Whirlpool of DividendsAm I crazy to be looking at a manufacturing play right now considering the tariff trade wars going on? The stock right now has a forward dividend yield of 8.65% at the current price with a technical setup. There are fundamentals around tariffs to consider but that could only be the "reason" the price has come to a great buy.
I set an alert almost a year ago in April 2024 based on a follower of mine liking the stock NYSE:WHR as a dividend play. I suggested that we set the buy alert for the Volume Profile level going back 20 years ago which also incorporated the 2020 COVID low:
That alert his this week and I did some fundamental research on the company. Back in 2018 Whirlpool took a big hit with the first round of China focused tariffs. However, the company responded by focusing on more U.S.-based manufacturing. Its competitors, LG and Samsung have more tariff exposure. Material costs could still present a challenge.
From a technical standpoint I see a major low with volume support that could hold up price.
Volume
Does History Repeat Itself? How Far Can the Nasdaq Fall?Let's examine the current 2025 correction on a logarithmic chart: the price movements show significant similarities to the February 2020 decline. At that time, the global crisis—then driven by COVID-19 panic—fundamentally influenced market movements, while now, trade uncertainties are generated by President Trump's aggressive tariff announcements.
The chart reveals that the Nasdaq is declining steeply, and technical levels play a decisive role: yesterday, the price bounced back from the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. However, it is clear that supporting technical indicators—such as the break of the RSI convergence trend on the days triggering the decline—confirm the downward movement.
In the earlier 2020 decline, massive volume accompanied the initial weeks' movements, while this year's movement is characterized by steadily increasing volume. Nevertheless, the current volume peak falls short of the peak measured in the 2020 week (4.45 million vs. 6.8 million), indicating that the trend may continue with further declines.
Overall, technical analysis—the examination of logarithmic charts, the break of the RSI trend, and volume movements—suggests that the current correction may deepen further, and the Nasdaq's target price can be estimated between 14,500 and 15,000 points.
Observing a similar scenario in history, when global events triggered high volatility, it appears that market reactions now do not differ from past patterns. If the current negative trend continues, a further deepening of the correction is plausible, as the lag in market volume (4.45M vs. 6.8M) indicates that investors have not yet been able to offset the negative sentiment prevailing in the sector.
WTI Crude Oil | Potential Cup Formation with Volume Support.I’m spotting a potential Cup formation on the 30-min chart of WTI Crude Oil (USOILSPC), backed by strong volume profile zones. The price has recently pulled back to a low-volume area and is now consolidating with higher lows forming the right side of the cup.
A break above the $60.60–$60.80 zone could trigger bullish continuation toward $64+, with strong support seen around the $59–$59.30 range (volume shelf).
Setup Details:
• Pattern: Cup (early stage)
• Entry idea: Break & retest above $60.60
• TP: $64.00
• SL: Below $58.90
• Volume profile confirms accumulation near the lows
Watching closely for confirmation before adding more size. This is part of a low-risk entry using a funded account model.

Need clarity on what's most likely to come? I got u!Price has followed my path to a tea (Not exact prices but more of the cycles of price movement)
We will hit 450 on QQQ by Tuesday and Trump is most likely to back peddle on tariffs for select countries.
TARIFFS ARE ONLY MEANT TO REDUCE THE 10 YY FOR TRUMP TO REFINANCE OUR NATIONAL DEBT.
Nothing else.
Please see my black line of what I think price action will do.
Shorting BitcoinBINANCE:BTCUSDT
Bitcoin put a massive Bearish Engulfing Candle yesterday, with high volume, which is very bearish, and now I’m expecting it to continue to decline.
It also tends to follow the US Indices, which are heading lower.
My target is about 70k, maybe even lower.
Good luck to you
BTCUSDT: key pointsI think the price is going to go from here to $82000 and then to $85000. There's liquidity at the $85,000 level, so I expect it to take the liquidity there and try the $82,500s again. But if it doesn't return from $85,000 and breaks directly, it may work as in option 2. this isn't investment advice.
US is going to lose this to ChinaWhilst Trump is playing his full on MAPA (Make America Poor Again) game, there is one candidate who will benefit from the new world order.
US won't be a reliable partner for anyone as long as Trump is talking and pulling the strings, whilst China is in a very good place to simply re-route exports to other nations and avoid the US craziness.
I reckon that this chart will break to the upside, although to trade it we should wait for the breakout confirmation. Once that happens, we can go long in there and let the US cripple on their own with nice tariff phantasies.
S&P 500 to tank to 5,100 pointsPEPPERSTONE:US500
The S&P 500 broke below critical support after Trump announce massive tariffs on everyone, worst than expected. Volume is increasing to the downside, and it looks like the next wave down has already started.
Wave C is supposed to be equal or larger than wave A, and reach the next critical support, which will lead us to 5,100 points in the next couple of weeks.
I heard that net tariffs on China are 54%, does than means that iPhones are going to rise in price 54%?
Maybe it will be reconsidered later, and the market will bounce in the future, but not likely in the short term.
Good luck to you
$540 incoming put trade expiring 4/4 or 4/11
AMEX:SPY
I start these Anchored VWAPs where the volume was the lowest before a major upside or downside.
When I entered this trade $540 expiring 4/4 was at $.5 on 3/27 on Thursday around 9.55am currently $2.06 closing week, however I want to highlight that the $540-$530 would be the major leg down and we might see the $570-$580 levels for first week of June imo.
Note: I am heavily comparing price actions for nowadays with 2022 first half drawdown.
