Hello, this is Greedy All-Day.
Today’s analysis focuses on the NASDAQ.
Briefing Results
Chart:
Buy Perspective:
No buy entry signals were triggered during session.
Sell Perspective:
While the initial blue ascending trendline break could have been a sell entry, the timing occurred outside of market hours (during the Asian, European, and U.S. sessions), rendering the move insignificant.
Thus, the sell entry was based on the extended yellow ascending trendline. Upon its breakdown, the target was exceeded, resulting in a total drop of 325 points and approximately $6,500 in profit per contract.
Daily Chart Analysis (Perpetual Contract)
Chart:
On the daily chart:
Lagging Span (Chikou Span):
The Lagging Span has definitively entered below the candles, suggesting a high probability of a trend reversal.
For a full reversal, the price must break above 21555.
Current Position:
The price is currently at 21016.
The Lagging Span suggests the potential for upward movement toward 21437 on Monday, barring further breakdowns.
Green Box:
Previously acted as a support zone, but the red box candlesticks broke below, creating new lows.
Ichimoku Cloud:
While the price has entered the cloud, it continues to close above the upper boundary, maintaining support for now.
Key Moving Averages:
Without a gap-up on Monday, the daily candle is likely to open below the 20 EMA and 60 EMA.
Major resistance levels are at 21090 and 21440, respectively.
March Futures Contract Analysis
Chart:
While largely similar to the perpetual contract:
The price closed within the Ichimoku Cloud.
Intraday trading on Friday even saw the price break below the cloud’s lower boundary.
Key Levels:
Resistance: 21213 (cloud upper boundary).
Support: 20930 (already broken once, so its strength as support is questionable).
Key Daily Chart Patterns
Chart:
Two notable patterns emerge on the daily chart:
Descending Triangle (Red Lines):
Height: ~6.8%.
The pattern broke downward on Friday, suggesting a potential target at 19594 (6.8% below the breakdown point).
Falling Wedge (Blue Lines):
While this indicates a corrective downtrend, a breakout above the blue box could signal a return to the highs or even new all-time highs.
Both patterns offer insight into market sentiment but require confirmation to act upon.
Monday Trading Strategy
Chart:
Buy Perspective:
Entry Trigger: A breakout above the green box + 21206.
Context: The price has shown resistance at 21206 following a rebound and subsequent decline.
Targets: Resistance levels are marked on the chart; verify specific price points on the chart’s left side.
Key Consideration:
Without a breakout above 21562 (light blue box), the overall trend remains bearish.
Any potential buy would likely be a temporary retracement within a broader downtrend.
Sell Perspective:
Recommendation: Monday may be best suited for observation rather than aggressive sell entries.
Risks: There are no clear support trendlines, and selling on a break of the previous low carries considerable risk.
Conclusion
The NASDAQ is a dynamic and unpredictable market where what appears to be a correction may not actually be one.
Recent declines can trigger panic among traders, but it’s critical to approach the situation with patience and a calm, strategic mindset. Avoid emotional decisions and focus on the bigger picture.
Trade smart and stay prepared for any market movements.
