Nasdaq has been sideways since August 19. Ping ponging between a level of support and resistance. I have an area on the 5M that is showing good resistance. I have my Curve Supply and Demand areas marked. I have my LTF zones marked within the curve zones.

AMEX:GLD Daily Close — Sep 14 AMEX:GLD looks much weaker than AMEX:SPY and NASDAQ:QQQ right now. 395 broke, and I've flipped to a short bias against 400. The level went on a close — 392.84, after gapping down to 391.89 and failing the reclaim attempt at 395.90. 395.51 was support for a week. It's resistance now, and the retest already happened inside today's session. I'm going to be straight about one thing though, because it cuts against my own bias. Volume on this break was 7.28M against a 12.16M average — 60%, the lowest reading of the entire run. Look at the sequence: 9.8, 8.7, 8.0, 10.2, 10.7, then 7.3. Volume built into the level and then vanished on the break. Weak candle with low volume, and here's the part worth understanding: in VSA, a down bar on low volume is No Supply. The selling isn't there. Price fell because nobody was bidding, not because anyone was pressing. The close came in at 38% of the range, off the low — sellers didn't push into the bell either. I said last week that a break of 395 on light volume is a shakeout, not a trend change. I'm not going to un-say it now that the break went my way. And last week's weekly bar showed 123% volume on a narrow range right at this level — that's absorption. Heavy buying there, then a slip below on the lightest volume of the run. That's the shape of a stop flush. So the short is a structure trade, not a VSA-confirmed one. That's fine. It just means tight stops and I want to see real volume on any continuation before I size up. The plan: I'll short the rejection, not chase it here. The zone is 395.51 up into the MTF cloud (@ripster47 EMA cloud) at 399–401. Targets 385, 382, then 380. 400 is the pivot for the long side. Reclaim it on a close and this whole break was a shakeout and I'm out of the way. All of it conditional on FOMC. Hawkish confirms the short, dovish flips it. I'd rather react to the print than pre-position into it.
NASDAQ 100 is trading near 29,268 after bouncing from the 28,920 support area. The move is not just technical — three forces are pulling the market in different directions. First, AI sentiment is under pressure. Reuters reports that global AI-linked stocks fell after major AI leaders called for slowing development because of safety risks. This hit chip and AI infrastructure names, including Nvidia, AMD, SoftBank and ASML. For NASDAQ, this matters because AI optimism has been one of the main drivers behind tech valuations. Second, valuation pressure remains a risk. When bond yields stay elevated, expensive growth and semiconductor stocks become more vulnerable to profit-taking. Third, the chart is trying to stabilize. NASDAQ defended 28,920 and reclaimed EMA 9 and SMA 50, while RSI improved and MACD turned positive. However, the index still needs to break the 29,308–29,350 resistance zone to confirm a stronger recovery. Scenario: above 29,350, buyers may target 29,750. If price rejects from this zone, 29,150, 29,000 and 28,920 return to focus. Key idea: AI headlines are negative, but the chart has not broken down. NASDAQ is caught between weaker AI sentiment and a technical rebound from support. ⚠️ Not financial advice.

📈 NASDAQ has been trading inside a broad sideways structure, with price repeatedly reacting between the upper resistance and lower support zones. After the recent selloff, price has bounced from the lower boundary of the range and is now attempting to recover back into the structure. 🏆 Previously: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/NASDAQ/CyfSLr27-NASDAQ-The-Bulls-Are-Back-at-the-Decision-Point/ 📈 Bullish scenario The recent reaction from the lower zone shows buyers are still defending the bottom of the range. If price continues recovering and reclaims the upper resistance zone, the next higher zone could come back into focus. A clean breakout and hold above the upper structure would strengthen the bullish case and could trigger another expansion higher. Zone reclaim → breakout → bullish continuation. 📉 Bearish scenario The lower zone remains the key support area. If price fails to hold this zone and breaks decisively below it, the current range could lose its structure and open the way toward the next lower demand zones. Support failure → range breakdown → deeper retracement. 🎯 Outlook NASDAQ is sitting at an important range decision point after bouncing from the lower boundary. The next reaction should tell us whether buyers can reclaim the structure or whether this bounce is only a temporary recovery. Hold the zone → range structure remains intact. Reclaim the upper zone → bullish expansion becomes likely. Lose the lower zone → deeper downside opens up. Range recovery → resistance test → breakout watch.
In between two fires right now. What can we do but to let it play out, and then react. If I was to trade I would only focus on edges and nothing in between for now. The highes of high and lowest of low. Monday is still to early to understand the weekly direction, even by observing previous W candle we do need Monday and possible Tuesday to close on daily first.
