Weekly Market Wrap: Has the Stock Market Bottomed?
Weekly AMA on Instagram - Ask me anything about trading & investing, stock picks, market analysis, etc!
Last week, we saw a continuation of the existing trends, but since these trends have been running for quite a while, it is likely we will have a short-term rebound, even if the longer-term trends remain intact.
We saw weakness in the USD, and strength in commodities like good, oil, agriculture, etc. This is in line with the inflationary pressures we have been observing.
The most interesting thing is the rebound in stock prices, but it is likely only temporary before the major downtrend continues.
Crypto markets are facing huge weakness after the Luna/UST saga, and have somewhat decoupled from stocks for the last week.

“Here [in Davos] everybody’s pessimistic,” says Standard Chartered Chairman José Viñals. “But when I ask them how their business is doing, the picture is wonderful. It may be that the business reality catches up with the [very negative] macro-political reality.”
Product: US Stock Index
Name: NASDAQ 100
Ticker: US100
Exchange: N/A
Analysis: Updating the trade parameters since the previous TP has already been hit.
Prices are having a small rebound but there is still a higher chance of prices going down further after the rebound.
So far, NASDAQ has corrected 30% from ATHs while S&P 500 has corrected 20%. That is still very small compared to the run up for the past 10-20 years.
EP: Current price, or on pullbacks
SL: $12750
TP: $11540, $11000
Crypto Market Highlights
Product: Cryptocurrency
Name: Ethereum
Ticker: ETHUSD
Exchange: N/A
Analysis: Following up, Ethereum is now at the critical price level. Our trade call remains the same.
If prices break below this level, then it will be quite dangerous. The overall price pattern does not look that bullish.
On the other hand, when we look at the long-term weekly chart, we can see 8 consecutive weeks of price decline, which suggests at least a potential technical rebound.
The weekly 200-EMA also provides some potential support. The weekly RSI is also very near the oversold zone.
In short, the trend is uncertain but there is a high chance of a rebound in the short/medium-term.
EP: Current price
SL: $1650
TP: $2600+
Good luck, and may next week bring more excellent profits!
