The Markets, the Rabbi and the Goat...It’s funny how sometimes markets react like people in old jokes…
They scream when things get bad, then cheer wildly when things return to how they were — as if something amazing just happened.
Let me tell you one of those jokes.
It’s about a house, a rabbi… and a goat.
A man goes to the Rabbi:
“Rabbi, my house is too small. The kids are screaming, my wife’s yelling, I’m losing my mind!”
The Rabbi calmly replies:
“Bring in the chicken.”
Two days later:
“Rabbi, it’s worse!”
Rabbi:
“Now bring in the duck.
Then the pig.
And finally… the goat."
Now the house is in complete chaos. Smell, noise, no space to move or breathe.
The man returns, ready to break down:
“Rabbi, this is hell!”
The Rabbi smiles:
“Now take them all out.”
A few days later, the man comes back glowing:
“Rabbi… it’s incredible! So much space! So quiet! So fresh!”
📉 Now, 2025 markets
In April, Trump imposed tariffs.
Markets fall sharply. Analysts scream recession. Headlines go full drama.
Recently, “brand new deals” have been announced.
Markets explode to new all-time highs.
Applause. Celebration. “Stability is back.”
But if you read the fine print…
The deal is basically the same old deal. Renegotiated. Repackaged.
Just without the goat.

Nasdaq bull flag forming with a sweet entry.I think we've got a bull flag forming on the hourly on the NASDAQ. I think we need to take out this wick. And I think we come down and take out these stops just above where the red box is. And I think that's a pretty sweet entry before we go to new all-time highs. Um, let's see what happens. Hope you guys can follow.
NASDAQ Index (US100 / NASDAQ) Analysis:The NASDAQ index has shown strong bullish momentum recently and is currently trading near a key resistance level at 23,530.
🔻 Bearish Scenario:
If the price fails to break above 23,530 and selling pressure begins to appear, we may see a downside correction toward 23,350. A break below this level could extend the decline toward 23,000.
🔺 Bullish Scenario:
If the price successfully breaks and holds above 23,530, it could support a continued move upward toward 23,730 as the first target. With sustained momentum, we might see a further push toward 24,000.
⚠️ Disclaimer:
This analysis is not financial advice. It is recommended to monitor the markets and carefully analyze the data before making any investment decisions.
Nasdaq Eyes Record Highs Once AginNasdaq faces pressure as it trades below the trendline connecting the consecutive higher lows from April 2025. However, the latest decline rebounded from strong support at 22,700. Price action has reclaimed the 23,000 and 23,400 levels, suggesting a potential shift in tone.
A clean close above 23,500 is likely needed to push the index toward new highs above 23,700. From there, price may either pull back or continue an extended rally toward 24,000 and 24,400.
On the downside, if price falls back below 22,700, the risk increases for a move toward the previous key peaks from 2025 near 22,400 and 22,200.

Aug 6th corrective phase, bullish trade setup The Nasdaq 100 is a tech-heavy index, highly sensitive to macroeconomic factors like interest rates, tech earnings, and market sentiment. On August 6, 2025, the market is likely influenced by:
• Monetary Policy: Recent Federal Reserve actions (rate cuts or pauses) could drive bullish momentum, as lower rates favor growth stocks in the Nasdaq.
• Economic Data: Employment, CPI, or tech sector earnings reports could impact volatility.
• Technical Levels: Fibonacci retracements, support/resistance, and trendlines are critical for intraday trading.
I entered Nasdaq above the 0.382 level (23,056.4), First target 23400 was reach at approximately 7pm PST the next targets are the 1.0 (23,700)

NAS100 at mjaor resistance area Fib 0.5Price has reached the 0.5–0.382 Fibonacci retracement zone of the recent swing. If the bears are strong, we may see a rejection toward the trendline support. However, if this resistance is broken, a bullish continuation is also possible. Let's see how it plays out.
NSDQ100 Pre US Open Key Trading levelsTrade Policy & Tariff Risks:
Donald Trump escalated trade rhetoric, signaling higher tariffs on countries importing Russian energy, and previewing new tariffs on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals within days. This raises geopolitical and supply chain uncertainty—key risks for NSDQ 100 tech and healthcare stocks, particularly chipmakers, drug manufacturers, and firms exposed to global trade.
Swiss Tariff Dispute:
Swiss President Keller-Sutter is in Washington seeking to lower a newly imposed 39% tariff—highlighting the broader unpredictability of US trade actions, which could fuel market volatility and weigh on investor sentiment.
Ukraine Conflict & Sanctions Outlook:
As the US pushes toward an Aug. 8 deadline to resolve the Ukraine conflict, Trump's envoy is in Moscow. Potential Kremlin concessions (e.g., halting airstrikes) may reduce geopolitical risk premiums, especially for defense, energy, and global consumer tech firms.
Federal Reserve & Rate Policy:
With Fed Governor Kugler resigning, Trump is expected to name a replacement this week. His ongoing pressure on the Fed to cut rates adds policy uncertainty. This could support rate-sensitive NSDQ stocks in the near term, especially growth names in tech, if dovish expectations build.
Takeaway for NSDQ100 Traders:
Expect increased volatility around tariff news, Fed appointments, and geopolitical headlines. Traders should watch for:
Semiconductor stocks (e.g., NVDA, AMD, INTC) under pressure from tariff threats.
Big tech and biotech swings tied to pharma trade policy.
Potential relief rallies if Russia concessions materialize or Fed commentary turns dovish.

US indices paused as fragile macro data undermined recent gains
US equity gains paused amid President Trump’s renewed tariff threats and weakening economic data. Trump warned of steep tariff hikes on India and a potential 35% levy on the EU if obligations are not met. Meanwhile, the US July Services PMI fell from 50.8 to 50.1, missing the 51.5 consensus. New orders dropped to 50.3, while employment declined to 46.4—the lowest since March.
USTEC briefly tested 23300 before breaking below both EMAs. The widening gap between EMA21 and EMA78 suggests a potential shift toward bearish momentum. If USTEC fails to break above the resistance at 23300, the index could decline further toward 22700. Conversely, if USTEC breaks above both EMAs and 23300, the index may gain bullish traction toward 23700.
