ETH: Why This Range Trade Still Favors the Bulls

While the S&P, Nasdaq, and Dow sold off following this week's FOMC rate decision, Ethereum held firm. That divergence is a signal. In this breakdown we walk through our two foundational tools, Previous Period High/Low/Mid/Close and PriceMap, to build and stress test a market thesis in real time. Price is holding above its monthly directional, the classic pivot that defines trend bias. With the R level sitting beneath the market, sentiment reads bullish. As long as the R level acts as a support floor rather than flipping to a resistance ceiling, the uptrend structure stays intact. The near term trigger is the previous week's low. Holding above it, even as broader risk assets sell off, signals underlying strength and keeps the bull case alive. Losing it doesn't kill the thesis, it just shifts the read toward the deeper monthly R level as the next area to reassess risk. Bottom line: this isn't about calling a breakout. It's about knowing exactly where the thesis breaks, and trading with that clarity instead of the noise.

SPX - Rate Hike To Bait Bears Before A Bounce?

SPX In HTF US indices look dicey and Dow Jones may be signalling a significant slump. But in LTF, S&P has been hanging around, sweeping these supports for a while but has not fallen into the space below. The interest rate decision will be released at 2 PM ET today. From a psychological perspective, this is an area where retail will be bearish because they can see a rate hike looming. Fear and Greed is also down at 29 - Fear. But the market tends to move against retail, at least in the short term. And so, I think it's more likely that we get a bounce in this area. Of course, there may be plenty of whipsaws through the area. Perhaps it may begin by printing a fast slump to bait bearish hike traders into entering shorts or exiting longs and sweep the lows. And then perhaps we get some sort of significant bounce that proves to be a dead cat into the next wave down. This is all just an educated guess - a throw at the dartboard. But I am doubting that we get a rate hike and then see the markets dump with impulse - as many traders will be expecting... Not advice

NVDA: 210.57 Vulnerable After Third Test

All year, 210.57 has been an inflection point — tested three times from above since August, and it's vulnerable here. S&P and Nasdaq are testing similar key structure right now. If we see acceptance below 210.57, 203.55 and potentially 196.58 come into play. Quick note on the lines — red and purple, solid vs. dashed, aren't random. Each carries different meaning. I'll get into it as we go.
