Broadcom: Slide 🛝Broadcom is amusing itself in the playground consisting of the green zone between $648.08 and $577.41 and has lately been lingering mainly at the 78.60%-retracement at $621.54. However, soon, the share should switch over to the red slide leading below the support at $572.10 and into the lower green zone between $531.78 and $465.02 to finish wave 2 in green. This low should then grant the share new upwards momentum. There is a 37% chance, though, that Broadcom could prefer the jungle gym and thus climb above the resistance at $648.50. In that case, we would expect a new high in the form of wave alt.1 in green in the magenta-colored zone between $673.07 and $774.04 first, before the downwards movement can start again.

XLK Technology Sector: Signals of DivergenceAs the growth sector #XLK and #NDX makes lower lows there are spots of divergence displaying, which could pose as some upward impulses this week. In that case it could help to normalize a temporary ‘higher low’ in terms of the holistic outlook.
My TradingView charts (found at #bsdvs23) have mostly been bearish across the board with a few ‘potential’ bullish intraday traders here-and-there based on the broader technical structure. But that is neither here nor there since the major outlook of the trends is what is most important.
All that being said, signs of divergence are now signaling that this area of ‘the higher low’ (big picture) could be setting up for the next leg upward impulse movement in an effort of retesting the lower highs. Granted this will take ‘time and price’ to get to that level and coincidentally coincides with the major earnings session upon us.
And I should point out the bearish side of things as well to ensure the audience has the perspective of both sides here. The downside risk is the markets heading for those March lows. Something I have been very focused on the entire month of April in my YouTube videos, Facebook posts, and postings within TradingView.
All-in-all, divergence is poking its head and that should provide caution to the wind for the bears.
We will keep watch and monitor the Futures Markets as well as the sector spiders and other stocks for turning points going into the economic events this week as I will notate those below.

NASDAQ technical rebound in playAs projected (in previous idea post), the NASDAQ futures spiked down to (almost) 13K and then bounced immediately. This happened on Thursday after the open initiation of the Russia-Ukraine global event. The following day continued the recovery rally.
The Weekly candlestick is now very bullish looking as there formed an intraweek ultra long tail of almost 1K index points. While technicals point to a bearish scenario overall, the NASDAQ was briefly in bear correction territory but recovered. This suggest bullishness.
The Daily candlestick pattern is also rather bullish, with a similar intraday long tail and a near marubozu body engulfing, followed through by another bullish candle that closed the day (and week) at the top. The MACD has a bullish divergence that is just turning upwards in support.
Fractal bullishness here.
The next couple of weeks in March are indicated to be bullish, through to 14.5K, and testing 15.5K. Whether the bullish effort is sustainable through past March remains to be seen.
I am optimistic for the NASDAQ into March, but weary as March wanes into April...
Tech Sector Setting Up for Big Monthly Bearish PullbackWe have a Bearish Engulfing on the Monthly along side with extreme amounts of RSI Bearish Divergence and soon the MACD will be crossing bearishly for the first time since 2018. In the past the monthly bearish crossing has lead to at least a 30% correction back down to the 55 Month SMA.
One last thing to note is that if this Monthly Candle continues down a little further and closes below the open of October 2021, this pattern will be upgraded from just a simple Bearish Engulfing to being a Bullish Three Line Strike visible on the Monthly Timeframe which is a very bearish pattern as One Month would have Erased the gains of the Prior 3 Months and at that point you almost have a Guarantee that the Tech Sector will see a much more Sustained Correction the Downside.
NASDAW Futures Future Sneak PeakThe NQ1! appears to have come to a significant milestone, one that has been repeated 4 times since 2006. And each time, IF you had bought into the NASDAQ / Technology ETF, it would have been significantly wonderful in the next 3-4 years.
It appears that this milestone had just happened again two days ago. Now, what does this mean?
I will leave that to you to decide.
Maybe we can revisit this post next year and go "Wow, the fifth time..."
Btw, the events are coded to present markers when certain combinations of Bollinger Bands are exceeded.
ENJOY!!!
PS. Sneak peak to the projections I do, marking out 19 Jan as a top and the next incoming date is there too... #justsaying

NFT craze hype could send $OCG higher?I heard these are the #NFTs stocks:
$DSS, $MKGI, $PONGF, $SINO, $FDMSF, $CLPS, $YVR, $OCG, $TKAT $ZKIN $WKEY $IMTL $CWRK $MFH $IMTE
That chart on $OCG is TASTY for a 7m float
NFT setup primed to go parabolic. Could see $20+ with such a small float on the NFT craze!
NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are a hot topic in 2021 and investors are looking for companies with exposure to the growing market.
$HOFV a possible NFT play in the future?A former SPAC associated with the NFL is spiking on traders calling it a possible NFT play in the future.
is being circulated as a possible NFT play for investors. The company has a working relationship with the NFL in several areas and one Twitter account called the company the next NFT target play.
“Check this news the angle stands out clear as day,” the tweet read.
An article from NBC Sports was shared as part of the tweet that said the NFL is working on an NFT strategy.
The NFL has told teams they shouldn’t make their own NFT deals without checking with the league first. The article did not mention any names or call out Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment.
“We are aware of the NFTs and working to understand them better,” a Hall of Fame Resorts spokesperson told Benzinga Friday.
NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are a hot topic in 2021 and investors are looking for companies with exposure to the growing market.
The NFL could be looking to replicate the success of NBA Top Shot with its own NFT platform. Hall of Fame Resorts is a partner with the NFL but does not have experience in the blockchain market.
“We know that we have incredible content and are always looking at different ways to monetize our assets,” the Hall of Fame Resorts spokesperson told Benzinga.
Hall of Fame Resorts has a working relationship with the NFL. At this point, the company has no entry in the NFT market, so the rise in shares is based on speculation of a possible partnership.

What are Non-Fungible Tokens?
Non-Fungible Tokens are easily exchangeable and individually unique digital assets which are held on certain blockchains , mainly Ethereum but also others such as Flow, Wax, and many others.
One of the key differences between Cryptocurrencies and Non-Fungible Tokens is that every NFT is completely and not directly interchangeable with any other asset by identity, value, and/or utility .
Every Non-Fungible Token is composed of metadata which gives each one their individuality, these attributes can include size, artist name, scarcity etc. NFT not only exist in a digital space but crucially they can also represent any type of physical asset, acting as a kind of 'digital twin' to anything existing in the real world and enabling the ownership and exchange of physical possessions within digital marketplaces.
the total market cap for project-based NFTs finished was $338 million at the close of 2020. Messari research analyst Mason Nystrom believes this figure could rise to more than $1.3 billion in 2021." The report goes on to indicate, that it is predicting that 2021 is poised for "a new Bull Market in the NFT industry."1

CPST Could Be A Big Winner...*** THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL OR INVESTMENT ADVICE ***
DYOR and don't take my word for anything.
Capstone Turbine Corporation has a lot of potential to make big upward moves. I believe this based on technical analysis as well as some aggregated fundamental analysis.
The Biden administration will necessarily be favorable towards green localized electrical production. It could be expected that the replacement of localized power sources running on diesel will be incentivized via replacement by systems such as those produced by CPST.
The company has made big investments in a market that hasn't fully emerged. There's no way electric vehicles emerge as the only solution for long-haul trucking and supply chain distribution. Hybrid mechanical-electric systems will be needed to make electrically driven big rigs feasible. If the price of gas/oil stays relatively high and/or doesn't fall off, you could expect the CPST business flow to increase as a function of supporting this shift in transportation.
They are very transparent about their critical financial position at the moment. No surprises if the above doesn't happen and they don't make it. Watch the critical zone and be careful if it turns.
Happy Trading!

Crypto Total Market Downtrend Reversal*** THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL OR INVESTMENT ADVICE ***
DYOR and don't take my word for anything.
The overall crypto market downtrend is reversing.
The last market cycle started when Elon Musk announced an over $1.5BB investment into BTC as part of an upcoming strategy at Tesla to start accepting BTC as payment. The upward trend reversed when interest rates climbed and cryptocurrencies hit ATHs. The money moved from tech stocks and crypto as profits were taken. It appears the market has bottomed out and is turning.
Buy the dip and hodl bitches.
