NASDAQ — Can buyers finally break through?
🏆NASDAQ is once again testing the descending dynamic resistance after bouncing strongly from the lower demand zone. Buyers have regained short-term momentum, but the market is still trading beneath a key trendline that has rejected price multiple times.
🔥Previously:
📈 Bullish scenario
If buyers manage to break and hold above the descending dynamic resistance, the current recovery could extend toward the next major supply zone around 30,650–30,800. A confirmed breakout would shift momentum back in favor of the bulls and increase the probability of a continuation higher.
📉 Bearish scenario
As long as price remains below the dynamic resistance, another rejection is still possible. Losing the recent recovery structure could send the market back toward the lower demand zone around 28,450–28,650, where buyers may look to step in again.
Right now, the dynamic resistance is the key level to watch. A breakout favors continuation to the upside, while another rejection keeps the broader corrective structure intact.

DXY: Consolidation, Liquidity Hunts, and the Next Macro MoveHi!
The US Dollar Index (DXY) is sitting at a critical macro inflection point on the weekly chart, currently trading around 101.109. After breaking down below a massive weekly support level (now acting as a Flip Area around 100.175), the index has entered a prolonged consolidation phase right in the middle of a major descending channel.
What makes the current price action highly interesting is the clear liquidity hunt on both sides of this range. We saw a clean sweep of the range lows near 96.00, followed by a recent aggressive push to hunt the buy-side liquidity above the range highs around 101.20.
With the liquidity cleared on both ends, DXY is gearing up for its next directional leg. Here are the two primary structural scenarios playing out.
Scenario 1: Direct Rejection & Drop (Immediate Bearish Continuation)
The Setup: The recent upward push is treated purely as a fakeout/liquidity hunt to grab stop-losses above the consolidation range.
Price Action: Price fails to sustain any weekly closes above the current level and immediately starts breaking back inside the range.
Target: A direct structural sell-off heading down toward the macro Target Area at 94.626, aligning perfectly with the lower boundary of the descending channel.
Scenario 2: Extended Pullback to Supply before Drop
The Setup: Instead of an immediate sell-off, DXY builds enough short-term momentum from the liquidity sweep to fuel a deeper corrective rally.
Price Action: Price extends upward to test the major overhead Supply & Demand (S&D) zone at 103.157, which lines up with previous structural breakdowns.
Target: After tapping this strong macro supply zone and mitigating resting orders, the index experiences a heavy rejection, ultimately dropping back down to fulfill the final 94.626 macro target.

S&P 500: Potential Topping SignalsThe S&P 500 has drifted for two months, and some traders may see potential signs of topping.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the June 15 peak of 7,578. SPX closed Friday at that old weekly high, followed by a drop on Monday. Staying below that level could suggest that resistance has taken hold.
Second, narrowing Bollinger Bandwidth may reflect a potential lull before volatility rebounds.
Third, the index peaked at 7,273 on May 5 and bounced there 5-6 weeks later. Could traders expect a retest of that level?
Finally, prices are near the rising 50-day simple moving average. Could a drop beneath it signal an intermediate-term reversal?

The Dow Jones trades around 52,504 points, a step away from the intraday all-time high printed this week at 53,294, and it is consolidating just below that ceiling after a rally that carried it from the 45,000 area to fresh records. Price is digesting the impulse without giving up relevant ground. On the daily timeframe the EMA stack remains ordered to the upside, with the EMA 9 (52,488) above the EMA 20 (52,103) and those over the EMA 50, 100 and 200. Price leans on the EMA 5 (52,561) and the EMA 9 as the first dynamic cushion. In Smart Money structure the daily timeframe keeps a bullish bias, with the latest event a bullish change of character and two active demand zones below price serving as reference support. The nuance comes from short-term momentum. The daily MACD prints its main line (513) slightly below its signal (548) with a barely negative histogram, and the fast Stochastic, with the 5 period at 39 and the 14 at 62, has cooled from overbought. It is the footprint of a pause within the trend, not a reversal.
Monthly Analysis. On the larger timeframe the primary trend is at maximum strength. The EMA stack is perfectly ordered to the upside, with price well above the EMA 9 (49,671) and the EMA 20 (46,905), and without a single bearish crossover in the whole sequence. The MACD keeps its main line (3,187) over the signal (2,854) with a positive 332 histogram, meaning underlying momentum in full bullish expansion. The TRIX holds the fast line above the slow one and confirms the bias. The Smart Money read on the larger timeframe is clearly bullish, chaining higher highs and higher lows with no bearish change of character breaking the sequence, and the latest structural event is a bullish shift. The only nuance is saturation. The Stochastic keeps its four periods above 94 and the RSI 14 reads 71.8, an embedded-trend reading in overbought that describes strength rather than immediate exhaustion.
Weekly Analysis. The intermediate timeframe confirms the same direction in more detail. The EMA stack stays aligned to the upside, with price above the EMA 9 (51,638) and the EMA 20 (50,412) as the base of the leg. The MACD prints its main line (1,318) over the signal (1,061) with a 256 histogram, mid-term momentum in expansion. The TRIX remains bullish. The most relevant Smart Money read appears on this timeframe. The latest event is a bullish break of structure at 50,512, a level the index has left behind and that now behaves as structural reference support, with weekly structure bullish and active demand zones below. The caution is again the overbought condition, with the Stochastic on the 89 and 50 periods above 95 and the RSI 14 at 68.7, a high zone that invites consolidation before the next extension.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average groups thirty large leading companies of the United States economy and is price-weighted, which gives it a greater tilt toward the industrial, financial, healthcare and consumer sectors than toward pure technology. That makes the index the most direct thermometer of risk appetite in the traditional economy and a mirror of the rotation between growth and value. The underlying catalyst is the resilience of corporate earnings and the flow toward quality companies with solid dividends. The main risk is macro. Uncertainty over the path of interest rates and the direction of long-term yields conditions valuations, and the price weighting means a handful of high-priced components carry a disproportionate weight over the whole.
Key levels:
- Intraday all-time high: 53,294 (resistance and record to beat)
- Psychological resistance: 53,000 (round zone ahead of the record)
- Extension: 54,000 (projection if it clears the highs)
- Dynamic support: daily EMA 5 and EMA 9 (52,488-52,561)
- Immediate support: daily EMA 20 and 52,000 (base of the consolidation)
- Intermediate support: daily EMA 50 (51,096)
- Smart Money structural support: 50,512 and weekly EMA 20 (prior break of structure)
- Structural low: 49,250-49,633 (last protected higher low)
Setup Rating — 3/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭒⭒ (Very solid primary trend at all-time highs, with extreme mid and long-term overbought and the record not yet cleared on a close)
✅ Positive factors:
- EMA stack 9/20/50/100/200 perfectly aligned on monthly, weekly and daily, with no bearish crossover
- Bullish Smart Money structure across the three timeframes, with a recent weekly break of structure confirming continuation
- Monthly and weekly MACD in full bullish expansion, with underlying momentum intact
- Price digesting at highs with the fast Stochastic already cooled from overbought, no deterioration in the underlying trend
- Price holding above the entire dynamic stack without losing the daily EMA 9
⚠️ Cautions:
- Stochastic saturated above 94 on monthly and above 95 on the long periods of the weekly, extreme overbought
- Daily MACD with the line below its signal and a negative histogram, short-term momentum cooling
- Daily TRIX with the fast line crossing below the slow one, a first warning of tactical momentum fading
- All-time high at 53,294 still not cleared on a close, with the index attacking it for a second time
- Macro risk from the uncertainty over the rate path and its effect on valuations
👍 As long as the index defends the daily EMA 9 and the 52,000 zone, the bias stays toward continuation. A break of the all-time high at 53,294 on a close would confirm a fresh bullish Smart Money break of structure and open the path toward the 54,000 extension. A lateral consolidation of one or two weeks between 52,000 and 53,294 that cools the Stochastic without losing the daily EMA 9 would be the cleanest setup for the next leg.
👎 Loss of 52,000 and of the daily EMA 9 on a close would open a retracement toward the daily EMA 50 (51,096) and, if it extends, toward the structural support at 50,512, where the weekly EMA 20 coincides. That level is the reference that decides the thesis. A close below the last higher low would turn Smart Money structure bearish, a change of character that would force a review. Above that zone, any drop is a healthy correction to purge the overbought.
Would you buy the record break or wait for a pullback to support first? 👇 Long

Still Boxed In: Nifty Refuses to Break Free From the 8th July Cage
🗞 Nifty Summary
Nifty opened with a gap down of 115 points on fear sentiment driven by geopolitical news. Around 42 points below the open, it found a base near 24,050 and sharply recovered 106 points from the day low, testing the 24,160 resistance level — a zone that had earlier acted as support. Rejection came swiftly, and the index fell back with the same intensity, retesting the IBL.
From there, Nifty stayed range-bound within the IB — volatile, but going nowhere. IBL was tested multiple times and held, until around 2:45 PM when it appeared to break. That too turned out to be a fakeout. After hovering around the IBL for the rest of the session, the day closed at 24,035.15 — above the PDL, but without much conviction in either direction.
Today’s range was entirely inside the previous day’s range. The daily candle formed something close to a doji with just 133 points — roughly half the Gladiator average range. This is Nifty’s 4th consecutive session still inside the range of 8th July 2026.

🧠 Final Thoughts
“Four sessions inside one range. The market is not lost — it is loading.”
Today’s session was a good reminder that not every gap-down needs a resolution the same day. The sharp 106-point recovery from the low looked promising, but 24,160 held as resistance and the index drifted back. IBL was tested multiple times — the fakeout at 2:45 PM was the clearest signal that neither side had enough edge to commit.
For tomorrow, 24,160 remains the key level to watch on the upside. If Nifty can push above and hold it, 24,250 and 24,300 come into play. On the downside, 23,975 is the first meaningful support — a break below that could open up 23,900.
This is now the 4th session inside the 8th July range. The longer this consolidation holds, the sharper the eventual move might be — in either direction. For now, patience seems like the better trade.

POSSIBLE NASDAQ SHORT 14 JULY 2026Higher-Timeframe Bias
The chart has transitioned from a bullish impulse into a bearish market structure.
Key observations:
The previous 15m bullish structure was broken (IBOS) after the strong rejection from the highs.
Price has since produced:
Lower highs
Lower lows
Strong impulsive bearish legs
Weak corrective rallies
That sequence suggests bears remain in control.
Current Price Action
The bounce from around 29,100–29,200 looks corrective rather than impulsive.
Reasons:
The recovery candles are relatively small.
Momentum is weaker than the previous selloff.
Buyers have yet to reclaim any significant swing high.
Until a meaningful Change of Character (ChoCh) occurs to the upside, rallies are more likely to be retracements than trend reversals.
Selling Area
I marked Plan A zone around 29,560–29,620 makes sense because it aligns with:
Previous support becoming resistance
Internal liquidity
A likely lower-high formation
Discount-to-premium retracement of the latest bearish leg
This is exactly where I'd expect sellers to become active if the bearish trend is intact.
What I'd Like to See Before Selling
Rather than selling immediately into the zone, I'd wait for confirmation.
For example:
Price trades into the supply area.
Liquidity is swept above an intraday high.
A bearish ChoCh forms on the lower timeframe (1m–5m).
A lower high develops.
Enter on the pullback after confirmation.
That avoids fading a rally that's still expanding.
Bearish Targets
If sellers defend zone A:
Target 1
Recent swing low around 29,300
Target 2
Liquidity below 29,180–29,100
Target 3
Major support around 29,010
If momentum increases, price could eventually revisit the large demand area near 28,850, which matches the larger take-profit region.
What Invalidates the Bearish Idea
The bearish thesis weakens if price:
Closes decisively above Plan A resistance.
Produces a strong bullish ChoCh.
Begins printing higher highs and higher lows.
Holds above approximately 29,610 after a retest.
In that case, waiting for Plan B zone near 29,800–29,900 would be the more disciplined approach
Overall Read
At the moment I'd describe the market as:
Trend: Bearish
Momentum: Bearish
Current bounce: Corrective until proven otherwise
Best trade location: Wait for price to retrace into the marked supply zone and look for lower-timeframe bearish confirmation rather than anticipating the reversal.
That approach keeps me trading with the prevailing structure instead of trying to predict where the bounce will end. Short

NSDQ100 ahead of US CPI The Nasdaq 100 came under pressure on Monday as a sharp rise in oil prices and renewed geopolitical tensions fuelled stagflation concerns, while another sell-off in semiconductor stocks weighed heavily on the technology sector. Brent crude surged almost 10% to above $83 a barrel after further US-Iran escalation and President Trump's announcement of an "Iranian blockade" in the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of higher inflation and slower economic growth.
Technology stocks bore the brunt of the move, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index falling 4.78%, dragging the Nasdaq lower by 1.55%. The broader S&P 500 also declined 0.79%, although the majority of its constituents finished higher, highlighting how weakness in the large-cap technology sector dominated overall market performance.
Higher oil prices also pushed Treasury yields sharply higher, with the 2-year Treasury yield climbing to 4.28% and the 10-year reaching 4.62%, increasing pressure on high-growth technology stocks that are particularly sensitive to rising interest rates.
Today's key focus for Nasdaq traders is the US June CPI report. A softer-than-expected inflation reading could ease Treasury yields and provide support for technology shares, while an upside surprise would likely reinforce expectations of tighter Fed policy, keeping pressure on growth stocks. Investors will also closely watch Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's testimony before Congress and earnings from major US banks, which could influence broader market sentiment heading into the heart of earnings season.

Nasdaq Faces Inflation Concerns!The Nasdaq Index is currently trading within a pivotal price zone that could serve as the starting point for a significant move in the coming sessions. But what could trigger such a move, and what technical and fundamental factors support this scenario?
Let's take a look at the key observations on the chart:
1- The Nasdaq continues to trade sideways but remains below the key resistance level around 29,850.
2- On the downside, a strong support zone has formed near 29,100, which has successfully contained selling pressure in recent sessions.
3- In addition, the 200-period moving average is positioned close to the 29,850 resistance area, reinforcing its importance as a major technical barrier.
On the fundamental side, U.S. President Donald Trump announced his intention to impose a 20% tariff on shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a measure that could increase global energy transportation and trade costs if implemented.
At the same time, markets are awaiting the release of the U.S. inflation data, while expectations continue to shift toward interest rates remaining higher for longer. Together, these factors could trigger heightened volatility and stronger price movements across financial markets.
Will the Nasdaq break above the 29,850 resistance level, or will it fall below the 29,100 support level?
