NASDAQ Bounce - how high??Someone gave me a heads up earlier this week that ChatGPT returned an answer to say that the market will tank on 15 March 2023. While I see it a little more different, I still keep an open mind as a lot can happen in a week (as we know in recent years). So first up, ChatGPT is an amazing quantum leap and it is one of those triggers that form a tangent in our development time line. To me, broadly this is like when Google met Siri/Alexa. That said, perhaps the 15 March is a collation of expectations. Nonetheless, looking into the technical picture for the NASDAQ futures, NQ1!, gives a technical collation of the happenings in the past weeks. Previously, a retracement target was marked out on the weekly chart (faded yellow ellipse). Since then, the NASDAQ made a lower high, and pulled back to the 50% Fibonaccie retracement level and support level about 11,800. And Friday clearly broke out of trend. So, now how? First, we look at the green and red dotted lines. These are the TDST levels that need to be broken to have a trend in force. According to the current TD Sequential, the NASDAQ is still in a bullish trend, and just finished a Buy Setup on Thursday, hence a clockwork bounce thereafter expected (and happened). Next, looking at the range support resistances, we see the green and red rectangles. Breaking out or down with a decisive close and technical alignment (MACD and VolDiv) confirms the trend. Taking into account the MACD and VolDiv, both are retracing, but are not yet bearish. So taken together, we can expect a bounce, which probably just started. Watching the strength of the bounce is critical, and the first check in point is about 12,500. A trend line connecting the last two highs also point to an approximate area at 12,500 (yellow ellipse). Noted, the MACD is weakening, and so is the shorter term VolDiv. So not yet crazy bullish. Overall, expecting a lower high (at this point). And going back to the "15 March", although long range analysis not shown here, it appears that May to Oct is a deeper down time. Will update on this in time...

ROTATION FROM 'GROWTH' TO 'DEFENSIVE' OVER LAST 10 DAYSCHART DISPLAYS LAST 30 DAYS Utilities ($XLU) outperforming the broader market as represented by ($SPY) and growth oriented, tech based, sub-sector ($XLK) over the last 30 days. This has a correlation with an increased 'potential' for instances of heightened, near term (2 to 4 weeks) market volatility. During the recent selloff we can see that the 'bids' did not push the broader market as represented by ($SPY) or the S&P 500 tech sector ($XLK) back over its pre-selloff top. On the other hand, the market did buy the utilities (XLU) back up over its respective, pre-selloff top. (see yellow horizontal lines) So utilities stay bid while tech and the broader market begin to falter. In my opinion this is what a rotation out of 'growth' ($XLK) from the last 6 weeks and into 'defensives'($XLU) looks like from a price structure perspective. I would interpret this as an expression of 'risk off' market sentiment going into 2023. (NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE)

Portfolio Selected Visuals (PSV) vol IThis is a list of my personal portfolio selected ETFs with the simplest visuals, using MACD as the only technical indicator and the trend lines with breaks or breakdowns to give us a new series of PSV charts. ;-) Note that these are using Weekly charts, and a break out is qualified when there is a trendline break out accompanied by a MACD crossover (within a week or two). From left to right... GDX (Gold Miners ETF) qualified a break out on 31 Oct, after a higher low, but sees to have met resistance (red ellipse) ILF (LatAm ETF) is still within a trapped range. XLK (Technology ETF) qualified a break out on 14 Nov, after a higher low, but seems to have met resistance (red ellipse) soon after. GXC (China ETF) qualified a break out on 28 Nov, after a higher low. Appears to have another break out above a resistance line. XLE (Energy ETF) qualified a break out on 17 Oct, after a higher low, but seems to have broke down of support/resistance (red ellipse). INDY (India ETF) qualified a break out on 31 Oct, after a higher low, but seems to have met resistance (red ellipse). XME (Metal Mining ETF) qualified a break out on 24 Oct, after a higher low, but seems to have met resistance (red ellipse). EWS (Singapore ETF) qualified a break out on 14 Nov, without a higher low, and further qualified a better stronger break out pattern on 28 Nov. From this set of visuals, GXC and EWS are the front runners. GDX appears a close third.

NVDA Potential - but....NVDA showing the makings of a Cup & Handle Breakout. It has retraced 78% from high, and has attempted to clear the 78% fib line. However, it is riding the upper band of the Bollinger, which is widening and signalling a consolidation. There is considerable resistance above which might lead to a false breakout and breakdown. I would consider a long swing position only if it takes out its most recent high (black horizontal line) and consolidates the handle tightly.

Anatomy of a NASDAQ interim topAn interesting set of events just occurred in the NASDAQ futures. In early November, the NASDAQ (and most market indices) spiked in a bullish rally, only to find a resistance at about 12,000 in mid-November. It then retraced to test the support at 11,560. While it bounced off the support then, there was a momentary spike down to 11,528. This is the significant low for this consolidation range at the top of the short term rally. The bounce brought it to 11830, where a resistance level was failed. This was then followed by a revisit to the consolidation range support (bottom of yellow box). About an hour ago, a lower low was triggered (red support line) and currently the NASDAQ futures is struggling to keep above the consolidation zone support. Technical indicators MACD and VolDiv are slightly bearish, boding a more likely breakdown. MACD crossed under, and remains under the zeroline. VolDiv is not uptrending, but below its SMA, and looking for a breakdown below zero line. Also noted is the green "BD" where it denotes a Break Down of an auto-plotted trendline support. The price action is a little long to the downside, and has been support hugging. It is likely to have some sort of a rebound, but what happens next depends on whether there is more juice to sustain. A technical rebound is due and appears to be forming up at time of writing. Definitely, is there enough juice to get this to the upper part of the range? The other thing here is that a decisive breakdown out of the consolidation range is needed and appears to be lining up for the later part of the week. This is invalidated IF a technical rally closes above 11850. Wait for it...

bearish rounding top on Tesla forming , short setupcurrently in a 4th way up , however there is a bear flag forming I see. Tesla needs to get over $215, to possibly invalidate the bearish sentiment. Even still, it would also have to breakout above trendline resistances near 220-225. That might be a difficult task. There is also B leg of the previous cypher pattern, that will act as a resistances for wave 5. I'm looking for a short entry above $215.00, if price action fails to get above this level. I'm looking for a quick breakdown below $200... Monitoring for short set up
