Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed with a sharp surge following news of a possible delay in Trump’s tariff implementation. A 12% single-day rally on the daily chart is unprecedented — it was an extraordinary rise. On the daily chart, the 20-day moving average is acting as resistance, and to fully fill the April 3rd gap-down, the index would need to rise to around 19,750. If the Nasdaq continues to climb and fills that gap, a potential pullback should be anticipated. Although the MACD has turned sharply upward in a V-shape, it hasn't fully broken above the Signal line yet. Given the rapidly changing global conditions, the possibility of a reversal still exists. However, since the 90-day tariff delay has been confirmed, the market may be entering a phase of relative stability. On the weekly chart, we see a sharp rebound that has brought the index up to the 5-week moving average. Both the Nasdaq and the VIX suggest that today could be a range-bound (sideways) session, so it's better to set wider trading ranges and adopt a box-range trading strategy. On the 240-minute chart, a double bottom pattern has formed, with the MACD bouncing off the Signal line and rising again. The MACD is trending upward, but the Signal line remains below the zero line, which means a short-term pullback could still occur. Overall, it is advisable to use a buy-low, sell-high approach, with more upside potential still open. Also, today’s CPI report is scheduled, so please be mindful of increased volatility around the data release. Crude Oil Crude oil rebounded sharply from the $55 level, showing an impressive 12% range between high and low. However, the sell signal remains active. The price has broken above the 5-day moving average and entered a box range between the 5- and 10-day MAs, suggesting that a moving average-based box strategy would be effective. On the weekly chart, oil has not yet reached the 5-week MA, so there’s still room up to the $65 level, which has historically served as strong resistance. Around that area, it might be more effective to consider short positions. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD showed signs of a third wave down, but failed to make a new low — signaling bullish divergence. A head-and-shoulders inverse pattern may be forming, with the right shoulder potentially developing around the $59–$60 zone. Overall, the strategy should remain range-based, with some more room to the upside. Gold Gold also closed sharply higher, benefiting from the tariff delay news. On the daily chart, the price closed higher, giving the illusion of a support bounce off the lower Bollinger Band, as that band is rising. The MACD remains above the zero line, so there’s still room for a retest of the Signal line, but given the current gap between MACD and Signal, the price needs to either rise further or move sideways to bring the MACD closer and potentially break above the Signal line. If it fails to rise from here, the MACD may turn down again, so avoid chasing the price upward. Like Nasdaq and oil, gold is heavily influenced by global developments, so stay updated on the geopolitical landscape. On the 240-minute chart, gold formed a triple bottom around the 2,980 level and then rebounded strongly. The MACD is trending upward and pulling the Signal line along with it, but resistance around the 3,130 level remains significant. Gold may see increased volatility from today’s CPI report and tomorrow’s PPI release, so stay alert. Market Summary The market has been showing signs of irrational behavior. Investor sentiment is extremely volatile and driven more by emotion than logic. In times like this, it’s more important than ever to stick to the basics, shorten trade duration, cut back on risk, and trade with discipline. The more you chase after gains, the more likely your trades will be swept away by market turbulence. Warren Buffett is considered a legend in the financial markets precisely because he has always stuck to fundamental principles. Likewise, it is crucial to establish and stick to your own trading principles to survive in the markets. If you haven’t yet experienced the kind of volatility we saw during the Trump era or the pandemic, this is a time to be especially cautious and defensive in your approach.

Are getting strong 4 long lol??✅ Summary of Top-Down Analysis: 🟢 Daily (Macro Bias): Bias: Neutral → Leaning Bullish Context: MACD and price both made lower lows (convergence = no divergence, but momentum weakening). Price hit strong support at 16,457. Bullish close post-FOMC + macro catalyst (Trump’s tariff changes) = positive sentiment. Key note: China-specific tariff at 125% could inject volatility, possibly sector-specific. 🟠 4HR: Bias: Bullish Confluence: Higher high in price and MACD = bullish momentum confirmed. Price reclaimed structure after failed low. Approaching last week's POC → possible liquidity grab + continuation. 4HR bullish imbalance could be a key reaction zone (support). 🔴 1HR: Bias: Bullish Context: Clear bullish structure + MACD higher high. Aligned with 4HR bullish flow = continuation potential. 🔵 15min: Bias: Bullish Micro Context: Structure and MACD aligned → price above previous NY POC = showing strength into next session. May look to use NY POC or VWAP pullbacks for entry. 🎯 Gameplan Suggestions: Scenario 1 – Continuation Entry: Look for pullbacks into 4HR imbalance zone or 15m demand + VWAP area. Use MACD + price action confirmation for entry (e.g., engulfing, break of lower highs). Targets: swing high above 4HR structure + liquidity zones. Scenario 2 – Reversal Risk: If price shows exhaustion near last week’s POC, especially with MACD divergence on lower timeframes → consider a quick short scalp or stay flat until new structure forms. 👀 Key Levels to Watch: 🔹 16,457 = macro support 🔹 Last week’s POC = near-term resistance/liquidity 🔹 Bullish 4HR imbalance zone (mark this for entries) 🔹 Previous NY POC / VWAP area = short-term entry pullback zone

XAUUSD 04/10/2025Market Structure & Key Levels BSL (Buy Side Liquidity): Above the recent swing high – potential target where sellers' stop-losses are positioned. SSL (Sell Side Liquidity): Below the recent minor low – stop-loss area for buyers. FVG 1H (Fair Value Gap): Between approximately 3,020–3,040 – an area of imbalance that price may revisit before continuing in the intended direction. Analysis & Scenario The market has formed a recent high and is now showing signs of a potential short-term pullback. The price may seek to collect SSL and then fill the Fair Value Gap (FVG) around the 3,020–3,040 zone. After this liquidity sweep and FVG fill, a bullish reaction is expected, targeting a break above BSL at around 3,100. If the bullish move gains momentum, a continuation toward 3,120+ is possible. Key Watchpoints Monitor how price reacts around the FVG zone (3,020–3,040). Look for confirmation such as bullish order blocks or displacement before entering. Watch out for scheduled economic events (USD news marked on the chart), as they may cause sudden volatility.

ES UpdateTrump is obviously gaming the market, so there's really no point in even looking at charts or indicators, lol. It's hard to take him seriously now. The gap will fill, maybe as soon as tomorrow morning. Then we get another huge pump sometime within the next week when he repeals the China tariffs and sets then to 10% or something. Just hold your favorite stock and wait it out. I bet he exempts AAPL, auto parts, and whatever else from the China tariffs. GM and even PDD went up today in anticipation. I had a few GM puts, saw the jump, tried to climb on as fast as possible. I prioritized my retirement account ahead of my options play, but I made a little money, hopefully more the next few days, lol. Expecting a melt up, then a jump when he caves in to China, no shorting anything for the next week until everything stabilizes. NVDA and TSLA still have other issues aside from tariffs, so those will be targets. Gotta let the short squeeze complete first, I have a 3 day rule. Wait 3 days, lol.

Don't get fooled by the counter trend rally, Bearish to 27,500Don't be suckered into this bear market rally. Price is still bearish and will continue to be so until the 2018 Open price has been hit of 27,500. A clue the market has shown is the bodies of the last three days are suspended above a key level. This is a sign that price will return. When prices find a low at a key level, the bodies are AT the level. Case in point, bodies of the candles are AT the key level, not suspended above it. This is ALWAYS the case for a major low in the market.

Macroeconomic Context Fed Rate & NFP: The Fed's dovish stance and recent NFP data support the continuation of bullish sentiment in gold.

30-minute candlestick chart on Gold (XAU/USD)Market Structure Labels: CHoCH: Change of Character – indicates a shift in trend direction. BOS: Break of Structure – confirms a continuation in trend direction. Price Zones: Supply Zone (Red Rectangle): Price area near the 3,114 level, where selling pressure may exist. Demand Zones (Blue Rectangles): Areas around 3,052 and 2,950 levels where buying pressure may step in. EQH (Equal Highs): Indicates potential liquidity resting above that high, possibly a target for price. Weak Low: Marked below 2,950, suggesting it's vulnerable and may be swept. Current Price Action: Price is currently at 3,082, up 3.35% for the session. A recent CHoCH to the upside, followed by a BOS, suggests bullish intent. The price appears to be pulling back into a smaller demand zone (~3,064–3,052 area). Forecasted Move (Blue Arrow): The trader anticipates a short-term dip into the highlighted demand zone. After tapping into demand, price is expected to bounce and move back up toward the supply zone, potentially testing or breaking the EQH around 3,114. Trade Setup (Marked Zone): Entry Zone: Around the demand area (~3,064–3,052). Target Zone: Toward the top red zone (~3,114). Risk Zone: Below 3,052.

2025-04-09 - priceactiontds - daily update - daxGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Cleanest breakout retest of the big bull trend line from 2024-08 one could ask for. I highly doubt bulls want to buy this above 21000 tomorrow but these moves are so unlikely that anything can happen. Only rough guesses from me here. I will only look for shorts. current market cycle: trading range more likely than continuation of the bear trend key levels: 19000 - 22000 yeah. no typo. bull case: Bulls wettest dreams came true today but this week the market took those profits away quickly afterwards and right now I have no reason to believe that it’s more likely we will continue higher than down again. Ask yourself, if you are a bull and made 10%+ today, will you bet on making 15 or locking in those sweet profits? Invalidation is below 21000. bear case: Bear trend line is valid until broken and I doubt bears will let that happen. Too much uncertainty and risk for the markets right now. Bears need to quickly trade down below 21000 tomorrow and by then I think bulls will be in give up mode again. We could range some first but currently the markets are moved by tweets from orange face and they move 10%+ up and down. Wildest of times and you just have to take the momentum trades. Above 22000 I am absolutely wrong about this and market is completely neutral again. Best for bears would be to keep it below 21900. Invalidation is above 22000. short term: Neutral. medium-long term from 2024-03-16: Will update this over the weekend. Bear targets are met. I can most likely see this going sideways for months or years now. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Not writing anything about this. You either got lucky having longs when the tweet came or not. Otherwise selling 20000 before US open was a decent trade.

Gold: Watch for Selling OpportunitiesGold remains under pressure around the 3100 level, where previous trapped buyers are creating significant selling pressure. The heavier resistance zone lies between 3127–3146, so if you’re holding long positions, don’t be greedy — this is a crucial area to watch! Tomorrow during the U.S. session, we’re expecting major economic data and headlines. The market will likely see high volatility, and instead of a clear one-way trend, there’s a higher chance of a two-way sweep (both up and down). Trading Advice for Tomorrow: Avoid chasing price or getting caught in emotional trades. Control your position size — even if you end up holding during turbulence, a small and managed position won’t hurt you. You might even come out profitable. But if you enter with full margin and no risk control, the result could be heavy losses or even blowing your account. This is my honest advice! During the Asian and European sessions, the technical outlook favors short positions. Consider selling around the 3103–3123 zone, with support levels at: 3078 / 3066 / 3051 / 3027 / 3011 I will release updated strategies for the U.S. session tomorrow based on key data releases. Stay tuned and feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Good luck and trade safe!

Road to 3200Gold had a strong 4hr timeframe rejection from the 2960-2980 zone. Also had a triple bottom in the same area. Showing super strong signs of another bullish run. Gold is making the strong move up to the 3140 area once 3100 is broke. Should get a small rejection off the 3140 zone before a strong push up to a new all time high. Next all time high goal is 3200 🚀 Short Notes: •Run up to 3140 (Small rejection/load up zone) •Then Load up zone 3110-3100 •Take Profit area 3200 As always, trade safe during these high volatility times and go crush it!💰
