Nvidia beat expectations – But why is the stock dropping? Time to buy the dip?

Khit Wong Gann Explained

Feeling confused about Nvidia’s stock drop despite their stellar earnings report?

You’re not alone.

Market sentiment doesn’t align with financial performance.

In this guide, we’ll dive into how you can decode market behavior using Repeat Energy Patterns, based on the principles of W.D. Gann, to better predict stock trends and make informed decisions.

What you will learn:

How to identify and use Repeat Energy Patterns in trading

Steps to analyze Nvidia’s current trading chart

Repeat Energy Patterns: A Guide for Your Trading Decisions

Now, let’s talk about strategies.

What are repeat Energy patterns?

Repeat Energy Patterns come from WD Gann’s Stock & Commodities Course methods.

These patterns help us see trends and trading opportunities before other Technical Indicators and Patterns, such as Gartley or Butterfly.

Look for repeat patterns

In mid-August, the WD Gann Repeat Energy Indicator signaled a buy for Nvidia at $116.53.

Guess what happened next?

The price rallied up to the $129 level.

August 22: A turning point

On August 22, the indicator signaled a downtrend as the price broke at $126.93. This signaled a trend change as the price dips below the Repeat Energy Pattern. Take profit and exit the trade.

By August 27, I had made a live call to short-sell Nvidia BEFORE the earnings report on August 29.

What happened next?

Nvidia's stock fell even though revenue beat expectations. But the news wasn't enough to push the price up again.

Action plan

1. Use the WD Gann indicator.

On August 27, based on the downtrend signal, I recommended short-selling Nvidia. This wasn't a guess; it was based on the patterns we’ve been discussing.

2. Identify the repeat Energy pattern.

Examining the Stock Chart helps you see Repeat Patterns and price levels. Watch the market closely, and look for Repeat Energy Patterns to see if a change of trend, buy or sell opportunity.

Final words

The repeat Energy patterns indicate an implicit rule of the trend that drives the market. The market consistently makes lower lows, confirming the downward movement and leading to a drop in the stock price.

This trading method provides a framework for understanding market movements at the moment, not after the fact.

Remember, the key to trading is continuous learning and adapting. So keep honing your skills, stay informed, and don't fear taking calculated risks.

Happy trading!

GBP/USD consolidates around 1.3330 as traders await Fed rate decision

The GBP/USD pair kicks off the new week on a subdued note and oscillates in a narrow trading band, around the 1.3320-1.3325 region, during the Asian session.

Week ahead: Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low. Dollar weakness could linger; both the aussie and the yen best positioned to gain further.

The Silver disconnection is real

Silver just hit a new all-time high. Neither did gold, nor mining stocks. They all reversed on an intraday basis, but silver’s move to new highs makes it still bullish overall, while the almost complete reversals in gold and miners make the latter technically bearish.
