Weekly and Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNASDAQ NASDAQ closed higher, breaking above the upper trendline resistance on the daily chart. On the weekly chart, the sell signal is still active, and the MACD has yet to cross above the signal line. Therefore, even if the market rises early this week, it could potentially retreat again. This underscores the need to avoid chasing highs. On the daily chart, a buy signal was generated with today’s candle, but it is not confirmed by yesterday’s action. If today’s session ends with a bearish candle, the buy signal could disappear. For a sustained upward move, today must close with a bullish candle and create a clear buy signal. Furthermore, for this signal to be meaningful, the signal line must move above the zero line, with a wider divergence between the MACD and the signal line driven by additional gains. On the 240-minute chart, a long bullish candle has created a potential third wave up. Breaking through the upper trendline is significant, but whether this uptrend will continue remains uncertain. Additionally, with U.S. markets closed today for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, today's and tomorrow’s daily candles will be combined. Expect sideways movement with a bullish tilt today, with the main market session tomorrow likely determining the direction. Focus on buying on dips while avoiding chasing highs. CRUDE OIL Crude oil closed lower, forming an upper wick on the daily chart. On the weekly chart, the price is significantly distanced from the 3-day and 5-day moving averages, suggesting that this week could see consolidation or a pullback from the $79 resistance level. On the daily chart, crude has fallen below the 5-day moving average, now trading within a range between the 5-day and 10-day moving averages. The $74–$75 range represents an attractive buy zone during a pullback. This area aligns with the weekly 5-day moving average, making it a critical level to watch. Around $76, where the 10-day moving average lies, significant support exists on intraday charts. Observing whether this level holds on the first test is crucial. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD remains significantly above the zero line, favoring continued buying on dips. The first key support is around $76, and the second is in the $74–$75 range, where the MACD could attempt another bullish crossover. Be mindful of reduced trading volumes due to the U.S. market holiday and focus on range-bound strategies. GOLD Gold faced resistance near the 2760 level, closing with a doji candle. On the weekly chart, the MACD is diverging from the signal line, suggesting that further upside may face resistance around the 2785 level. If the MACD on the weekly chart fails to form a golden cross, a pullback may occur. On the daily chart, the strong buy trend remains intact, favoring a buy-focused strategy. However, on the 240-minute chart, a potential dead cross could signal short-term corrections. With U.S. markets closed today and tomorrow, gold could dip to the 5-day moving average, creating buying opportunities during pullbacks. For today, short-term selling at highs with a focus on key support levels for buying on dips is recommended. Sideways movement during pre-market hours may continue, with tomorrow’s main session likely setting the next direction. Stick to box-range trading and take advantage of key opportunities if prices reach critical levels. With U.S. markets closed on Monday, reduced trading volumes make box-range trading strategies more effective. Use this time to prepare for potential opportunities at key levels. Stay diligent with risk management, and have a successful trading week ahead. ■Trading Strategies for Today NASDAQ - Range-bound Market -Buy: 21510 / 21480 / 21350 / 21310 / 21270 -Sell: 21650 / 21740 / 21780 / 21880 Crude Oil - Bullish Market -Buy: 76.90 / 76.30 / 75.70 / 74.95 -Sell: 77.80 / 78.25 / 78.60 / 79.00 Gold - Bullish Market -Buy: 2730 / 2723 / 2719 / 2715 -Sell: 2747 / 2753 / 2758 / 2762 / 2777 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

HTF Market Maker Buy ModelThe market is currently in the Buy Curve of a Market Maker Model and these are the next steps I am expecting for the week to come: 1. Manipulation below Weekly Open which would fill the 4H Discount FVG and hit the Daily OB; 2. Expansion higher targeting the newly created Liquidity Pool in premium and the Previous Daily / Weekly High; Trade ideas: - Buy on Tuesday / Wednesday once the manipulation occurs using higher timeframes with the entry being the 4H FVG; - Use internal short-term buy models with the same logic coupled with macro times (mostly 1st AM Session macro for large range moves); - Use internal short-term models targeting Lunch Hour stops in the 1st PM Session macro for small expansions or reversals depending whether or not a key level is hit and short-term liquidity is breached;

20250117 NQI anticipate downside move at least to the ORG Friday CE level. If there is not stop then it is very nice environment for the TGIF downside move but there is very nice bs level to make the raid even today which is 4h bs level. I would like to see the 10-11 am AMS SB price action. If there is some high resistance liquidity run to the downside then it is more for the later upside but I anticipate downside within TGIF. The only question if price action still needs to make the bs raid above 4h bs level first.

Possible shorting opportunity on MNQ for FridayMy directional bias for Friday 17 January 2025 is Bearish with the Focus on price trading lower to fill in the BISI after finding some sort of support in premium levels. My Focus is the PDL at 21171.75 and then possibly the low of the BISI at 21143.75 for the discount draw on liquidity. I also like the fact that yesterday price wicked higher to clear the PDHs and then filled in the premium SIBI and found rejection off the D -OB lower quadrant. So lets see how price delivers today....

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNASDAQ NASDAQ closed lower, facing resistance near the 20-day moving average. It struggled at the midpoint of the long bearish candle formed on January 7 (21570), which coincides with the upper trendline resistance originating from the December 16, 2023 high (22450). The market's direction—whether it breaks above the upper trendline resistance around 21500 or reverts to the center of the downtrend—remains to be seen. On the weekly chart, a sell signal has been triggered. On the daily chart, the significant gap between the MACD and signal line suggests a higher likelihood of continued downside. However, after consolidating around the center of Wednesday's large bullish candle, the market may trade sideways for a few days before determining its next direction. On the 240-minute chart, both the MACD and signal line are above the zero line. After consolidating in a box range, the market may see a bullish third wave supported by the MACD holding above the signal line. Alternatively, a dead cross could form, signaling a shift to bearish momentum. For today, a range-bound strategy focusing on selling at highs and buying at lows is appropriate. Note that Fridays can often bring choppy price action. CRUDE OIL Crude oil closed lower after facing resistance at the upper monthly boundary. On the daily chart, the significant gap between the price and moving averages increases the risk of pursuing long positions at higher levels. If oil breaks below the 5-day moving average, the 10-day moving average or the $74–$75 range could act as support. A pullback to these levels would provide an opportunity for buying on dips. The recent month-long rally has caused the MACD and signal line to diverge significantly above the zero line, supporting a buy-on-dip strategy during corrections. However, as mentioned previously, a sell signal has appeared on the 240-minute chart, along with MACD divergence, suggesting a higher probability of additional downside. The recent $79 rally could represent the head of a head-and-shoulders pattern, with the right shoulder acting as resistance upon a rebound. Below $76, strong support exists, so box-range trading near critical levels is recommended. GOLD Gold closed higher, supported by declining Treasury yields. The daily chart confirms a fully established uptrend, making it advantageous to focus on buying during pullbacks. Treasury yields, which have been inversely correlated with gold, are also showing sell signals, suggesting further downside in yields and strength in gold. If gold breaks above the 2755 level, it could test the weekly chart resistance at 2788. However, resistance at this level may prevent the weekly MACD from forming a golden cross, leading to a consolidation phase over the next few weeks. On the 240-minute chart, strong buying momentum suggests a bullish third wave that could replicate the prior move from 2625 to 2735. With the clear daily trend and one-way price action, this is a favorable period for swing trading to maximize profits. Traders should consider this an opportunity to grow their accounts. This week included major events like the CPI report. Next Monday, Donald Trump will officially be inaugurated as U.S. President. Given past market volatility during Trump's presidency, expect heightened price swings ahead. Always adhere to stop-loss levels and manage risks diligently. Wrap up the week well, and best of luck in your trading endeavors. ■Trading Strategies for Today NASDAQ - Range-bound Market -Buy: 21150 / 21090 / 21020 / 20940 -Sell: 21330 / 21370 / 21420 / 21490 Crude Oil - Bullish Market (March futures) -Buy: 77.50 / 77.00 / 76.20 / 75.70 / 74.90 -Sell: 78.55 / 79.00 / 79.35 / 80.30 Gold - Bullish Market -Buy: 2738 / 2729 / 2722 / 2715 / 2700 -Sell: 2757 / 2765 / 2772 / 2780 / 2788 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

NQ: 123th trading session - recapI took a short today - losing trade It actually was a pretty solid setup, losses happen - that's trading I will say however that the candle in question that gave me my entry signal did NOT have as much momentum as yesterdays. Now, I'm not saying this to cope with a loss, I am completely fine with the fact that I lost money, that is just the reality of trading. But in the future I can still look out for that, cause as I already stated: momentum > structure I marked out on the chart the most beautiful tiny range I've ever seen, the second one is alright. I am still working on a strat for choppy sessions because it would be stupid to only have one that makes money when there is movement in the market. For those who don't understand: 99% OF THE TIME IT'S JUST A RANGING MARKET AND CHOPPY SESSIONS!!!!! But that wraps it up for today - excited for tomorrow
