Double Top Pattern – A bearish reversal signalThe Double Top is one of the most well-known bearish reversal patterns in technical analysis. It signals a potential trend change from bullish to bearish and can provide traders with strong shorting opportunities when confirmed. How It Works: 1- Formation: The price reaches a resistance level twice, failing to break higher, creating two peaks at a similar level. 2- Neckline Break: After the second peak, the price falls to the previous support level (neckline). If this level is broken, it confirms the pattern. 3- Bearish Confirmation: A breakdown below the neckline often leads to a strong downward move, as buyers lose control and selling pressure increases. Key Trading Strategy: ✅ Entry: Enter a short position once the neckline support is broken. ✅ Stop Loss: Set above the second peak to minimize risk. ✅ Profit Target: The expected price drop is usually the same distance as the height of the pattern (from peak to neckline). In the chart above, we can see a clear Double Top formation in the NASDAQ 100. After failing twice at resistance, the price broke support, confirming a bearish trend reversal.

Monthly, Weekly and Monday analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed higher, finding support at the lower Bollinger Band on the weekly chart. Due to the sharp decline last week, the 20,500 to 20,300 range was a technical rebound zone. On the monthly chart, February closed with a bearish candle, bringing the index below the 5-day moving average and forming a range with the 10-day MA. For March, the 3-day and 5-day moving averages will act as resistance, while the 10-day MA serves as support. Since the monthly MACD is still above the signal line, even if corrections occur this month, rebound potential remains, meaning traders should be cautious about chasing shorts aggressively. On the weekly chart, the Nasdaq fell below the 20-week MA, accelerating the sell-off. The MACD continues to slope downward, keeping further downside potential open, but since the signal line is still above zero, the index may consolidate between the 3-week and 5-week moving averages, making a range-bound strategy effective this week. On the daily chart, both MACD and the signal line have dropped below zero, confirming a bearish market structure. The 21,000 level was broken decisively with a large bearish candle, meaning that if price struggles to reclaim this level, further downside toward the 240-day moving average is possible. If the Nasdaq falls to the 240-day MA, traders should prepare for a potential technical bounce, as historically, this level has provided support. Reviewing moving average dynamics could be helpful for understanding this scenario. On the 240-minute chart, Friday’s low produced a strong rebound, making the MACD's potential golden cross a key signal to watch. As long as the recent lows hold, buying opportunities may exist, but since the signal line remains far above zero, selling pressure may persist on any rallies. Traders should avoid chasing long positions and focus on range trading. This week, traders should keep an eye on China’s National People's Congress (NPC) on Tuesday and the U.S. Employment Report on Friday, as both events could increase market volatility later in the week. Crude Oil Crude oil closed lower within a narrow range, continuing its sideways movement. On the monthly chart, February closed with a bearish candle, causing the MACD to turn downward while still maintaining a range-bound structure. Although the MACD and signal line remain above zero, buyers are still attempting to hold support within this range. For now, oil should be traded as a large range-bound market. On the weekly chart, last week’s doji candle suggests indecision, and this week, the MACD has crossed below the signal line, triggering a sell signal. However, since a weekly close is needed to confirm this, the possibility of a trend reversal remains open. If oil continues lower this week, the sell signal will be fully confirmed, but if price rebounds, last week’s doji candle could mark a reversal point. Key bullish catalysts include Trump’s potential tariffs on Canada and Mexico, as well as the possibility of stricter oil sanctions on Venezuela. Meanwhile, bearish factors include economic slowdown fears reducing oil demand. On the daily chart, breaking above $70 remains the key bullish trigger, but since the MACD has yet to form a golden cross, confirming an end to the downtrend is premature. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD has formed a golden cross, indicating a potential recovery after a pullback. For now, traders should buy dips cautiously, but breaking above $70 remains the key factor for further upside confirmation. Gold Gold closed sharply lower, forming a large bearish candle. On the daily chart, gold has fallen from previous highs to the lower Bollinger Band, meaning that additional downside (overshooting below support) remains possible. On the monthly chart, gold formed a doji candle, indicating uncertainty. If gold found support at the 3-day MA last month, this month, traders should watch for support at the 5-day MA, as it could provide a buying opportunity on pullbacks. On the weekly chart, gold has fallen to the 5-week MA, meaning that it has entered a range-bound structure. Since the lower support levels are still open, traders should avoid chasing long positions at highs and focus on buying lower. The U.S. Employment Report is due on Friday, which could increase volatility for gold. On the daily chart, while the MACD is declining, the signal line remains well above zero, meaning that even if prices fall, rebound attempts are likely. On the 240-minute chart, further downside toward the 240-day moving average remains possible, but traders should watch for bottoming signals and potential support. If the MACD forms a golden cross, a strong rebound could follow, so monitoring short-term momentum shifts will be key. February marked a transition to a range-bound market after an extended uptrend, suggesting that March could be a period of consolidation or further downside extension. Geopolitical risks have increased since Trump took office, and market volatility is rising due to key global events. Traders should focus on risk management and avoid overexposure. Wishing you a successful start to March! 🚀 If you like detailed this analysis and today's strategy, please follow me and give it a boost!

#202509 - priceactiontds - weekly update - nasdaq e-miniGood Evening and I hope you are well. comment: My line in the sand for bears was 20600 and bears actually got there but the very bullish close on Friday destroyed many bear hopes. Biggest question for Monday is now, does the bear channel hold or will we strongly break above to test the highs again? I don’t know and that’s when I will lean neutral. Both sides have reasonable arguments and the bear channel is valid until clearly broken but Friday’s close was special. 20900 is probably a bad place to trade and I will be cautious on Monday. There are multiple bigger patterns we are currently in. Most recent is the tight bear channel down from last week, which would be broken above 21100. Then we are also inside an expanding triangle on the daily tf where the upper trend lines goes through the ath 22450. On the weekly tf I have two bull trend lines and both could be right or wrong, you never know. The lower one runs a bit below 20000 and that is obviously a magnet market will test over the next days or weeks but I have no idea if we do another leg up first. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 21000 - 22500 bull case: Bulls have probably seen enough selling and Friday’s close showed some strength that they want more exposure again. Their first target is 21000 and then break above the bear channel from last week, which would be above 21100ish. Next targets are then the mid point around 21500 and then likely no more resistance until 22000. Bullish ABC move on the chart, which would be my preferred path if we close above 21200 on Monday. Invalidation is below 20400. bear case: Bears want to see this as a W1 and get at least another strong leg down or even a third one. What are the odds of that? The last strong selling we had was 2024-07 where nq dropped for 16% over 5 weeks. So a long time ago where we did not correct for 10% or more. Right now we are down 8% in two weeks, which is the strongest selling we have seen in the past 7 months. Bears certainly would have a bit more room to the downside to touch 20000 or a bit lower to hit the bull trend line around 19800 (depending on how you draw it). I’m just having a really hard time believing this is more likely than a trade back up to at least 21500 since we are still inside the bull trend and two weeks ago we were 130 points below the ath. An expanding triangle is likely the more dominating feature for now. Every dip below 21000 has been bought and selling here has not been profitable for the past 2 months. Invalidation is above 21100. short term: Neutral. Tough spot. Bears could want more downside since the bear channel is still active until we break above 21100. Bulls see the expanding triangle and two weeks of selling with -8% was enough for them to strongly buy into Friday’s close. If 20k is now resistance, I’d like to short with a stop 21410 for target 20500 or lower. If bulls come out strongly early tomorrow, the 4h ema + bear channel could break and we would likely test the highs above 22000 again. medium-long term - Update from 2024-02-23: Neutral since we are in a 4-5 month trading range. Still leaning heavily bearish for this year but for now it’s sideways until we get consecutive daily closes below 20000. current swing trade: None chart update: Added possible paths for both sides. There is a very low chance that the past 2 weeks were the W1 of a very strong 5-wave series down but until we see daily closes below 20000, I have zero confidence in this.

Bullish Outlook going forward for NQNQ has pulled back and taken Feb. Monthly low as well as grabbing some additional liquidity from Nov. last year. I shorted NQ on Thursday for 473 points to my anticipated level of support. I nearly caught the bottom of the market, followed by an aggressive back move up to equilibrium to end the week. Going forward, with the high impact news coming up in the first 2 weeks of March, I see a bullish outlook and the potential for new ATH. Here is an idea of what I see playing out over the short-term.

NQ: 147th trading session - recapI'm posting this again pretty late but it doesn't matter since the markets aren't open over the weekends. I'm excited for the next week: I'm trying my first funded account + I have a 1 week break from school - so I can totally focus on trading, hell yeah Overall monthly recap: - not good, missed trading opportunities and the one's I took were bad. But I'm optimistic, I learned from these mistakes + I'll probably be very careful when real money is on the line.

Mastering Elliott wave theory: Understanding market cyclesElliott Wave Theory is a powerful tool for predicting market movements by analyzing repetitive price patterns driven by investor psychology. The theory divides market trends into five impulsive waves (1-5) and three corrective waves (A-B-C). Let's break it down: 🔹 Impulse Waves (1-5) Wave 1: The start of the trend, usually fueled by early investors. Wave 2: A corrective pullback as traders take profit. Wave 3: The strongest wave, fueled by momentum and broad market participation. Wave 4: Another pullback, but shallower than Wave 2. Wave 5: The final move up, often driven by FOMO before a correction begins. 🔻 Corrective Waves (A-B-C) Wave A: The first decline as early traders exit positions. Wave B: A short-lived recovery as some traders think the trend will continue. Wave C: The final bearish wave, often deeper than Wave A, marking the end of the correction. Three Key Principles of Elliott Wave Theory ✔️ Wave 3 is never the shortest impulse wave. ✔️ Wave 2 never retraces past the start of Wave 1. ✔️ Wave 4 never overlaps with Wave 1. How to Use It? Traders use Elliott Waves to identify entry and exit points, confirming trends with indicators like Fibonacci retracements and RSI.
