Learn essential lessons on patience, understanding that you don't need to force trades or impose your personal bias on the market.

S&P500 - Where will we go next?Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at the S&P500 .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
Fore more than a decade, the S&P500 has been trading in a pretty clean rising channel formation. We had the last retest of support in 2022, which was followed by bullish confirmation and a rally of +45% in 1.5 years. At the moment the S&P500 is neither retesting support nor resistance and the path of least resistance is simply higher.

Nasdaq - Soon heading to $30.000?Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at the Nasdaq .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
For more than a decade, the Nasdaq index has been trading in a rising channel formation with the last retest of the support trendline being back in the end of 2022. At the moment, Nasdaq is retesting the upper resistance trendline and if we actually see a breakout over the next 2 months, we might see a similar rally of +50% compared to the one which we saw back in 2020.

Gold - Another 15% rally from here!Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at Gold .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
For about four years, Gold has over and over again been retesting the psychological $2.000 resistance level. It was actually just a matter of time, until we see the breakout which happened exactly three months ago. So far Gold is looking very bullish and there is absolutely no reason why this strength should turn around in the near future.

Dow Jones - All time high and 20% rally?Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at the Dow Jones .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
For more than a decade, the Dow Jones has been trading in a rising channel formation. We had the first retest of support and resistance back in 2011 and ever since this was a massively profitable channel pattern. With the recent breakout above the $35.000 resistance level, the Dow Jones clearly looks like the next target is once again the upper resistance of the channel.

Market is on its Upper Band - Its 2nd Camel HumpAll the major markets are testing their upper band channels since their first major hump in the 90s.
The Russell 2000 has reached its second hump and is on the way down. Though the Russell 2000 is the least known among the four indices, it serves as a leading indicator for the other three.
Why?
The Russell 2000 comprises 2000 mid-sized listed companies, which I believe employ the largest workforce in the United States. This means their employees are also the mass consumers who use or buy products and services listed on the Nasdaq, S&P, and Dow Jones. When the Russell 2000 is not doing well, mass consumers tend to spend less, and the rest of the indices subsequently follow.

Nvidia - Earnings, Channel, $1.000!Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at Nvidia .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
If you are objectively looking at the stock chart of Nvidia, you can see that Nvidia is currently trading in a solid rising channel formation. But as we are speaking, Nvidia is retesting the upper resistance and considering that we just saw a rally of +700% without any real correction, it is quite likely that we will see at least a short term bearish rejection from here.

Bitcoin - The bullrun is not over (yet)!Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at Bitcoin .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
For more than five years Bitcoin has been trading in a solid rising channel formation. We saw the last retest of support in 2022 which was followed by a bullish reversal on the smaller timeframes and an incredible rally of 300% towards the upside. Considering that Bitcoin is now retesting previous resistance, it is quite likely that we will see a short term rejection first.

Intel - What is going on?Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at Intel Corporation.
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
In April of 2022 we saw a major break towards the downside on Intel stock which was then followed by more bearish continuation of roughly -65%. Then Intel retested a multi year long structure and created a pretty decent bullish reversal and a strong (short covering rally). At the moment Intel just rejected previous structure and is now in a massively bearish market soit is best to just wait for this volatility to calm down.

Tesla - Clear flag formation!Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at Tesla .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
After the triangle breakout and the bullish break and retest on Tesla stock back in 2020, we saw a significant rally of 1.500% towards the upside. For 3 years Tesla has now been trading in a decent bullish flag formation and just broke an important support area towards the downside. However at the moment Tesla is literally in no man's land so it is better to wait for the next retest of structure.

Nvidia - Another push higher from here?Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at Nvidia .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
Nvidia stock has been trading in a rising channel formation for a couple of years. We saw the last retest of support in the beginning of 2023 which was followed by an unbelievable rally of 625% towards the upside. At the moment Nvidia is retesting the upper resistance but we might see a retest of the psychological $1.000 level first and then a correction.

Bitcoin - Channel, Breakout and a $250.000 Target!Hello Traders and Investors, today I will take a look at Bitcoin .
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
On the higher timeframes of the Bitcoin chart - symbol BTCUSD - you can immediately spot a simple rising channel formation. About a year ago, Bitcoin retested and rejected the lower support of the rising channel formation and is now retesting the previous all time highs at $65.000.
