IBM: Completing a bottom with rising volume ahead of earrningsIBM is completing an intermediate-term bottom with a breakout from a consolidation, rising above the bottom resistance level and prior sideways action before the downtrend last summer. The stock has rising volume which is a positive sign for this run ahead of the earnings report in 2 weeks.
Biogen Inc: Rare Long-Term Buy Opportunity.Biogen has lost over 30% of its value this month. Looking at the monthly chart, we have concluded that this is a rare investment opportunity as the current price is just above its 1M Support Zone.
Historically we see that such an aggressive sell off recently took place in 2015 - 2016 and again the stock managed to recover almost reaching the 390 Resistance again. This pattern may be similar to the one the long term (~10 year) consolidation that took place after the 2000 peak. The price then traded sideways roughly within 17.00 - 71.00, providing a buy opportunity on every major pull back.
We believe such an opportunity is presented now. Every dip near the 180 - 205 Support Zone can be bought with 350 - 390 as the Target Zone.

Amazon (AMZN) to 700 Within 15 Months? Or Blow Off Top?Since my first Amazon analysis, we rallied higher towards a potential double top target, but we met resistance pretty quickly and have begun to drop. There's no need to panic yet, because it seems like the uptrend from 2015 is still intact (in orange). However, if that fails, we may have to head all the way down to our long term log support (in purple), especially if the recent low at 1300 falls. If we follow this descending resistance (in red), this would give us a bottom target near 700 by June, 2020. Total speculation though.
A correction is needed in the tech space, as many of these stocks have risen too high for too long. This sort of growth is unsustainable, and we're already seeing some warning signs (jobs waning and earnings not as stellar as they expected). I've already talked at length about why I think the tech bubble needs to pop in my other analyses, so I won't write more about it here.
In any case, if we happen to move up from here, we might have a blow off to the top of the channel. As you can see, that would take us above 2000.
In sum, trading setups would be -
SHORT breakdown of 1300 - target 700
LONG the breakout towards 2200 (a little more risky, but a possible scenario nonetheless).
Zoomed Out:
This is not financial advice. This is for future reference and speculative purposes only. I don't hold any positions in the stock market at this time. Previous AMZN chart linked at bottom.

What is coming next?Upon Friday close, there is now a standoff between bulls and bears.
Pro:
- Revert to dovish monetary policy
- Lack of alternative assets to be invested in
- Share buybacks are still propping up the market
- Trend is very strong
- Stock market manipulation is supported by banks and governments by any means.
Neutral:
- Institutional investors have shied away from this rally so far.
- Completion of trade deal is priced into the market.
Contra
- Abysmal economic news
- Debt bubble (car and student loans) is close to burst
- Central banks are unable to fight the increasing risk of stagflation or to stimulate economic growth.
- Stocks in general are highly priced.
- Trump's governance is facing more and more controversies (e.g. bragging about China trade deal weakens USA position in negotiations).
FB: Buybacks Buoy Stock but Privacy Issues Remain a ProblemFacebook, having been pressured by the European authorities for numerous privacy violations and illegal use of its customers’ personal information, is trying to mitigate the risk of criminal charges as well as monopoly charges. Mark Zuckerberg has announced that FB is concerned with the privacy of its customers. He claims, without any details or explanations, that the platform will be more focused on privacy. He is also making some features specific to certain modes of communication.
All of this will impact FB’s stock price. Currently FB has some buybacks in play this year. The intermediate term bottom formation is not completed, and volume is very low. The Institutional Holdings Percentage has declined and even with the recent gap up, the stock has plenty of work to do to create strong momentum energy to move it up further. The changes FB is making may or may not make its customer base happy. That remains to be seen. It also is likely to impact revenues growth.
MSFT Reaches My Double Top Target...Now What? Just a brief analysis. There is a possibility that the market will rally higher and that we will see a blow off top, but the DJI has found pretty substantial resistance again above 26000 so we may be about to see the true initial drop of an incoming recession. The December drop was merely the start, and subsequent rally was constructed so that people have another chance to protect their capital.
In my last MSFT chart, I suggested there was a possibility for a double top if the recent low couldn't be taken out by the bears. I provided the target for this second top (somewhere in the 110-112 area). If we are to follow this setup, we should see a big drop soon. However, if we build support here and move higher, this idea will be invalidated. Looking at the log chart, once the purple uptrend is broken, we will probably see a much deeper selloff. As you can see, there are some fairly low targets.
Things don't necessarily have to play out this way, but I think we need to see some growth slow down, so we can deal with bigger issues as a society (like the environment, for instance).
Not financial advice. This is my opinion based on what I'm seeing in the market.

RIOT - Waiting to test support.RIOT made a big move up with good volume and then started to retrace. I'm looking for a 50% retrace to 3.06 or 61.8% to 2.82, both of which line up with previous support/resistance levels. 2.50 is also in the cards with possible support from the 26 and 50 EMAs. A bounce from any of these levels should send us back toward the 4.00 range. Breaking that level means its a long way down.
Forecast for NQ this weekThe trend looks very bullish clearing and holding above the 6845 level that I covered in my YouTube Video here: youtu.be . The 18 day sma is above the 50 day sma, signaling the trend is up.
I'm expecting a push towards the 7000 level (2/3 back from the ATH and reversal from the sell off) this week as long as we hold the 6775-6800 area. Might overshoot to the 200 day sma which is ~7050.
Of course always let price discovery be your guide :-).
What history tells us ...Looking back in history bad things happened whenever 100 EMA crosses down through the 200 EMA. Major correction is likely gonna be ahead. During the century such a situation was observed 21 times, and in 20 cases it triggered a big sell-off.
The reversal may likely happen below the 200 EMA, but compared to the situation in 2015 price could also continue to rally above 200 EMA, will then consolidate and eventually plunge heavily.
I stay focused to enter my bearish position. Just for the time being, I am cautious and trade a small long position here.
Big resistance ahead (trend line, 200 EMA + 63.8% Fibonacci retracement)

The Tech Bubble May Be Over - GOOGLE Short!This will be a quick analysis. I did a much larger analysis of where I think the economy is going in my Dow Jones post (link at bottom). This is just an idea to illustrate the tech bubble and why we could have some pretty severe downside if this materializes. This is NOT the log chart, but Google hasn't been around that long, so it's not really necessary to use. Major supports are in green. As you can see, we're forming a pretty large head and shoulders amidst a double-top, which is a pretty strong sell signal. The weekly RSI looks pretty oversold, so we could rally up to the high 1100 area first to form a larger right shoulder before dropping. I guess we'll see. We could easily see a 50% decline from current prices though. If we do get down to the $500 zone, I will re-evaluate to gauge the market at the time.
Setup:
Short Below 1000 - Stop loss above 1100
Close around 920
Reopen Short below 920 to target the low 500 zone.
This is not investment advice, and I am not a qualified financial advisor. This is just a potential setup I'm looking at for fun, and to see how it plays out.

Apple (AAPL) Has Probably Plateaued I'm doing this main chart using the log scale because it makes it so obvious that growth is slowing down. We just got rejected hard off the resistance that has held us since the 80's! We're also in a giant rising wedge, and are JUST touching the bottom of it right at this very moment (actually, I'm being generous with my line. In truth, we've broken down already). Now, I don't think Apple will disappear. That's not what this analysis is about. As I've mentioned recently, I think many tech stocks have plateaued. Some may continue higher eventually, but Apple most likely will not grow much. Why? I think the world's population has peaked, and people's interest in technology has also peaked. People who speculated on Apple have also walked out with massive profits. Just look at that graph! In my opinion, and I know it's controversial, there is no reason for Apple to continue to grow at an astronomical rate. As you can see, growth has clearly reached a point that it cannot sustain and it will likely flatline, or experience a long period of slow growth. Their tech has simply become a part of our daily lives. It's almost part of our biology at this point. Why speculate on it anymore? I argue that by becoming so valuable, it has actually set the stage for its own demise. I don't know if this makes any sense to you. By demise I mean stagnation, basically.
Anyway, where Apple flatlines is anyone's guess. We have some possibilities on this chart (green zones). It could be fairly near current prices (in the $80-100 area). Or it could be in the $50 zone. That seems more likely to me, given the size of the tech bubble.
I think people will continue to use Apple products every day, so I don't see it really falling off a cliff permanently. It's also dropped pretty substantially from it's all-time-high already. As I mentioned in my DJI analysis, I was pretty sure it would not be able to sustain above the $1 Trillion market cap. I was surprised that it held up there as long as it did, to be honest. A lot of people out there will keep on harping about investing and how everyone should still hold Apple stock in their portfolio. I do not think there is much upside anymore. It might EVENTUALLY gain back a good amount of what it's lost since the ATH, but I doubt it'll reach beyond $1 Trillion again. This is just my view, though. I could be totally wrong. I just have a feeling about it though.
I am not a professional financial advisor, and this is not financial advice.

Amazon (AMZN) Double Top or Straight Drop?If you read my DJI analysis, you'll know that I am bearish on the stock market right now, but particularly tech stocks. I've been bearish since AAPL was trading at $230 and as soon as it hit the $1 Trillion market cap. There's just not enough However, the market is still showing signs that buyers haven't given up, and the majority still seems to be bullish, at least in terms of retail traders. We might end up seeing a big double top playing out in some of these tech stocks. In AMZN, this means if we break out decisively above 1550, we may see a rise up towards 1800 before the full bubble pop. I expect the bottom of the bear market for AMZN to be anywhere between $500 and $600, but obviously this view will change, depending on market conditions. On the logarithmic chart, we have decent support near the $750 area (shown below), but on the linear chart we can see that this is forming a classic bubble structure. Remember, people buying AMZN during the 2008 crash made close to 60x profits at the recent top around 2000. Pretty insane. Even at current prices, the profits for these people are astronomical.
Log Chart with potential bearish targets (red X's)
If we break down beneath the orange steep rising trendline and below the 1300 price point, we will likely see a steep selloff, regardless of whether or not a second top happens.
Potential setups are as follows:
BUY 1550-1600
SELL 1800/high 1700
SHORT Break below the orange line or 1300.
More short-term: SHORT break below 1500, with a target between 1300 and 1350.
This is not financial advice, and I'm not a professional. This is a setup I'm looking at, and I'm curious to see if it plays out. Interesting times ahead indeed! Good luck!

A Look at QQQ Over the Long TrendI am a big believer in big tech and it's disruption over the long term, but the recent action in the stock market has made me take a step back and study how the QQQ index has performed over the longer term. I have plotted the chart dating back to the 2009 bottom and there seems to be a clear uptrend since then. We checked back to that uptrend line a few times and have continued moving higher. Recent action in the stock market seems to be forming a top formation, which is a very bearish indicator. We might be getting into a head and shoulders pattern over the short term and I will make the bet that we break that head and shoulder pattern and fall into the longer term uptrend of the QQQ's. I will look for some support at the 159 and hope that holds for some sideways movement in the short term.

Wirecard is going southNice trend channel to the downside that supports the bearish sentiment.
Next stop is the 200 EMA support zone.
DANGER: Amazon and FANGS could be in trouble. Amazon has just crossed $1 Trillion in market value.
This is without doubt a parabolic expansion. History has shown us that parabolic charts like this suffer a significant correction. Do not expect me to say when - as I have no crystal ball.
Tech stocks have been propping up Wall Streets expansion. But there is a problem. The stock markets in the US and around the world are being eroded in value. Google is your friend. Around the globe there is market contraction due to trade wars and international political tensions.
Reliable research shows that value of stocks below the top 30 is falling in average. This is a danger signal.
The traditional 'news' is not your friend. From day to day we hear different news casts. These people are there to sell their news - that's all. Dig deeper. The world is in trouble!
Amazon cannot fight and win over the whole world. It just ain't that big or powerful.
Tech stocks have been living on borrowed time and feeding frenzies. If Amazon goes south, and the rest of tech goes south, expect to see major corrections on Wall Street.
Those looking to short the stock markets may wish to look for trend changes on the 4H - 6H time frames and with Amazon.
