Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed flat as the market digested the previous day's FOMC decision to hold interest rates and major corporate earnings reports. The strategy of selling at the 5-day moving average proved effective, and despite the FOMC decision and earnings from Tesla and Microsoft, the index remained within a range-bound market. On the daily chart, the MACD is still above the signal line and the zero line, indicating that the buy signal is still intact. However, as there has been no significant volatility, the gap between the indicators remains narrow, maintaining the current range. Since the buy signal is still valid, it would be advantageous to monitor whether the gap-down from January 27 is filled and trade accordingly within the range. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD has crossed above the signal line below the zero line and is now consolidating. For the MACD to cross below the signal line, a sharp decline would be necessary, but given the current spread between the MACD and the signal line, such a drop appears unlikely. Instead, if the market continues to consolidate and the MACD and signal line converge, the next move—whether another buying wave or a selling wave—will determine the trend. Since key economic reports, including the GDP release and Apple’s earnings, are due today, it would be best to adopt a range-bound strategy. Crude Oil Crude oil faced resistance at $74 and closed lower. On the daily chart, the sell signal remains intact, with prices failing to break above the 5-day moving average and continuing to decline within a downward channel. Prices are currently supported around the $72 level. For a bullish outlook, it would be crucial to see a strong bullish candlestick breaking above the downward channel's upper boundary at around $73.60. On the 240-minute chart, both the MACD and signal line remain below the zero line. While the MACD has crossed above the signal line, the price has not surged, resulting in only a narrow spread. Given that the $72–73 range has historically been a strong support zone, it would be preferable to buy on pullbacks. However, if the price breaks below this range and a sell signal emerges, it will be important to monitor whether the $72 level holds as support. Gold Gold closed flat on the daily chart, maintaining a buy signal. The MACD and signal line are gradually converging, but the spread remains sufficient to prevent an immediate shift to a sell signal. If the MACD turns upward, further gains are likely. A key factor to watch is whether the weekly candlestick forms a bullish pattern and the MACD crosses above the signal line. Key resistance levels are at 2800 and 2820. On the 240-minute chart, the buy signal is still intact, but the spread has narrowed, indicating weaker momentum. The market is range-bound with mixed buying and selling pressure. As long as no sell signal appears on the 240-minute chart, a buy-on-dip strategy is preferable. However, keep in mind that upcoming economic data releases may lead to pre-market consolidation. ■Trading Strategies for Today Nasdaq - Range-bound Market -Buy Levels: 21470 / 21400 / 21360 / 21285 / 21220 -Sell Levels: 21625 / 21680 / 21770 / 21890 Crude Oil - Range-bound Market -Buy Levels: 72.60 / 72.00 / 71.40 / 70.50 -Sell Levels: 73.40 / 73.85 / 74.40 / 75.00 GOLD - Bullish Market(April) -Buy Levels: 2793 / 2787 / 2777 / 2773 / 2768 -Sell Levels: 2803 / 2809 / 2813 / 2821 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

NQ potential levels on 1D chartLooking from the perspective of AMD model we are expecting the manipulation below the sellside, eventhough the overall move itself is manipulative which takes out the buyers with every next swing down in the range of the previous post. I think we are about to retest the balanced price range where the liquidity is marked by the trend line. the potential fair price for a significant rebound is the previously formed inefficiency which was respected afterwards as can be researched. In case we break that level down with significant strength.

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNASDAQ NASDAQ successfully rebounded and closed higher. Yesterday was a day where selling at the 3-day moving average was possible, and after rebounding to the 3-day line, it faced resistance and closed at that level. The rebound appears to be a recovery from the excessive drop on Monday due to overblown concerns about China's Deepseek. On the daily chart, the MACD remains above the signal line, maintaining a buy signal, which suggests further attempts to rebound are likely. Additionally, today’s FOMC meeting and major corporate earnings reports will be pivotal in determining whether the downward gap created on Monday will be filled. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD is attempting a golden cross after the sharp drop and subsequent rebound. If the golden cross is not confirmed and the index falls again, it may test the double-bottom level, so caution is advised when chasing a buying position. However, if the golden cross is confirmed, it would be advisable to adopt a buy-on-dip strategy, as buying momentum remains strong. Today’s primary strategy should be selling at the 5-day moving average resistance level, making it advantageous to sell at resistance areas near the 5-day line. With strong upward momentum and potential pre-market consolidation due to economic data announcements, a box-range trading approach would be ideal. OIL Oil closed higher, encountering resistance near the $74 level. The daily chart shows that the 240-day moving average acted as support, with a bullish candle forming as oil prepares for another rebound attempt. The MACD still signals a sell trend, but consistent buying efforts could continue. As mentioned earlier, even if oil rises, it’s likely to face pullbacks at certain levels. On the 240-minute chart, a buy signal has been confirmed, with a double-bottom pattern forming alongside a lower shadow, indicating a favorable buy-on-dip strategy. If a strong rebound occurs, prices could rise to the 10-day moving average around $75.50. Selling positions should be avoided for now, with a focus on buy-on-dip strategies. Additionally, be mindful of price volatility due to today’s inventory report. GOLD Gold closed higher, supported by the 10-day moving average on the daily chart. The MACD and signal line on the daily chart still show separation, and gold has recovered both the 3-day and 5-day moving averages, making a buy-on-dip strategy effective. For April contracts, it is crucial to see whether gold can break above $2,815 on the weekly chart and form a bullish candle. Be cautious of increased volatility in gold prices resulting from today’s FOMC meeting outcomes. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD is on the verge of a golden cross. If gold fails to see additional significant gains, the price could form the right shoulder of a head-and-shoulders pattern. If the MACD fails to build further upward momentum and starts to fall, a third wave of selling could occur, so keeping this scenario in mind is advised. The clear trend will likely be determined after today’s FOMC meeting, so monitoring gold’s movement after the announcement will be key. ■Trading Strategies for Today NASDAQ - Range-bound Market -Buy: 21,520 / 21,475 / 21,410 / 21,375 / 21,290 -Sell: 21,610 / 21,700 / 21,770 / 21,900 OIL - Range-bound Market -Buy: 73.65 / 73.10 / 72.60 -Sell: 74.60 / 75.00 / 75.50 / 76.00 GOLD - Bullish Market(April) -Buy: 2,791 / 2,787 / 2,783 / 2,775 -Sell: 2,804 / 2,809 / 2,821 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

2025-01-28 - priceactiontds - daily update - nasdaqGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: Bulls won the decision again and we are on our way to close the gap to 21900 and likely print 22k again. It would be a huge surprise if the gap would stay open. Tomorrow is FOMC and it could be good for a huge surprise to either side. No matter what, I will be flat going into it. Decent looking bull wedge up now and I expect a better pull-back to maybe the 1h 20ema before we can have more upside tomorrow. Dips should stay above 21400. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 21400 - 22000 bull case: Bulls took control again after the nasty bear trap on the US open. They are once again in full control and their next targets are 21700, gap close to 21900 and then obviously 22k. The breakout retest is 21420 and any pull-back should stay above or this could become something else. Invalidation is below 21400. bear case: Bears sold the double top 21420 for a decent 200+ point sell-off but bulls were having none of it afterwards. Bears had to give up and we are on our way up again. Best bears can hope for is to scalp 50-100 points on new highs. Bears really have nothing here. Jpow could help but until then I expect market to trade much higher already. Could this move up become a lower high below 22000 or could the gap to 21900 stay open? Obviously yes but for now the buying is strong and I don’t want to hold swing shorts when bulls are in full control again. No matter how amazing the selling on Monday was. Invalidation is above 21900. short term: Bullish on pull-backs. Bears fumbled it again and next target is the gap close to 21900. medium-long term - Update from 2024-01-27: High’s are most likely in. Any short with stop 22200 is good. I’d like to see 20000 over the next 2-3 weeks. current swing trade: None trade of the day: Buying the bear trap around 21200 once it turned violently to the upside. Market could not get below 21100 which was a warning to the bears, that we are printing higher lows after higher highs.

NQ: 129th trading session - recapTook a short today 4min into the market open - winning trade. Although I was "wrong" (again I never set a specific bias) with the assumption of price pushing down further, I was right in my prediction. Price actually pushed down with a lot of momentum, just not far enough for it to actually have been a continuation. But whatever, I shorted, NQ dumped, and a while later it recovered. I took my profit at a 3RR target, as always: Once price hits my 1.5:1RR: I set my SL on breakeven. Later a good range accumulated, I didn't take any trades tho. I won't trade the opening tomorrow, I'll watch the aftermath tho.

NQ Longs Price Action & Trend: Identify the trend (uptrend, downtrend, or consolidation). Find support and resistance levels (e.g., a bounce off 13,000 could be a potential long entry, with resistance at 13,500). Technical Indicators: Moving Averages (MA): Bullish if price is above the 50-period and 200-period MAs. Look for a Golden Cross (50-period MA crossing above 200-period). RSI: Between 40-60 is ideal, indicating room for upward movement. MACD: Look for a bullish crossover (MACD line above the signal line). Volume: Higher volume on upward moves confirms strength in the trend. Broader Market Conditions: Watch the S&P 500 and Dow Jones for correlations with NQ. Strong performance in tech stocks like Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon can drive NQ higher. Macro Economic Factors: Keep an eye on key economic reports and earnings season, as these can significantly impact the market. Stay Active on the charts

bloodbathNASDAQ (Left) Elliott Wave Pattern: A possible Elliott Wave pattern is seen with an impulse and correction structure. Wave X appears to be a resistance point where the price has bounced down. Key Zones: Resistance: 21,433.1 (point X) Support: 20,150.6 (point W) Zone of Interest: 19,912.6 (point Y) Analysis: The price has touched the resistance at 21,433.1 and has pulled back. If the price breaks this level, it could signal a continuation of the bullish movement. However, if the price fails to overcome this resistance and falls again, it could look for support at 20,150.6 or even lower at 19,912.6. NQ (Right) Elliott Wave Pattern: Similar to the NASDAQ, a wave pattern is observed with an impulse and correction structure. Point X again acts as resistance. Key Zones: Resistance: 21,571.75 (point X) Support: 20,819.25 (point W) Zone of Interest: 20,307.25 (point Y) Analysis: The price has touched the resistance at 21,571.75 and has turned down. If the price breaks this resistance, it could indicate a strong bullish movement. If not, the price could look for the support at 20,819.25 or continue to move down towards 20,307.25. Trading Idea on TradingView Trading Strategy: NASDAQ: Long Entry: If price breaks and closes above 21,433.1 with significant volume, it could be a signal to go long, looking for an initial target at the next resistance. Short Entry: If price fails to break 21,433.1 and shows signs of reversal, a short entry could be considered with a target towards 20,150.6 or 19,912.6. NQ: Long Entry: A close above 21,571.75 with volume confirmation would be a signal for a long position, targeting the next resistance. Short Entry: If price fails to break 21,571.75 and starts to decline, a short entry could be viable with targets at 20,819.25 or 20,307.25. Risk Management: Stop Loss: For long entries, place a stop loss below the last significant support. For short entries, above the last resistance. Take Profit: Adjust according to the identified support and resistance levels.
