Electronic Arts: Pushing the Right Buttons 🎮Electronic Arts has been pushing the right buttons and has made fine use of our pink trend channel, finishing waves (a) till (e) in violet. Indeed, the course has already made further progress, touching at the support at $109.27. Next, the share should gain even more downwards momentum and drop below this mark to complete wave B in turquoise. Afterwards, we expect Electronic Arts to climb above the resistance at $150.30 to conclude wave C in turquoise as well as wave (B) in red. Subsequently, the course should start a long journey to the south, falling back below $150.30 and below the supports at $109.27 and at $73.91. There, it should enter the green zone between $64.44 and $40.83 to finish wave 2 in green before turning upwards again.

Block: Playing Tag 🙃“You’re it!” Block calls, tapping on the magenta-colored zone and taking off. The share seems to be playing tag and has just caught the magenta-colored zone, finishing wave ii in magenta with one impulsive downwards spike. Next, the course should seek shelter above the resistance at $94.87, thus gaining further upwards momentum. However, there is a 32% chance for Block to lose its drive and to drop below the support at $69.16. In that case, the course should develop wave alt.ii in magenta first before heading southwards, abiding above the support at $51.16 along the way.
Intuit: Trust Your Gut 😊After it had started the ongoing descent so confidently at first, Intuit has been struggling in a sidewards movement. Now, the share should trust its gut and decide or rather intuit – pardon the pun! – to continue its journey to the south. We expect the course to drop below the support at $339.36, where it should complete wave B in green at about $303.29 before taking off again. Alternatively, Intuit could have already finished wave alt.B in green and thus climb above the resistance at $457.94 by now. We rate this alternative scenario with a probability of 38%.
TSLA BULLISH PIERCING CANDLESTICK With the recent release of teslas quarterly reports that we’re better than expected we saw a push to test 180.00 with a slight pullback, depending on feds decision we can see push higher to 300.00. With more manufacturing and infrastructure updates in the upcoming months if positive these could help push price back to retest precious highs.
NFLX - Potential Short Setup Here we are looking at NFLX on the Daily TF…
As you can see, Netflix has broken down from its previous macro support (blue), and retraced back to the scene of the crime. Currently, it is re-testing this very same previous support as newfound resistance.
While I can’t suggest how YOU should trade it, this certainly appears to me as a VERY strong short set up (not financial advice).
We will continue to monitor this chart and see how it reacts to this level. Stay tuned to make sure you don’t miss any timely updates…

NASDAQ bottomed or fall 20% by March?Here is my chart combining channels, trend lines, and waves.
You can see that the NASDAQ has been fighting to stay inside the blue channel since mid-October, but has been trapped under the black channel. If it is going to hold, then this would be a good place. That would keep the blue channel bull rally intact.
However, this week's rejection off the top of the channel is not a great sign. There is still a good possibility that we still need to complete the wave C of the larger ABC correction before this is over. Right now, Wave C stands at a 0.618 fib extension of Wave A which is pretty small. If it goes lower, then a bounce and support at 0.786 seems logical, which is around the peak before the COVID crash. That could be a good long entry.
I would not rule out something closer to the 1.0 level before we are done. If that does come to be, then that takes us down to the red trend line created off the bottoms of the 2018 and 2020 corrections. That is the 9000 range (could overshoot down to 8700) and would be a great place for a big long entry. Anything lower than that, and, well, lets not think about.
AAPL Testing Crucial ZoneHere we are looking at AAPL on the Daily TF…
In this chart, AAPL is testing a crucial zone as resistance, which acted as previous macro support dating back to September of 2020.
As you can see, there is also a downwards sloping resistance forming as well, which it’s testing as well.
In testing its previous macro support as newfound resistance (red) and local resistance (light blue) simultaneously, we can conclude that this test for AAPL is crucial in determining what comes next…
I will continue to develop this test of resistance as the chart develops, and update the idea once it breaks in either direction!
What do you think will happen?
Cheers!
Technical Analysis of Google (NASDAQ:GOOG)Hello guys,
I am sharing with you my analysis of Google.
I think the stock looks pretty cheap at the moment and it is forming a beautiful Double Bottom.
This is further supported by a MACD Bullish cross and upward trending RSI, which is above the 50 line.
Overall I think it has an appealing risk-to-reward opportunity.

Oracle: Sweet Temptation 🔥Oracle is moving dangerously close to the resistance line at $85.58, which would activate our alternative scenario. In that case, the stock would rise further into the green target zone between $85.45 and $92.50 to finish off the grey wave alt.I before sinking back into a correction. Primarily, we expect the course to drop into the green target zone between $72.66 and $63.46 to complete the grey wave II. After completion, we predict Oracle heading North in the longterm.
Google - Bullish Harmonic The tech stocks witnessed deep corrections of over 30% on Nasdaq.
Nasdaq was one of the most underperforming indices in US and the bearish momentum prolongs on the first day of 2023.
The Bullish Harmonic pattern on $Goog confirmed the reversal but today's dip seems an opportunity to go long.
The pattern negates on breach of $80.
Good time to buy TESLA historicallyTesla may have met the support that will be the last of its bear market. Based on the bounce so far on the 329-week SMA and that any price action at or below the 200-week SMA has historically been the best times to invest in TESLA, we can assert it's likely now is a decent time to buy TESLA.
$NDX can move 1500-2000 points lower. $QQQ down. 200ma failingAs company earnings decline and forward guidance becomes pessimistic, Nasdaq 100 has room to go back to 9000-8700. Big tech companies have already started reducing their workforce, and more layoffs may come next year. The 200ma offered support after the first leg down, but now it looks like it might give way. RSI and stochastic are bearish.
Now is a good time to let go of any grip your mind has on the "big tech" stocks of the past ten years and start your list of up and coming tech stocks for the next 10-15 years.
This post is not to create a scare. I am not shouting for a crash. As a 40+ adult who understands much more than the last five yrs of stock market rising - and the Covid QE slingshot - I am offering practical insight into what is possible.
Add JOBY to your watchlist.
NASDAQ MORE DOWNSIDE!I still see downside in 2023, the chart is showing a similar pattern to the DOTCOM BUBBLE.
I just see bear market rallies and some considerable time until we see a major trend reversal.
We have just finished the 2nd BUBBLE which was led by the creation of BITCOIN which was born out of the Financial Crash in 2008. The age of low interest rates are also over and the time of making easy money is over.
This is just for my own trading journey and pure speculation, if you enjoy please like and comment below.

Anatomy of a NASDAQ interim topAn interesting set of events just occurred in the NASDAQ futures. In early November, the NASDAQ (and most market indices) spiked in a bullish rally, only to find a resistance at about 12,000 in mid-November. It then retraced to test the support at 11,560. While it bounced off the support then, there was a momentary spike down to 11,528. This is the significant low for this consolidation range at the top of the short term rally. The bounce brought it to 11830, where a resistance level was failed. This was then followed by a revisit to the consolidation range support (bottom of yellow box).
About an hour ago, a lower low was triggered (red support line) and currently the NASDAQ futures is struggling to keep above the consolidation zone support.
Technical indicators MACD and VolDiv are slightly bearish, boding a more likely breakdown. MACD crossed under, and remains under the zeroline. VolDiv is not uptrending, but below its SMA, and looking for a breakdown below zero line.
Also noted is the green "BD" where it denotes a Break Down of an auto-plotted trendline support.
The price action is a little long to the downside, and has been support hugging. It is likely to have some sort of a rebound, but what happens next depends on whether there is more juice to sustain. A technical rebound is due and appears to be forming up at time of writing. Definitely, is there enough juice to get this to the upper part of the range?
The other thing here is that a decisive breakdown out of the consolidation range is needed and appears to be lining up for the later part of the week. This is invalidated IF a technical rally closes above 11850.
Wait for it...
COINBASE in technical trouble... Noted that Coinbase COIN is in some sort of technical trouble.
Based on downside projections, the downdraft is technically aligned and sound, with a target of 23.36, by mid-December. This is a 50% cut in stock price from last Friday's closing.
An earlier breakdown of the triangle, and the more recent failure of the 2022 support last Friday suggest more downside to follow in the days and weeks ahead.
Heads up...
Bear Market, Bull Market, or Sector Rotation? KNOW THE ROTATION!
What Is Sector Rotation?
Investors are always looking for opportunities to boost returns and reduce risk in their portfolios. One way to do this is by understanding and utilizing sector rotation.
In simple terms, sector rotation is the process of moving money from one sector to another. In order to take advantage of positive market trends investors will want to pay close attention to these rotations. In general, there are two types of market conditions that investors need to be aware of: bull markets and bear markets.
Sector rotation is a strategy that investors use to take advantage of these market conditions. The idea is to rotate your investments into sectors that are doing well in the current market conditions and away from sectors that are not.
For example, in a historical bull market, you would want to be invested in sectors such as technology and healthcare. In a bear market, you would want to be invested in sectors such as utilities and consumer staples.
Sector rotation can be a helpful tool for investors to boost returns and reduce risk. However, it’s important to understand how it works before implementing it in your own portfolio. Keep reading to learn more about sector rotation and some current YTD chart examples of what it looks like.
Lets start with a philosophical question in regards to the market; is there really such thing as a bull and bear market? One could argue that there is not, and the market is in fact a cycle of sector rotations. Liquidity going out one, to another, again and again. Take for example the 4 tickers of the main post image MSFT , NASDAQ:TSLA , NASDAQ:GOOGL , NASDAQ:AAPL - these are considered Tech Stocks (yes TSLA is a tech stock!). YTD performance of all these stocks are in the red. Please take the time and study their trends. To the novice that had a portfolio made up of 80% tech, they would look at this chart and scream BEAR MARKET. But is it? It is impossible for the average trader to tell, but not all that money was "lost" in a bear market. It simply was rotated to defensive sectors. Sure, some money was taken out of the overall system I am sure but logic dictates that the majority of the money just found a new home. Investors in tech in these cases could ride the storm and average down (dollar cost averaging), write call options, or purchase puts (along with many other strats) - aka play a bear market in THAT sector. The terms "bull" and "bear" market are used to describe market conditions where prices are either rising or falling. Some people believe that there is a fundamental difference between the two types of markets, while others believe that they are simply two sides of the same coin. Ultimately, there is no right or wrong answer, and it is up to each individual to decide what they believe.
So where did the Tech money rotate to? For those of you that need only bull markets to trade, find the rotation and follow it. Never marry a stock or sector - money moves fast and is prone to jumping ship when major events happen. Here are 3 charts that show areas that bulls have had success:
EX1: Staples and Consumer; NYSE:HSY , NYSE:MCD , NASDAQ:OLLI , NYSE:WMT
EX2: Energy, Industrial, Insurance; NYSE:KMI , NYSE:CAT , NYSE:OXY , NYSE:ABBV
EX3: Defensive and Insurance; NASDAQ:HON , NYSE:RTX , NYSE:AFL , NYSE:CI
If you take the time and study the charts above you will see that not all is bearish when you know where to look. Looking at these rotations can start to paint a larger picture when studying ETFs or the overall market in a national/global economy. Especially when it comes to finding a fair value area in the middle of a downed market. Recovery off of a bear market should be equitable across multiple sectors. In the current case (today) we see that the rotation into "defensive" stocks (all the stocks mention in EX1, EX2, and EX3). As there is a small pinch of hope that inflation could be slowing, the moves have been liquidity into these defensive sectors - not a sign of a healthy recovery (yet) in my opinion. Right now we are seeing more institutional interest in companies like HSY, MRK, CI, HON and less interest in Energy. Energy is a great sector to look at currently to start to see that shift. We can look at commodities like GOLD and see the increased attention and bullish run it has had recently. Remember, intuitions want to create the largest positions they can , but over time so as not to raise a flag to others.
To find sector rotation:
1) Familiarize yourself with the S&P sector funds like the AMEX:XLF , AMEX:XLP , AMEX:XLE , AMEX:XLU , etc
START LARGE - look at the Monthly, Weekly, and Daily
2) Scan for stocks with rapid price drops and identify sectors that may be hurting
3) Scan for stocks with rapid rising price WITH higher than average volume (preferable increasing volume as well)
4) Visualize the sectors in a heatmap. Size by Volume (Monthly) and Color by Performance (Monthly). Since this is constantly changing, I suggest taking a screen shot of this map every week - this will be the best way to "see" the money rotate.
5) When going through 2-4 consider comparing small and large cap companies as well - as this too can hold its own rotation.
6) Stay on top of news, read read read read. Understand the world around you and rely on change.
7) Utilize Smart Money Concepts. Please visit LUX ALGO's page for this, as he has made a beautiful indicator and strategy based around SMI and institutional order blocks.
8) Conduct an RSI or Stochastic RSI study to identify divergences in OVERBOUGHT or OVERSOLD conditions.
9) VIX VIX VIX - yes we are talking sector rotation and the VIX is an "overall" reflection of the market in whole but looking at areas of the VIX (ie 20 and 45) can give signs of upcoming rotation. Although it may not point where, it may describe when these rotations can occur.
