Market on Edge: Tariffs, Tension, and Market Turmoil(The following is for informational purposes only and reflects personal opinions, not investment advice. Please exercise your own judgment before making any financial decisions.)
In the coming weeks, the U.S. stock market is likely to remain driven by news flow, with investors closely watching the Trump administration’s policies on tariffs.
Last week, market sentiment remained extreme fearful as the impact of the tariff measures continued to ripple through the markets. The U.S. bond market sell-off prompted President Trump to announce on Wednesday a 90-day delay on tariff implementation for countries other than China. This announcement triggered a sharp market rebound that forced many short sellers to cover their positions. However, as the tariff delay did not fundamentally resolve the underlying uncertainty surrounding trade policies, the market failed to sustain its gains on Thursday and Friday.
At present, U.S.-China trade tensions continue to escalate, and no successful trade agreement has been announced yet. The market is seeking more concrete positive developments—such as tax cuts from the Trump administration, or the signing of trade agreements with major economies that include tariff reductions—before uncertainty can be lifted and a meaningful rebound achieved.
For now, it is better to remain patient and let the news develop, with minimal trading activity. Market direction will largely depend on future actions from the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve, making it difficult to rely on technical analysis alone to determine the market trend.
Currently, the 19,988–20,382 range serves as a critical resistance zone. A breakout above 20,382, sustained over time, would indicate that bulls are gaining control. Conversely, if the price stays consistently below 20,275, it suggests that bears remain dominant.
Until clear, favorable news emerges, further downside in the market is possible. However, shorting at these levels also carries significant risk, as any policy shift or positive announcement from Trump could trigger another sharp rebound—similar to what occurred last Wednesday.

NAS100 Playbook For The Week Friday closed around 18,783, likely in the midst of wrapping up Wave 5 on the 1H timeframe ⚠️
However, the daily Wave 5 still looks incomplete — my upside target remains around 19,732.
Notably, price hasn’t tapped the Wave 3 daily high at 19,258, so there’s still room for one more push 📈
What I’m Watching:
🔻 Short-term pullback likely.
Here are the zones I’m eyeing for potential shorts:
🔹 1H Wave 2 FVG zone → 18,098
🔹 Daily FVG / Wave 2 bottom → 17,573
I’ll be looking to short into one of those levels IF structure confirms, then potentially flip long once we see a solid move on the daily 💥

monday long opportunity for nasdaq1. From the daily chart perspective, I believe a short-term bottom has already formed, but the stop-loss level is too far for a long position, so it’s better to seek a low-entry buy. Last Friday, it reached a support level, but I wasn’t firm enough so i didn't enter. BUtT, we can PATIENTLY wait for a lower point to buy here.
monday plan:
On the 1-hour timeframe, resistance is at 19100-19300 (which is also the 4-hour resistance), and support is at 18200-17800.
Look for buying opportunities on Monday, with real-time updates afterward, stop-loss at 17600.
TARGET IS 19100-19300.
If price goes up directly, i will wait 19100-19300 for a short opportunity instead.
Nasdaq 100 to 17000On the above 3-day chart price action has corrected 33% since late December. A number of reasons now exist to be bullish, including:
1) The ‘incredible buy’ signal has printed. Look left.
2) The buy signal is coming in at 81% probability. The previous were 75%, 72@, & 72% percent, respectively. Look at the strength of if a 75% recovery, what do you think a 81% will be like? This can only be the result of a massive short squeeze, in my opinion.
3) Price action has just printed a ‘double bottom’ (orange line) on past support / resistance - look left!
4) Most recently price action has broken out of a bullish falling wedge formation with back test confirmation, see below.
Is it possible price action falls further? For sure.
Is it probable? No.
Good luck!

NSDQ100 China to Hike Tariffs on All US Goods – Market MixedChina to Hike Tariffs on All US Goods – Market Reaction Mixed
China announced it will raise tariffs on all US imports from 84% to 125%, effective April 12. The move follows Washington’s decision to increase levies on Chinese goods to 145% earlier this year.
However, Beijing signaled it will no longer respond to future US tariff increases, calling the back-and-forth “a joke,” suggesting a shift in tone from retaliation to dismissal.
Market Reaction:
USD: The dollar weakened further following the announcement, reflecting rising trade tensions and risk-off sentiment.
Equities: US futures turned lower as traders priced in the potential economic drag from escalating tariffs.
Gold: Continued to rise, reinforcing its role as a preferred safe-haven amid geopolitical uncertainty.
US Treasuries: Traditionally seen as a safe-haven, Treasuries underperformed, suggesting investor confidence in them may be weakening under mounting fiscal and trade concerns.
Analysis:
Markets are increasingly pricing in the fallout from an intensifying US-China trade standoff. The rise in gold and the dip in Treasuries suggest a shift in investor preference toward alternative safe-haven assets. If trade tensions continue to escalate, further downside in risk assets and USD strength reversal are possible.

A Real-Time Case Study of Gann's Astro-Based Price-Degree MethodIn the fast-paced world of trading, timing is everything. While most traders rely on indicators and chart patterns, a growing number are turning to time-tested, astrological methods pioneered by W.D. Gann. One such approach is the use of price-to-degree conversion and Ascendant alignment—a technique that doesn’t just react to the market, but predicts its moves with uncanny accuracy.
In this post, we’ll walk through a real-life application of this method, showcasing how a specific swing low and planetary alignment set the stage for a textbook reversal—long before traditional indicators caught up.
The Setup: April 1st, 2025 – A Swing Low
At exactly 10:20 AM on April 1st, 2025, a clear swing low formed on the 5-minute chart at a price of 19081. This wasn’t just any low, it marked a point of energetic significance.
Using the price-to-degree method, we convert the price into astrological degrees. This is done by subtracting 360 repeatedly until the value falls below 360. In this case:
19081 → 1°
This result, 1 degree, is not just mathematically clean—it’s symbolically powerful. In astrological terms, the beginning of any zodiac cycle starts at 0–1°, making this a prime candidate for a significant market reaction.
Squaring the Price Degree with the Ascendant
With our “price degree” established at 1°, the next step is to monitor the Ascendant—the point on the zodiac rising on the eastern horizon at a specific moment in time. The idea is to identify when the Ascendant once again aligns with the price degree.
To make this process precise and efficient, I used my custom Gann Astro Intraday Software, designed to forecast such planetary alignments in real time.
According to the software, the next major alignment would occur on:
April 2nd, 2025 at 5:15 AM (New York Time)
At this exact time, the Ascendant was poised to cross 1°, creating a powerful energetic echo of the original swing low.
The Reaction: Watching the Market Respond
Instead of jumping into a trade blindly, I waited and watched. The true magic of this method lies not in haste, but in the patient observation of market behavior at forecasted time points.
As the clock struck 5:15 AM on April 2nd, the market started reacting almost instantly:
Prices began printing lower lows
Momentum shifted
Weakness set in
Sell-side liquidity was taken out
This was not a random move. It was a vibrational response—a subtle, yet powerful reaction to the alignment between price degree and Ascendant degree. Time and price had echoed back to their origin point, triggering a reversal with near-perfect timing.
Why This Matters: Forecasting, Not Guessing
This example is more than just a technical showcase—it’s a testament to the power of Gann’s astro-based intraday techniques. By combining:
Accurate price-to-degree conversions
Real-time Ascendant tracking
Planetary cycle mapping
And precision software tools
...you move from reactive trading to forecast-based execution.
It’s this fusion of geometry, vibration, and astrology that transforms a simple chart setup into a high-probability forecast.
Final Thoughts: Trading at the Intersection of Time and Space
Many traders spend years searching for that elusive “edge.” Gann's work teaches us that sometimes, the answers lie beyond traditional charts—in the movements of the cosmos, the rhythm of degrees, and the invisible clockwork of planetary motion.
This April 1st–2nd case study is just one example of how powerful these methods can be when properly applied. When time, price, and planetary geometry align, the market speaks—and if you’re tuned in, you can hear it loud and clear.
So next time you're analyzing a chart, ask yourself: Am I just reading the past, or am I forecasting the future?
Because when astrology and trading come together, you’re not just reacting to the market… you’re dancing with it.

Incoming fall and riseNasdaq is struggling to move past the 19200 and 19000 barriers, and this may lead to a bearish correction aiming for 17,886 and 17,333 support. If price action does fall, the 17k region will be the likely barrier, which may spearhead the bullish continuation targeting 19,700 and 20,200.
Currently, price action is rising from 18,500, trying to reach 19,200 and 19,000. As long as price action is under the 19k zone, the bearish correction may likely occur. Failure to fall and finding strength above the 19k barriers, the indice may continue its upward trajectory!
NASDAQ Uprun ExpectedThe NASDAQ remains volatile, but has not yet undercut its lows from the beginning of the month. The correction since the explosive rise from the yearly lows remains within limits, and the market was able to recover quickly and significantly from today's lows.
We are therefore optimistic, at least in the short term, and are taking the long position shown up to the open gap.
Nas tariff trade idea Looking for nas sells with escalations in tariff war. I will make sure global equities push lower alon with oil pushing lower and recession fears coming back in the market
looking for buys on nas if de escalations happen and we can see oil above 60 and global markets pushing up
Oversold but Not Safe – NAS100 Bears Still in Control
Currently trading below the 20-day SMA (middle of Bollinger Bands), indicating bearish momentum.
Support zone: ~17,600 (recent lows and high volume area)
Resistance zone: ~18,800–19,200 (middle Bollinger Band & recent highs)
Failure to break above 18,800 and another test of 17,600 could lead to continuation downward, possibly toward 17,000–16,800.
NSDQ100 INTRADAY resistance retest Tech stocks tumbled after the U.S. announced new restrictions on Nvidia chip exports to China and ASML posted weaker-than-expected results, sparking renewed trade war fears. The selloff wiped out $155 billion in market value between the two companies.
Meanwhile, China is holding off on trade talks, wanting the U.S. to take certain steps first—like toning down harsh rhetoric from officials—according to a source familiar with Beijing’s stance.
U.S. stock futures trimmed losses after that China news but still point to a lower open due to the tech slump. The dollar slid to a six-month low, while investors moved into safe havens, gold hit a record high and the Swiss franc gained.

US100 Technical Analysis by TradingDONHere’s the CAPITALCOM:US100 lowdown: That “bullish reversal??” tag’s throwing up a question mark because nothing’s set in stone yet—if the market holds above the 18,400 sweep low and starts pushing past recent swing highs around 18,650–18,700, especially knocking off that short label near 18,700, it could kickstart a short-term bullish turn; but if it rallies into that 18,700 zone and then stalls or flips, we’re still in bearish territory, with a likely retest of the 18,400 level or even a deeper dive to snag more liquidity.
