NVIDIA - Bears, This Is Your ChanceIn a previous post on NVIDIA following its earnings gap all time high, I posited that a bearish three drives was a real possibility, which would involve the stock actually going down and then driving up a few more times in accordance with the overall market topping:
NVIDIA - A Scenario Few Are Considering. Few. Few. Few.
That never panned out, and instead what we're looking at instead, as you can tell with all the insider selling, is a very likely bump and run reversal.
But distribution patterns take a very long time to manifest, and one of the biggest tells with NVIDIA is despite it going from $366 to $440, it really has never targeted the sell side, not even rebalancing the original gap.
As far as this company goes... well, when you come across something like this whose CEO is a Taiwanese dude prancing around in a leather jacket for every photo op while it's trading like a Chinese Communist Party pump and dump, a number of red flags beyond the 250x P/E it's trading at should emerge.
Companies and their officers who have connections to the CCP are very dangerous, for the geopolitical situation is tense. Much is at stake right now with Mainland China and whether or not Xi Jinping is intelligent enough to get rid of the Party.
If Xi can't get rid of the Party, then the International Rules Based Order will do it for him and will go to install their own people from Taiwan in the Mainland.
Xi always has the option to weaponize the 24-year persecution of Falun Gong, started by the Jiang Zemin faction that's rooted in Shanghai, to take down the Party and defend China from the groups that wish to invade.
Live organ harvesting isn't a sin that can survive public scrutiny, really.
None of this is healthy for the markets, and if you're long on stocks at the top, some of them aren't coming back.
The indexes might come back, but many companies definitely go to zero and will be replaced by a future generation.
When you look at NVIDIA on the monthly, does this look like somewhere that you want to go long?
A monthly "gap" like this will certainly always be filled, and it just happens to be right around the actual level we're looking to target.
The weekly bars are severely ranged compressed, which tells us that a big move is coming
I have a call on that Nasdaq that we're about to get a pretty violent and serious correction, but that it will really be a bear trap:
Nasdaq - The Great Bear Trap
You might feel right now that stocks ONLY GO UPPY. But considering you're in a bear market and these things have been mooning for like an entire quarter right now, you might want to check that notion before that notion wrecks you.
The problem with NVIDIA going and making a new high right now is it's failed to do so twice. Friday's end of the day was a big rejection on everything Nasdaq.
And this is a time when price stopped just 1.8% short of the high.
So what it was really doing was covering the old range, and taking stops over the most subordinate high to the all time high.
Another big tell is the SOXS and SOXL 3x leverage semiconductor ETFs are simultaneously setup on weekly and daily candles to breakout/retrace, and both started to do that in sync on the Friday dump.
NVIDIA is the top component of the index underlying the ETF at roughly 9%.
The most obvious place for it to retrace to to start taking out sell stops is the $395 gap.
But this is only 5% at this point and not very scary.
Meanwhile, all the bulls and all the bears start selling on a break of $366, because Discord and Reddit told them to and some books and guru videos told them to "because confirmation."
Once the gap is finally balanced, I believe that Nasdaq is going to rip to something like 16,000 before we're done, and NVIDIA will actually finish its lifespan with a 5-handle.
So for bears: here's your opportunity. But you better have realistic expectations.
For bulls: here's your opportunity. But you better have patience in buying the dip, and you'll find you "made a lot of money getting out of the market too early."
And for bulls and bears: stay away from ponzi companies and social distance from the CCP and all the Marxist-Leninist and atheist things.
If you don't, you'll face more than the liquidation of your brokerage accounts, to say the very least.

TSM - Taiwan, Your Semiconductor Long HedgeAt present, the US equities markets are at a critical inflection point, especially tech.
We're still in the bear side of a correction in an extremely major bull market impulse fuelled by Party Central's COVID stimulus programs, and yet flirting with all time highs.
Sometimes markets top without a blow off. Nasdaq's daily chart, above, shows price raided the 16,000 psychological level and the January 2022 pivot that ended the bull market.
This is really significant in and of itself, but even more significant in that the 3% rejection thus far indicates that tech *may* have truly topped already.
In my recent call on NVIDIA, some people correctly criticized that I have the problem of being bearish when a stock is clearly bullish.
I have thought about this quite a bit and think the criticism is fair.
With NVIDIA, I believe the stock has either topped or will top before/at $500 in a coming impulse. However, if one had have just gone long on the dips from low $400s to the $480 mark, they could have financed a freeroll "Short God From The Top" dream trade with potentially huge upside.
And that brings us to Taiwan Semiconductor, a company that I believe is a clear long on all time frames and has several significant advantages:
1. It's Taiwan's gemstone and thus highly relevant to the geopolitical concerns I will outline below
2. Producer of much of the world's most advanced chips
3. Market cap still under $500 billion (Thus, room to 2 or 3x in the future)
4. Is not a component of the Nasdaq, the SPX, the Dow, or the Russell, and thus can impulse long even if the equities market corrects
5. Accounts for only 3.4% of the index the SOXX/SOXL/SOXS ETFs underlie, and thus can impulse long even if the semiconductor industry corrects sharply
6. Washington is banning NVIDIA and ASML from selling to China, but never mentions TSM
7. If TSM pulls out the "AI" marketing card with a new offering, watch out for fire.
In previous posts I have mentioned that the Chinese Communist Party is about to fall. While people may find that unbelievable or too good to be true, it's worth noting that when the USSR was brought down by Gorbachev and friends on Christmas Day 1992, nobody believed it was possible then either.
Those of us who are old enough to remember know you woke up one day to see it all over the news and nobody knew how it would happen.
Many entities are considering how to take control of China and its 5,000 year old culture, history, natural resources, and land when the Party falls.
The International Rules Based Order wants China for its own reasons, and the reason "Washington" has made itself so close to Taiwan isn't because Xi Jinping intends to invade Taiwan (The CCP is too weak after so many people died from Wuhan Pneumonia), but because the IRBO intends to use The Republic of China to replace the Communist Party for its own ends.
The ultimate purpose is to install genuine communism (note the CCP only still practices socialism according to its own dogma) worldwide via panopticon social credit systems and central bank digital currencies.
If you want a future you and your family can live in, you want our traditions, imparted by God, and not this junk imparted by Karl Marx and the specters that belied him.
I've mentioned before that Xi, an ostensible Chinese nationalist, has the option of weaponizing the 24-year persecution and organ harvesting genocide against the 100 million practitioners of the Falun Gong/Falun Dafa spiritual cultivation practice by the faction of his predecessor Jiang Zemin and the CCP in order to ensnare the IRBO and its banking cartel.
However, all of the world's critical pieces (Yellen, Musk, Kissinger, Dimon) visiting Beijing "for talks" combining with a recent significant strengthening of the yuan and a potential recovery of China tech stocks indicates that the IRBO is now onside with the Xi administration.
Which means that Xi may have sold out China and the future in a Faustian Pact with the IRBO in order to maintain his power, because he's too much of an idiot to throw away the CCP, return to China's 5,000 years of dynasties, and enter the future.
Either way, once there's some kind of news cycle about "Taiwan" (just go look at all the war clamoring that appeared this month in The Economist et al), TSM can moon no matter what the rest of the equities market does, and counts as an excellent long hedge during catastrophe.
I can only say that if you go long, especially significantly long, on anything right now, you really ought to be hedging volatility long while the VIX is maintaining a 13-handle.
So here's the trade.
TSM dumped some 6% on earnings under $98, which is a hell of a dip to buy.
It's a dip to buy because daily price action on the way up stopped just short of the curiously-numbered $111.11 (the Chinese are extremely numerological/superstitious), which naturally makes this figure a target for a retrace
It's only that on the hourly,
TSM doesn't show any signs of having bottomed beyond not making a lower low on the first day.
But with the biggest FOMC of the year on Wednesday, July 26 (big hike possible, next meeting not until Q3 end September 20), longing today may have been too early.
But not too early by much. Arguably only 3%. The most bullish continuation for TSM would be to maintain a "higher low" formation, protecting the wick of the June low at $94.25.
Upside targets are immediately $113+ (Masonry, roar?) and $130 (Masonry, rawr!) if bearish.
If all things Taiwan become memefied like artificial intelligence did because of what's going on in China, then there's little to stop TSM from becoming a $1 Trillion market cap company like NVIDIA et al, which would actually mean upside over $200 is in the cards through the 2024 Presidential Election.
But mankind's best laid plans are merely those of mice. This race is like bacteria and this planet is little more than a speck of dust when viewed from higher places in the enormous and boundless Cosmos we currently sit in.
What the Cosmos looks at is a race, a planet, and an individual's moral standard and spiritual realm.
Thus, the more calamity is on deck the more critical it is to take good care of your family and friends and use the time that we all have left before the world changes forever to make up for the things from the past that have been done wrong, when they should have been done well.
Take good care of yourselves.
Bullish on Qualcomm. QCOMBetting on in the position of the B Wave in this pretty epic zigzag. Taking retrace of ?B of B for targets of C. C's within triangle tend to be the largest of the lot, so a chance we may come back to this idea and extend the goals to hyperextension incase of an epic C at a later stage.
We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in purple with invalidation in red. Confirmation level, where relevant, is a pink dotted, finite line. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe.

Qualcomm | QCOM | Short to Gap FillQualcomm ( NASDAQ:QCOM ). While I believe semiconductors will be the hot tickers again in the near future, Qualcomm needs to close the gap between $138.55 and $147.88. The upcoming Federal Reserve meeting and OpEx may serve as catalysts for this move. While it could rise to test resistance in the low- to mid-$160s to trap the bulls, I expect it to show more weakness ahead. Closing the gap below will be great for the bulls (like myself) in the long-run.
If it breaks resistance, thesis is broken.
QCOM exposure to ChinaThe U.S. warning China it could face devastating sanctions if it defies the ban on doing business with Russia!
This is a move that could have huge impact on American companies.
67% of QCOM Qualcomm revenue comes from China.
My price targets from QCOM are $126 and $92.
Looking forward to read your opinion about this.

SOXL bearish double top*disclaimer*
I haven't published anything outside of the crypto markets publicly. However, I have had my eye on SOXL, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares ETF.
I originally thought that earnings for NVIDIA were going to boost the asset and asset class, however it seemed to me the night before earnings that the earnings call was already priced in.
Looking at an 8 hour hollow candle chart here going back to fall 2021 makes the picture a bit clearer for me (when in doubt zoom out).
SOXL did a bearish double top between late November 2021 and early January 2022. And now volume is kicking up heavily on the sell side. Especially when current volume is compared to moving average for volume.
If the NVIDIA earnings call wasn't enough to lift, and rumors about auto manufacturers continue to slip in through the cracks, I see plenty of downside correction left for SOXL.
That being said, this is part technical and part "buy the rumor, sell the news" analysis and I will keep my eye on this sector which has been outperforming.

End of the line for Qualcomm. QCOMForm time to time at the end of an impulse we may see a pretty small flat before bigger drops to follow. Here, we believe that this may be the case here. It might meander before potentially giving us bigger drops.
