Market indices
NASDAQStable bullish bias—large speculators are neither aggressively piling in nor stepping back.
Lack of a sharp position shift suggests the market is in consolidation or mild uptrend rather than a strong breakout.
Watch for fresh breakout above recent highs or shakeouts below support to confirm a shift in direction.
Bias: Slight bullish.
S&P500Net shorts increased by 58,668 contracts, which is a massive bearish shift from institutions and hedge funds.
This signals that large speculators are aggressively betting against the S&P 500.
It’s one of the largest bearish positions in recent months — often tied to expectations of a market pullback, economic concern, or interest rate risk.
Bearish bias intensifies — short positions rising fast.
Nasdaq - This starts the next +50% rally!Nasdaq - TVC:NDQ - might break out soon:
(click chart above to see the in depth analysis👆🏻)
Despite the quite harsh correction of about -25% which we saw in the beginning of 2025, the Nasdaq is clearly heading for new all time highs. It sounds almost incredible but if the Nasdaq breaks above the current confluence of resistance, a breakout rally of +50% will follow thereafter.
Levels to watch: $21.500, $33.000
Keep your long term vision!

DXY OUTLOOK - SWING SETUPThe dollar has been on a six-month decline, but I anticipate a recovery. This is primarily due to the current economic climate, geopolitical landscape, and the dollar's traditional role as a safe-haven currency during periods of significant uncertainty
"May fortune attend thee, and thy trade prosper." .......L2Earned
HK50 bearish momentumWe see this index coming down much lower due to Investors being underwhelmed by Beijing's latest economic support measures, with some stimulus lacking detail—similar to a previous sharp drop (~–9%) after disappointing announcements .
Mixed Chinese PMI and retail data also dampen sentiment.
U.S.–China tariff fears:
Ongoing trade tensions and tariff worries continue to pressure Chinese-connected stocks, impacting the Hang Seng disproportionately .
Foreign fund outflows & shifting global appetite:
Capital has been flowing out toward safer or higher-growth markets, especially as U.S. and European equities show more stability. A weaker yuan adds to pressure .
Great Depression 2.0 Starting in 2030?Looking at the Dow Jones, we can see clear cycles forming on this index. I believe we could see one more major run on the Dow between now and 2030, followed by a repeat of the Great Depression. I could easily be wrong, but the charts suggest this is a very real possibility.
So, between now and our potential top in 2030, we have an opportunity to make a significant amount of money in markets like crypto.
As always, stay profitable.

Nifty Analysis EOD – June 18, 2025 – Wednesday🟢 Nifty Analysis EOD – June 18, 2025 – Wednesday 🔴
⚖️ Dhamakedar Start, But Indecisive Close – Weekly Expiry Caution Ahead
Nifty opened with a 65-point gap-down at 24,788.35, but what followed was a power-packed bullish start — within just 25 minutes, it surged over 150 points, hitting a day high of 24,947.55.
However, the euphoria didn’t last.
As the session progressed, the index gradually gave up all its gains, slipped below the previous day’s low, and finally found support at 24,750, a critical level. By the end of the day, Nifty settled around the opening zone at 24,812.05, just +23 points above open, while net change remained −41.35 points from the previous close.
The day showcased both strength and weakness — a typical "everyone-expected-fall-but-it-didn't-fall-enough" kind of day. The long upper wick reflects failed attempts by bulls, while the lack of breakdown keeps the bears in check.
Tomorrow is weekly expiry — caution is advised.

SELL US30US30 is currently testing a macro-level resistance zone that has historically reversed price sharply. The current market behavior hints at a bearish rejection, with a projected move toward 37K first, and potentially 34K later, if broader market sentiment shifts risk-off. This setup provides a favorable risk-reward ratio for swing short traders, especially if confirmed by price action triggers in the coming days.

S&P500: 1D Golden Cross incoming. 6,300 sighted.S&P500 is on an excellent bullish technical outlook on 1D (RSI = 60.006, MACD = 86.860, ADX = 23.325), extending a May 23rd rebound on its 1D MA200. Soon the market will form a 1D Golden Cross, drawing valid comparisons with the 2020 COVID recovery. That pattern, following its 1D MA200 rebound, extended the uptrend all the way to the 1.136 Fibonacci extension before pulling back to the 1D MA50 again. Buy, TP = 6,300.

DXY: Bulls Are Winning! Long!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse DXY together☺️
The recent price action suggests a shift in mid-term momentum. A break above the current local range around 98. 059 will confirm the new direction upwards with the target being the next key level of 98.148 and a reconvened placement of a stop-loss beyond the range.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️
FOMC short: waiting for this short entry to get activated.1. Entry ~21,884.4
Why here? Price has rallied into that red “supply” zone (fair-value gap + bearish order block), then chopped down and back up to retest its lower edge. That level also coincides with the broken swing pivot (Change-of-Character from bull→bear). We short the retest, expecting supply to push price lower.
2. Stop-loss 21,912.0
Why there? Just above the top of the supply zone/weak high. If price climbs above 21,912, it’s cleared the zone and negated the bearish bias—so we get out.
3. Take-Profits
TP1 at 21,800.9 (the old swing-high turned support, labeled “PMH”)
First support zone—locks in quick gains and covers your risk.
TP2 at 21,675.0 (the previous day’s low, labeled “PDL”)
A deeper support area where sellers will likely pause or flip to buyers.
(Optional TP3 at 21,575.8 if you want a final scalp into the gray “equilibrium”/demand zone.)
DOW30/US30 - ACTIVE TRADE - PROFITABLE SET UP TRADETeam,

View on Banknifty We all have been following banknifty. It has been a go-to index for traders, whether they are short term or long term. Everyone has his own strategic view to dissect it. On 25th April, it moved out of the channel. The channel was touched again on 9th May. It returned again on June 13th.
I think it will re-enter the channel before starting new uptrend. 53600 - 54000 is the level to look for.
This is not a buy/sell recommendation.
