Market Update - ETH, BTC, AAPL, SPXGood morning everyone! We managed to surf the pullback on SPX and are still holding our short position from February 16th. The next couple of days will be crucial for SPX . The downtrend may be expected to continue, while SPX is trading below the 4030 resistance level, which will be followed by reaching the 3900 support level and then the 3800. However, I will be taking some profits as we may experience a small pump. The movement is reaching the 65 value which is a common area for reversal. For the past few weeks, the volume flow was fully charged on NASDAQ:AAPL and predicted an imminent reversal. We closed our long position from January 6th. This week, we were served with a 4% price decrease. Currently, both the movement and the trend show bearish signs. Breaking below the 144.5 support level would confirm the downtrend but I expect Apple to range between 144 and 151 for a few days. ETHEREUM On the weekly timeframe, the trend is approaching the 0 value. Breaking into the positive will confirm a longer-term bullish upward movement which is great as we are still holding our January 2nd long position. However, we need to pay attention to the movement which is getting closer to the overbought zone. On the daily, we have been experiencing a small pullback last week but tonight was wild and China went straight into bidding mode recovering about 3.5%. Yesterday, bulls protected the 1600 level and we are most probably going to retest the 1700 resistance if we keep the night's gains. BINANCE:BTCUSDT On the weekly timeframe, the structure is exactly the same as Ether. The trend is approaching the 0 value and we are still holding our January 2nd long position. On the daily, while yesterday night's pump recouped much of last week's loss on Ether, it did not happen with the same amplitude on Bitcoin. On the 4 hours. We are still in our February 25th long position, both trend and movement show extreme uncertainty as they have been evolving in the danger zone for quite some time. I am taking profits and reducing my position.

Apple -> Is This The Top?Hello Traders, welcome to this free and educational multi-timeframe technical analysis . From a weekly timeframe Apple stock just recently tested and already rejected a very obvious previous weekly resistance area which was turned resistance once again. You can also see that we are having a bullish weekly ema crossover, however I personally think that we will retest the next support area at $135 before then creating the continuation towards the upside. On the daily timeframe I am now just waiting for a clear break and retest of the previous support zone which would then be turned resistance before I then do expect a next short term impulse towards the downside. Thank you for watching and I will see you tomorrow! You can also check out my previous analysis of this asset:

Nasdaq NQ QQQ - Reality Will Be a Tough Pill for PermabearsNo matter how much you read in the establishment media or in the narrative-controlled and socially engineered Twitter and Discord and Reddit forums about "recession" this and "bear market" that, the reality is that while some individual stocks have certainly been a bear market for well over a year, the indexes are not a bear market. I made the call back at the beginning of November that the Nasdaq would head towards 14,000. The results were that it went up to 12,000 and came back near the lows, and three months has passed. Nasdaq NQ - Unpopular Opinion #2,118: 14,000 is Coming Price action is easy, timing is hard. That's the most significant thing I have enlightened to. But here we are in February after a serious rally, and now that the post-FOMC pump has come and gone, the narrative has become "this is the top" and "the crash is coming." However, just look at the weekly and monthly bars. This isn't bear market stuff. Monthly The literal last five months of Nasdaq futures has been a psychological operation against the COVID-June and COVID-October trendlines and the 2022 low of the year. It's incredibly obvious on the weekly candles Weekly The most notable thing is that the end of the year did not breach the October low, and 2023 opened with a big bounce. This tells us both that the low of the year isn't very likely to have transpired yet, and that we're still far away from a LOY unfolding. Moreover, I've seen posts on Twitter that were tracking the SPX and the VIX against the 2008 GFC, 2002, and even the Dot Com bubble, and the January bullish divergence has thrown out all the prior price action to at least the 1970s crashes. It's time for a revolution in our thinking. What people don't understand or want to understand about the fundamentals is that when the fundamentals are bad, price is often bound to do what's contrary to expectations, and go up. So long as the market makers have time to work with, they will raise the prices and raise the prices for the purposes of selling YOU, retail dead money, the stocks they've held for a long time and bought more of at each successive low, at higher and higher prices in anticipation of the real crash. The secondary effect this has is that while you're told by whoever it is that you're consciously or unconsciously taking orders from that the markets are about to crash BECAUSE RECESSION, FED FUNDS RATE, PROFIT/EARNINGS TOO HIGH, you're buying puts while it goes up. They expire worthless, you blow your account, and some Chad at JP Morgan goes for Happy Hour at 1:00 and wakes up under his car after a prostitute stole his Rolex. Modern human life is total garbage. Return to tradition and find art and family again. What's important about where we're at right now is that Nasdaq has finally retraced to its September CPI dump candle pivot, which it failed to breach, and looks to be setting up a double top after Friday's pullback. In my opinion, we're about to get a very nice pullback that will serve as a simultaneous scare to shake out longs, and also a trap for permabears to leverage their entire accounts on puts and 1.5-3x short ETFs. I'm specifically looking for a dump back under 12,000, which I believe is a long for price action that will take out the August highs by the end of March. If you don't believe that Nasdaq can take out the August highs, then let me ask you a question: Why did the Dow, the most bearish of all indexes, take out the August highs in the middle of December? In fact, the Dow as it stands is less than 10% away from setting a new all time high. After what now amounts to 3 months of market action that isn't going lower combined with the Federal Reserve slowing its rate hikes, ask yourself why you think stocks should go down? The truth is that the markets are going to crash. A terrifying market crash unlike the others has been arranged. But why do you think that the indexes either setting new highs, or doing a 76% retracement to the old highs, or setting a double top at the old highs, is out of the question before it unfolds? Nobody has an answer to that, besides that they think it's out of the realm of possibility, for really no reason at all. What you think can happen has nothing to do with what is actually happening, and this is the fatal flaw of an ordinary person, who only believes in what they can see while refusing to believe in what they cannot see. Once the truth stands before your eyes, it's too late to profit. All you can do is feel regret that you missed the opportunity. Not so bad with the stock market, but when it comes to major things in life, there are no mulligans in the Cosmos. Nasdaq to 14,500 by the end of March is my call. Buy the February dip if we get one and take profit over the old highs. Red Communist China is the Blackest Swan As always, you need to be careful in bullish market conditions, because an enormous black swan exists lingering in wait. That black swan is the Wuhan Pneumonia situation in mainland China as Xi Jinping and his Chinese Communist Party are on the verge of collapse. The CCP claims that 85,000 people (~54/1 million on a population-adjusted basis) have died from COVID since the pandemic began. This is despite the virus being engineered there, patient zero being in Wuhan, and the country being the most populous in the world. For comparison's sake, the US has a quarter the population, but has lost 1.1 million people (3,000~/1 million) to COVID. Even nearby Japan is posting 600 deaths per million people. Is it really realistic to believe the Party has suffered a factor of 60 fewer losses than a country across the ocean? And this is the same CCP that is a lying, murderous regime who has gone so far as to commit the unprecedented crime of organ harvesting during its persecution of Falun Gong. The same CCP that covered up the 2003 SARS pandemic and made it seem to the outside world that barely anyone died. The same CCP that every single human being who wants a future should be opposing with all of their might. If you don't want a future, why are you trying to make money trading stocks? If you lose your future, can you spend your winnings and have a happy life? It's up to you what you believe. An ordinary human has the flaw where they don't believe anything that isn't in front of their face, which is why they like to fall for the lies of establishment media and social media influencers. The wise ones figure it out before the cards turn face up on the river and the dealer awards the pot, though. The fools get stacked and will lose more than just some casino chips.

How to Understand Short-term TradingTo begin with, let's dampen the spirits of short-term enthusiasts who are new to the market. The success rate of purely candlestick chart technical analysis or chasing the leading stocks based on a simple "follow the trend" strategy is around 45%. This is akin to gambling at a casino in Macau and is likely to erode your capital. Short-term trading is a comprehensive skill. Many people have spent a lot of time studying technical analysis, policy aspects, and fundamentals, but have failed to achieve success. Success comes with diligence, but it is also essential to know how to use a combination of approaches. Those who are skilled at short-term trading should understand their own characteristics and find methods that suit them best. When the timing is not ripe or the market is unfavorable, it is essential to face the risk rationally. When opportunities arise, go all out to seize them. Although this sentence is easy to understand, it is not easy to achieve. Many people tend to be eager to recover their losses when they lose money, repeatedly resisting risks and becoming numb to the stocks they are deeply trapped in when opportunities arise. When the market's development and one's own judgment are inconsistent, it is necessary to re-examine the situation. The more critical the moment, the more crucial it is to handle it calmly. A stable mentality is the basis of short-term trading. Short-term trading requires strong comprehensive qualities, including a calm and rational mentality, a good overall perspective, a sound trading system, and belief. The position size of a skilled short-term trader is usually positively correlated with the overall trading volume of the market. When opportunities abound, trade frequently, and when opportunities are scarce, trade less. Technical chart patterns are relatively secondary. The key is to grasp market sentiment, which is difficult to quantify without charts but can be deduced by intuition. Apart from transaction volume, almost no other indicators are considered. Transaction volume is mainly used to observe changes in trading volume and combine them with price changes to deduce the changes in the sentiments of insiders and outsiders. Specific technical details are not particularly important to individuals. Once you understand the general direction, there is no need to belabor the point. To put it in my own words, although short-term trading is being done, we are looking at a bigger picture.

Shopify - It's Bear *and* Bull Hunting SeasonBefore Shopify's 10:1 split, it was trading for $1,800 USD. Notable because it was the Toronto Stock Exchange's biggest stock, trading over $2,000 CAD. This was the kind of stock that all the eyes used to be on. The company processes payments on the Internet and the work from home lockdown glory days are gone. The next time we're all under house arrest will be because the governments want to act like the Chinese Communist Party; the priority won't be keeping people stable and placated like it was in 2020. Things will be scary, and so the fundamentals for this company will never be as good as they were before. That being said, it looks like we're about to head/already heading into what I believe is a tech bear trap before Nasdaq goes big or goes home, a two-sided move which I outlined a few weeks ago: Nasdaq NQ QQQ - Reality Will Be a Tough Pill for Permabears Shopify is something to keep on your radar because, no matter how they file shelf offerings to dilute their share count and how that ought to affect share price because it's a really a function of marketcap, Shopify is the kind of thing that likes to go up and down 10 or 15 percent in a day, and when it does go, it has significantly major upside potential, which you can see on weekly bars: And look, I get it, $45 --> $30 --> $115 is a real too good to be true sort of call, but it's not without its principled rationality. After 179 trading days and 263 real days of consolidation, Shopify finally started to take out highs in the earliest part of '23. This comes after it took out significant long term lows in the October Low of the Year for indexes. These two factors combine to tell you that the algorithms no longer point down, but point up. It's only that there is the risk that the "up" peaked when the stops over $50 were taken and everything is going down for real now. I'm only partially psychic. You'll have to get Jamie Dimon and Ken Griffin to tell you the concrete manifestation of what's going to happen. But Shopify's price action is not that significantly different from what Netflix has done, except Netflix just never bothered to run the bottom and never really liked to go down, and has already gone up significantly. What bears are missing from their doom thesis is this: The markets will crash when the Federal Reserve pivots, not before. It's a "buy the rumor, sell the news" equation, my friends. They've been hiking for over a year, and long term, none of the big 3 indexes are actually bearish on monthly or weekly candles. What people don't realize is that everything is setting up for a situation where inflation appears to be waning and will continue to appear to be waning for the next few months, and it's because we're in winter. This apparently deflationary environment will set the stage for the narrative that leads us to Nasdaq 14,500+. Natural gas, oil, and gasoline will all supermooncycle in the summer because of significantly increased societal demand, and that means food, goods, services all go up too. And in the meantime, the Fed is going to continue to hike at least 25 bps a session. So they're going to hike and hike and we're going to walk right back into big inflationary numbers starting in late May and through July while the FFR is already too high. The Fed won't be able to start hiking 50 and 75 bps when we're already at 5.5% because the national debt is so super bloated thanks to the U.S. socialists spending trillions and trillions of dollars on so-called "stimulus," which really just amounts to raiding the Treasury and the future generations like pirates. And so, the Fed is going to be forced to pivot at the worst time: in the middle of inflation that was worse than 2022, and the two factors combined is what is really going to cause the big gap downs. And the gaps are going to run, because the Fed obviously won't be able to bail out the market this time, so there won't be any hopium for retail to huff. There are other things that can unfold geopolitically around the same time, like the collapse of Xi Jinping and his Chinese Communist Party, Russia defeating NATO in Ukraine, and large scale environmental disaster and significant genuine pandemic diseases that are beyond the control of the globalists and their technology. All of this combines to tell you that the dumpster the bears dream of is far away, which means that much higher prices are coming. It presents a death trap for people who are obediently following Discord signal groups, Zerohedge, Fintwit, and CNBC, instead of thinking for themselves, and an opportunity for the "few" who understand that "The Big Short" is being set up, and that "The Big Short" inherently means a run back towards high levels. So buy this coming dip, don't capitulate, and enjoy the fruit of the moon mission that is the biggest exit pump of all time. Just make sure you get out, take profit, and keep your risk light. You have to keep your eye on the Chinese Communist Party. It's been two weeks since the Lunar New Year and all the resulting travel stimulus from hundreds of millions of people being freed from months of house arrest have finished, and now there are reports that there are multiple significant mutations of Omicron SARS-CoV-2 emerging all over the world. Meanwhile, if you check Our World in Data or the other aggregators, you'll see that the CCP claims there have been 0.00 new COVID cases or deaths since roughly Jan. 6. This is obviously totally impossible. Not to mention the Communist Party is a chronic liar that only cares about its "stability" and isn't one bit concerned with how many people might die as it lies to the world and the Chinese people. All of this should tell you that the pandemic situation is volatile outside of China, and extremely dangerous inside of China. The situation could devolve at any time, and at any time you can be stuck on the wrong side of a gap. What you have to understand about the Communist Party and the globalist factors who have cultivated its methods and ways, who seek to export them globally for the unveiling of the One World Government/New World Order, is that the Specter of Communism's life's work is to destroy your life and to destroy humanity. No joke. Its fundamental wish and its fundamental goal is to ruin each and every person and each and every thing. And so, the test for all of Creation is whether you can evidence, with both your words and deeds, that you don't want the Devil Red, and instead you want to enter the future that is the resurrection of China's 5,000 year-old culture of Heavenly Dynasties. The choice is yours. It's your job to choose. It's my job to tell you these words.

Apple, falling from the tree? Elliott waveIf you find this info inspiring/helpful, please consider a boost and follow! Any questions or comments, please leave a comment! Also, check out the links in my signature to get to know me better! Putting out a Flat vibe here. Need a bounce and impulse up to be valid here. Dump below 145 would be sus for this pattern, not an invalidation but meh. There is some support near by as well. So if it does break below that, would be watching for it to play as resistance if it pulls back to the level correctively. Cheers!

Goodbye $AAPL, it's been a good run. Next stop <$100After earnings yesterday, Apple got it's last in final pump right into resistance, and it looks ugly from here. I think Apple will likely top out at $156-157, testing it's 200EMA as resistance, and if it can't break above there, the future for Apple's stock price doesn't look great. From here, Apple will likely fall below $100 over the next 2-3 years (potentially sooner). I'd become a buyer again at $66 (or lower). Good luck.

Apple | Fundamental Analysis + NEXT TARGETApple has long been regarded as the company that Wall Street despises. Sure, there are many fans of the iPhone maker, but as soon as any unfavorable factors emerge, analysts scatter, with everyone predicting that Apple has reached the end of its growth phase and that its glory days are over. Until the next earnings report, when so-called surprises about how solid its business is unavoidable. For example, iPhone sales fell 8.1 percent to $65.8 billion in fiscal Q1, and Apple's overall revenue growth was the slowest since 2016, and many believe the tech titan's future is bleak. So, where do you see Apple in a few years? Will it, as its critics claim, give up, or will it be able to overcome obstacles and maintain its long-term growth trajectory? Most people still place themselves in the latter category, and here's why. Apple's earnings report was, admittedly, a little disappointing, but not entirely unexpected. Given the consumer electronics giant's supply chain constraints, iPhone sales, for example, may be considered better than they should have been. Due to plant closures in major Chinese cities, Foxconn, Apple's largest iPhone assembler, was under severe pressure, with employees forced to sleep in the factory due to travel restrictions. However, once China lifted the restrictions, Foxconn quickly resumed much of its production, and its January revenue reached a record $22 billion. iPhone sales were likely only pushed back for the March quarter, and production increased again, with CEO Tim Cook telling analysts that production "is where we want it to be right now." While Mac revenues fell sharply in the first quarter, as did wearable device sales, iPad sales increased sharply, indicating that there does not appear to be a widespread consumer demand problem. The main issue is supply, which has, for the most part, stabilized. Despite its problems, Apple was still growing in relation to the industry as a whole, gaining market share while the industry, including the iPhone industry, was shrinking. According to Gartner analysts, the decline in PC sales outweighed the decline in Mac shipments by a factor of two. In fact, it was "the steepest annual drop in shipments in Gartner's PC tracking history." Mac shipments were down 10% during that time period, but Asus was the best PC manufacturer, with shipments down 19%. Apple was the only manufacturer to see growth in 2022. Apple's market share increased from 8.6% to 10.7%. In wearable devices, Apple has a significant advantage over its competitors, with more than twice the market share of its closest competitor. Apple Watch has a 26% market share, while Samsung has a 12% share. Apple's installed base now exceeds 2 billion active devices, more than doubling from seven years ago. In terms of Apple's future, it's worth noting that services revenue for the quarter reached a record high of nearly $21 billion. This division includes the App Store, Apple Pay, and a variety of subscription services like iCloud, Apple TV+, and Apple Music. Last year was a record year for the App Store, with subscriptions increasing 21% to 900 million from 745 million the previous year. And, while service revenue growth slowed to 14% in 2022 from 27% in 2021, that period was part of Apple's and other companies' pandemic boom. Like the supply chain situation, this is simply a return to the mean. Although Apple stock has recovered 22% from its late-December lows, it is still 15% below its August highs. While this implies that Apple was a better buy in early 2023 than it is today, the tech company's stock is still a great business to own – with plenty of growth ahead, whether in three or ten years.

Apple -> New All Time Highs ComingHello Traders, welcome to this free and educational multi-timeframe technical analysis . Over the past couple of weeks Apple stock had a quite nice pump towards the upside, again rejecting a massive weekly previous support zone , so this recent rally was definitely not unexpected. Currently we are quite overextended towards the upside and also retesting a resistance zone ; therefore I do expect a short term retracement but then the longer term continuation towards the upside. From a daily timeframe I am now just waiting for a retest of the next support area from which we could then definitely see the next impulse towards the upside. Thank you for watching and I will see you tomorrow! You can also check out my previous analysis of this asset:

Possible Short for Apple $AAPLNASDAQ:AAPL Taking a look at a possible short/put play here on Apple This is only a valid trade if we can get a candle close below 149.71 If that happens you can set a tight stop above the previous resistance and from there trace the fib levels down where you can also see a gap fill down around 147 Now $AAPL did close above that resistance so this is not an active trade until that 149.71 breaks. could never happen but either way wanted to share how I'm looking at it given we could be in for a volatile week ahead! Good luck out there traders

VPLM Bullish AF- STOCKTWITS STRONG BUY!!! TODASO!I have anchored the FIB from the breakout earlier his year and then included the wick at the top. I have Vwap anchored to weekly and it's nice how all these level have similar confluence. We have a pennant which is neutral but it's also a bull flag as well. The flag pole gives us the extrapolation for a target above. Fib levels, vwap and 200ema etc for lower targets. Not financial advice, DYOR. From Stocktwits History101 Yesterday 7:09 PM $VPLM for all the new visitors to the VPLM board, welcome. I thought I'd re-post some info to get you up to speed (several posts below). Summary: VPLM has been defending its patents against multiple HUGE tech company infringers for 10+ years. Google, Samsung, Tmobile, Meta, Amazon, etc. VPLM has been winning over & over again, in court and at the patent board. It is the 9th inning now, with court dates set for this summer IN WACO TEXAS, a court (and jury) that supports patent property rights. The big boys are in a big bind, and we investors might have a decent shot at some real $$.

Vplm is well into discovery phase so it is only a matter of when and not if source code will be demanded*** ***Apple's own expert admitted in court in virnetx case - on the record - that they use relays to route their calls (imessage, facetime, etc.). This admission will come to bite the apple in the butt*** ***Apple tried to file a patent when VPLM was updating their RBR child patent but they failed to do so before VPLM did. We were first to file at USPTO. Now why did they do this? --> because they wanted to get around infringing. Sorry apple, you lose again*** ***60+ companies have received letters that notified them of possible infringement AND offered them the chance to take a license. This was years ago. Willful infringement equals treble damages!*** ***Apple and others can be brought back into litigation as they were dismissed WITHOUT PREJUDICE***
