Peter Mathers TradingLounge

NASDAQ 100 (NDX), S&P 500 (SPX), Bitcoin (BTC), Apple (AAPL), Tesla (TSLA), Amazon (AMZN), Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), Meta Platforms (META), Netflix (NFLX), and Alphabet (GOOGL).

NDX tech stocks: Elliott Wave patterns and market movements

Currently, the Elliott Wave count for many tech stocks follows a pattern of v of (v) of iii) of 1 of (5) of 3). While this general count applies to most stocks, intraday movements show that many stocks are moving similarly. We anticipate that the markets will edge higher through a series of Wave Fours, indicating a rough ride upward. It's important to avoid overtrading during this period. The next major trading opportunity will arise once Minor Wave 2 is established, which could take about a month. In the short term, we will look for swing trading opportunities from Wave iv) to Wave v of 1.

Gold remains offered below $5,000

Gold stays on the defensive on Tuesday, receding to the sub-$5,000 region per troy ounce on the back of the persistent move higher in the Greenback. The precious metal’s decline is also underpinned by the modest uptick in US Treasury yields across the spectrum.
