Weekly and Monday analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNASDAQ
NASDAQ closed lower, finding support at the 5-day moving average. Last Friday unfolded as expected, with a correction to the 5-day line being part of the wave pattern, making a sell-oriented approach the best strategy for the day. The downward wave emerged in the afternoon rather than during the pre-market, resulting in extended consolidation. On the weekly chart, it formed a bullish candle, reaching the upper range of the box zone; however, the MACD has yet to fully cross above the signal line.
This week, the area between the 3-day and 5-day moving averages (20,800–20,600) could act as a short-term pullback buying zone. If this area fails to hold and prices close lower with a bearish candle, the market might revert to maintaining a wide-ranging box zone. Therefore, it's crucial to close the week with a bullish candle to confirm a buy signal.
On the daily chart, the MACD and signal line are positioned above the zero line, indicating that buying pressure could persist. However, the Bollinger Bands are narrowing, suggesting that significant additional surges are unlikely. A short-term correction perspective is advisable. If prices fail to decisively break above the 3-day moving average near 21,950, a correction to the 10-day moving average should be considered.
The 240-minute chart shows the emergence of a long bearish candle forming a double top. If Friday’s low at 21,844 is breached, there’s a strong likelihood of filling the gap created on January 22. The MACD and signal line still show a significant gap from the zero line, so there could be support and a rebound at the lower levels. In summary, while a short-term sell perspective is advisable, buying opportunities could emerge near the gap-filling zone around 21,700 during pullbacks.
OIL
Oil closed higher at $74, finding support and forming a bullish daily candle for the first time in six trading sessions. This bounce establishes a foothold at the key support level of $74. On the weekly chart, prices found support at the 5-day moving average. Although the MACD has crossed above the zero line, the signal line is still slightly below it.
If a bullish candle forms this week, it will confirm a buy signal on the weekly chart, favoring buy-oriented strategies. On the daily chart, prices could rise again, finding support at the 20-day moving average. However, the sharp downward angle of the recent decline from $79 and the ongoing sell signal from the MACD indicate that any rally may face resistance and pullbacks.
If prices rebound to the $77–$78 range, there is a high probability of a pullback. The $74–$79 range is likely to hold, with a period of consolidation allowing moving averages to converge. On the 240-minute chart, bullish divergence is forming near $74, and the MACD is on the verge of generating a buy signal. A buy-oriented strategy on pullbacks is advisable.
GOLD
Gold closed higher with an upper shadow on the daily candle. On the weekly chart, prices reached the upper Bollinger Band. The MACD, however, has yet to achieve a golden cross above the signal line, keeping the sell signal intact. A strong rally with a long bullish candle would be required to confirm a buy signal.
If additional upward momentum fails and prices start to decline, the MACD may turn downward again. The current gap between the MACD and signal line suggests that an immediate buy signal might not be achievable. On the daily chart, buying pressure remains strong, and as long as the 10-day moving average holds, a one-way buying trend is likely.
On the 240-minute chart, resistance is evident at higher levels, and divergence in the MACD could occur. It’s advisable to avoid chasing prices higher. Given the staircase-like upward movement, a buy-oriented approach on pullbacks is recommended.
This Week’s Key Events:
FOMC meeting (Wednesday)
Tesla and Meta earnings reports (Wednesday)
Apple earnings report (Thursday)
Expect heightened volatility on Wednesday and Thursday. Good luck with your investments this week!

21500 revisit this area is area where volume existsWith central oscillators at resistance and overbought levels, this could be a retrace by 5% to 21550 or around that area. The only lack of confirmed bearish sentiment is MACD and H.A. Otherwise, the chart patterns could form a plot to continue higher to the 22000 mark, but that comes after a much-needed break.
NQ ShortsThis is a stripped down version of my analyses due to a Non Disclosure Agreement in place (enigma)
I am short for next week on Monday, I have reasons to believe price will not re-sweep the top and we have a clear target lower based on the Daily Timeframe
NQ: 127th trading session - recapToday was rather uneventful largely due to really ugly price action, but also cause of PMI news at 3:45pm. That time is actually the worst since when I do get a setup I can't really take it cause news will fuck it up. OR, I get a setup the moment news hit, making my setup yet again invalid. I mean I don't really mind tbh, the chance of getting a setup is pretty low, I don't get that many in a month, usually like 1-4.
Been a good week, only really had 2 real sessions tho, bit sad.
See y'all next week.

NQ TGIF TGIF Setup targeting 0.2 and the quadrants within the 0.2-0.3. Partials and PT hit, leaving a runner.
NQ Range (01-21-25)Basically we are 2 weeks into 2025 and 2 weeks until month end. The games have not changed and are still working, just fine. The battle continues to be between the Overnight (O/N) and Regular Session price action. O/N moves up and Reg Session is sideways to lower (struggling lower). Yellow arrow is 12/18 and a Reg Session route. This was after 11 trading days with O/N PA used to lift, then the 2 hour Reg Session drop erased the lift. Yellow circle is drop in Reg Session (struggling lower). This U Turns into the channel up of TLX 758 (all O/N PA). I just feel we will see another 12/18 move around the corner. The 18th was 1,000 point drop (Do I hear, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500...). YTD Open is 21,250, you can see we are rotating around, TLX's above and below, White Arrow is breakout long (needs to pass TLX) and Yellow is Short. 21,200 & 20,200 are 2 U Turn Zones, we just saw 21,200 do exactly that. Back under will try lower zone and maybe that is the 1,000 point 1-2 move that is on its ways mostly likely in a Reg Session.

Good luck with Nasdaq on Friday 25.01.24Hello, this is Greedy All-Day.
Today’s analysis focuses on the NASDAQ.
Breakout Analysis
Chart:
The ascending trendline broke shortly after the Asian session ended and just before the European session began.
Buy Perspective: None.
Sell Perspective: Although the trendline broke, the current market conditions suggest a need for a different interpretation.
At this point, as the entry and stop-loss levels are near breakeven, it’s advisable to exit and observe further movements.
Net Result: Zero profit for both buy and sell positions.
Daily Chart Analysis
Chart:
The daily chart shows the NASDAQ tested the support at the orange supply zone and closed as a bullish candle on 25.01.23.
Key Observations:
The next resistance zone is the green box, above the blue box supply zone.
A breakout attempt on 25.01.22 failed at 22093.5, which is just below the previous high at 22111.25 from 24.12.26.
The daily chart from 25.01.23 indicates a tightening range with higher lows and lower highs. However, no clear directional breakout has occurred yet.
Current Movement
Chart:
The current price action suggests a pennant formation after the breakout above the red box.
The breakout direction will determine the next major move.
Until then, observing the market from the sidelines appears to be the safest approach.
Trading Strategy
Buy Strategy
Entry 1: Breakout above the purple box & red resistance trendline.
Entry 2: Breakout above the green box high at 22111.25.
Additional Notes:
If the pattern breaks upward and surpasses the purple box, the first resistance is 22093.5, with the major resistance at 22111.25.
While resistance near the major zone could result in pullbacks, a strong upward momentum is possible, particularly as past breakouts have led to sharp rallies.
Reference Chart:
Sell Strategy
Entry: Break below the ascending trendline and 21854.50.
Additional Notes:
Despite occasional breakdowns of the ascending trendline, the market has frequently rebounded afterward.
The primary bearish argument is the failure to break through major resistance.
For a more conservative approach, enter short positions only if the support at 21854.5 (the daily support from 25.01.23) fails.
Reference Chart:
Conclusion
The Asian markets will observe a week-long holiday starting next week:
Korea: Closed from Monday.
China: Closed from Tuesday.
Hong Kong: Closed from Wednesday.
This will likely result in reduced trading volume.
With no major news today, the probability of a bearish reversal seems low.
If no significant catalysts emerge, there’s a chance the market will push higher by the close of the session.
Great work this week! Let’s finish strong. Fighting! 🚀

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNASDAQ
The NASDAQ closed higher, supported by the 3-day moving average on the daily chart. After a recent surge, it has reached the upper Bollinger Band, with both the MACD and signal line crossing above the zero line, confirming a buy signal. However, due to the sharp rally, there is potential for a pullback today. If the price retraces to the 5-day moving average, it could consolidate within a range, allowing moving averages to converge.
Should the NASDAQ fall further, the key question is whether it will fill the gap near 21700. If the gap remains unfilled and the price breaks higher, the daily buy signal would stay intact, potentially accelerating bullish momentum.
On the 240-minute chart, the sell signal remains active despite a rebound. Selling at higher levels is preferable, while watching if the MACD avoids falling below the zero line and instead forms a golden cross with the signal line. Focus on dip-buying and selling at resistance, keeping the potential for a pullback to the 5-day moving average in mind.
CRUDE OIL
Crude oil closed lower, falling below the $75 level. It ended near the midpoint of the large bullish candle from January 10 ($74.66) after further downside pressure. This week’s decline reflects President Trump’s push to lower oil prices.
Currently, crude is near the 20-day moving average and within the $74–$75 support zone, which aligns with the weekly 5-day moving average. This area is suitable for swing trading and dip-buying strategies.
On the daily chart, the MACD has crossed below the signal line, creating a short-term sell signal. However, the significant divergence from the zero line suggests that crude may consolidate with bullish candles before attempting another upward move.
On the 240-minute chart, the MACD has not yet formed a golden cross with the signal line, but selling pressure has weakened significantly. If a golden cross occurs, a strong rebound could follow. Avoid chasing shorts and focus on buying dips at key levels.
GOLD
Gold rebounded from key support levels, closing flat with a lower wick on the daily candle. The daily chart shows that bullish momentum remains strong, making dip-buying at major support levels the preferred strategy.
Gold touched the upper Bollinger Band on the weekly chart before pulling back, indicating that a clear trend may not emerge until next week.
On the 240-minute chart, a sell signal formed at the recent high, with the MACD divergence leading to a sharp decline. While the price is recovering, the sell signal remains active, increasing the likelihood of another pullback.
Gold appears to be consolidating within a range, building energy for the next leg higher. Today, focus on box-range trading with selling at resistance and buying at support. Be mindful of major economic data releases before the main session, and manage risks carefully. Best of luck with your trades, and have a successful end to the week!

Bizarre NASDAQ Movements 25.01.23Hello, this is Greedy All-Day.
Today’s analysis focuses on the NASDAQ.
Wednesday’s Analysis Results
Chart:
Buy Perspective:
No buy signals were provided.
Sell Perspective:
The first signal for a sell was the break below the ascending trendline, as mentioned earlier.
After the Asian session ended on 25.01.23, the ascending trendline was broken, triggering a sell.
The price dropped by approximately 71 points after the breakdown, yielding a $1,400 profit per contract.
Following Up on Yesterday’s Setup
Chart:
The rising wedge pattern did not fully complete. Instead, the NASDAQ created a new trend in the red box, pushing even higher than the previous pattern.
It eventually re-entered the pattern but has not yet confirmed a full breakout.
A more conservative trading approach would be to wait for a break below the blue zone to confirm a trend reversal.
NASDAQ on the 4-Hour Chart
Chart:
As previously noted, the NASDAQ broke above the upper boundary of the orange box, rallying to 22093 (near the next supply zone’s upper boundary) before a pullback began.
The uptrend remains intact for now.
However, there are some red flags:
The NASDAQ’s momentum appears to weaken, as corrections are becoming more prominent during the end of the U.S. session and in the Asian + European sessions.
Daily Chart Analysis
Chart:
On the daily chart, the current candle is an inside bar following three consecutive bullish candles.
Key Levels:
Resistance: ~22000
Support: ~21806
How today’s daily candle closes will likely play a critical role in determining the market direction for the rest of the week.
Today’s Trading Strategy
Chart:
Buy Recommendation:
None.
Reason:
The price has risen significantly, and it seems prudent to observe the market for now.
While the uptrend is still intact and the price could continue higher without offering clear entries (as seen yesterday), preserving your capital is just as important as making profits.
Sell Recommendation:
Entry: Upon breaking below the orange ascending trendline.
Reason:
Breaking this key trendline could signal a major shift in the market structure.
If this happens, it’s unclear whether the price will test the purple resistance trendline or if a full trend reversal will occur.
Regardless, entering a sell near the highs offers a favorable risk-reward opportunity.
Conclusion
The NASDAQ has displayed strong upward momentum but also signs of weakening, especially in the non-U.S. sessions.
For buyers: Observe from the sidelines and avoid chasing the price.
For sellers: Look for a trendline breakdown to enter positions near the highs, as this could signal the start of a broader reversal.
Stay disciplined and focused. 🚀
