Tesla Faces Market Turbulence in 2024 Despite Record RevenueTesla's financial performance in 2023, with a revenue of $97 billion, has been a key focus for investors. However, 2024 has brought challenges, notably impacting its market position. In January 2024, Tesla's shares saw a significant 24% drop, primarily due to expected weaker sales growth, wiping out about $80 billion in market value. The release of Tesla's Q4 earnings on January 24 further intensified these challenges. Earnings per share were reported at $0.71, below the expected $0.74, leading to an 8% drop in stock price and a fall below the $200 mark, a level last seen in May 2023. Since the Q4 report, Tesla's stock has struggled to surpass the $200 threshold, which now acts as a psychological barrier. The persistence of this resistance level suggests a cautious outlook for Tesla's stock, with potential for further declines if it fails to break through this barrier.

Will we see some strong movement to the upside??? The Longterm Bullish Case for Snap Inc. ( NYSE:SNAP ) Despite facing strong competition from other social media giants, Snapchat has managed to maintain a loyal user base and continues to innovate its platform to attract new users. Here are some key points that support a bullish thesis for SNAP: Snapchat has a large and growing user base, with over 347 million daily active users as of Q3 2023. The platform's unique features, such as disappearing messages and AR filters, have helped it maintain a strong presence among younger demographics.

The company's focus on augmented reality (AR) and camera-based advertising has helped it stand out in the crowded social media advertising space.

The company's revenue has also been growing steadily, driven by its expanding user base and improved monetization efforts. Attractive valuation: Despite its strong growth potential, Snap's stock is currently trading at a relatively low valuation compared to its peers. This presents an attractive opportunity for investors looking to capitalize on the company's growth prospects.

The importance of trading with the trend + Suppy/Demand zonesA trend can be defined with price action or indicators. Understanding that all indicators lag and price behaviour is key I prefer price action to tell me if we are up trending, down trending or trading in a range. Before understanding the basics of market structure it is important to know that its more likely for a trend to keep going on than for the trend to reverse. That is why professional traders look for areas to jump on the trend not areas to go against it. Also, keep in mind what time frame are you using to define the trend, for example, if your trades don't last more than an hour would you jump on the weekly chart trend ? what happens in 1 hour won't affect the weekly chart. So if you are trading the 5 or 15 min chart you can trade with the trend of the 1 or 2 hour chart. How to define the trend ? • An up trend is when price is making higher highs and higher lows • A down trend is when price is making lower highs and lower lows. • If there is no way to define the trend then you can say it is in a trading range with no clear direction. When has the trend changed ? To explain a trend change we will consider the chart below. First we can notice a clear up trend making higher highs and higher lows (1,2,3) then we create a new lower low (4) where we break below previous higher low (2) then price fails to create a new higher high and instead creates a lower high (5), finally when price breaches the previous lower low at (6) we can consider a change of structure. opposite situation happens in a down trend market. ABCD CORRECTION PATTERN There is a very common pattern that pretends to be a change of structure but really it is just a correction pattern to continue the uptrend. Look at the example below. An up trend creates a higher high (A) and a higher low (B). Then creates a lower high (C) and finally a lower low (D) before continuing its up trend. What did not happen that the trend didn't change ? If the high after (C) had been also a lower high and then it breaks below (D) and (D) acts further as resistance then the trend had changed. What is more important here is to understand that trading a continuation of the trend has a higher probability of working, on the example shown the correction ended right at a 4hr demand zone that was valid because the trend was still skewed to the upside.

Airbnb: Unlocking Unique Experiences and Soaring Stock PotentialNASDAQ:ABNB the biggest hotel company that owns no hotels (funny how things work eyyy) has underperformed since its IPO in 2021. We are finally starting to see its stock price catch up with its value. As more people travel and seek unique local experiences, the demand for Airbnb's platform is bound to grow in leaps. Strong Financials: The company is highly profitable which is rare among tech companies, posting +4 Billion in Q3 2023. Innovation: The company recently launched a new service called "Airbnb Experiences," which allows travelers to book unique experiences in the destinations they visit. This new service has the potential to drive further growth for the company. Technical Analysis: The stock price is facing a significant resistance at $151, and a breakthrough could lead to substantial upward movement. I'll be monitoring this closely for an attractive entry point.

Trends heading into the FOMC Rate DecisionOverheated market trends showing a bull market is basically my findings. I have not held into positions, long or short, going into this last surge. I had a relatively promising month in January and decided I would just end it on that note. Trends into today are; Last Macro Trend Signal Spots (ES Contract) 30m - 4925 Downtrend (1/31/2024) Lower Low 1Hr - 4933 Downtrend (1/31/2024) Higher Low 2Hr - 4925 Downtrend (1/31/2024) Higher Low 3Hr - 4954 Uptrend (1/29/2024) Higher High 4Hr - 4829 Uptrend (1/19/2024) Higher High 6Hr - 4797 Uptrend (1/8/2024) Higher High 12Hr - 4848 Uptrend (1/19/2024) Higher High Daily - 4378 Uptrend (11/3/2023) Higher High Weekly - 4769 Uptrend (12/11/2023) Higher High As explained, that 30m is showing the first sign of weakness for this surge to come back at all. Additionally, I read a report with Dow Jones Newswires that most of the insider trading lately has been little to no buying and lots of selling. Basically that means that members with stocks in their own companies are taking profits and not investing further into their company. I wouldn't take this as a sign that they think their company is in trouble, but more as a sign that they feel their stocks are overvalued and it is profitable to sell now and repurchase later. Economic Data today is going to the FED Meeting Minutes and the subsequent statement by Jerome Powell. I don't foresee, nor does the market, of any interest rate movement today. Geopolitical tensions continue to worsen in the Middle East. The latest is a Drone strike in Jordan that killed 3 US Servicemembers. I've been very surprised that the market has not priced in any sort of issues coming from the Israel/Hamas conflict or any of the tensions and skirmish fighting in the surrounding area. Overall, I see a huge threat to potential inflationary pressure disrupting this upward movement in the long term. Not some sort of pressure that would take us to a surge in inflation back to 9% like we were, but certainly not allowing us to reach a 2% target rate and having some minor upward movement instead of continuing the downtrend we have seen over the last year. Overall, my sentiment is fairly neutral. While I had held a bullish sentiment with spots of bearish profit taking before, I see overall a neutral movement from here, as my estimate for our top over this year was to be 5000 and we've almost reached that already.

This shows that the two sides are struggling fiercely in this area without creating any really clear signals. You temporarily stop trading, pay attention to the boundaries of the range, the direction of the breakout can reveal the next direction of the price.

💡 XAUUSD: Retest the lower resistance zoneA sharp interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve will have a negative impact on the US dollar, and even a moderate loosening policy can cause the US dollar to decline. If economic activity and inflation are lower than expected, the Federal Reserve could reduce interest rates. A strong USD is unlikely to return, and gold prices may continue to fluctuate amid clues about the FED's first interest rate cut. We can see gold retreated after failing to recover and running near the 48-hour moving average on the H4 chart. In addition, the MACD double line and the energy column hover around the zero axis. If central banks maintain a common view that interest rate cuts will be implemented as soon as possible, this could put pressure on gold from yield perspective. Currently, the SELL strategy can be applied, requiring stop loss.
