SPX bullishI am now bullish in near term. For those following me, I have updated HILO EMA squeeze band with an option to plot more lines as seen this chart. I see a swing high of 5770, although a bit cautious about the month end. Market is tired of Trump tantrums and more focused on earnings which have been great so far. For near term month or two I would be looking for bye the dip

The SPX Sell Off at 5500Hi all,
It has been a while since we posted as we waited for a really good trade setup. The SPX is hovering at 5500 and we believe it is the right level to sell.
1) There is a shark pattern at this level
2) RSI is overbought on every time frame except H4 and D1
3) There are smaller patterns to sell
4) There is very strong structural resistance at 5510 to 5520
The first target will be 5306 which has a great risk to reward of 1:5.
We will wait for M15 divergence and a trend line break to enter.
US30 Approaching Key Support Zone – Potential Reversal Ahead?📊 Chart Overview:
Timeframe: Looks like an intraday (maybe 1H or 2H).
Indicators:
EMA 50 (Red): 38,964.7
EMA 200 (Blue): 39,637.0
🔍 Key Levels & Structure:
🔵 Support Zone (Highlighted):
Around 36,800 – 37,200 range.
This is a well-tested support level where price previously bounced.
Current price action is approaching this zone again, which increases the chance of a potential bullish reaction.
🟣 Resistance Level:
Defined around 40,500 area.
Price has rejected multiple times from this zone.
Previously served as a consolidation/decision area.
📍 Focus Point (Previous Support Turned Resistance):
Near 38,700 – 39,000.
This level may act as a reaction point on the way back up.
📉 Current Price Action:
Strong downward momentum heading into the support zone.
Price is under both EMAs, suggesting short-term bearish trend.
However, the drawn arrow suggests a potential reversal bounce from the support.
🧠 Interpretation & Scenario Plan:
🅰️ Bullish Scenario:
Price touches or sweeps the support zone.
Bullish structure or reversal candle forms (e.g., hammer, bullish engulfing).
Break back above EMA 50 & Focus Point could confirm the shift.
Target: Revisit Resistance Zone (above 40,000).
🅱️ Bearish Scenario:
Support fails to hold.
Clean break below 36,800 with volume could lead to accelerated sell-off.
Watch for breakdown retests of support turned resistance.
🔔 Takeaway:
⚠️ Current move is bearish, but price is approaching a key demand zone. Bulls might step in if the zone holds. Confirmation is key before going long. Reclaiming EMAs would strengthen bullish bias.
Nifty has hit a channel top with geopolitical events unravellingNifty was swiftly recovering after the Tariff war induced fall. On technical front Nifty has hit a channel top In the hourly line chart. Chanel tops are not easy to conquer and we saw Nifty retrieving today from there. Adding pressure to the rally is the Geo-Political situation after the Dastardly Pahalgam Terrorist Attack. If there is any action by India like Balakot (Swift and fast) any way it will be denied by Pakistan so nothing much will happen to Index. If there is only Political/Geopolitical long term steps taken again it will have less effect on the market. Market may decline drastically only if there is a full blown war between the 2 countries or more than 2 countries. (Possibility of that happening is less but we never know). Not much is in our hand if such a scenario arises. FIIs were seen buying big today so that is something to watchout in the coming days.
Technical Supports for Nifty remain at: 24096, 23882 (Mother Line Support), 23800 and 23316 (Father Line Support). (Mid channel support is also around 23300) so this zone presents a strong support zone.
Technical Resistances Remain at: 24335 (Major Channel Top Resistance), 24504, 24656 and 24785.

NIFTY taking a breather before finally confirming the trend ! As we can see NIFTY remained sideways throughout the day and is yet to decide its upcoming trend as the weekly candles close above our supply zone is yet to be made hence one should trade cautiously as few coming days could be further negative to sideways so plan your trades accordingly and keep watching everyone
DAX enters major resistance zone after 3-day rallyThe DAX has enjoyed a very good recovery from its lows made earlier this month, outperforming many global indices. However, even the flying German index could be due a pullback now that it has reached a major resistance area.
As per the chart, the area between 21970 to 22240 marks a major zone. This area was previously a key support zone which gave way during the height of the tariffs uncertainty, paving the way for a sharp drop.
Now, with Trump changing his tone, we have seen European markets regain much of those losses. But the potential for the trade war to drag on is there, which is why we can't rule out the possibility of a fresh drop from around this area.
If the market does turn lower, then some of the key support levels to watch are drawn on the chart, with the first area for the bulls to defend coming in at around 21,500/50 (shaded in light blue).

Fear @ Greed Index In Nasdaq.The potential future decline of the Nasdaq index is attributed to concerns surrounding the Fibonacci level of 1.138, as indicated by the harmonic shark pattern .
At the 0.88 level, the fear index has surpassed the greed index, and it currently stands at 1.138. This apprehension is also affecting those who are typically driven by greed.
The Interest Rates Paradox and How it'd Predict a Market Top NowIt is a common assumption that higher interest rates naturally slow economic expansion and cool overheated markets.
However, the historical record over the past 50 years tells a more nuanced story when it comes to bubbles. In several major crashes—the dotcom bubble, the U.S. housing bubble, and the Japanese Nikkei bubble—a pattern emerges: monetary authorities began increasing rates well before market tops were reached.
Surprisingly, instead of slowing the market in the short term, these rate hikes coincided with a parabolic run-up in asset prices .
The paradox lies in the fact that while rising rates are expected to dampen market exuberance, during these bubbles, they coexisted with—and arguably even fueled—frenzied market behavior.
This paradox has played out yet again over the last years. With us seeing not only the parabolic rally phase during the interest rate hikes but also us having a current agreement with the interest rates and equites topping at the same time. As with all previous market tops. As we sit here today, we have followed the interest rate topping paradox to the letter.
Let's look more into it.
Historical Patterns and the Paradox
The Early Phase: Initial hikes into a heating up market.
In each of these historical cases, central banks initiated rate hikes as part of a broader strategy to temper what they viewed as emerging economic imbalances. In the late 1980s, for instance, the Bank of Japan began tightening monetary policy as asset prices soared, anticipating overheating in the economy. Despite these early rate increases, the Nikkei continued its upward trajectory, ultimately reaching its peak in December 1989. This pattern was echoed in the U.S. during the dotcom era. Leading into the 2000 peak, the Federal Reserve started to raise rates to control inflationary pressures—even as the technology-heavy market rallied to unsustainable heights.
The pattern has always been similar. Markets are starting to get hot and perhaps there's some unwanted consequence of this (like inflation). So the central bank takes actions to cool things down with the interest rate hikes. Although there have been reactions from this in the near term, overall the trend has become stronger and stronger during the hike cycle.
Let me give you an example to add some context. Alan Greenspan is famous for the "Irrational exuberance" comment. He said that in 1996! The Nasdaq absolutely boomed from there for another 4 years. What had happened before was nothing compared to what came after the interest rate hikes started.
The Parabolic Reaction: Markets Defy Conventional Logic
What seems paradoxical is that rather than a smooth deceleration, markets often reacted to these rate hikes with an intensified speculative fervor. During the dotcom and housing bubbles, small increases in rates did not immediately curb investor optimism; instead, they appeared to add urgency, fueling a belief that the market was resilient enough to outperform despite higher borrowing costs. The market’s parabolic rise in asset prices during periods of tightening monetary policy is counterintuitive, suggesting that investors were less influenced by the immediate cost of capital and more driven by momentum and fear of missing out.
By the high of these rallies it was firmly believed that this was a sign the uptrends would continue. Indeed, they could only get stronger as the interest rates came back down.
....Nah uh. Wasn't how it went all!
And we find ourselves in a strongly similar situation now in 2025.
Leveling Off and the Market Peak
It gets weirder still when you notice rather than markets slowing down on rate cuts they highs of the equites rallies always came rate increases eventually plateau.
Historical data shows that when interest rates stabilized—often within a narrow band of around 5% to 6.5%—this stabilization coincided with the market reaching its absolute peak. In these instances, the plateau did not signal the end of the monetary tightening cycle; rather, it marked the culmination of the bubble. Market participants, having pushed prices to their limits, were suddenly confronted with a reversion, as the underlying economic fundamentals could no longer justify the inflated asset values.
Knowing what happened before does not let you know what will happen in the future, but it's worth knowing. It may well just end up being useful in the future. In every instance of a big market top in the last 50 years the pattern was interest rate hikes and parabolic rallies in this phase, when the hikes stopped the first market sell off began.
We have an exact matching of these conditions now.
The Bear Market and Rate Easing
Once the market had peaked, and the bubble burst, central banks found themselves in a difficult position. In response to the ensuing economic downturns, monetary authorities were compelled to cut rates dramatically—even as equity markets remained subdued. This rapid reduction in rates was aimed at stabilizing economies and stimulating recovery, yet it often came too late to salvage the once-insatiable market exuberance. The inversion of the earlier paradox—where rate hikes were accompanied by soaring markets—serves as a stark reminder of the complexity of monetary policy in times of speculative excess.
All you have to do is look at any of the interest rate charts for the crash in question and it's clear to see these both peaked and reversed around the same time. During bubbles, historically correlation with equities and interest rates is close to prefect. From the start of our interest rate hikes to now, this has continued to apply.
A play out of the historical norms for this would now see rates continue to drop with equities dropping alongside them (Overall, maybe rallying on the news now and then).
Which would make this a rather risky time to be buying the dip.
=================================
Realistic Examples of the Paradox
=================================
Nikkei Bubble (Late 1980s):
Monetary Policy: The Bank of Japan initiated rate hikes to cool a rapidly expanding economy and soaring asset prices.
Market Behavior: Despite these increases, the Nikkei continued its parabolic climb, peaking in December 1989.
Aftermath: Following the bubble’s burst, rates were cut sharply as the market entered a prolonged bear phase.
Dotcom Bubble (Late 1990s to 2000):
Monetary Policy: In response to rising inflationary pressures, the Federal Reserve began increasing rates before the bubble reached its zenith.
Market Behavior: Rather than curbing exuberance, the rate hikes coincided with an acceleration in market gains, contributing to an unsustainable rise in tech stock valuations.
Aftermath: The eventual plateau in rates occurred as the market hit its peak, soon followed by a dramatic downturn when investor sentiment shifted.
U.S. Housing Bubble (Mid-2000s):
Monetary Policy: The Federal Reserve’s gradual rate increases were part of an effort to moderate the housing market’s explosive growth.
Market Behavior: Housing prices continued to rise, reflecting an underlying confidence in the market that outpaced the modest increases in borrowing costs.
Aftermath: When rates eventually leveled off, the market was near its peak, and subsequent rate cuts during the bear market underscored the stark reversal of fortunes.

KSE-100 Index – Bullish Doji Star Near Channel Support, TG 120kOn a technical side, we had a strong bearish divergence as i said yst now exhaustion seems to be completed, hopefully will have a reversal tomorrow
KSE-100 Index – Bullish Doji Star Near Channel Support
The KSE-100 has pulled back to a critical confluence zone near 114,500–115,000, where the lower channel trendline, horizontal support, and previous demand zones align. Moreover, alignment with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level at 115,544 and the lower bound of the rising channel, along with historical demand in the 114k–115k zone. Today's formation of a bullish doji star signals potential exhaustion in selling pressure and hints at a reversal or bounce setup from this level.
Also notable is the 61.8% Fibonacci level at 114,276, aligning closely with the lower wick of the Doji indicates that buyers stepped in exactly at this golden ratio level. The price action reflects previous reactions from this zone (highlighted in circles), supporting the probability of another bounce.
This area has previously acted as a strong launchpad for upward moves, as shown by multiple successful bounces (circled on chart). If the index holds above 114,000, it keeps the upward channel structure intact, setting the stage for a fresh attempt toward 120,000+
