When Markets Hit Records, Should You Still Be Buying?The Nasdaq NASDAQ:IXIC is back at record highs . The S&P 500 SPCFD:SPX and Dow TVC:DJI have recently been there too. AI stocks are running again, AMD NASDAQ:AMD has crossed the $1 trillion mark while traders stare at their screens and ask: Should I buy at the top? It's one of the most natural instincts in markets. We happily buy a TV after its price falls 20%, yet become suspicious when stocks do the opposite. Surely waiting for a pullback is smarter than buying at the highest price

Nasdaq: Is a Correction Coming? Distribution at the Highs?# Nasdaq at the Highs: Price Is Strong, but the Internals Are Sending a Warning The Nasdaq remains near its highs, but the current structure is beginning to show signs that deserve attention. This is not a prediction of an immediate market crash, nor is it an attempt to call the exact top. The question is much simpler: **Is the risk/reward of remaining aggressively long beginning to deteriorate?** I believe the answer may be yes. ## The Divergence The first warning comes from momentum.

What the Market Is Trading Now: AI Selectivity, Not AI Euphoria Markets barely moved at the index level this week — but that calm is misleading. The tape is telling a sharper story: capital is no longer paying for the AI theme as a bloc. It is paying for proof. Execution, demand visibility, and monetization timeline are the only things being rewarded, and everything else is being sold. Our market-temperature model captures the split cleanly. The Nasdaq (IXIC) printed a TEMP10 of 69.35 — into defensive territory — while the S&P 500 (SPX, 80.06) and Dow (DJI,

Nasdaq composite breakout is clear Nasdaq composite corrected 10% and then quickly broke out of its channel that began from its previous high. It is a clear strong volume breakout. Expect a little retest and then as long as it bounces off the channel, it is a clear breakout run to new highs. QQQ long, NQ long.

Will we put in new ATHs before the year is out?I was asked in my community if we would put in new ATHs before the year is out. My standard answer is always: I don't know. It's really above my pay grade. I only react to the shifts. (which this is true) But I also provided some context and I wanted to share it here with you too: Looking at this historically, I can see it. We can put 3 legs in before a deeper correction or bear market. Take a look. The market is cyclical, the market has a natural upward drift, the market has patterns. R

The Nasdaq feels the Fed hardest. Which way today?Not every chart feels the Fed the same. Watch a rate decision drop across a few charts at once and you notice it. They all move, but the Nasdaq moves like it heard the news louder. I keep it (TVC:IXIC) front and center on Fed days for that reason: when the Fed talks, this is the ticker that flinches first and hardest. This week it counts. The FOMC, the Federal Reserve committee that sets US interest rates, meaning the cost of borrowing dollars, meets Wednesday, and the decision lands at 2pm. Th

NASDAQ: SUPER BULLISH The Nasdaq is currently advancing through Wave 3 of a larger supercycle. Although the market has recently gone through a correction, I expect another powerful liquidity-driven rally to begin in August. From an Elliott Wave perspective, the Nasdaq has developed a nested 1-2, 1-2 setup. If this structure remains valid, the next major advance should unfold as Wave 3 of 3, typically the strongest and most explosive phase of an impulsive cycle.

Why Traders Sell Winners Too Early and Hold Losers Too Long Here's an academic read to pull you away from the AI trade noise for five minutes. At some point, almost every trader notices a pattern in their own history that makes for uncomfortable reading. The winning trades are small. Closed too soon, before the move played out, because the profit felt good and locking it in felt safer than watching it evaporate. The “bird in the hand,” right? The losing trades are large. Held too long, well past the point where the original thesis broke down, because

Path of least resistance remains to the upside Down nearly 8% from record highs of 27,190, the Nasdaq Composite recently shook hands with the 50-day SMA at 25,045, a dynamic value that is closely bolstered by a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at 24,729. The nearby decision point area is seen overhead at 26,268-26,078, with a break above this area paving the way for a run to resistance at 26,719. To the downside, beyond current support, opens the door to another layer of support at 23,828 and 23,972. Ultimately, with the trend still very much

The vertical AI rise versus the value King - IXIC/Berkshire Stop waiting for the world to end.

Nasdaq Soars 20% in Three Weeks. Boom Just in Time for Earnings?The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite NASDAQ:IXIC has climbed nearly 20% from its March 30 low, delivering the fastest rebound traders have seen this year. Moves of that size usually arrive alongside strong catalysts, shifting expectations, or a sudden improvement in global mood. This time the spark came partly from easing tensions around the US–Iran conflict, which helped calm energy markets and send risk assets to record highs . A relief rally quickly became a momentum rally, and momentum attrac

Nasdaq：Continuation or Correction?NASDAQ:IXIC 1. Monthly Timeframe: The Strategic Pivot The Nasdaq is currently retesting key support at the T2 structural level. As a critical confirmation point for the macro trend, stability here is paramount. We are at a "crossroads" where market sentiment is shifting: the next few candles will determine if this is a bullish mid-point continuation or the beginning of a deeper mid-term correction. A confirmed bottom reversal pattern at this T2 level is the prerequisite for any long-term long

NASDAQ SHORT The chart already shows a rollover with price sitting beneath a downward sloping trend structure and consistently making lower highs, which means it does not need much macro pressure to continue lower and that pressure is building. Geopolitically, persistent instability keeps energy elevated and feeds directly into inflation expectations, which constrains the Fed’s ability to ease. The Nasdaq is highly sensitive to rates staying higher for longer because its valuations are tied to future cash fl

SHORT NASDAQ?Technical analysis of the Nasdaq focuses on extracting structure from price, volatility, and liquidity rather than attempting to value companies directly. Because the Nasdaq is heavily weighted toward high-growth technology firms, its price behavior often exhibits strong momentum regimes, volatility clustering, and sharp liquidity-driven reversals. Analysts typically examine trend persistence through moving averages, market breadth indicators such as advance–decline lines, and momentum oscillato

5 day chart A Nasdaq Composite chart typically displays the aggregate price movement of thousands of technology-heavy equities listed on the NASDAQ Composite Index. Because the index is market-capitalization weighted, a small group of large firms—such as Apple Inc., Microsoft, NVIDIA, Amazon, and Alphabet Inc.—exerts a disproportionate influence on its trajectory.
