Nasdaq100 (NQ) Daily MACD Tries Positively Crossing

Nasdaq100 (NQ) is consolidating after surging more than 2.5% yesterday, and is trying to complete its 4th straight weekly Hammer or Doji. NQ is arguably back in the advanced stages of a Bull Flag near the 2023 high (formed in April), where it appears to be gearing up to retest in May, the weekly chart ascending wedge resistance and the 50% Fib retrace of the bear market from the November 2021 high (as can be seen more easily on a weekly chart on tradingview.com)…

Nasdaq100 (NQ) Continues 3 Week Consolidation Near 2023 High

Nasdaq100 (NQ) is struggling to extend a Bull Flag near the 2023 high (formed in April).

Nevertheless, any regaining of the 2023 high formed February before month end will dramatically increase odds of testing the August high by May sometime…

VIX (VX) Weekly Doji @ Fresh 2023 Low

The VIX (VX) is trying to firm after sliding yesterday to a fresh 2023 low below the psychologically key 20 whole figure level. Nevertheless, with the VX arguably nearing descending wedge completion (on the 4hr and daily chart), the VX appears more likely to retest the March high in April than to slide all the way to downchannel support (on the weekly chart) in the same period…

VIX (VX) Nears 2023 Low Ahead of Q2

The VIX (VX) is trying to firm after sliding from last week’s 2023 high, but remains vulnerable to retesting the 2023 low and the psychologically key 20 whole figure level going into April. Any reclaiming of this week’s high will likely have to wait until next week, and would dramatically increase the odds of testing the key 25 level in the few days after…
