US 100 - At a Critical Crossroads The US 100 index shows intriguing price action as it navigates key technical levels. Currently trading at 18,967.2 , the market has formed a clear double top pattern at the resistance zone, suggesting potential exhaustion in the uptrend. Key Technical Observations: The chart reveals strong resistance near recent highs around 19,024.3 , with price struggling to break through this ceiling. Below current levels, we spot a double bottom formation that previously provided support, creating an interesting tension between these patterns. Notable price levels include: - Resistance: 19,024.3 (double top confirmation) - Support: 18,961.7 (recent swing low) - Critical zone: The weakened gap that remains to be filled below current prices Market Dynamics: The minimal +0.02% change indicates indecision at these levels. The presence of liquidity pools both above and below suggests potential for volatility when either side gives way. Trading Considerations: A break above the double top resistance could signal continuation of the uptrend, while failure to hold current levels may see price test lower supports to fill the gap. The tight range between 18,961.7 and 19,024.3 suggests an impending volatility expansion. The market appears to be at an inflection point where the next directional move could be significant. Traders should watch for either a confirmed breakout above resistance or breakdown below support before committing to positions. Final Note: This technical setup presents clear risk/reward opportunities, but requires confirmation before acting. The double top pattern would only be validated by a break below the interim support levels. Disclaimer: Market conditions can change rapidly. This analysis represents one interpretation of current price action and should be verified with additional indicators. Always use proper risk management.

Nasdaq - This Is Still Not The End Yet!Nasdaq ( TVC:NDQ ) cannot resist bearish pressure: Click chart above to see the detailed analysis👆🏻 Over the past three months, we saw such a harsh correction on the Nasdaq that a lot of people are freaking out entirely. However technicals already told us that something feels wrong and this is the result. If we see another -10% from here, buying the dip will most likely pay off. Levels to watch: $16.000 Keep your long term vision, Philip (BasicTrading)

NASDAQ: Stop the noise. Long term investors are buying here.Nasdaq may be recovering on its 1D technical outlook but remains bearish on the 1W (RSI = 37.616, MACD = -451.790, ADX = 38.564) as the timeframe is still under the dramatic effect of the 3 month correction. The market however appears to be finding support a little over the 1W MA200 and may turn out to be the new long term technical bottom as the 1W RSI rebounded from oversold grounds. The last three times that happened, the index rose aggressively. The 15 year pattern is a Bullish Megaphone and every rally inside it obviously gets stronger. As long as the market is holding the 1W MA200, the trend will be bullish and this is the right opportunity to buy for the long term, aiming at another +113.90% bullish wave (TP = 36,000) to get hit towards the end of 2027. ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

Mastering Volatile Markets: Why the Trend is Your Best Friend█ Mastering Volatile Markets Part 4: Why the Trend is Your Best Friend In Part 1 , we covered reducing position size. In Part 2 , we explored liquidity and execution strategies. In Part 3 , we discussed the power of patience over FOMO. Now,we're diving into one of the most important principles of all — especially in volatile, fast-moving markets: Follow the Trend. Trust the Trend. Trade With the Trend. In wild markets like these, everything changes quickly. Indicators print overbought or oversold conditions well before the market even thinks about reversing. Divergences can keep stacking up while the price continues trending for another 300, 500, or even 1000 points. Why? Volatility + Liquidity conditions = Extended trending behavior. When liquidity is thin, and volatility is high, strong trends tend to last longer than usual: Breakouts run further. Breakdowns fall deeper. And counter-trend trades? They're often a fast ticket to losses. █ What Pro Traders Know Better Than Anyone: In volatile markets, trend-following isn't optional — it's survival. But wait, it is obvious that trends aren't perfect straight lines. So how can one even realistically “follow” a trend, especially in volatile markets. Well, the key is to expect the unexpected. Experienced traders trade logically, we expect pullbacks, fakeouts, stop hunts, snapbacks and/or channel breaks. In fact, we prepare for them. It is detrimental to assume the trend is over just because of these moves. Most of these are liquidity traps, not real reversals. █ Here's What Pro Traders Do Differently: ⚪ They Identify the Core Trend Direction Pro traders use price structure, trendlines, moving averages, VWAP , or higher timeframe levels to identify the trend direction. Once identified, every trade respects the trend. Let me explain with an example. → Uptrend Identification: Say you notice that the price of Gold (XAUUSD) has been consistently making higher highs and higher lows. What should you do? You use the 100-period moving average (MA) and see that price is staying above it, indicating an uptrend. You wait for price to pull back to the MA, giving you a low-risk entry to join the uptrend rather than chasing the trend. → Downtrend Identification: In a downtrend, USD/JPY keeps making lower highs and lower lows. You observe the 100-period moving average pointing down. This is your cue to look for short entries , avoiding countertrend buys that could trap you. ⚪ They ONLY Look for Entries at Key Trend Channel Levels Professional traders don’t chase the price or try to catch every move. Instead, they patiently wait for price to return to key areas within a well-defined trend channel , either the upper boundary (in a downtrend) or the lower boundary (in an uptrend). → In an uptrend: Pro traders draw a trend channel based on the price move. When price pulls back to the lower boundary of the channel (often aligning with demand zones), they start looking for long entries, aiming to trade with the trend and target a new high. → In a downtrend: The same logic applies, but in reverse. Price pulls back to the upper boundary of the channel (supply area), offering a clean short opportunity to continue with the trend and target a new low. But here’s what separates pros from amateurs: → They expect fakeouts, spikes , and temporary breaks beyond the trend channel — especially in volatile conditions. → They don’t panic when the price briefly moves outside the channel. Instead, they wait for confirmation signals (like a rejection candle, break of structure, or momentum shift) before entering. → This gives them both a logical entry point and a favorable risk-reward setup — aligning with the larger trend direction while staying protected if the trend fails. ⚪ They Treat Countertrend Moves as Opportunities to Enter WITH the Trend When a countertrend move happens, pro traders see it as an opportunity to enter with the prevailing trend, rather than trying to catch a reversal. → Counter-Trend Move in an Uptrend: Let's say S&P 500 is in a strong uptrend, and it experiences a sharp pullback of 5%. While many retail traders panic and try to short the market, pro traders see this as a buying opportunity at a lower price, anticipating the trend will continue after the correction. → Counter-Trend Move in a Downtrend: For Gold (XAU/USD) , if the price falls sharply from $1,900 to $1,850 and then retraces back to $1,875 (a previous support-turned-resistance level), pros see this as an opportunity to sell into the trend rather than buying into what could be a false recovery. ⚪ They Accept That Trends Can Look "Overbought" or "Oversold" for a Long Time In volatile, trending conditions, RSI can stay above 70 for hours or even days, and divergences can build for a long time without price reacting. → RSI Above 70 in an Uptrend: Bitcoin (BTC/USD) rallies from $40,000 to $60,000. Despite RSI being above 70 for a few days, pro traders don't fight the trend because momentum is strong. Instead, they look for a pullback to the 100-period MA for a safer entry. → Divergence in Downtrend: The EUR/USD shows a bearish trend , but the RSI starts to build a divergence as the price keeps making lower lows. Pro traders ignore the divergence because the trend is still strong. They wait for a clear break of the trendline or confirmation that price has reversed before considering a long trade. █ Summary of Part 4 — Trend is Your Best Friend You can't control how far a trend will run…but you can control whether you're with or fighting against it. And trust me, fighting a strong trend in a volatile market is a battle retail traders rarely win. Here’s what you should take away from this article: Volatile markets = Extended trends Indicators can lie — trend structure tells the truth Fakeouts & pullbacks are normal Don't fight the trend — trade with it Use counter-moves to enter the trend Patience & trend-following = Survival + Profit █ What We Covered: Part 1: Reduce Position Size Part 2: Liquidity Makes or Breaks Your Trades Part 3: Patience Over FOMO Part 4: Trend is Your Best Friend That's it! You've now completed the Mastering Volatile Markets series. Stay calm, adapt quickly, and trade smarter — that's how you survive (and thrive) in volatile markets. ----------------- Disclaimer The content provided in my scripts, indicators, ideas, algorithms, and systems is for educational and informational purposes only.

NASDAQ Trump's 2 TRADE WARS are identical! What you need to knowNASDAQ (NDX) had a massive bullish reversal 1W candle last week as, despite a Lower Low opening, the intra-week rebound surpassed the opening of the previous week. The sell-off reached almost as low as the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) , which has been the Support level of the late 2022 Inflation Crisis bottom and has been untouched for more than 2 year. This is not the first time we see this pattern. In an interesting twist of events, we saw the exact same formation during Trump's 1st Trade War, which bottomed on the week of December 24 2018, near the 1W MA200 as well and exactly on the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level from the Top. The similarities don't stop there as both Trade War periods were manifested within Megaphone patterns. Their sell-off/ Bearish Leg was -25% (now) and -23% (2018) respectively, while the set-up leading to those Megaphones was a +103.50% and +113.50% Bull Cycle respectively. Also both sell-offs got an oversold (30.00 or lower) 1W RSI bottom. So, since NDX has currently completed a -25% correction near the 1W MA200 and the 0.382 Fib with the 1W RSI bouncing off the oversold barrier, it is very likely that we've formed the pattern's bottom, especially if the global fundamentals point towards trade deals. If this Low remains intact, we expect a similar +35% short-term Top at 22500 within a 3-4 month period and then long-term rally near the -0.382 Fibonacci extension at 29000. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Mastering Volatile Markets: Why Reducing Position Size is Key █ Mastering Volatile Markets Part 1: Why Reducing Position Size is Key Trading is always challenging, but how do you navigate today's markets? That's a whole different level. Today, we'll move away from the usual "Trump's tariffs are horrendous" discussions. We'll instead focus on how experienced traders profit in the current volatile market. Right now, we're seeing extreme volatility across many assets. It's not uncommon for markets to move 3% to 10% in a single day , and for indices like NAS100 (Nasdaq), intraday swings of 300 to 500 points can happen in just 5 to 30 minutes. This can seem like bad news, but as Warren Buffet said in 2008, "In short, bad news is an investor's best friend." Volatile markets can shake even experienced traders — but they don’t have to. With 16 years of trading experience , we’ll show you exactly how to approach conditions like these with confidence and clarity. █ Reducing position size is the key to surviving volatility: The most critical adjustment in a volatile market is reducing position size. Why? Because when the market moves faster and with bigger swings, your potential risk per trade automatically increases. The key is to keep your d ollar risk the same — even when volatility is exploding. ⚪ Let's take a look at how position size changes when markets change: 2 Weeks Ago — Stable Market: NAS100 average move per trade = 50 to 100 points Risk per trade = 100 points = $500 risk (for example) Position Size = 5 contracts Today — Volatile Market: NAS100 average move per trade = 300 to 500 points To maintain the same $500 risk per trade → Position Size = 1 contract ⚪ The Benefit: With a smaller position, you can still earn the same profit because the price is moving much more. At the same time, your risk stays controlled , even in these wild markets. This is exactly how professional traders survive and thrive in volatile conditions — by adjusting to what the market is giving them. ⚪ What Happens If You Don't Reduce Size? Let's say you keep the same position size as in stable markets, but now the market moves 300-500 points against you instead of 50-100. Here's how it plays out (example): In Stable Markets (NAS100 average move: 50-100 points): Position Size: 5 contracts Risk per contract: $10 per point Risk per trade: 100 points x $10 x 5 contracts = $5,000 risk per trade In Volatile Markets (NAS100 average move: 300-500 points): Position Size: 5 contracts (unchanged) Risk per contract: $10 per point Risk per trade: 500 points x $10 x 5 contracts = $25,000 risk per trade Without reducing position size, your risk increases dramatically as the market moves wildly. As a result, your losses will skyrocket when the market moves against you. █ Summary: Huge volatility = Smaller position size Same risk = Same profit potential Trade smarter, not bigger This is rule number one when navigating wild markets like the ones we have today. █ What's Coming Next in the Series: Part 2: Liquidity Is the Silent Killer Part 3: Patience Over FOMO Part 4: Trend Is Your Best Friend Stay tuned for the next part — and remember, adapting to volatility isn't just about managing risk, it's about mastering the market! ----------------- Disclaimer The content provided in my scripts, indicators, ideas, algorithms, and systems is for educational and informational purposes only.

NAS100 (15min) – Bullish Entry Activated1. Symmetrical Triangle Formation Price was compressing inside a symmetrical triangle, with a series of lower highs and higher lows, indicating indecision and buildup of pressure. 2. Downside Fake-out (False Breakout) Price briefly broke below the lower trendline, suggesting a potential bearish breakout. However, there was no strong follow-through; instead, price quickly reclaimed the trendline and pushed back inside the structure. This is a classic fake-out, often trapping late sellers and providing liquidity for buyers. The rejection from the lows resulted in a long wick, signalling strong buying interest and failure to break down. 3. Aggressive Bullish Reaction After reclaiming the triangle support, price moved rapidly back to the top of the triangle. The next key move was a strong breakout above the upper trendline, confirming bullish intent. 4. Break and Retest Price action followed through with a clean breakout above resistance, followed by a minor pullback and retest of the broken trendline, which held as support. This retest offered a textbook entry point based on price action principles. 5. Bullish Structure Confirmation Post breakout, price formed a higher low and continued to make a higher high, confirming a trend shift. This structural change strengthens the bullish outlook.

Bearish opportunity if support is broken📉 US100 – Watching for a possible bearish breakout After reaching the key level of 19,151.5, the US100 price has shown weakness by breaking out of an ascending wedge. It is currently testing a dynamic support zone at 18,695.4, just before a liquidity zone marked in red. A break below this zone could trigger a move towards 18,434.1, and in extension towards 18,185.8, if bearish pressure continues. This structure suggests that momentum is shifting in favor of the bears, especially if the blue support fails to sustain the price. 🧠 Action plan: Monitor a breakout with volume and a bearish structure to seek short entries with appropriate risk management.
