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.

NQ Range (04-10-25)Staying with the Range 19,400 - 18,200. Looking for 18,200 retest to hold or not. Was that insider trading yesterday? Seemed like it. Anyway, we can add that to the bag of tricks, curveballs, etc. Yesterday was a major Danger Zone, U Turn, Drop Offset, Info Leak, Algo Long Only move that happened during the Dead Zone. With O/N -400 points tonight, we may be setting up for a 18,200 retest. Big action and bigger reaction may be in store after the one sided perfectly timed manufactured move from yesterday.

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed lower after experiencing extreme volatility the previous day. Following a gap-down open, the market attempted a bottoming process. However, the spread of fake news related to tariffs triggered a 10% intraday swing, making the Nasdaq trade more like an individual stock than a major index. Massive trading volume occurred due to margin calls from CFDs and hedge funds, and the market showed some signs of recognition around a potential short-term bottom. On the weekly chart, the index rebounded but was resisted at the 3-week moving average. On the daily chart, a doji bullish candlestick with strong volume formed, suggesting the market may attempt another rebound. However, since volatility from the bottom remains significant, if you’re planning to enter long positions, it's best to buy as close to the bottom as possible. If the market continues to form a base, a rebound toward the 5-day or 10-day moving average on the daily chart is possible. On the 240-minute chart, the market is still in a death cross and remains oversold. Still, it's showing signs of forming a base around the 16,500 level, so it's better to avoid chasing short positions during any pullbacks that could form a double bottom. In this oversold environment, a buy-on-dip approach near the lows is favorable for a technical rebound. But since volatility remains high, make sure to set clear stop-loss levels for both long and short trades. Crude Oil Crude oil experienced a gap-down on the daily chart and closed lower after hitting resistance at the 3-day moving average. On both the daily and weekly charts, the $57–$59 zone appears to be a short-term support level. If the price dips into this zone, it may offer a buying opportunity. Yesterday’s candle was resisted at the 3-day line, so if a bottoming pattern forms today, a rebound toward the 5-day moving average could be anticipated. However, since the MACD has just issued a sell signal near the zero line, it's better to treat any long positions as short-term trades. On the 240-minute chart, the sell signal is still valid, and the market remains in oversold territory. Watching for a potential double bottom formation before entering long positions is recommended. That said, if market sentiment continues to accept economic recession as a given, oil prices could keep falling. There's also the risk of a one-way downward move, so if you're going long, ensure tight stop-loss levels are in place. Gold Gold saw sharp volatility and closed lower after being rejected at the 5-day moving average. Due to the weaker dollar from U.S. tariff announcements, the attractiveness of gold has diminished in the short term. On the weekly chart, gold is still forming a range-bound movement near the 10-week moving average, with support appearing near the $2,975 level. On the daily chart, the lower Bollinger Band and the 60-day moving average are rising and beginning to converge. These overlapping indicators could form a strong support zone, so if the price drops into this area, it may present a good opportunity to buy the dip. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD and signal lines have both dropped below the zero line, and the RSI has entered oversold territory. While this could lead to further accelerated selling, it is also a zone where a rebound from oversold conditions could easily occur. It’s best to avoid chasing the downside and instead focus on buying during pullbacks near strong support zones. Market volatility is increasing, but this is also a zone where technical rebounds are likely due to excessive declines. While confirmation of a bottoming pattern is needed, in this kind of market, it's safer to focus on one direction rather than trying to trade both ways. Long positions currently offer a better risk-reward ratio, so it’s advisable to enter at the lower end of the range. Reduce leverage as much as possible and always set stop-loss levels to ensure safe trading in these turbulent conditions. If you like my analysis, please follow me and give it a boost!

#202516 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oilGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Expanding triangles are my least favorite structure and we are in one. I have no bias here because both sides have reasonable arguments. Bulls just want this selling to become a bear trap and test up to the upper bear trend line around 69 and bears can see it as a bear flag that tested the 50% retracement of this bear leg. current market cycle: trading range on the monthly chart - daily chart is a bear trend that could be transitioning into a trading range again key levels: 55 - 69 bull case: Bulls see it as a failed acceleration down and want to retest the prior bear trend line around 68. Same target as last week but this week they closed the weekly bar above 64 which was my line in the sand. If they continue here, they will likely squeeze much higher again. 69 next target. Invalidation is below 60. bear case: I give the bears one more day to form a strong reversal but the odds are low. This breakout could go much higher and Friday looks like a give-up bar. Argument for the bears is that we are still at the 50% retracement and the breakout-retest of the March low 64. Any prices above 64.2 is invalidation for the bears. I will only view this as bearish again, if bears break the bull trend line from the 54.48 low and that’s currently around 61. Invalidation is above 64.2. short term: Neutral at 64. Above 64.2 bullish and only below 61 I think bears have taken control again. medium-long term - Update from 2025-04-20: This does look like another bear trap below 60, which was to be expected. Depending on next week I will write some more here. For now It’s still a bear trend until bulls can reclaim 72.

#202516 - priceactiontds - weekly update - nasdaq Good Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Neutral and very similar to dax, as most of the time. I do think we will see one more leg down in this current bear trend before we could go sideways for longer, until earnings become the absolute fucking shitshow I expect them to become. We get daily news about big companies not exporting to China or to the US due to tariffs. No one believes this will go down smoothly. Bear trend line holding so far, 50% retracement for this bear trend was 19483 and the spike high last week was 19388 and bulls could not get above it this week. The daily 20ema is also right above us and every time market touched it, we sold and closed below. Triangle will likely break on Tuesday and I am having wet dreams about going below 17000 again. current market cycle: bear trend but above 19388 it ends and we will be in a giant trading range key levels: 15500 - 19500 bull case: Bulls want this trend to end and crush the hopes for a third leg down. That has not changed. Their only target is 19388 and if they get it, market is completely neutral and they will likely go for 20000 again. Bulls still have the triangle argument but below 18100 that is gone as well. At this point I think only very positive news could save the bulls. Market is likely waiting for big earnings next week and if Tesla surprises downwards, we will hopefully crash this m* again. Invalidation is below 18000. bear case: Last week my assumption was that the tariff exemptions were enough to pump this above the bull spike from the previous week but that failed and we went lower since. If even that can not lift the market to higher highs, what will? Only a big agreement with the EU and/or China. How likely is that? This US government doesn’t even know how to articulate their goals in negotiations, how do you think you could guess it? Market is in maximum limbo and since we are still somewhat high enough, we could see more risk-off trading. Until bears can get below 18000, we likely continue sideways. 3 big resistances held and the bear trend line is intact. Bears are heavily favored to continue down and I expect a third leg. Can the third leg get much below 16400? I don’t know but I doubt it. Only a deep recession would get us there and for that we would need earnings going real bad. Below 18000 I expect 17200 to be the next big support but a retest of 16400/16500 could happen. Invalidation is above 19388. short term: Neutral. Sideways most likely until a clear breakout above or below. Below 18000 we could do 17500 or 17000 fast. Above 19388 market is free to test much higher again. medium-long term - Update from 2024-04-20: My most bearish target for 2025 was 17500ish, given in my year-end special. We had the clear W1 and W3 but now it’s messy. Only a big tariff agreement news can move the markets and that can go either way. You have no edge in guessing what will happen, so having huge swing positions right now does not make much sense. If earnings go bad, we will go much lower. What is the next big support to be hit? The lows of 2022 at 12565. Can we really get there? With a deep recession and some bigger failings, sure but for now it’s unrealistic to expect it.

In this short video, I break down the daily chart of the Micro EIn this short video, I break down the daily chart of the Micro E-mini Nasdaq 100 (MNQ, June 2025 contract) and share my outlook for the upcoming week. I'm watching the weekly high and low, a potential bearish retracement pattern, and price behavior around the 0.5–0.75 Fibonacci levels. 📉 My main scenario is a short-term move higher into resistance, followed by a potential continuation to the downside – but I'm staying flexible and watching price action closely.
