & -7.5% down from yesterday's close
A better level is the lower demand zone but its not the best. Price has not hit any major resistance.
My job is to read the data & trade. I am still bullish & 10% up down move is normal for Tesla &
This could be a "BEAR TRAP".

Expect Correction august/septemberMarkets MUST correct, everything is overbought and sentiment is Extreme greed. RSI points to extreme overbought territory, VIX very low and not going any lower (reached bottom).
Usually august/september the market corrects. so i expect a correction around 5-8%.

July 21 Special Update : Metals, SPY & More. What's Next.This special update is to highlight why I continue to believe traders should stay very cautious of this rally in the SPY/QQQ/BTCUSD.
Underlying economic data suggest that this is one big speculative rally following the April Tariff collapse.
And, the economic data I see from my custom indexes suggests the markets are moving into a very volatile and potentially dangerous topping pattern.
As I've stated many times in this video. I'm not saying the markets have topped and you should SELL EVERYTHING. I'm suggesting this market is extremely over-valued in terms of the underlying risk factors at play and the very clear data that suggests the markets are already in a recessionary price trend.
You may ask, "How can the markets continue to rally like this in a moderate recession?".
The answer is simple.
All bubbles end with a super-speculative phase. This phase is where everyone piles into a euphoric attempt to ride the rally higher.
It happened in the late 1990s. It has happened again through the 2000-2005+ housing bubble. Heck, it has occurred in the collectors market over the past few decades where people spent fortunes on the "hottest items" (think Beanie-Babies) only to find out they bought at the height of the bubble.
That is why I continue to urge traders to remain cautious and to withdraw profits from this speculative rally phase. Protect your investment capital immediately and consider the risks associated with the information I share in this video.
I'm not trying to scare anyone. I'm just trying to be realistic in terms of what I see in my data and why I believe now is the best time to MOVE TO SAFETY.
My data suggests that the markets are about to enter a fragile and potentially dangerous pullback phase. If you want to ride it out - go for it.
Otherwise, prepare for significant volatility over the next six months or more.
Get some.

SPY - On Our Way To Target 3 ...But First?Trading Fam,
It's been a while since I updated you all on the SPY, which, as you know, we track closely to help us determine the overall market trend. Since we have now exceeded my Target #2, it's time for me to give you all another update. But first, a little context for my new readers which I have been getting a lot of recently, thanks to my new indicator hitting it out of the park.
So, we began marking targets on our chart here after spotting an inverse H&S on the daily chart a few years ago. Many of my followers back then were doubtful the pattern would fully form, or if it did, that it would actually play out. But the pattern completed about 14 months ago and subsequently broke the neckline in June of last year. I then knew we were going full send and have been predicting a 700 SPY final target since. This target has been made utilizing both that inverse H&S pattern as well as a longer-trend Elliot Wave, which I don't have denoted here at this point. The chart gets too messy with all of my markings. Regardless, we are currently in wave 5 and heading steadily towards that 670-700 target #3, my final target.
But be careful! Today, we have hit the underside of that RED area, which is HUGE resistance. I would expect that we will NOT break straight through this without some pullback prior. Indeed, the market is overextended at this moment, and we'll need the volume to be able to push through. Could this occur? Of course, anything is possible. But, it is not likely right now.
My guess is that we'll at least pull back to one of those levels below us or possibly even re-touch that 200 SMA in red before the final push.
Anyways, it is worth taking note of what may be ahead of us in the next few weeks or months so that you can plan your trades accordingly. Stay with me. We're almost there.

I am 100 % short spy and qqq I am BULLISH DXY the chart posted is now setup for the cycle top On several cycles and we have just popped the Shiller p/e above 3866 second highest reading ever . Cycle are into a peak that was due 7/5 to 7/14 So why are we now turning down .? wait the energy from one of the largest solar storms is the time for the transition it is also a new moon . my spirals have called for the top as it did in 12/5 and 2/17 . I see a min drop of over 8 and could see well over 11.8 within the next 90 days . best of trades WAVETIMER
$QQQ this might the spot. Hello and good night, evening, afternoon, or morning wherever you may be. I have been looking at names all day and I wanted to check the indexes: NASDAQ:QQQ and $SPY.
Here we have the indexes up almost 30% from the April lows and sitting about 10% YTD. The candle highlighted is the spinning stop candle and has volume to match. These candles usually take place (green or red) in downtrends or uptrends and provide pivotal indication. The market has major earnings this week (07/21/2025 to 07/25/2025) with names like Google, Tesla, General Dynamics, Verizon, Domino’s And so forth.
This week could be a catalyst to see some great volatility. I believe staying 3% from moving averages so I have noted 3.5% from the 50EMA and revisiting the 20EMA and 21EMA in the low $550 area. My target is $553 which is only a 1.4% move which can happen in one session in this environment while staying 3.5% above the 50EMA.
My trade idea will be $553p for 07/25/2025. Good luck!

TESLA 400 BY END OF YEAR !! 5 REASONS !!!
1. **Strong Earnings and Revenue Growth**
Tesla has a track record of exceeding earnings expectations. If the company reports robust financial results in Q3 and Q4—driven by higher vehicle deliveries and growth in its energy storage business—investors are likely to gain confidence. This could push the stock price upward as Tesla demonstrates its ability to scale profitably.
2. **Advancements in Autonomous Driving**
Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology is a game-changer in the making. If Tesla achieves significant progress toward Level 4 or 5 autonomy—where vehicles can operate with little to no human intervention—it could position the company as a leader in transportation innovation. Such a breakthrough would likely excite investors and drive the stock price higher.
3. **Battery Technology Innovation**
Tesla is working on developing cheaper, longer-lasting batteries, which could lower production costs and improve profit margins. If the company announces advancements in battery tech—such as improvements from its Battery Day initiatives or new manufacturing processes—it could signal a competitive edge, boosting the stock to $400.
4. **Global Expansion and Production Increases**
Tesla’s new Gigafactories in Texas and Berlin are ramping up production, while potential market entries like India loom on the horizon. Increased output and access to new customers signal strong growth potential. If Tesla successfully scales its operations, investors may see this as a reason to push the stock price toward $400.
5. **Favorable Market Trends and Government Policies**
The global shift toward sustainable energy and electric vehicles (EVs) is accelerating, supported by government incentives and regulations favoring clean energy. If EV adoption continues to rise and policies provide a tailwind—such as subsidies or stricter emissions standards—Tesla, as an EV leader, could see increased demand and a higher stock valuation.
While reaching $400 by year-end is ambitious, Tesla’s strong brand, innovative edge, and leadership under Elon Musk could make it achievable. That said, risks like market volatility and growing competition from other EV makers could pose challenges. If these five factors align, however, Tesla’s stock has a solid shot at hitting that target.
META -- Breakdown? Or Move Higher? Levels To Watch ForHello Traders!
Meta has broken down from its ascending trendline. This is bearish.
In addition price has formed a major Double Top pattern with Bearish Divergence.
Bearish Factors
1) Breakdown of ascending trendline
2) Double top
3) Bearish divergence
Two things need to happen if META is going to make a move higher...
1) Price needs to stay above "Support #1"
2) Price needs to break above the descending trendline (connecting the range highs)
IF price does breaks lower... where do we start looking for long positions?
- Support #2 is a great starting point, however if price makes it to support #2, then I could also see price trading down to fill the gap just below.
- This is where you could enter again to average down your position.
Thanks everyone and best of luck on your trading journey!
