Is this a top or just a sideways correction to pattern out excessive price gains that are above current fundamentals? This is the big question when studying stocks right now. NASDAQ:AAPL is definitely not a sideways trend right at the moment, but is it a downside run after a top? What is missing? There are 2 lower highs BUT just ONE lower low. To confirm...
Strong volume is important in a sideways market. Always check to make sure volume is increasing during the run for entries and holds.

The new bellwether for the semiconductor industry is reporting earnings Wednesday AMC, after the market close, which is not a good sign.

IF NASDAQ:NVDA drops, so too will the NASDAQ:NDX and ...
The Daily Chart of NYSE:BA shows where the probable support will halt the selling for Boeing. The long sideways trend is close to being a platform.

If it dips deeper, it is likely to be temporary and should shift back to the higher area of the sideways trend.
Yesterday's Top Gainer for the NASDAQ has found support at a precise technical level. This is usually technical professional traders. There could also be a few Dark Pools in the mix. DPO Cycle Chart: The Detrending Price Oscillator I use to show the long-term cycle of a stock shows an Extreme Peak which needs to pattern out with the stock shifting sideways...
NASDAQ:UPST has been running up speculatively after completing its bottom. It has mostly retail groups and smaller funds holding so that is why the stock has up and down days in an irrational trend pattern often. HFTs are in the mix regularly inspiring the speculation. The company reports Monday of next week. Looks like Pro Traders used a swing trading earnings...
With a lot of attention ahead of its earnings report, NYSE:QS had a volatile reaction to the report yesterday, but it is one of several companies vying for dominance in Solid State Battery technology. Auto parts are a niche sub-industry of Electric Vehicles to pay attention to for both short term and long term. From the weekly chart: The stock is building a...
NASDAQ:TSLA reported earnings after market close yesterday. Pro traders took profits before the close as the run became technically overextended. It gapped down today, but not on the extreme volume we'd expect from the usual HFT activity around earnings. Profit and Operating margins are decreasing quarter over quarter, but revenues and net income are...
NASDAQ:NVDA has shifted sideways since the huge earnings breakaway gap, a pattern that tends to provide strong support for profit-taking. Unlike NASDAQ:AMD , the trend doesn't appear to be at risk of shifting into a downtrend at this time.

Lucid and Rivian, both new components of the NASDAQ:NDX , have been showing up on the High-Volume Institutional Activity recently.

The Weekly Chart of NASDAQ:COIN shows that the stock has been struggling to build a bottom despite some early buying from large lots within the sideways action of the bottoming range. Coinbase has future growth potential as an investment, but the CEO and Board need to realize that the SEC rules the securities markets and that Cryptos, as digital assets, are...
NVDA's gap up on a stellar earnings report should NOT have been a surprise, as the chart has been showing strength since January when I mentioned it in my Morning Reports. It was completing the bottom at that time. The trend upward was showing pro traders in control of price after Dark Pool quiet accumulation. It has 64% of the shares held by institutions, which...
Zoom is showing a pre-earnings release run up out of its extreme low, ahead of its Q1 report today. The current run's pattern is indicative of professional traders swing trading with earnings strategies; they tend to take profits on the report since they bought at the low. While revenues are likely to come in below last quarter, earnings should improve over the...
Professional traders controlled this sideways pattern that held higher lows before the break to the upside and gap up above the W bottom completion resistance, which is now strong support. Short-term profit-taking at the resistance overhead is something to prepare for now.
A setup that implies a potentially strong earnings report. HFTs could gap this stock. It has been as high as $50.
Morgan Stanley has a pre-earnings run moving up to its earnings report ahead of the open tomorrow. Last quarter had a similar setup for swing trading.

This is making many companies show what appears to be far better...
