General Motors Could Be AcceleratingGeneral Motors has pushed higher amid low volatility, and some traders may think the automaker is starting to accelerate. The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of higher lows since mid-August. Prices mostly remained below $59 until last week, creating an ascending triangle. They now seem to be escaping that potentially bullish continuation pattern. Second, GM ended Thursday at its highest daily closing price since early 2022. Third, Bollinger Band Width recently fell to its lowest reading since July 2017. Will that price compression give way to expansion? Next, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA in July and has remained there since. That could reflect a more positive long-term uptrend. Finally, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has remained above the 21-day EMA since late June. That may be consistent with a short-term uptrend.

NVIDIA – Bumping Up Against Record HighsNVIDIA’s share price is experiencing an interesting run into the end of September as traders try and work out whether it can extend its run of gains through all time highs sitting just above the 184 level (184.55 Sept 22nd), a line in the sand that has capped the upside since the start of August (more on this in the technical update below). With NVIDIA being the biggest company in the world by market capitalisation, currently sitting at a huge $4.34 trillion (No.2 Microsoft, $3.79 trillion), and it being the bellwether for AI performance, it’s not short of news flow to create periods of volatility. Only on Monday, the company announced a $100 billion link up with Open AI to build new data centres and expand AI infrastructure together, which sent its stock price up 4% towards that 184 resistance, only for Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell in a speech on Tuesday to send it back lower again as investors banked profits, when he offered a more cautious outlook towards future Fed rate cuts into the end of the year. Looking into the end of the week, the focus may be on US economic data again, with the release of the final US Q2 GDP reading at 1330 BST today, and perhaps more importantly, the PCE index, which is the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, due tomorrow at 1330 BST. Traders seem to be very sensitive to these inflation readings, given that they could determine whether the Fed is able to cut interest rates again before the end of 2025. Any deviation from expectations, to the up or downside could have an outsized impact on sentiment towards the NVIDIA stock price into the Friday close. Technical Update: Watching Record Highs Since reaching its 184.48 high on August 12th, NVIDIA has twice attempted to break and close above this resistance, on August 28th and September 22nd. The latest attempt did set a new intraday high of 184.55, but as the chart below shows, resistance held again by the close, triggering another sell-off from that level. This price action confirms the 184.48/184.55 range as a potentially key resistance area. A successful close above it could lead to a further phase of price strength. While not a guarantee of continued upside, a closing break above 184.48/184.55 could open the path to 192.14, a level equal to the 38.2% Fibonacci extension. If this level were to also give way on a closing basis, the next resistance may prove to be 196.91, which is the higher 61.8% extension. Of course, with resistance at 184.48/184.55 still capping price strength, there's also the risk that support levels could give way, possibly suggesting further downside in price activity. Initial support may now be marked by 175.11, the Bollinger mid-average, which is currently containing the latest pullback in price. While a close below here may not confirm extended price weakness, it might open the door to test lower supports at 168.41, which is the September 17th low, possibly even 164.07, a level equal to the September 5th extreme.

BTCUSD – Dealing with Surprise Pockets of VolatilityCryptocurrency markets can be susceptible to large swings in sentiment that can arrive out of nowhere and lead to outsized moves with potentially little rational behind why they have happened. These moves may be due to large one-off flows, reaction to news events, or just the liquidation of excessive positioning when a move may have run its course in the short term. It seems that yesterday’s drop could have been one of those days. BTCUSD opened Monday around 115500, right in the middle of its recent 110-118k trading range of the last 3 weeks. Then, at the start of trading in Europe the price dropped quickly to touch a low of 111533 before rebounding. This type of surprise move can catch traders unaware or worse can evoke an emotional response that can lead to making a rash decision regarding the execution of a new or existing position. To help protect against this type of reaction, from a risk management perspective it can be helpful to assess the charts at the start of each day to get a feel for market sentiment and positioning, as well as to try and identify some relevant support and resistance levels to monitor, alongside the current BTCUSD trend on the particular timeframe that you are trading. In the technical assessment below, we provide examples of this type of approach that you could adapt to fit your own style. While, BTCUSD prices have edged back higher again this morning, this pre-trading routine can become a quick and useful way to assess cryptocurrency markets. Technical Update: Assessing the Technical Backdrop Monday’s sharp decline might well have caught many traders off guard, prompting emotional reactions and potentially rash decisions. As experience shows, emotion-driven trades often lead to poor timing - buying near session highs or selling near market lows. While sharp price moves are unpredictable, preparing ahead of the trading day or week may help manage the emotional challenges that come with trading. Forearmed is Forewarned Before starting your trading day, build a routine that includes reviewing charts across multiple timeframes, such as 15 minute, 1 hour, 4 hour, daily or even weekly, for the assets you plan to trade. This broader perspective might help you spot key trends and make more informed decisions. This doesn’t need to be a deep analysis, just note the trend direction across different timeframes to get a clearer picture before trading. For a quick trend check, you can consider using the Bollinger Band mid-average (typically the 20-period moving average). If it’s rising, the asset is likely to be in an uptrend; if its falling, a downtrend; and if flat, it suggests a sideways range. When analysing multiple timeframes, keep in mind that longer-term trends may carry more weight. For example, a trend on a 1 day chart is perhaps more significant than one on a 5 minute chart. Short-term trends can reverse quickly, while longer-term moves tend to be more stable and influential. Consider using your trend assessment to shape your trading bias for the session. You may find it’s more effective to trade with the dominant trend rather than against it, at least until there's clear evidence of a price reversal. Be Aware of Support and Resistance Levels In addition to identifying the current trend direction, it's important to pinpoint key support and resistance levels for the session. These levels can help guide entry and exit decisions, highlight potential turning points, and provide structure to your trading plan. Keep these levels close to you throughout the day. Perhaps identify one key support and one resistance level, if either is breached, it may signal your initial assessment was incorrect and a trend reversal is underway. Support is often marked by prior lows or areas where buyers previously halted a price decline and helped restore the prevailing uptrend. Consider placing sell stop losses below a support level you have identified. Resistance is typically identified by prior highs or areas where sellers previously capped a rally and reinforced the prevailing downtrend. Think about placing buy stop losses above a resistance level you have outlined. A rising Bollinger mid-average also often serves as support, while a falling mid-average can signal resistance. Fibonacci retracement levels - 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8% - can also highlight potential support levels during pullbacks in an uptrend or resistance levels during recoveries in a downtrend. These may also be useful additions to be included in your pre-trading routine. The chart above highlights examples of possible support and resistance levels for Bitcoin within the daily timeframe. Let’s now look at what might be the current daily trends and support/resistance levels for Bitcoin for the daily perspective Potential Daily Trend: Monday’s sharp sell-off did see a break below what at the time was potential support, marked by the Bollinger mid-average, and price action staying below the average may suggest risks of a downtrend. However, as shown in the above chart, the daily Bollinger mid-average is currently flat, indicating Bitcoin may be in a daily sideways range. A downturn might suggest a developing downtrend, while an upward shift in the average could signal a renewed uptrend. Potential Daily Support and Resistance Levels: The Bollinger mid-average currently at 114057 may suggest an initial daily resistance. A break above this level might lead to further strength, with the September 20th high at 116205 and the September 18th peak at 117989 as potential next resistance levels. The recent low at 111533 may now be considered as an initial daily support level. A close below here could shift the focus to the September 4th low at 109325 as the next support to monitor. You can of course refine these levels by analysing shorter timeframes to match your trading style and perhaps spot near-term opportunities. However, by understanding key trends and support/resistance zones across various timeframes before the trading day begins, you may well find you are better equipped to deal with unexpected price swings with more balance and less emotion.

Advanced Micro Holds Previous HighAdvanced Micro Devices has sat calmly with other AI chip stocks rallying, but some traders may see upside potential. The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower highs between mid-August and mid-September. AMD is now past that falling trendline, which could suggest the downtrend is fading. Second is the November high of $150.71. AMD crossed that level in mid-July and bounced at it a week later. It’s been retested again twice this month without breaking. Has old resistance become new support? Third, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) has had a “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA. That may suggest its long-term trend has gotten more bullish. Next, narrowing Bollinger Bandwidth reflects tight price action. Some traders could see potential for movement to resume after the volatility squeeze. Finally, AMD is an active underlier in the options market. (Its average volume of 665,000 contracts ranks seventh in the S&P 500, according to TradeStation data.)

US 30 Index – Preparing for the End of Q3Historically, September is usually a poor month for US stock indices but, so far at least, this year it’s different. The US 30 index, which opened the month at 45609, is up around 850 points, trading close to new all time highs of 46465 recorded yesterday (time of writing 0800 BST). That’s a monthly gain of 1.8%. Some of the reasons for this positive performance lie in last Wednesday’s 25bps (0.25%) interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve (Fed), which included in the accompanying statement the potential for another 2 more 25bps cuts into the end of the year, if the incoming US labour market data suggests it is necessary, and the incoming inflation data is subdued enough to permit it. Two potential sticking points when considering whether this move high can continue. Looking forward on the scheduled events front, traders receive updates on the health of the US economy in the form of the September Manufacturing and Service activity PMI surveys today at 1445 BST. Any reading above 50 = economic expansion, while below 50 = economic contraction. The focus may be the Services print which has been the main driver of US growth in 2025, with traders comparing Septembers performance against expectations (53) and the strong August print (54.5). Fed Chairman Powell is also due to speak today on the economic outlook at an event in Warwick at 1735 BST. This could hold the attention of traders later in the day and is an important risk event to be negotiated. Then, on Friday, the US PCE index is released at 1330 BST. This is the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge and with traders extremely sensitive to the direction of US inflation and its potential knock-on implications for the viability of future Fed interest rate cuts, this update could create extra volatility for the US 30 index into the weekend. One final consideration for could be the upcoming end of the third quarter on Tuesday September 30th. Q3 has seen the US 30 index gain an impressive 5.2% from opening levels at 44073 on July 1st to 46420 this morning, leading to the question, Could investors decide to lock in these gains over the next 7 trading days or are they happy to hold positions, preparing for a further rally into the end of 2025? Technical Update: Uptrend Bias Remains In Force It’s difficult to ignore an asset that consistently posts new all-time highs, which is the case for the US 30 index. As the chart below shows, Monday registered another new upside extreme of 46465. It could be argued this pattern of higher price highs and higher price lows materialising since the 36440 April 7th downside extreme reflects positive investor sentiment. Traders currently appear happy to pay a higher price each time a sell-off is seen, with this buying support then able to close above resistance marked by the previous high. This is of course no guarantee that this price action will extend further over coming sessions, but it could mean that assessing what may be the potential support and resistance levels to monitor in the week ahead could be helpful in case an increase in volatility materialises. Possible Resistance Levels: Having encountered selling pressure at the 46465 new all-time high on Monday, this level could mark the first resistance focus for the coming week. A closing break above 46465 might well be interpreted by traders as opening scope to maintain the uptrend pattern to higher levels. Such moves could then see tests of 46986, which is equal to the 100% Fibonacci extension level, and if this gives way, even potentially towards 47674, which is the higher 138.2% extension. Possible Support Levels: During the latest phase of the US 30 index advance, it has been the rising Bollinger mid-average that acted as support to price setbacks, limiting declines and enabling the move to resume upside strength. Therefore, with the average currently standing at 45779, this level could well mark the first support focus. Closing breaks below 45779, if seen, could lead to the possibility of further price declines, opening potential to test the next support at 45262, which is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of August to September 2025 price strength (see chart above).

Spotify: Potential Continuation PatternsSpotify rallied to a new high early in the summer. Now, after a period of consolidation, some traders may expect further upside. The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of lower highs between June 27 and September 9. The streaming-media company pushed above the falling trendline on Thursday, which could suggest buyers are returning. Second is the August 15 (weekly) close of $732.81, which SPOT is now challenging. That could also be viewed as a potential breakout level. Third, Bollinger Band Width narrowed to its lowest reading since October. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is also near its 100-day SMA. Those points highlight the calm price action. Could a period of movement come next? Next, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) recently crossed over the 21-day EMA. Prices have remained above the rising 100-day SMA. Those signals may be consistent with short- and long-term uptrends.

Intel | INTC | Long at $20This is going to be purely about technical analysis since Intel NASDAQ:INTC has a 90x P/E and has not proven themselves to be a viable challenger in the semiconductor market (yet...). Bad news could continue to destroy this ticker, but without that news, there could be some recovery in the near term. The NASDAQ:INTC chart is in an overall downward trend. However, based on a few of my selected simply moving averages (SMAs), there is some predictability around support/resistance areas. Some of my favorite setups are a nice bounce on the lowest (green) selected SMA, occurring in October 2022 for a "rip then dip" to the second lowest (blue) - which it hit now. Often, but not always (I can't stress this enough), this green to blue SMA bounce represents a very strong support area during a downward trend. The other move is a further dip to retest the green SMA, but I suspect that would come with tremendously bad news for Intel... let's hope not, though. Currently, NASDAQ:INTC is in a personal buy zone at $20.00 based on technical analysis only. A stop has been set if it drops below the blue SMA (which is may further test). Target #1 = $28.00 Target #2 = $32.00 Target #3 = $60.00+ (very long-term, but high-risk unless fundamentals change)

GBPUSD – Assessing the Price Charts for Positioning & SentimentAs a trader it can be helpful to use a Pepperstone chart to assess the price action of a particular market that you are considering taking a position in ahead of a big event, like a Federal Reserve (Fed) or Bank of England (BoE) interest rate decision, as it could assist in providing an insight into the bias of the wider market as they anticipate the outcome of the central bank meetings and position accordingly. At the start of this week, the general thinking amongst observers seemed to be that the Fed were going to cut interest rates, which as a rule may lead to a weaker dollar (USD), and that the BoE were going to remain on hold due to sticky UK wage growth and stubbornly high inflation, the highest in the G7, an outcome that as a rule may be more supportive of GBP. Perhaps, unsurprisingly then, in this environment GBPUSD at the start of this week edged higher between the Monday open around 1.3540 and Wednesday afternoon, circa 1.3660, with trader assumptions on the UK (GBP) side further supported by UK wage data (Tues) and Inflation Data (Wed CPI) backing up their hypothesis. However, this is where it gets tricky, the GBPUSD rally to 2 months highs (1.3671) then ran into a wall of profit taking as traders locked in some profits on gains and waited for more clarity on what the Fed was thinking regarding interest rate moves into the end of 2025. Ahead of the meeting, yes, a 25bps (0.25%) cut was expected, but there was an outside chance of a 50bps (0.5%) move being priced by the markets. Also, there was some uncertainty regarding what the Fed would signal regarding further interest rate moves. Would Fed Chairman Powell signal it was just one cut and done, or would he signal the potential for the US central bank to cut interest rates further at their meetings in late October and December? The answers to these questions can often mean only one thing, an increase in GBPUSD volatility, and that’s what we got. GBPUSD traded quickly to a new 2 month high of 1.3726 but then ran out of steam, as buying momentum stalled sending prices back to a current low of 1.3593 this morning (0700 BST). Now, looking forward to the BoE rate decision released later today at 1200 BST, it could be helpful to move back to the Pepperstone charts again and try to identify potential support and resistance levels that could be monitored in case this volatility continues into the Friday close. Technical Update: Positive Start so Far in September Much like the start of August, initial price activity in September has shown strength for GBPUSD, rallying from the 1.3333 low on September 3rd to a latest high of 1.3726 on September 17th. This may be viewed by some traders as suggesting further phases of price strength are possible if resistance levels continue to be broken. Perhaps what stands out in September’s GBPUSD rally, is the successful closing break above 1.3589, the July 24th high resistance. While this move doesn’t guarantee continued upside, it may see further attempts to push toward higher levels. That said, as already discussed, there is potential for increased GBPUSD volatility ahead, so it may prove useful to be aware of potential support and resistance levels to monitor over coming sessions. Possible Resistance Levels: It has already been an impressive recovery since the 1.3333 September 3rd low, although it might be argued that price strength is again encountering resistance at these higher levels. Having run into sellers at 1.3726 after yesterday’s initial reaction to the cut in US interest rates, they may be found there again. As such, 1.3726 could now be viewed as first resistance, if further price strength materialises. However, if a daily closing break above the 1.3726 resistance does materialise, while not guaranteed, it could pave the way for further upside, with next the potential resistance sitting at 1.3789, which is the July 1st session high. Potential Support Levels: Much may appear to depend on whether GBPUSD can achieve a successful daily close above the 1.3726 resistance level. However, while this continues to cap price strength, risks could be for price declines, possibly toward potential support levels. The Bollinger mid-average, currently at 1.3525, may now be a support focus for traders. A close below this level, if seen, could be a catalyst for further price weakness, potentially leading to a fresh decline toward 1.3333, the September 3rd low.

Netflix Has Been SnoozingNetflix has done little for months, but some traders may think the streaming giant is ready to wake up. The first pattern on today’s chart is the $1,193 level. It was a low in mid-August where NFLX is potentially trying to find new support. Second, that level potentially represents an incrementally higher low compared with troughs in May and early August. (See the white arrows.) Those higher lows are also occurring along the rising 100-day simple moving average, which may be consistent with a long-term uptrend. Next, Bollinger Band Width recently narrowed to its tightest reading since August 2021. Could that price compression give way to expansion? Stochastics are additionally trying to rise after nearing an oversold condition. Finally, NFLX is an active underlier in the options market. (It’s averaged more than 90,000 contracts per session in the last month, according to TradeStation data.) That could help traders take positions with calls and puts.
