MICROSTRATEGY Can $2000 be its next High?Microstrategy (MSTR) followed the exact trading pattern we suggested on our last analysis (December 27 2024, see chart below) as it made its technical correction December through March and rebounded aggressively in April: Back then we called this a shift to a new paradigm and is no different than the April 1999 bounce than led to the eventual massive rally that made the Dotcom Bubble burst. Since the recent All Time High (ATH) broke above the (blue) 23-year Channel Up, we applied the Fibonacci Channel levels all the way from its March 2000 Dotcom High. The fractal we mentioned before shows that the stock's next Target, and possibly this Cycle's High, can be on the 0.618 Fib at $2000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

I sent out a message premarket at the very beginning of the move and it already had tens of millions of shares volume at that time. Then the next day it got to 241 million shares, you just don't see stuff like that in regular stocks. Awesome profits made along the way, can't wait for a new catch like that! NASDAQ:ASST

Dow Jones Correction in May 2025: Key DriversDow Jones Correction in May 2025: Key Drivers Summary: The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) is under pressure and likely headed for a correction due to the Federal Reserve’s tight monetary policy, trade uncertainty from Trump’s tariffs, and weak economic data. Key Drivers: ➖ Federal Reserve Policy: At the May 6–7 meeting, the Fed is expected to maintain the 4.25–4.5% interest rate due to persistent inflation (2.7% forecast for 2025) and a robust labor market (+177K jobs in April). This dampens hopes for rate cuts, pressuring stocks. ➖ Trump’s Tariffs: New tariffs raise inflation risks and recession fears, reducing the appeal of Dow Jones constituents like Caterpillar and Walmart. ➖ Weak GDP and Global Volatility: A 0.3% GDP contraction in Q1 2025 and declines in Asian markets (1.6–1.8%) signal global instability. ➖ Technical Indicators: DIA trades below its 200-day moving average (~420 USD), with fewer stocks above this level (down from 76% to 55% since January), indicating market weakness. ➖ Outlook: Analysts (Long Forecast) predict volatility, with a potential drop to 38,958 in May, despite an average forecast of 43,370 by month-end. Historically, corrections occur every 1.88 years, and current conditions (tariffs, inflation, GDP) heighten the likelihood of a 10–15% decline. Target: My downside target for the Dow Jones is 38,555.00. Current factors and historical trends strongly suggest a near-term correction. Idea for S&P 500:

BTC – One last pushmarket context and structure This BTCUSDT 4-hour chart from BYBIT provides a broader perspective on BTC’s ongoing uptrend, emphasizing the role of fair value gaps in guiding price behavior. After a prolonged period of sideways action and consolidation, BTC initiates a sharp bullish impulse that breaks previous structure and introduces fresh momentum into the market. Each leg higher is followed by a corrective phase, during which multiple fair value gaps (FVGs) are formed. These FVGs serve as structural inefficiencies left by aggressive buying pressure and outline key zones of interest for future price interaction. fair value gaps and institutional demand The chart identifies three key FVGs that have influenced BTC’s price action. The lowest FVG, created during the initial breakout below the 89,000 zone, is the origin of this current bullish leg and reflects strong institutional involvement. The mid-level FVG, created as BTC pushed through the 94,000–96,000 region, marks another significant shift in order flow. The most recent FVG, created just prior to the most recent impulse, lies just beneath the 98,000 level and represents a more immediate zone of demand. Price is currently trading above this uppermost FVG, indicating that it may act as a reaccumulation zone if price retraces. liquidity dynamics and continuation thesis The projection drawn on the chart suggests a short-term retracement back into the upper FVG before a potential continuation higher. This idea is rooted in the expectation that institutional participants will revisit unfilled orders left within the FVG before driving price upward toward new liquidity pools. The light blue shaded zone indicates the potential target range for this continuation. The market has consistently respected prior FVGs, confirming their role as reliable demand zones and reinforcing the current bullish bias. price behavior and structural clarity BTC’s price action on this timeframe is characterized by impulse–correction cycles with clearly defined inefficiencies. Each impulse leaves behind an FVG, which is either fully or partially mitigated during pullbacks. The most recent bullish leg has created an unmitigated FVG directly beneath current price, suggesting that if a retracement occurs, it is likely to interact with this gap before continuing the upward trajectory. This behavioral pattern of clean imbalances followed by targeted mitigation is a strong indicator of organized institutional involvement in the market. interpretation and tactical insight The chart outlines a strategic approach to navigating BTC’s current bullish structure. Rather than entering impulsively, the analysis encourages waiting for price to retrace into identified imbalance zones where the probability of sustained movement is higher. Fair value gaps provide a roadmap for understanding where price is likely to react and continue. In this case, if BTC revisits the nearest FVG and holds that level, it sets the stage for continuation toward the 101,000–102,000 zone, in line with the drawn projection. The setup remains aligned with smart money trading methodology, where price is guided by liquidity and imbalance mechanics.

From this point, there is potential for an upward move.Gold (XAUUSD) Analysis Recently, we’ve seen Gold consistently respecting Fair Value Gaps (FVG). Whenever a bullish FVG forms, price tends to just touch it before moving upward. Similarly, when a bearish FVG appears, the market tends to reject from that point. Interestingly, we also observed that the market has cleared previously built liquidity right as it tapped the FVG — including both buy-side and sell-side liquidity. Currently, after dropping from a bearish FVG, price is rebounding from a bullish FVG. From this point, there is potential for an upward move, with a target around $3375. A potential entry zone lies between $3302 and $3280. It's important to watch the market closely and, as always, do your own research (DYOR)!

Uptrend Stock / Swing and Run Trend / SE (NYSE)Uptrend Stock / Swing and Run Trend SE (NYSE) Fundamental Sea Limited operates in three highly attractive business segments: Sea Money – The company’s digital financial services arm offers consumer and SME lending, mobile wallets, and payment processing services. Shopee – The largest e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, with strong market presence and growth. Garena – The company’s digital entertainment division, providing access to popular mobile and PC games. It also promotes eSports. Garena has developed its own successful game titles such as Free Fire, a globally popular battle royale game. Sea Limited's key strength lies in its integrated platform that combines e-commerce, digital finance, and digital entertainment under one umbrella. This synergy allows the company to cross-leverage its customer base—for example, using Shopee users to promote Sea Money's financial services. Technical The price has been forming accumulation patterns at the bottom and gradually rallying upwards. It’s showing a sideways-up structure, where the price bases sideways and then continues to rally upward in steps. This setup allows for buy-the-dip opportunities using an indicator called Regression Trend to identify the trading channel. For swing trading, one could buy on dips near the lower support band and sell at resistance on the upper band. As shown in the chart (with circles marked), I’ve been buying on dips along the way. In the most recent phase, you can consider buying around $139. If the price breaks out, the next support levels to watch would be around $143 and $147. Target prices: First target: $150 Next targets: $160 and $170 Stop Loss: If the price drops below $120 and breaks the price structure, that would be the stop level. As the quarterly earnings announcement approaches, the price is rallying in anticipation, and it's showing strong momentum within an uptrend—very positive sign.

TESLA Is a $600 price tag a pipe dream?Tesla (TSLA) is seeing a steady recovery from the April 21 2025 Low, which has been a Quadruple Bottom, and has found itself consolidating the last 10 days within the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) and the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line). The 2.5 year pattern is a Channel Up and this Quadruple Bottom took place exactly on its 0.236 Fibonacci level, with a 1D RSI sequence that resembles the Bullish Divergence of its previous bottom on April 22 2024. The similarities don't stop there as the Bearish Legs that led to those bottoms have almost been identical (-53.88% and -56.37% respectively). As a result we can technically assume that the current Bullish Leg that will be confirmed with a break above the 1D MA200, will be symmetrical to the previous one, which made a Higher High on the 1.618 Fibonacci extension from the bottom. That is now at $823 but falls outside of the 2.5-year Channel Up, so our long-term Target for the end of the year is $600, which is right at the top of the pattern. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

BTC – Liquidity Sweep, Fair Value Gap Reactions & Potential LongMarket context and structure This BTCUSDT 1-hour chart from BYBIT illustrates a methodical transition from a phase of consolidation to bullish expansion, guided by smart money principles. Price initially consolidates beneath a well-defined resistance level, with an Imbalance Fair Value Gap (IFVG) forming inside the range. This IFVG signals an inefficient zone where institutional players may be positioned. The eventual breakout above this range indicates a structural shift and the beginning of a directional move, setting the stage for further bullish development. Break of structure and liquidity sweep Following the breakout, BTC sweeps the buy-side liquidity resting above a prior swing high. This liquidity grab is a common maneuver in smart money trading, designed to trigger stop orders and breakout entries to facilitate larger institutional fills. The aggressive price movement results in the creation of several Fair Value Gaps (FVGs), which are regions where price moved with such momentum that no overlap between candles occurred. These FVGs are crucial areas of interest where future re-entries or continuations might originate. Fair value gaps and demand zones The chart highlights multiple FVGs formed during the bullish impulse. The uppermost FVG, located just below the most recent liquidity sweep, acts as a shallow retracement zone and has already been partially mitigated. A mid-range FVG extends further down, providing a secondary support layer within the current price structure. The largest and deepest FVG lies closer to the breakout origin and represents a significant unfilled demand zone. These FVGs help to outline institutional footprints, revealing where unfulfilled orders may still reside and where price might return to rebalance. Re-entry strategy and projection An ideal re-entry area is labeled “Entry at IFVG,” situated near the recently swept liquidity. The projection suggests that price may retrace slightly into this IFVG, consolidate, and then continue its upward trajectory. This anticipated movement reflects a bullish continuation pattern rooted in the idea of reaccumulation, where price revisits areas of imbalance before pushing higher. The visual path drawn on the chart captures this idea, showing a measured retracement followed by a continuation of the trend. Interpretation and tactical bias The overall structure and price behavior support a smart money-based bullish outlook. The clean break of structure, the successful sweep of liquidity, and the presence of multiple fair value gaps provide a foundation for continued upside potential. Price respecting these imbalance zones on pullbacks reinforces demand and highlights ongoing institutional involvement. This setup encourages a patient, context-aware approach to trading, focusing on inefficiencies, order flow, and the narrative of price rather than arbitrary indicators.

Alphabet (GOOGL) Shares Drop Over 7% in a Single DayAlphabet (GOOGL) Shares Drop Over 7% in a Single Day According to the Alphabet (GOOGL) stock chart, yesterday’s main trading session opened around $163.70 but then saw a sharp decline, hitting an intraday low of approximately $148 per share. By the close, bulls managed to recover only a small portion of the losses. As a result, Alphabet (GOOGL) shares fell by more than 7% during the session – marking the worst performance among the S&P 500 constituents (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen). Why Did GOOGL Shares Fall? The drop followed remarks by Eddy Cue, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services, who: → noted a decline in search traffic on Safari; → revealed plans to expand Safari’s search capabilities using artificial intelligence. These developments heightened concerns over Google’s dominance in search and its advertising revenue. According to media reports, analysts are warning of rising competition from AI-powered search platforms such as OpenAI, Grok, and Perplexity. Technical Analysis of Alphabet (GOOGL) Shares In our 23 April analysis, we identified a descending price channel and emphasised the psychological significance of the $150 level, which had served as a key support in 2024. Since then, bulls showed confidence by pushing the price above the red channel. In addition, the chart has begun to outline a potential ascending trend channel (marked in blue). However, yesterday’s statement from competitors shifts the outlook. The current GOOGL stock price is positioned at the lower boundary of the blue channel – which could act as support, reinforced by the psychological $150 level. On the other hand, a bearish breakout below this area may revive the downtrend that began in February, potentially paving the way for a test of this year’s lows.

What Does Lump Sum Investing Mean for Investors and Traders?What Does Lump Sum Investing Mean for Investors and Traders? Lump sum investing is when an investor or trader commits a significant amount of capital to the market in one go rather than spreading it over time. This approach is believed to provide strong long-term returns but also comes with risks, particularly in volatile markets. This article explores how lump sum investing works, why investors and traders use it, potential risks, and strategies to manage exposure in different market conditions. What Is Lump Sum Investing? Lump sum investing is when an investor puts a significant amount of capital into the market at once, rather than spreading it over time. This approach is common when someone receives a windfall—such as an inheritance, bonus, or proceeds from closing an effective position—and decides to invest the full amount immediately. Unlike dollar-cost averaging (DCA), which involves dividing an investment into smaller, regular parts, lump sum investing seeks to maximise market exposure from day one. The key argument of investors is that markets tend to rise over time. By investing upfront, capital has more time to grow, rather than sitting on the sidelines waiting to be deployed. Lump sum investing isn’t limited to equities. It applies across asset classes, including forex, commodities, and fixed income. A trader taking a large position in a currency pair based on a strong technical setup is, in effect, making a lump sum investment—allocating its capital at once rather than scaling in gradually. Institutional investors also use lump sum strategies, particularly when allocating large amounts into funds or rebalancing portfolios. However, while this method is believed to have strong long-term potential, it exposes investors and traders to market volatility, making risk management a key consideration. Why Some Investors and Traders Use Lump Sum Investing Lump sum investing is often used because it puts capital to work immediately, giving it more time to grow. Historical market data supports this approach—studies, including research from Vanguard, have claimed that potential returns are higher in lump sum vs dollar-cost averaging in most market conditions. This is because markets tend to rise over the long term, and waiting to invest can mean missing out on early gains. Long-term investors typically deploy lump sums when they have high conviction in an asset or when a large amount of capital becomes available. For example, a fund manager rebalancing a portfolio or an individual investing an inheritance may decide to allocate the full amount upfront rather than spreading it out. In Trading Traders use lump sum investing differently. While some may use an approach similar to dollar-cost averaging and scale into a position, most traders will deploy capital when they see a high-probability setup. For instance, instead of spreading 1% risk across several trades, they will typically open a position with the entire 1% all at once. Institutional investors also use lump sum strategies when making block trades or adjusting asset allocations. For example, a pension fund investing in equities after a market downturn may deploy capital in one move to take advantage of lower prices. However, investing a lump sum of money isn’t just about maximising potential returns—it also involves risk, particularly in volatile markets. The next section explores the potential downsides of this approach. Potential Risks of Lump Sum Investing Lump sum investing comes with risks—particularly in volatile markets. The decision to invest everything at once means full exposure from day one, which can work against investors if the market moves against them after deployment. Some key risks to consider include: Market Timing Risk Investing a lump sum relies on deploying capital at a single point in time, making it sensitive to short-term market fluctuations. If an investor enters at a peak—such as before the 2008 financial crisis or the early 2022 market downturn—they could face an immediate drawdown. While long-term investors may recover, traders working on shorter timeframes have less room to absorb losses. Volatility and Psychological Impact Markets rarely move in a straight line. Lump sum investments can see rapid swings in value, which can be difficult for some investors to handle. Seeing a portfolio drop sharply after investing can lead to emotional decisions, such as panic selling or deviating from an original strategy. Traders face a similar issue when entering a full position—sudden volatility can trigger stop losses or force them to exit prematurely. Liquidity Risk For traders, placing a large order in a low-liquidity market can result in slippage, where the trade executes at a worse price than expected. This is especially relevant in forex, small-cap stocks, and commodities with lower trading volume. How Lump Sum Investing Performs in Different Market Conditions Market conditions play a major role in how lump sum investing performs. While historical data suggests it often outperforms spreading investments over time, short-term results can vary significantly depending on the broader trend. Bull Markets Lump sum investing tends to perform well in sustained uptrends. Since markets generally rise over time, deploying capital early allows one to take advantage of long-term growth. Research from Vanguard found that in about 68% of historical periods, lump sum investing outperformed dollar-cost averaging because assets had more time in the market. A strong bull market—like the one from 2009 to 2021—allowed lump sum investors to see considerable gains over time. Bear Markets Investing a lump sum just before a downturn exposes capital to immediate losses. For instance, an investor who entered the market in late 2007 would have faced steep drawdowns during the 2008 crash. Recovery took years, depending on the assets involved. Although CFD traders can trade in rising and falling markets, the main challenge is to determine a trend reversal and avoid taking a full position just before it happens. Sideways Markets When prices move within a range without a clear trend, lump sum investing can be less effective. Investors may see stagnant returns if an asset moves sideways for extended periods, such as during the early 2000s. Traders in choppy markets often break positions into multiple entries to manage risk, rather than committing full capital at once. Strategies to Potentially Reduce Risk with Lump Sum Investing Lump sum investing involves full market exposure from the start, which means risk management plays a key role in avoiding unnecessary drawdowns. Understanding how to invest a lump sum of money wisely can help investors and traders potentially manage downside risks. Assess Market Conditions Deploying capital blindly can lead to poor outcomes. Investors often analyse valuations, interest rate trends, and macroeconomic factors before making large allocations. For traders, technical indicators such as support and resistance levels, moving averages, and momentum indicators help assess whether market conditions favour a full-position entry. Diversification Across Assets and Sectors One key concept in understanding how to invest a lump sum is diversification. Since allocating a lump sum to a single asset increases exposure to its price movements, some investors spread capital across multiple stocks, asset classes, or geographies to reduce concentration risk. A lump sum investment split between equities, bonds, and commodities can smooth out volatility, particularly in uncertain markets. Hedging Strategies Once they’ve decided what to do with a lump sum of money, some investors and traders hedge their positions. Opening opposite positions in correlated assets, trading stock pairs, or diversifying exposure across sectors in index trading can act as protection against downside moves, particularly in uncertain or high-volatility environments. Position Sizing Adjustments Traders concerned about volatility sometimes split a lump sum trade into staggered entries, adjusting size based on price action. This approach provides flexibility if market conditions shift unexpectedly. The Bottom Line Lump sum investing is a popular strategy among investors and traders, offering full market exposure from the start. While it has its advantages, managing risk is crucial, especially in volatile conditions. FAQ What Is Lump Sum Investment? Lump sum investment is when an investor places a large amount of capital into an asset or market all at once instead of spreading purchases over time. This approach is common after receiving an inheritance, bonus, or proceeds from an asset sale. It provides immediate market exposure, which can be advantageous in rising markets but also increases the risk of short-term volatility. What Is a Lump Sum Trading Strategy? A lump sum trading strategy entails entering a trade with the entire position size in a single transaction, rather than gradually scaling in. Traders often use this approach when they have strong convictions in a setup. While it maximises potential returns if the market moves favourably, it also increases exposure to short-term price swings. Is It Better to Invest Lump Sum or DCA? Lump sum investing has historically outperformed dollar-cost averaging (DCA) in most market conditions because capital is exposed to growth sooner. However, DCA helps manage timing risk by spreading capital over time, making it a common choice for investors concerned about short-term market fluctuations. What Are the Disadvantages of Lump Sum Investing? The main risk is market timing—investing at a peak can lead to immediate losses. Lump sum investors also face higher short-term volatility, which can be psychologically challenging. In low-liquidity markets, executing large trades at once may lead to slippage, affecting execution prices. This article represents the opinion of the Companies operating under the FXOpen brand only.

NVIDIA Corporation: Bullish ConsolidationThe NVDA stock is facing resistance at the 0.5 Fib. extension level. This resistance was met after a higher low and above 0.618 Fib. While this is a confirmed resistance zone, market conditions are bullish. The RSI is now above 50. It is at its highest on a rise since late January earlier this year. Local resistance on the RSI has been broken and this oscillator is trading straight up. This is a positive and strong signal. Here is the chart: The yellow horizontal line is the local resistance which has been broken. On a drop, this same line would now work as support. A "magic" line I should say. :D It is magical because it helps us predict the future with a high level of accuracy and certainty; so far so good. These dynamics: The higher low, the small stop at resistance, the bullish RSI and overall bullish market conditions are all part of a bullish consolidation period. Let me break it down for you; the market will continue to consolidate for a while, for as long as it needs, before moving higher to hit a new high. The conditions revealed by this chart setup is that the low that was hit 7-April remains the bottom. The market can shake, NVDA can go down, it can go up but this low will never be challenged, you can set your stop-loss below it. Any short-term movements against you is just noise. Wait patiently and eventually it will grow. If you have any questions leave a comment it will be my pleasure to answer. Thank you for reading again. See you tomorrow, or the next day, or yesterday-more again. Make sure to follow. My main focus is Cryptocurrency but I also do the SPX, NVDA and TSLA. (And sometimes Gold which is bearish now.) Namaste.
