Powell: Stock Prices appear "Fairly Highly Valued"“We do look at overall financial conditions, and we ask ourselves whether our policies are affecting financial conditions in a way that is what we’re trying to achieve,” Powell said. “But you’re right, by many measures, for example, equity prices are fairly highly valued.” “Markets listen to us and follow and they make an estimation of where they think rates are going. And so they’ll price things in,” Powell said in part of the conversation dealing with mortgage rates. Though Powell noted the lofty equity values, he said this is “not a time of elevated financial stability risks.” Not really something you want your central banker saying to keep positive momentum in the stock market. Particularly when the Nasdaq is fairly stretched. A downside scenario could see us pulling back into the EMA bands to 575s for the $QQQ.

QQQ Short – Targeting 2%The Nasdaq-100 (QQQ) has shown strong upside momentum recently, but appears technically overextended on the daily chart. After multiple consecutive green sessions and stretched RSI levels, there is a rising probability of a short-term pullback. With limited economic data this Friday and potential profit-taking ahead of the weekend, we could see a “Red Friday” scenario. A 2% retracement would bring QQQ closer to near-term support levels, offering a favorable risk-reward for a short setup.

QQQ Blow-Off TopsA blow-off top is a rapid, almost vertical rally fueled by FOMO, followed by a sharp reversal; basically, when buyers exhaust themselves all at once at the highs Steep, accelerating candles Price goes near vertical with increasingly larger green candles Little to no pullback along the way Climactic volume Volume spikes dramatically; often, the highest in weeks Sign that everyone rushed in at once Psychological level tag Often happens at a round number (QQQ $600) Big funds sell into retail chasing that breakout Immediate reversal After tagging the high, price reverses sharply Often leaves a long upper wick or a big red candle the next day In a normal pullback, price runs up, consolidates, dips a little, then continues trend That parabolic sprint to $602 had some blow-off energy, but volume confirmation & follow-through matter If QQQ holds $596–$598, then just a pullback If it slices through $596 to $592 quickly, then the $602 peak was likely a blow-off top 1. November 2021 (~$400) QQQ ran up nearly vertical into the end of November Volume surged, RSI > 80 (extreme overbought) Next sessions was a sharp reversal & that marked the all-time high for over a year 2. July 2023 (~$388) A straight-line rally into mid-July RSI & stochastics pinned high Daily candle with a long upper wick, then a red engulfing candle the next day QQQ retraced ~5% quickly 3. March 2024 (~$448) Blow-off type move in tech earnings season Price overshot resistance, then reversed hard within 2–3 days QQQ currently reached ~$602 & setup looks similar Strong parabolic run from ~$584 to $602 (+3%) RSI was pushing toward overbought Yesterday's red reversal candle below $600 If QQQ closes below 596, we’d have a failed breakout Breakdown candle after a parabolic leg High probability that $602 = short-term blow-off top If it holds $596–$598 & bounces, then it’s just a consolidation, not a true blow-off QQQ below $596 confirms the blow-off, while above $598 it’s still possible to rebuild Blow-off top = acceleration up + exhaustion candle + fast reversal If $596 breaks with volume, signals sellers are in control 1. $592–$593 (prior breakout shelf) Textbook first downside target after a blow-off peak; often, where dip-buyers step in 2. $587–$588 (last pivot low before the parabolic run) If blow-off confirms, this is a high-probability magnet Stretch Downside (full retracement of blow-off leg) 3. $584 (base of the September run) Would imply the parabolic move unwinds fully Only in case of heavy selling/broad market risk-off Daily close below $596 confirms a blow-off top RSI roll-over from overbought with price under $596 = momentum shift Volume spike on red candle = strong confirmation that $602 was exhaustion If $602 was a blow-off top, QQQ’s clean retracement ladder is $592-$596, $587 & $584 (short-term, medium-term & stretch)

QQQ (19 September)The 20d MA is the heartbeat of this trend Late August to early September consolidation where QQQ went sideways between $570-$585 The breakout above that consolidation in mid-September created a bullish continuation pattern, which resembles a bull flag/rectangle Measuring the prior impulse leg (4.36%) & projecting it forward to $608–$609 lines up with this breakout structure $583 × (1 + 0.0436) ≈ $608–$609 QQQ finished the week stretched at the upper +3% envelope, showing strong, but slightly overextended momentum Volume was moderate, but supportive with no signs of distribution The next test is whether it can hold $600 & push into the $608–$609 target zone next week Momentum is strong, but both RSI & stochastics warn that QQQ is overextended Near-term risk is a pullback or consolidation at/near $600 Trend remains bullish as long as MACD stays positive & price holds above recent breakout levels Failure at $600 combined with a break back under $580 would signal a failed breakout & likely mean reversion toward $562–$555 Only a close below $532 would break the entire uptrend structure $532.17 is the base of the prior summer consolidation & an important bigger-picture support

QQQ Channel SupportQQQ is consolidating after a strong rally & holding the rising channel keeps upside targets alive, but a breakdown risks a retrace to mid-$560s If QQQ holds the channel and clears $602.87, the extension target is $650+ (123.6% Fib) A break below the channel and $595 could pull back to $560–$567 (Fib support) Long setup near $595 offers ~3:1 reward if aiming for $615–$650 Short setup below $595 has a cleaner move to $560–$567 (~5% downside) Right after QQQ’s breakout above $580, price consolidated in a tight rising channel, that’s the small bull flag If the bull flag breaks upward, it confirms momentum & could push QQQ toward $630 before testing the larger Fib extension at $650 If it fails, the channel support ($595ish) becomes key & a breakdown would negate the flag & risk a dip toward $560–567 The measured move (3.17%) from the flag points to $614.93 (short-term target) The larger 123.6% extension at $650 remains the next big level

QQQ Topping SetupBuyers are facing strong resistance & today's trading is a warning sign of exhaustion, not yet a decisive reversal, but the setup leans bearish unless bulls break out cleanly above $598 - risk leans toward a pullback RSI/Stoch show overbought, flashing risk of pullback MACD is still bullish, but losing strength Today's gap up rejection confirms sellers are active at resistance This paints a picture of a topping setup unless neckline holds strong The gap up was a bull trap where buyers pushed early, but sellers overwhelmed Today’s candle acts as the confirmation signal of a double top (shooting star/bearish engulfing), is a textbook bearish signal at Top 2, which suggests bulls are losing steam & bears are pressing harder This creates a bearish gap + reversal setup 1. Bearish Signals Shooting star (small body, long upper wick), rejection of higher prices Bearish engulfing (large red candle fully covers prior green), sellers taking control Doji at highs (indecision), often precedes reversal when overbought Evening star (3 candles & strong green, then doji, then strong red), top formation These confirm the double top pattern if paired with rejection volume 2. Bullish Continuation Hammer (small body, long lower wick), buyers defending support Bullish engulfing (large green candle covers prior red), buyers back in control Morning star (3 candles, strong red, then doji, then strong green), bullish reversal at support Marubozu green (full-bodied bullish candle, no upper/lower wick), conviction from buyers These suggest the neckline is holding & an ascending triangle breakout is possible At Top ($598), watch for rejection candles & at neckline ($556-$564), watch for defense candles (hammer, engulfing, morning star) Confirmation comes not from just one candle, but the follow-through

QQQ QQQ/VIX Peaks vs QQQ TopsThis ratio rises when QQQ strengthens & volatility (VIX) declines, a classic risk-on signal The higher the ratio, the more “complacency” builds - extremes here often precede corrections Both QQQ & QQQ/VIX are at/near highs, which confirms bullish sentiment, but also shows that positioning is crowded If QQQ keeps pushing higher, but QQQ/VIX fails to confirm (flat or declining), that’s often an early warning of exhaustion Any sudden VIX spike (geo, macro, Fed) would drag this ratio down fast & pressure QQQ QQQ/VIX this elevated often means traders are too comfortable Pullbacks tend to emerge from such levels If VIX jumps, ratio collapses Historically, that coincides with sharp QQQ corrections With QQQ at ~$600 & QQQ/VIX stretched, market may need a consolidation or correction before higher 1. Late January / Early February 2025 QQQ/VIX peaked near 41 QQQ topped just above $580 before rolling into a multi-week correction 2. Mid-April 2025 QQQ/VIX sharp rebound high (mid-30s) QQQ short-lived bounce before a deeper dip into May 3. Now (Mid-September 2025) QQQ/VIX at ~38, near prior extremes QQQ at $595, pressing resistance around $600 Every major QQQ pullback since late 2024 coincided with QQQ/VIX spiking near 35–40 Peaks in the ratio tend to lead or align with local QQQ tops Once the ratio rolls over, QQQ usually corrects or at least consolidates QQQ/VIX is once again in the upper 30s Unless the ratio makes a decisive breakout beyond prior extremes (sustaining >40), history suggests odds of a near-term pullback are elevated Watch closely for a stall or rollover in QQQ/VIX (early warning), a VIX spike (usually the trigger), or QQQ struggling with $600 resistance

QQQ Battle at the TopStrong uptrend from April to September (higher highs & higher lows), but market is hesitating with indecision candles at resistance 1. Bullish Clean breakout & close above ~$593 with follow-through $637.81 (123.6% Fib) to $665.62 (138.2% Fib) Needs strong green candles or a bullish gap above resistance Support at $552–$559 (78.6%-82.6% Fib) 2. Bearish Rejection at current highs (~$593), followed by consecutive red candles $552–$559 (major support cluster, 78.6%-82.6% Fib) $520.10 (61.8% Fib, critical trend support) Risk of deeper correction to $497.63 (50% Fib) Confirmation seen in long upper wicks, bearish engulfing, or heavy selling volume near ~$593 Watch candlestick formations here - next few candles will decide direction Recent candles near $592 are small-bodied candles with upper wicks which suggests indecision/possible exhaustion at resistance If QQQ stalls at this level & pulls back, it could form a double top around $593 (bearish if neckline at $559 breaks) If it consolidates sideways above $552–$559 & then breaks out, it could form a bullish continuation pattern (ascending triangle) No major reversal pattern yet, but watch closely for confirmation Bearish engulfing or shooting star near $593 is bearish signal Breakaway gap above $593 is bullish confirmation Double top ($588–$593) shows multiple doji & shooting star candles which signals indecision + rejection pressure If bearish patterns (doji/shooting star/bearish engulfing) dominate near $593, it indicates a likely reversal or pullback If price pulls back to $552–$559 & prints bullish engulfing/long lower wick, this is a strong buy-the-dip signal Bullish engulfing candles showed up earlier in August, helping the rally continue Support at $552–$559 is a key level where buyers may defend (base of possible ascending triangle) If neckline holds, it could be an Ascending Triangle & breakout above $593 points to $637+

QQQ: Holding 590 Channel Support–Swing & Scalp Setups for Sep 171-Hour Chart Technical View QQQ’s 1-hour chart shows a steady uptrend within a rising channel. After a strong run from mid-week lows, price is consolidating near $591. MACD has cooled from earlier highs and Stoch RSI is in oversold territory, suggesting a pause rather than a reversal. * Immediate Support: $590 (short-term breakout level) * Major Support: $583 and $577 (key demand zones) * Upside Zone: $594–$598 is the next resistance cluster; a breakout could carry to $600 The 9 EMA remains above the 21 EMA, supporting the current bullish bias as long as $590 holds. GEX & Options Flow Options positioning offers balanced but supportive cues: * Call Walls: $594 (highest positive NET GEX / gamma resistance), $596, and $598. * Put Walls: $583 and $575 (biggest downside defenses). * GEX Bias: About 49.5% call exposure with IVR at 16.2 (IVx ~19.8). This shows healthy, moderate option interest with no sign of panic pricing. Dealers remain positioned to hedge dips, favoring a controlled upward drift. Trade Thoughts & Suggestions * Swing Idea: Accumulate near $590 with a stop below $586, aiming for $594–$598 and a stretch to $600. * Scalp Idea: Quick bounce plays off $590 or a breakout scalp if $594 is taken out with strong volume. * Bearish Scenario: A decisive break under $586 could open $583 and $577 as targets. Quick Take QQQ is in a healthy consolidation inside a rising channel. For Sept 17, holding $590 keeps the door open for a move toward $594–$600.

QQQ Technical Outlook – Symmetrical Triangle After Pullback📊 QQQ Technical Outlook – Symmetrical Triangle After Pullback Ticker: QQQ (Invesco Nasdaq-100 ETF) Timeframe: 30-minute candles 🔍 Current Setup QQQ has been in a strong uptrend since June, peaking around ~582 before pulling back. Price is now consolidating into a symmetrical triangle, with: Descending resistance: from ~582 down toward current ~572. Ascending support: from June lows, now near 563–565. Current price: ~572, sitting right near the apex. This structure suggests compression ahead of a breakout move. 📊 Breakout Levels 🚀 Upside (Bullish Scenario) Trigger: Break and close above 575–577. Intermediate Targets: 582–585 → Prior highs. 590 → Extension zone. Measured Move Target: ~600 (triangle height projection). 🔻 Downside (Bearish Scenario) Trigger: Break below 565, with confirmation under 563. Intermediate Supports: 555–552 → First demand zone. 540–542 → Stronger support. Measured Move Target: ~545 (triangle height projection downward). 📈 Volume Analysis Volume has contracted during this triangle — classic consolidation behavior. Expect a volume expansion to confirm the breakout direction. ⚖️ Probability Bias The trend into the pattern was bullish, favoring continuation higher. Still, failure to defend 565 could quickly open downside risk toward 552–545. ✅ Takeaway QQQ is at a major decision point inside a symmetrical triangle: Bullish Break > 577: Targets 582 → 590 → 600 Bearish Break < 565: Targets 555 → 545

QQQ Bullish ContinuationThe chart favors continuation higher with risk of a small dip, not a breakdown QQQ is pressing into $587–$588, right near highs Price is holding above all key momentum averages (stacked bullishly) Momentum Indicator at +9.6, which is positive, but not strongly accelerating Momentum peaked in early summer, but instead of breaking down, it’s grinding sideways & consistent with a “slow grind higher” market No bearish divergence since price makes higher highs, momentum holding steady Since QQQ is grinding up at highs with supportive momentum Buy $590C/Sell $600C (Sept 27 expiry) - cheap defined-risk spread, profit if QQQ pushes another 2% higher Cost basis should be reasonable since implied volatility isn’t spiking Call spreads near $590–$600 with a small put spread hedge is the cleanest way to play This combo is essentially a directional strangle using defined-risk spreads

QQQ Late-Stage Accumulation/Melt-UpQQQ looks like it’s in late-stage accumulation/melt-up mode, not exhaustion Breadth indicators confirm strength If breadth starts diverging (price makes new highs while TRIN flips bearish & TICK dives), that’s when you prep for reversal 1. TRIN Hovering around 0.66, still bullish No broad selling pressure (>1.2) Historically, as soon as you get multiple daily closes >1.2–1.5, that marks real distribution 2. TICK Recently hugging slightly negative territory, but not collapsing This means intraday downticks are outweighing upticks, but only modestly At market tops, you often see TICK roll negative while TRIN stays suppressed, a divergence - worth monitoring Price at highs + TRIN bullish + TICK mildly negative looks like rotation & digestion, not distribution The early warning combo would be if TRIN spikes >1.2 & TICK deeply negative (TICK printing –400 to –600), that would show institutions unloading In strong distribution phases, expect repeated deep negative sweeps (-400 to -600) Right now, breadth is still net supportive

Forex Market Risk Management & Performance Analysis1. Introduction to Forex Market Risk Management Forex trading (foreign exchange trading) involves buying and selling currencies in a highly liquid, 24/5 global market. While it offers profit opportunities, it also carries significant risks due to leverage, volatility, and global economic factors. Risk management is the process of identifying, analyzing, and mitigating these risks to protect trading capital and ensure long-term profitability. 2. Types of Risks in Forex Trading Market Risk (Price Risk) Risk of losses due to currency price movements. Example: A long position in EUR/USD suffers if the euro weakens against the USD. Leverage Risk Forex brokers often allow high leverage (e.g., 50:1, 100:1). Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. A small unfavorable move can wipe out your account if not managed. Liquidity Risk Risk of not being able to enter/exit trades at desired prices. Occurs during off-market hours, holidays, or market shocks. Interest Rate Risk Changes in central bank policies affect currency values. E.g., higher US interest rates can strengthen USD, impacting forex positions. Counterparty Risk Risk that your broker fails to honor transactions. Mitigated by choosing regulated, reputable brokers. Operational & Systemic Risk Risks arising from technical failures, internet outages, or geopolitical events. 3. Core Principles of Forex Risk Management Position Sizing Determine trade size based on account size and risk tolerance. Rule of thumb: Risk 1–2% of capital per trade. Stop-Loss & Take-Profit Orders Stop-loss: Automatically closes a losing trade to limit losses. Take-profit: Secures gains at a predetermined level. Risk-to-Reward Ratio (RRR) Ensures potential reward exceeds risk. Ideal: RRR ≥ 2:1 (risking $1 to make $2). Diversification Avoid over-concentration in a single currency pair. Spread risk across major and minor pairs. Leverage Control High leverage can be tempting but increases drawdown risk. Use only the leverage you can safely manage. Hedging Opening offsetting positions to minimize potential losses. Example: Long EUR/USD and short GBP/USD if highly correlated. Continuous Monitoring & Adaptation Stay updated with economic news, central bank decisions, and geopolitical events. Adjust risk management strategies according to market conditions. 4. Performance Analysis in Forex Trading Performance analysis is essential to understand what works, what doesn’t, and why. Key metrics include: 4.1 Profitability Metrics Net Profit: Total gains minus losses over a period. Return on Investment (ROI): (Net Profit / Initial Capital) × 100. Average Gain / Average Loss: Helps evaluate the effectiveness of winning vs. losing trades. 4.2 Risk Metrics Maximum Drawdown (MDD): Largest peak-to-trough loss. Volatility of Returns: Measures stability of profits. High volatility may indicate high risk. Win Rate: Percentage of profitable trades. High win rate alone doesn’t guarantee profitability if risk-reward ratio is poor. 4.3 Efficiency Metrics Profit Factor: Total gains / total losses. Profit factor > 1.5 indicates a robust strategy. Sharpe Ratio: Risk-adjusted return; higher is better. Expectancy: (Avg Win × Win Rate) – (Avg Loss × Loss Rate). Measures average expected profit per trade. 5. Tools & Techniques for Risk Management & Analysis Trading Journals Track every trade, including entry, exit, reason, outcome, and emotions. Helps identify patterns and improve strategy. Risk Management Software / Platforms MetaTrader 4/5, TradingView, NinjaTrader offer risk calculators and performance dashboards. Backtesting & Forward Testing Simulate strategies using historical data to assess potential risks and returns. Correlation Analysis Analyze how currency pairs move relative to each other to avoid concentrated risk. Volatility Indicators ATR (Average True Range), Bollinger Bands, and VIX (for global risk sentiment) help gauge risk levels. 6. Practical Example of Risk Management Assume: Account size = $10,000 Risk per trade = 2% ($200) EUR/USD trade: entry = 1.1000, stop-loss = 1.0950 (50 pips) Position size calculation: Risk per pip = $200 ÷ 50 pips = $4 per pip This ensures the maximum loss on this trade is $200. Performance tracking: Track trade outcome: win or loss, pips gained/lost, and account impact. Use cumulative metrics to assess overall strategy effectiveness. Psychological Risk Management Trader Psychology impacts risk management. Common pitfalls: Overtrading due to greed or fear Ignoring stop-loss orders Revenge trading after losses Mitigation Strategies: Predefined trading plan Journaling emotions along with trades Stick to fixed risk % per trade Conclusion Effective risk management and performance analysis in forex trading are inseparable: Risk management protects your capital and ensures survivability in volatile markets. Performance analysis provides insights to optimize strategies, reduce unnecessary losses, and improve profitability. A disciplined trader always combines position sizing, stop-losses, leverage control, and data-driven performance tracking. Without these, even the best strategies can fail due to poor risk management.
