Sharing $NVDA support levels after today's humbling and disconcerting 10.0% decline...the 50-day MA was penetrated, putting next support at February’s gap and a Fibonacci retracement level in the $742-$752 area...if this support zone is taken out, a secondary Fibonacci level near
The $NDX is the first of the major indices to see a loss of momentum strong enough to generate a weekly MACD "sell" signal - past signals are denoted by arrows and support is highlighted on the chart

The massive move in $NVDA is generating its first counter-trend signal per Tom DeMark's TD Combo model on the weekly bar chart - it suggests the rally is overdone, but a measured move projects to ~$409 so we'd hold onto positions as long as today's low (i.e., the gap on the daily

All eyes are on $NVDA ahead of tomorrow's earnings report; today's MACD downturn shows a loss of short-term momentum...if a deeper pullback unfolds, we are watching the 50-day MA (in green) as initial support, and the breakout point as secondary support...as long as the 20-day MA
Counter-trend setups hold more risk, but natural gas is tempting, above its 10-week MA with a DeMARK "buy" signal (denoted by the "13" on the chart) holding implications for momentum to continue to improve near-term

$NVDA closed at a new all-time high yesterday, testing final resistance ahead of this afternoon's earnings report; if it can hold above ~$503 resistance for a few days, that'd be bullish, whereas if it falls back into its ~100-point range, we'd turn attention to initial support

Tough $SPX close for the week down 2.8%...what made today worse than average was the broad participation in the decline, not just NYSE down-to-up volume (9-to-1), but also commodities and the usual "safe havens" down in sync

Not too encouraged by oversold breadth readings noting significant deterioration in the cumulative NYSE A-D line...an analog to past bear market cycles (e.g., 2015-2016) suggests it could get back its 200-week MA
#fairleadstrategies
Average performance for the $SPX ( in red) and small-cap Russell 2000 (in green), normalized since 1993, shows the propensity for small caps to outperform early in the New Year, often because they are subject to undue tax-loss selling into year-end

The day after the 50-day MA crossed below the 200-day MA, the $SPX registered the first counter-trend "buy" signal from Tom DeMark's TD Sequential model during its corrective phase - a reason to be skeptical of the timeliness of the so-called "death cross"

$TSLA earnings are being well received - the chart makes a good case study in "rising wedges" which are more often continuation patterns (i.e., $TSLA should break down, continuing its downtrend) vs. reversal patterns - watch the pattern boundaries ~779/661

$AAPL is at a key proving ground near $170 - short-term oversold conditions are enhanced by a counter-trend signal from
@DeMarkAnalytics
, supporting stabilization, but long-term indicators suggest AAPL's wide range is distributive (i.e., a double-top)

All eyes on $AAPL earnings this week - the overbought downturn presents a challenge - key chart levels include the 200- and 50-day MAs (~159/143) and cloud resistance

Went with $NVDA for my final trade to leverage a short-term oversold bounce off its 50-day MA, but would be non-committal with possible seasonal weakness looming
