Nasdaq: To bleed or not to bleed? STRUCTURE CONTEXT: Strength Context: Sellers Dominating RSI Divergence: Present Control Variant: Sellers Have Full Control EMA Confluence: 400EMA Reversion Balance Context: Bearish Psychology Levels: $24,000 and $25,000 STRUCTURE ANALYSIS: For the last 10 months we have seen a constant rise in price. Now interrupted in November and momentum now confirmed in December. Price rejected 4 times when buyers attempted to reclaim price structure. Since then sellers have been dominating for 10 days with no signs of stopping. With two retracements and an indecision in price on the Daily TF at $23,800, plus a crossover of the 9EMA and the 400EMA with reversion, and the lower lows and lower highs printed, we see great downwards confluence to claim open orders at $23,800 and most likely reverse to try and reclaim trend. LONG SCENARIO: - Price continues to retrace down to $23,800 where price was greatly rejected twice. - Sellers then reach exhaustion and buyers reclaim price and attempt to push price to new highs. SHORT SCENARIO: - After price failing to make a new higher high sellers take control once more after exhausting buyers. - Mitigating 50% of the imbalance in price we see a hard rejection to a new lower low using the strength of the 400 EMA reversion to the downside.

VIX Weekly: Bearish Engulfment Suggests Continued ComplacencyContext: The recent large Bearish Engulfment (highlighted in the orange box) followed by consecutive Bearish candles with shrinking bodies suggests that market participants expect continued low volatility in the near term. This price action reflects a period of increasing market complacency. Expectation: Low Volatility Case: If the VIX continues to hold below current resistance (gap line), expect the S&P 500 to maintain its bullish grind. Volatility Spike Case: A move to Close the Gap line could signal a shift in sentiment. If the gap is filled, I would watch for a sharp increase in the VIX and a potential corrective phase in the equity markets.

SPX Weekly: Bear Trap at 50% lvl or Expansion of Trading Range?Context: The market remains in a dominant tight bull upward trend. Having recently pulled back to test the weekly 20 EMA; The key question now is whether the bulls will aggressively step back in to drive price toward the Measured Move targets, or if the current trading range will resolve into a deeper pullback toward the Monthly 20 EMA. Expectation: Given the strength of the prior bullish leg, I expect at least a second leg up to test the recent highs. Bulls are currently looking for a firm rejection off the 50% retracement level. Depending on how bearish this weekly bar closes, could potentially trap Double Top BRs. Bull Case: If we reach the previous highs with strong momentum and follow-through, the trend likely resumes. Bear Case: If volatility drops and price stalls at the highs, be wary of BRs stepping in leading to a bearish breakout to Monthly 20 EMA.

US500 (S&P 500) – Multi-Lens Market AnalysisMarket Snapshot The US500 is marginally lower in the latest session, trading in the high-6,700s to low-6,800s, reflecting a mild risk-off tone on the day. This pullback follows an extended rally and appears corrective rather than trend-breaking. Fundamental Analysis: Cooling Data, Still-Supportive Backdrop From a fundamental perspective, the recent softness reflects macro digestion rather than deterioration. US macro data has turned mixed, particularly on the labour front, where job growth and wage pressures show signs of gradual cooling. This reinforces expectations that the Fed is nearing the later stages of its tightening cycle and edging closer to easing. Earnings fundamentals remain constructive. Corporate profitability has proven resilient, supported by productivity gains, cost discipline, and ongoing AI-related investment themes. Monetary policy remains a tailwind, albeit with diminishing marginal impact. While the market continues to price eventual Fed cuts, policymakers remain cautious, keeping financial conditions from loosening too aggressively. Bottom line: Fundamentals support the broader bull trend, but incremental upside now depends more on earnings delivery than macro relief. Sentiment Analysis: Constructive, but No Longer Unquestioning Market sentiment has shifted from outright bullish momentum to a more selective and tactical stance. Risk appetite remains intact, but investors are increasingly sensitive to macro surprises after a strong run-up in valuations. The pullback suggests profit-taking rather than fear, consistent with an environment where positioning is elevated and good news is already priced in. Volatility remains contained, signalling no systemic risk-off move, but investors are demanding confirmation before extending exposure further. Sentiment takeaway: Confidence remains high, but markets are less willing to chase highs without fresh catalysts. Technical Analysis: Consolidation Within a Primary Uptrend Technically, the index continues to exhibit bullish structure, despite near-term weakness. Trend: Higher highs and higher lows remain intact on medium- and long-term charts. Support levels: Initial support near 6,650 Deeper support around 6,515 which would likely attract dip buyers if tested Resistance: Near-term resistance at 6,750 Next Resistance: 6,920 (recent highs) Momentum: Indicators suggest mild overbought conditions have eased, which improves the sustainability of any next upside leg. The current price action resembles healthy consolidation, allowing momentum to reset after an extended advance. Overall Assessment The US500’s latest pullback appears to be a pause within a broader uptrend, rather than a shift in market regime. Fundamentally, growth and earnings remain supportive; sentiment has cooled from exuberance to discipline; and technically, the index remains comfortably above key trend support. Key risk: A sharper slowdown in US growth or a policy surprise that tightens financial conditions. Base case: Sideways-to-higher consolidation, with renewed upside dependent on earnings confirmation and clarity on the Fed’s easing timeline. Conclusion: The market is not breaking — it is recalibrating. Analysis by Terence Hove, Senior Financial Markets Strategist at Exness

US30 | Hourly Outlook | 2 ScenariosWe are overall bullish and we are approaching the hourly swing low. We have been internally making lower lows and lower highs. I will want to see price either go up from where its at currently and retest the interal supply to then go and take out the hourly low or go straight down from where its at and sweep the hourly low and tap into the hourly ob. Whatever scenario happens, I will be monitoring lower timeframe price action for confirmation at either zone. Trade Safe -Remzy

US500: Beware of a Possible DowntrendUS500: Beware of a Possible Downtrend US500 found a strong resistance area near 6920, as we can see the price reacting quickly. There is a high possibility that we will have a strong resistance area near the top of the structure, which could push the price back down to the bottom of a larger corrective pattern, with support/target 6500 - 6550. I don't like to sell indices in these extremely bullish conditions, but you can take this as a possible downside scenario that this move could happen, and it could help you in your trading. If you want to sell indices, I would only advise you to buy PUT options, considering that the risk is more limited compared to CFD trading. The price could fall to 6700 and 6500, created by year-end profits. If the price moves above 6920, this analysis will be invalid. You may find more details in the chart! Thank you and Good Luck!
