Left 1/2 but I feel all it not bullish only here...largish volume getting done in Dax at the top....but if Dow stays aroudn here....it should open up another 25 or so imo...

 

I'd be surprised if it opens above 600...

Right now, imo, ES is at resistance (1275), NQ as well (1825) and DOW... well not so sure...

 

Well done on the longs!

Completely misread today. After Apple news, I reckoned on at least 150 down, now it looks like finishing 150 up.

 

 

same here....was too agressively short easier in the day in the Dow ( not posted)...and just recouped that really in the last hour...

 

These coloured chart bars do stop me from that fatal habit of seeing a rally start and think...."short it" ( well I dont do it as often !)

 

 

tomorrow another day...

Well I wish you best of luck to start with! I do remember those days, but I haven't exactly been doing that well recently, so unfortunately those triple digit profit days seem a long way ago... :\

Going to try and post a daily chart with my coloured bars on...

 

the p = buy and the q = short are independent of the colours

The colour is in real time it changes during the bar if triggered not at the close of the bar...

So the colour change and the 'p' should have told me something down at the lows

 

Have been banging on about it for a while thought I would post a chart...

Only took me 30 mins to do it...

 

Would like to add did not take the short or the long... lol

I dabble in the much smaller time frames... but the charts paint the same..

Looking for a top on this rally, the market snapped around the 11700-11750 level, which I now see as resistance.

 

Looking back at the closest historical previous bear market – in the 1970s when commodities were in a secular bull run and the overlay of current chart on it shows strong similarities – rallies took on a span of around 1000 points. As we bottomed at 10800 this would be a max 11800.

 

The volatility indicators have moved from just over 30 (when we went down to 10800) to just over 21 as at the end of yesterday. 20 and below is considered a good indicator to sell and we are fast approaching.

 

Previous bear market rallies, although they can be fast and furious like this one, have often lasted a couple of months. I don’t expect therefore that we will go straight up to 11700-11800 from here, go sub 20 on the VXO/VIX and start a new down leg. I think we need a bit of consolidation in this upleg first – some pullback before we go up to those levels.

 

Interestingly the next leg of the bear in the 1970s equivalent wiped off 3000 points off the DOW.

hope she plays ball mate - im off the round number at 550, maybe should have taken the 30 or so pips....

 

I have more confidence in the ES to be honest.

 

This area 11500-11800 has little in terms of S/R, what do you think?

Totally, Just playing intraday support here, everything here is airy fairy imo, it could go to 700, could go to 800. 550 showed some support premarket and hence the long.

The Nq made the higher low yesterday but struggling to bust the downtrend line from june, but she came off trumps at 1822-24 so am hoping we fly to the next zone which is 1850.

Unfortunately I played the wrong index....

Inventories at 3.30 should give this a bit of a push...

Not enough evidence imo to mark the top, so far anyway...

    • Date: 22nd January 2025.   Netflix Earnings Surge Driving the NASDAQ to Monthly Highs!   The NASDAQ increases in value for a fourth consecutive day, gaining momentum after Netflix stocks rise more than 15%. Earnings reports are gaining speed for the technology sector, but why has Netflix stocks seen such a high and sudden rise in demand? Netflix Stocks Increase 15% Supporting the NASDAQ! Netflix stocks have been one of the best-performing stocks within the NASDAQ, rising more than 79% in 12 months. However, even for Netflix, a 15% rise in less than 24 hours is considered substantial. The quarterly earnings report was made public by Netflix after the market closed on Tuesday. The earnings report confirmed the following: Netflix beat their earnings per share expectations - $4.27 reported vs $4.21 expectations. Netflix’s revenue surpasses the previous quarter - $10.25 billion this quarter vs $9.82 billion in the previous quarter. The online streaming company confirms projects to expand into live sport and event streaming will proceed. In addition to this, the company’s forward guidance for 2025 remains positive. Netflix is the 10th most influential company for the NASDAQ meaning the positive earnings data and bullish price movement supports the overall price of the NASDAQ. In addition to this, the positive earnings improve the sentiment towards the entire US technology sector. Investors will now turn their attention to the quarterly earnings report for Intuitive Surgical. Intuitive Surgical stocks on Tuesday rose 1.94%. How is the Economy And Politics Affecting the NASDAQ?     The US stock market is witnessing an upward correction after struggling in the last weeks of 2024. The bullish price movement is a result of a sharp decline in bond yields, the new US administration and earnings season. Investors remain relieved that bond yields have fallen back down from the 5.00% level. If bond yields continue to decline further, particularly below 4.50%, the move would be deemed as positive for the US stock market. President Trump took office on Monday and so far the pro-US rhetoric from the President, Vice President and Secretary of State continues to support the stock market. So far, the main concern is how upcoming tariffs can negatively affect inflation and growth. However, some economists advise tariffs will become the “norm” and may have a lesser effect compared to 2018. However, this is something traders will continue to evaluate and monitor. The VIX this morning fell 0.83% lower and trades more than 5.70% lower over a 7-days. The lower VIX indicates a higher risk appetite towards the stock market. If the VIX continues to decline a strong buy indication may materialize. On the most influential stocks for the NASDAQ, 82% rose in value on Tuesday. However, Apple stocks, the most impactful stock, fell 3.19% due to poor sell data. If Apple stocks continue to decline, the NASDAQ’s upward trend may come under strain. In the meantime, investors over the next week will continue to monitor upcoming earnings reports. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis The price of the index is trading significantly higher than all Moving Averages on a 2-hour timeframe and relatively high on oscillators. These factors indicate that buyers are controlling the order book. However, price action also confirms the latest impulse wave measures 3.43% which is normally the point at which the index retraces. This is something that investors may also consider. The retracement potentially also may be triggered by Netflix buyers quickly selling to cash in profit after the sudden 15% bullish surge. If a retracement does indeed form, price action and the 75-period EMA indicates that the pullback may drop as low as $21,391.30.     Key Takeaways: The NASDAQ increases in value for a fourth consecutive day, but price action signals a possible retracement before continuing its bullish trend. Netflix stocks increase more than 15% due to strong earnings data. Netflix beat earnings and revenue expectations by 1.39% and confirmed projects to add live sports streaming to its platforms. The VIX trades more than 5.70% lower over a 7-days and US Bond Yields remain at recent lows. On the most influential stocks for the NASDAQ, 82% rose in value on Tuesday.
