Dow Jones Industrial Average relative strength on the riseThe overall US equity market is still having a hard time stabilizing and catching its footing, however, if we examine the major US indices closer we do notice more and more relative strength coming out of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
This past week it never took out its September lows, the MACD momentum oscillator continues to climb aggressively, and on Friday we remained in the top 1/3 of Thursday's bullish engulfing bar.
I started a position on Thursday and will keep a tight leash risk managing it going forward. More notes on the chart.
DIA
Is the bear market over for DIA? $2.388 on the horizon?DIA is one project I've followed for a while now. I did my fundamental analysis and at the same time followed the price closely, making some incredible gains trading intraday.
For those who don't know what DIAdata (DIA) is, it's one of the web3 data oracle projects in the space. You can find more about this project at DIA official website. It's one of the top Chainlink LINK competitors.
A recent analysis I made on DIA shows that the asset could be on its way to $2.388 in the coming weeks to months. It currently trades at $0.397 at the time of publishing this analysis.
On the weekly chart, DIA has formed a descending wedge; in this case, signals a bearish reversal for the DIA asset.
The target is always the top of the wedge which in this case - is $2.388.
Remember, this analysis is based on the weekly time frame and may take weeks to months to finally hit the desired target. There's also a possibility that we make further lows or play sideways before we finally head towards the target.
What's your take on this, I'll like to know your view.
S&P 500 test of 20 day SMACurrent price action suggests test of 20 day SMA after finding support at the bottom of the channel and touch off the 200 week SMA (see my other posts on 200 week SMA). The new bullish counter rally is not really confirmed until it can hold above the 20 day and break the blue trend line. A bullish sign would be to break out, retest the 20 and the trend and then continue back up to the top of the channel. Rinse and repeat until the fed stops raising interest rates.
QQQ WHY THE 258/259 AREA IS SO IMPORTATNT .382 AND 50 % So what is next and why the support at 258/259 is why it is the point of focus in this CRASH . it is a pullback of 50 % from 2020 low to the peak . but more important it is a .382 within the super blowoff that ENDED AT 408.71 RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LONG TERM TARGET 406 TO 410 SEE DEC 2021 .So so many what to jump to the long side as we hit the target in time and targets in price the low was 254.9 just taking out the support but not in the sp almost to the tick it help 3490/3511 . I am and have been counting this as a super cycle top and will maintain that we had wave A from the peak at 408.71 down to the june low .And that we rallied in a perfect abc back up into the major spiral turn aug 16 to the 25 th for super cycle wave B we now have five waves down in wave 1 . I stated in in 8/16 this is the time we will see the market up here before we Crash in super cycle wave C low . wave 2 up has begun but if you think wave 2 up is going to be for a few weeks Think again . in every crash since 1902 the wave 2 of c is so quick you got TRAPPED with the rest the next decline is the CRASH and it will not bottom till 196 to 164 once it starts . So do you feel luck or Smart most of you I know will be feeling Lucky that why I make money and you seem to always which you did not make the mistake that you seem to not be able to stop . That is because I was a New york fireman before starting wavetimer . why does this matter it is the way my brain works I learned from two traders who were one a marine and one an ex navy seal . what do we all three have in common it is the being able to control our fear to stay alive and over come the natural fear of flight .I am no smarter than the next I just process it in a different way . best of trades Wavetimer !
Wave 1 of C is ending 3511/3490 CRASH We have now entered the time frame for the panic low 10/4 to 20th focus on the 10 Th . We have also reached the target 3511/3490 It is my view that being short is not worth the trade . I can tell you I feel rather strong about the 3511/3490 area TO HOLD and lead to what will be the last rally within 2022 time frame . as I posted major turn 8/16/25 in spirals . I am doing the math tonight . I can also tell you my own p/c models on an rsi bases R looking for a rally to relief the model . MY VVIX is still not hit any PANIC levels I stand my we will see 47 in the reg VIX
Will DIA break the downtrend before the end of October?Long term descending resistance showcases a clear downtrend to DIA (as also can be soon on other oracles, namely ChainLink) which meets a 5 month ascending support whith plenty of retests as pointed with the yellow arrows. With the same sort of time frame there's also an horizontal support with decent relevance.
The latest, in no more than 2 weeks DIA price action will have to break out of this triangle.
If the price breaks down it's uncharted territory which is though to quantify.
When it comes to breaking up there are some interesting levels worth exploring.
- the $0.425 level which would mark the most recent local top
- the $0.50 level which goes back to the previous local top, an important psychological level and a previous support and resistance with considered importance
- the $0.75 level amd the $0.867 level are options but not with as much relevance as the following levels
- the $1 level besided being a great psychological level, have also been an important support in the past, which also coincided wth the top of the triangle making it an interesting target
$MULN Critical level to hold Last time I warned you about the coming crash when $MULN was above $0.77 and as you can see it plunged all the way from $0.77 to 0.$52 today
What next? I don't think the support level at 0.52 is going to break fast and i expect a bounce , if you FOMO trader you can just buy at support level and set a SL below this support for swing trade (Risk of 2% high R)
But i think it's better to wait for a confirmation in daily TF.
Anyway, if it breaks the ~0.52 support and closes far below, that could be a bad signal, and I'll update my chart accordingly ..
Good luck everyone 👌🏼🍀
SPX500 / ES - An Ill-timed Bear is a Dead BearThis past week's trading was a good refresher course on what bear markets actually trade like. As opposed to dips during bull runs that suck to short and aren't so scary to go long on because price action continually rips back and makes highs, bear markets will take out a consecutive series of downside lows while terminating virtually each and every rally.
At some point during a good bear market, however, you get that kind of manipulation that comes fast and strong to the upside, bringing in buyers and stopping out and liquidating late bears and greedy bears.
An easy example of this was formed in a miniature on the 1 minute charts of FedEx FDX on Thursday:
It's a risk that all bear market short sellers and put buyers should keep in mind.
When it comes to Nasdaq and SPX, it's important to keep an eye on the clock. We just had an entirely bearish week. And a heavily bearish week prior. With a peculiar form of meltdown on FOMC day after the Fed did what everyone and their dog knew for at least a month they would do: hike 75 bps.
And in response, everything quickly took a run at the June low, and yet for SPX and Nasdaq and the SPY and QQQ ETFs they did not take the June low and even rallied off the June low.
It's like support was found and a double bottom has been made.
But note that Dow did take the June low and also spent some time purging under the pre-COVID highs as well:
SPX and Nasdaq, like last week, finished the week with a fairly strong bounce. The question now, is, do they turn around and take the June lows before the end of the month?
I'd estimate the chances at 65-35 No-Yes, personally.
Consider that this is the final week of trading, a full five days, to form the monthly candle. Consider also that Friday Sept. 30 is also quarterly options expiry. Consider also that timing is more important than price.
A situation we could easily be set up for is a run back towards 4,000 to close month end, forming a monthly pinbar.
Don't think it can happen? It happened in May after making new lows:
On the weekly, it's more painful:
Broken down into the daily, you see that you had a 400 point bounce over the course of 6 trading days:
And on the 4H, there wasn't a whole lot of chance to escape for bears:
And then it turned around and made the June lows, which still stand as the low of the year, if you aren't the Dow.
In my opinion, the truth is that we are going to see SPX 3,400 and NASDAQ 9,xxx in October, and probably a rather ugly month, but rather than a market wipeout, things will likely turn around again after the November Midterm elections are over.
But before we get to that bloody month, you have a week of trading left to paint some hard-to-trade candles, and at least October 3 and 4 where it can still be bullish as the high of the month gets painted before we descend into the near-COVID high abyss under 3,600.
So, what to do? If you decide to go long, it's a scalp, not a hold into a reversal. If you want to keep going short, you need to keep your risk down, or prepare to hold a major move in the opposite direction.
Unless you're patient/liquid enough to keep shorting on the way up.
Of course, just like last week's call, it may just turn around and die, die, die.
SPX500 / ES - It's Still a Bull. Now, Good Luck Riding It
In trading, it's not so hard to predict the future, but it is hard to figure it out down to the day and the hour, so you have to have some expectations about what can unfold in both directions and a plan for what to do when things unfold contrary to your expectations.
Don't get drug into the chaos on social media about recession this and inflation that and Europe this and terminal Fed fund rates that. The U.S. equities market absolutely won't collapse until one, or all, of four conditions are achieved:
1. Everything breaks
2. War
3. Natural disaster
4. Chinese Communist Party falls
The U.S. equities market remaining strong is critical for the Western Communist Party to maintain social stability until technocracy can be installed in the form of Central Bank Digital Currencies and Social Credit under the pretext of a conflict-backed energy and economic crisis.
They need to create a crisis they can save you from, but the window of opportunity to do that is still a ways away. In the meantime, they need to maintain their stability until the opportunity is ripe.
Your western governments have spent years training Marxist-Leninism in Shanghai and Beijing with the Chinese Communist Party. They love the evil Party's ways, because they and the Party have a similar nature. Don't think your governments want to help you and save you.
They believe in Marxism, and Marxism believes in redistribution of wealth, which is a polite way of saying that they'll ruin your life and take your stuff.
If you want a bright future, get rid of this communist and socialist stuff from your minds and hearts and start walking an upright path.
It's the only hope.
DOW JONES - Signal That We Haven't Seen Since the Crash of 2008Dow Jones Index has showed a monthly signal not seen since 2008.
The price action that has currently developed is very similar to the beginning of the 2008 crash. In fact, the next rally (if we get one) can be the final "make or break". See the chart comparison between 2008 and 2022. I'm not a perma-bear nor do I ever like predicting crashes or waiting around for one. However, the technical setup with the current inflation and aggressive FED rate policy can be just what it takes to crush this market.
TECHNICALS:
The monthly histogram has fired negative for the first time since July of 2008 and is also in a volatility squeeze (John Carter...). The squeeze tends to fire in the direction of the primary trend. Yet unless the macro picture changes (i.e. FED reverses course, etc), it appears the squeeze is already beginning to fire SHORT. I'm anticipating another 40% lower from where we are now, that is using the same projection from the crash of 2008.
Now, a lot can change and the macro picture is very different from that of 2008.
A lot of people will buy the next leg up in this BEAR TREND hoping to have nailed the bottom. It will be those buyers who will end up capitulating and puking the market when it catches them off guard.
Word of advice - be very cautious on going "all in" on this next counter rally. The market is in a massive squeeze. (similar theme will apply to other indices)

SPX, Regression Channel shows bounce in the next two daysSPX daily chart with long term Regression channel, 3405 days, with +3/-3 stdev bands. The Comfort Zone is the reddish area located between +2 and 2 stdev, where at least 95% of price occurrences should occur.
This chart shows that the uptrend that started on June 16 failed to break above the +1 stdev line. The mean served as support and allowed a small bounce that failed at +0.5 stdev, retraces and the mean fails to serve as support.
Last Friday it closed at the -1 stdev line. This fact coupled with the extreme reading of some indicators point to an immediate rebound of the SPX. There is too much technical damage on the chart to augur a long life for any rally that starts now. However, we expect the SPX to move higher in the coming days, a trading opportunity.

NFLX, is now the strongest FAANG stock. It should bounce again.NFLX has proven in recent weeks to be the strongest stock in the FAANG family of stocks. It has held above a long-term trendline linking the 2013 and 2016 lows.
Comparing the ratios of the SPX and each of the FAANG stocks, NFLX is the only one that has held above the June 2 high.
This is a short term trade to take advantage of a bounce and then decide according to price action.
We are expecting a bounce in the SPX tomorrow Monday or Tuesday after extreme readings on several indicators. We do not expect a very long lasting rally and when the downtrend resumes, NFLX will probably follow suit as well.
