Double Top on Tech?Technology stocks had a strong first half but could be ending the year on a weak note. Is the sector finally losing its leadership?
Today’s chart of the SPDR Select Sector Technology Fund highlights the July 10 closing high of $237.68. XLK stalled around that same level a week ago, resulting in a potential double top on the fund.
Second, prices have slipped below October's closing high of $233.73. That stands in contrast with other big sectors like Communications, Financials and Consumer Discretionaries.
Third, relative strength in the lower study shows fading leadership in technology versus the broader market.
We end with a look at Nvidia NASDAQ:NVDA , which has been a major driver of the sector this year. Notice the sharply rising lower trendline and the higher trendline with less of an upward slope. That kind of rising wedge is a potential reversal pattern.
It could also raise the stakes headed into NVDA’s big earnings report after the closing bell next Wednesday, November 20.
Standardized Performances for the ETF mentioned above:
SPDR Select Sector Technology ETF (XLK)
1-year: +35.50%
5-years: +165.61%
10-year: +448.20%

Opportunities
Mercedes-Benz is a globally recognized and respected brand in premium and luxury automobiles, giving it some resilience against fluctuations in car sales.
The company’s strong focus on research and development, especially in electric powertrains, positions it well for growth as clean-air regulations continue to tighten worldwide.
Management’s long-term goals for return on sales indicate that there is opportunity for further growth, suggesting potential upside to valuation.
Risks to consider
The global premium car market is highly competitive, and consumers have many choices, making it easy for them to switch between brands.
The auto industry faces increasing global overcapacity, leading to pricing pressure. Given its capital-intensive nature, achieving strong economic returns over a 10-year period remains challenging.
While Mercedes has maintained good union relations with its German workforce, union influence is substantial, with employees electing half of the supervisory board members. This strong union presence can limit profit margins due to wage demands during prosperous times and work rules that reduce flexibility in manufacturing.
Our recommendation
Since November 2021, Mercedes-Benz stock has traded in a sideways range between EUR 52 and EUR 76. Despite this, the company remains a globally recognized premium and luxury brand. This positioning continues to provide resilience against high sales fluctuations, making it a standout in the competitive global luxury car market. Mercedes-Benz Cars continue to face weaker macroeconomic conditions and fierce competition, mainly in Asia. The company is actively undertaking a share buyback. In Q4 2024 the Mercedes-Benz Group opened Europe’s first battery recycling factory in Kuppenheim, southern Germany. Valuable, limited raw materials such as lithium, nickel and cobalt can be recovered and are to be used to manufacture new battery cells for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This buyback, along with the company’s strong positioning and stock’s trading range, presents a potential buying opportunity with a target price of EUR 76 despite the weak Q3 results. Our recommendation is buy/Average down. Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to research and development, particularly in electric powertrains, positions it advantageously for growth amid tightening clean-air regulations worldwide.
Goodluck & all the best.
Is Bitcoin on the Verge of a Major Crash? Warning Signs Ahead!👀👉 Bitcoin (BTC) has recently surged to all-time highs, but is the rally about to reverse? On the 1M monthly timeframe, a key horizontal resistance level is flashing warning signals. BTC appears heavily overbought, and the trend shows clear signs of overextension.
📉 Using advanced trading concepts like Wyckoff theory and ICT methodology, this video breaks down:
- How historical price action reveals similar overextended moves that led to significant pullbacks.
- Why the Fibonacci tool suggests a potential retracement to equilibrium after a parabolic price swing.
- The lack of smart money accumulation since the last major price breakout, signaling potential vulnerabilities.
🔍 We’ll examine two key scenarios:
1. Bearish Opportunity: If price action breaks structure and takes out existing range lows, it could signal a deeper correction.
2. Bullish Opportunity: If BTC trades into a discounted zone below equilibrium, this could present a strong buy opportunity for longer-term positioning.
📊 This analysis is for educational purposes only and highlights the importance of managing risk in a market known for its volatility. Past performance is no guarantee of future results—trade wisely and always assess your risk tolerance!

AUD/USD Reaches New Low: Technicals Highlight Bearish TrendThe AUD/USD pair has sunk below 0.65000, hitting a low of 0.64529, reflecting a persistent bearish trend for the Australian dollar. This decline aligns with the strong US dollar index at 106.4 amidst robust post-election performance. The RBA's steady interest rate at 4.35% and lackluster employment growth in Australia indicate ongoing economic pressures that may limit the Aussie’s recovery. Meanwhile, anticipated rate cuts by the Fed could introduce USD vulnerabilities, adding complexity to the pair's future trajectory. Traders should closely monitor economic indicators and central bank policies in both regions for potential market shifts.

XAU/USD : CPI is coming, Bull or Bear ?Analyzing the #Gold chart on the 4-hour timeframe, we can see that after entering the highlighted demand zone, gold has delivered a return of over 270 pips so far and is currently trading around $2611.
It’s important to note that today we have the CPI data release, which could significantly impact gold prices. If the CPI figures come in higher than expected, we’re likely to see further declines in gold, and vice versa if the data comes in lower.
Key demand zones remain at $2586-$2593 and $2555-$2562, while important supply zones are $2610, $2619-$2626, and $2643. Additionally, the recent sharp declines in gold have created several liquidity gaps, marked in purple on the chart, which are expected to be filled in the medium term as the price recovers.
Stay cautious and keep an eye on these levels, as well as the CPI announcement, for potential trading opportunities!

AUD/USD sinks to new lows as focus shifts to Aussie jobs dataWhether you’re talking price action or momentum, AUD/USD looks terrible on the daily, taking out the intersection of the US election lows and downtrend support with ease on Wednesday.
Momentum is with the bears; RSI (14) has cut its uptrend like a hot knife through butter while MACD has crossed over from above, confirming the bearish signal. Selling rips and bearish breaks may prove more successful than buying dips in this environment.
The short setup would be to sell here or wait for a potential squeeze towards .6513 as traders anticipate another stellar labour force report – there have been plenty of those recently. That would allow for a tight stop to be placed above the level, providing appealing risk-reward for those targeting a retest of key uptrend support at .6375.
The last time the Aussie interacted with the level during the Japanese market meltdown of August, it resulted in significant bullish reversal, underlining its technical importance. As such, it looms as an obvious target.
Good luck!

What if the USD rally is only just getting started?The USD rally has entered its seventh week and continues to defy its seasonal tendency to weaken in Q4. And that is simply because the macro backdrop 'Trumps' its average performance this time of the year. Today I take a step back to admire the bigger-picture view of the USD index, to show why I think this rally could still just be getting started.
MS
Verizon: Weak in a Strong MarketThe S&P 500 just had its biggest weekly rally in a year, but Verizon Communications didn’t participate. Are the bears moving in?
The first pattern on today’s chart is the trio of drops following the last three quarterly reports. Those may reflect weakening sentiment towards the telecom’s fundamentals.
Second, VZ peaked below $45.55 in late September. That was a long-term low from May 2022, which may suggest old support has become new resistance.
Next, VZ has chopped around its 2023 high of $42.58 but is now below it. That could be a sign of resistance taking hold.
Fourth, last week’s slide below the 200-day simple moving average could mark an end to its longer-term uptrend.
Finally, MACD is falling.

Dogecoin Outpaces Bitcoin with 180% Post-Election Boom. When $1?In a much-wow fashion, Dogecoin DOGEUSD broke out of the pack with a 180% post-election rally. It did way better than Bitcoin BTCUSD . But what’s really behind the speculative gains and is there more room for growth? Like, say, can Dogecoin hit $1? It’s a possibility. Let’s dig into it.
We’ve all heard about Bitcoin BTCUSD — the orange coin that shook up the fabric of global financial markets and rewired how we think about money and investments. But a small yet mighty cryptocurrency is befriending the small yet ambitious trader.
Dogecoin DOGEUSD , the people’s digital asset and Elon Musk’s favorite coin, has posted some howling returns after Election Day vaulted Donald Trump to the top job in American politics. The Shiba Inu-themed coin has soared 180% since November 5, outperforming the big guy Bitcoin with its 30% rise for the same time span.
How did that happen? It’s mostly Elon Musk and his lofty aspirations for Dogecoin. “Supporting Doge wherever possible,” the Tesla boss said back in 2022. Conveniently placed front and center for the meme-loving crowds, this iconic meme token is easy to scoop up in boatloads, empowering retail investors with a feeling of accomplishment. Dogecoin’s price was last seen floating near 40 cents, up from 15 cents before the election result.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, is priced at just under $90,000 , powering higher in a record-setting run, and that makes it look much less affordable and less likely to appeal to retail traders. But looking at the plain price tag is misleading without factoring in the market cap, which shows you how much the token is worth.
In Dogecoin’s case, the 40 cents translate to something big. It’s no joke. Even though the sole purpose of Dogecoin was to be a joke. Back in 2013, Dogecoin was created as a satirical homage to Bitcoin. But if that coin back then had a puppy-like valuation of a couple millions, today it’s a $60 billion unleashed beast that's ready to chew up and spit out your portfolio. It holds about 2% dominance of the overall crypto market cap and it's worth more than Ford F , which churns out annual revenue of $180 billion and boasts a 121-year history.
Now digital-asset enthusiasts, especially the Dogecoiners around, are pinning their hopes on the iconic duo in the making — Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The two billionaires have apparently teamed up for the good of the crypto industry. Long story short — traders are betting on a crypto boom under President-elect Donald Trump.
And Dogecoin might get pulled into the mix. Elon Musk has already openly stated he’d be happy to get involved with politics. But not just any politics. DOGE politics. And it’s official — Trump said late Tuesday he’s tapping Elon Musk to lead a new department aptly called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. The Tesla CEO will be joined by Republican presidential candidate Strive Asset Management co-founder Vivek Ramaswamy.
“I am pleased to announce that the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”),” Trump said in the announcement , posted on his social media platform Truth Social.
The duo is teaming up to “pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies,” the President-elect added.
All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency,” Musk said on his X platform . “Anytime the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know! We will also have a leaderboard for the most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining 🤣🤣”
Given Musk’s unfaltering devotion to Dogecoin, it’s not unrealistic to predict a function for his beloved token in the newly-whipped-up department. In this context, a $1 price tag, according to many crypto faithful, might actually come to fruition at some point in the foreseeable future, propelling the cryptocurrency to a $130 billion market cap.
But with all that hype, it could be difficult to go beyond the chatter and think clearly. And on the flip side, it may look easy to buy a dog-themed coin and retrieve some of those gains you see on the screen. Be careful, though — chasing down that game could lead to Great Dane-gers.
Do you own any Doge? Or are you looking to buy if you’ve missed out on the red-hot beast-mode rally? Share your thoughts below and let’s spin up the discussion!
Gold soybean oil Monday Friday I posted that the goal was likely to go lower because the market Gap lower and even though the market went higher from its low it couldn't close the gap and that tells me that the markets likely to go to new lows even though it might temporarily shows some buying Behavior. that's what it did and it went even a few $1000 lower since the close of Friday and it still might go lower since there's no evidence of buyers even though the market is at a support resistance line. I think the unrealized drawdown from the high is 20,000 or so dollars and that does not make this Market bearish and if it goes lower as I suspect it will go lower.the market is Trading with significant volatility and expansion and that means the market is going to have bigger moves when it moves higher and bigger moves when it moves lower compared to markets that have very little volatility and very small range. I did not address this in the video because the video was on the laborious side.... sorry about that. it satis support resistance line, it has not closed an important Gap lower.... so it could go higher or lower but I think it's probably going to go lower. and a good portion of that analysis is that gold has been so bullish for a significant. Of time..... I think the sellers are ultimately going to push this a little bit lower and this can be very profitable for the smart money because the market is going to take out some of the late buyers who like to trade all-time highs which is a very difficult way to make money because this pattern suggests that a lot of people who were break out buyers are in trouble with their long trades because they got in to late. now if you have a lot of money and you think the markets going to find buyers and make new highs... maybe you can hold out and maintain your long position but if you got into this Market on the Breakout move higher and you're down $25,000 per contract because you were just too late.... it just think how you're going to feel if it goes down another $25,000 before it starts turning and going higher
Dow Jones H1 | Falling to pullback supportDow Jones (US30) is falling towards a pullback support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher.
Buy entry is at 43,909.20 which is a pullback support that aligns with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level.
Stop loss is at 43,600.00 which is a level that lies underneath a pullback support.
Take profit is at 44,527.74 which is a swing-high resistance at the all-time high.

NVIDIA is Poised to Reach $200NVIDIA is Poised to Reach $200
NVIDIA finally broke through its all-time high, which was reached on June 20, 2024, at $140.50.
For about 110 days, the price has been developing a larger triangle pattern, accumulating bullish momentum.
So far we have a clear bullish breakout and the price seems poised to reach $200.
However, the first reasonable target I am looking at is near to $170.
We should analyze it again later as long as the price is developing.

Ethereum Retail Investor Count Surges by 3.3 MillionEthereum Retail Investor Count Surges by 3.3 Million: The Road to an Altcoin Bull Run?
Analyzing Changes in Ethereum's Retail Investor Count
Over the past 60 days, we’ve observed a notable increase in the number of Ethereum retail investors. While the percentage increase may seem modest at 2.77%, this translates to approximately 3.3 million new retail addresses. With this rise over the past two months, the total number of retail investor addresses has reached 125.18 million.
Could Retail Investors Be the Catalyst for a Bull Market?
To answer this briefly: Yes.
In a bull run, new investors entering the market are expected to drive a significant increase in demand. When supply is limited or relatively scarce, as with Ethereum, this demand surge is anticipated to lead to a substantial price increase. Given that Ethereum is often seen as the “father of altcoins,” this trend holds even greater importance.
Why Is This So Significant?
The Key to an Altcoin Rally: Ethereum
Recently, Ethereum's price performance has lagged behind Bitcoin. In the last six months, for example, Bitcoin has gained 33%, while Ethereum's return has only been 10%. This discrepancy has left many altcoin investors disappointed. However, with Bitcoin dominance receding, we’re seeing Ethereum come back into the spotlight. Over the past week, while Bitcoin has risen around 19%, Ether has gained over 29%.
Following Ethereum's rally, the entire altcoin market is experiencing a period of relief and upward movement. This is why Ethereum's price trends and volatility are crucial for a potential altcoin bull run. Monitoring on-chain data here can provide critical insights.
How Can We Track This Data?
Conclusion
Through the IntoTheBlock & TradingView collaboration, you can track Ethereum's retail investor count under the "ETH_RETAIL" metric.
Observing whether there’s a corresponding increase in retail interest following the recent price surge can offer insight into the rally’s sustainability. If there’s no notable rise in the retail investor count, expecting a strong, lasting bull run might be overly optimistic. Thus, on-chain data sometimes serves as a leading indicator, and at other times, it confirms trends.
Thank you for reading.
TSLA Rally: What's Next?Tesla is currently trading within an upward channel on the 1-hour chart. This channel suggests continued bullish momentum, but we should remain cautious of potential pullbacks as it approaches the upper trendline.
Price Action Analysis:
Channel Formation:
TSLA is respecting an upward trend channel. The current price action is near the upper boundary, indicating possible overextension and potential for a pullback.
Watch for a retest of the mid-channel trendline (around $318-$320) as a key support level. If it holds, it may provide a solid bounce opportunity for scalping.
Support and Resistance Levels:
Immediate Resistance: $328.71 (upper channel line). Breaking above this level with volume could push the price toward $335-$340.
Immediate Support: $322-$320 (mid-channel line and EMA support). If it breaks below this, expect a test of the $310-$312 area.
Key Levels Below: $294.07 is a strong support zone, aligning with previous consolidation and a psychological level.
Volume Profile:
Increasing volume with each leg up indicates strong buyer interest. However, be cautious of a volume divergence if we see decreasing volume on higher prices, suggesting weakening momentum.
MACD and Momentum Indicators:
The MACD on the 1-hour chart is extended but shows no signs of bearish crossover yet. Keep an eye on a potential bearish crossover, which could signal a short-term pullback.
RSI (not shown but inferred) is likely nearing overbought territory. Consider this when planning for scalp entries and exits.
Scalping Opportunities:
Look for quick scalps at the key intraday levels:
Long Entry: Around $320-$322 with a tight stop below $318, targeting a quick move back to $328.
Short Entry: If it rejects off $328-$330, consider a short scalp targeting the $320 support.
Swing Trade Ideas:
A strong daily close above $330 could set up a swing trade toward the $340 level, given the recent bullish momentum.
Conversely, a break below $320 could lead to a deeper pullback, targeting $310-$312 for a
swing entry.

4 Winning Years Ahead for Traders Under TrumpOn November 5, 2024, the markets made it loud and clear—they’re excited about Donald J. Trump’s return to office. Stocks, the dollar, and other key assets all responded with strong moves that reflect investor confidence in what his policies might bring. Compare this to the last few years under Biden, and the difference is striking. The market barely budged during Biden’s presidency; even when he contracted COVID-19, it was business as usual. With Trump back, though, there’s an undeniable surge of optimism. Let’s look at what’s happening across the major assets and what it could mean for us traders in the days ahead.
S&P 500 (SPX)
The S&P 500 spiked from $5,704 to $6,018 on election night—a powerful rally that signals investor optimism. It seems the market is embracing Trump’s expected focus on tax cuts and pro-business policies. This kind of jump doesn’t happen without a reason; investors are clearly betting that Trump’s return will be good for corporate America and, by extension, for the economy.
Gold (XAU/USD)
In times of uncertainty, gold usually rallies as investors look for safe havens. But on election night, we saw the opposite: XAU/USD dropped from $2,750 to $2,643 per troy ounce. This decline tells us that investors feel less inclined to hedge their bets with gold, opting instead for assets tied to economic growth. When people pull out of safe havens, it's often a sign they’re feeling pretty good about what’s ahead.
U.S. Dollar Index (DXY)
The dollar had its own rally, with the DXY climbing from 103.3 to 105.4. This spike reflects confidence in the U.S. economy’s potential under Trump’s leadership. With the dollar gaining strength, it’s clear that investors expect strong economic fundamentals and possibly higher interest rates—both of which could keep the dollar in demand.
Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI)
The Dow also rallied, jumping from $41,649 to $44,173. This boost is especially interesting because it reflects optimism in sectors like manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure—industries Trump has supported in the past. Investors are likely betting on policy moves that could provide a lift to U.S. industries, potentially driving corporate profits higher.
WTI Crude Oil (WTI)
Looking forward, I’m expecting WTI prices to come under pressure as Trump likely revisits his focus on domestic oil production. If he revives the “drill, baby, drill” approach, we could see supply levels increase, which would weigh on prices. This potential shift in energy policy is something to keep an eye on, as it could create fresh trading opportunities.
The Big Picture
From stocks to the dollar, the market’s reaction seems to signal that Trump’s return is seen as positive for growth and stability. Reflecting on his previous term, I remember trading seemed almost simpler—beyond economic reports, following Trump’s statements (especially on Twitter) often gave insight into market sentiment. We might be looking at a similar environment now.
Final Thoughts for Traders
Trump’s re-election sets the stage for market dynamics we’ve seen before, with a familiar blend of optimism and volatility. For traders, this could mean more straightforward strategies, particularly by keeping an eye on policy shifts and economic indicators. With Trump’s leadership back in play, I believe the next four years could be some of the best trading years we’ve seen. Whether you’re in stocks, commodities, or forex, it’s clear the market is responding—and as traders, there’s a lot we can take away from that.

S&P500: Very bullish after Trump's win! But...Market is still bullish, but momentum is weakening.
There's a clear support zone at between 5910 to 5950. This is where I forecast it will drop to if profit taking were to happen.
If you want to be trading short term, then make sure you see signs of reversal at the 4H chart...like bearish engulfing, tweezer top or double/triple top / H&S at the lower timeframes (1H or 15min).
Then move down to 5min to look for divergences or lower highs for entry.
