SA November 2: It looks like we are gearing up for a brief period of relief in $QQQ and $SPY. On the 12-hour chart, a span of three to eight bars translates to roughly one and a half to four days of potential upward correction. However, traders should stay alert as we move through this window; the upcoming Midterms could very well act as the catalyst that sparks the next leg down. Once this short-term upward correction runs its course, the probability of breaking toward new lows remains exceptionally high.
From a technical and cyclical standpoint, price action currently places us in the second half of the fourth daily cycle, which also brings us right near the conclusion of the weekly cycle. As is typical in market mechanics, the termination point of any cycle tends to be its most volatile phase, with higher-degree cycles breeding even sharper swings.

SA October 26: The fresh 6-hour cycle in $QQQ and $SPY is starting on remarkably weak footing. In a market environment like this, upside breakouts typically lack the momentum needed for meaningful follow-through, often turning into bull traps or quick reversals.
Currently, the cycle's bottom rests directly inside the key support zone established back in early June. How price action behaves here will be critical. If the initial leg of this new 6-hour cycle fails to produce a strong upward bounce and instead merely consolidates sideways, forming a classic correction in time, it signals severe underlying market weakness. A failure to rally off established support points to a lack of buyer demand, setting the stage for a breach of the June support zone and significantly lower prices ahead.
For execution and risk planning, avoid chasing upside breakouts until the market demonstrates sustained momentum and volume, as failure rates remain elevated. Monitor whether support holds through active buying or if the market simply burns time at these levels without moving higher. If time elapses without a recovery, gear up for short opportunities or protective positioning as support gives way.
Stay disciplined with your risk, and happy trading! #NASDAQ #NASDAQ100 $QQQ $SPY @RichardMoglen @BobLoukas $MU $SNDK $TSLA #Cycle $SPCX #Stocks #StocksToWatch #StocksInFocus

🌡️ Prediction markets now project tomorrow's temperature better than the official weather forecast.
Average error on next-day high temperature:
Kalshi prediction market: 2.44°F (1.36°C)
US National Weather Service blend: 2.70°F (1.50°C)
That's about 10% more accurate.

SA October 21: The technical analysis from recent days for $QQQ and $SPY remains fully intact. Today brought confirmation as the 2-hour Mid Cycle Low (MCL) formed, signaling that the market is now due for its first 4-hour bottom. On a structural level, the 4-hour cycle has displayed a right translation—traditionally a encouraging bullish setup—yet the current price action demands caution. The heavy overlap in candles paints a conflicting picture, introducing a distinctly bearish undertone to the move.
Looking at the broader timeline, we remain firmly within the expected 3- to 8-day recovery window. As this rally unfolds, it appears increasingly likely that it will mark the peak of the current fourth daily cycle. Once this temporary relief phase exhausts itself, the overall structure points toward a break below the recent swing low to the downside. As always, market dynamics will confirm the path ahead in due course. Happy trading. $SPCX $SNDK $SMCI

SA October 22: Yesterday’s setup in $QQQ and $SPY played out right on cue, and today’s action confirms it. The current 4-hour bar strongly resembles a local bottom, signaling that a short-term bounce is underway.
Looking ahead at the bigger picture, the daily cycle is at a critical juncture. The most likely scenario is that the daily cycle top is already in place. Alternatively, this bounce could carry price slightly higher to print the official top before rolling over. While a third path exists—a much higher, extended rally—the probability for that remains very low.
On the daily chart, the roadmaps are clear:
* The Red Trajectory: Represents the most immediate, aggressive bearish outcome.
* The Blue Trajectory: Outlines a slightly slower bearish path that plays out over a longer timeframe.
As always, patience is key. We take it one bar at a time. Happy trading! #NASDAQ #NASDAQ100 $QQQ $SPY @RichardMoglen @BobLoukas $MU $SNDK $TSLA #Cycle $SPCX

October 20: If my analysis is correct, the third daily bottom of $QQQ and $SPY and the first two-hour higher low are officially in.
Looking at the price action, the overlapping bars strongly suggest we are in a corrective phase. Furthermore, the left-translated nature of the first two-hour cycle adds another non-bullish signal to the picture. I am still anticipating a correction lasting anywhere from three to eight bars, which translates to roughly three to eight trading days.
Because the beginning of any cycle is typically its most powerful phase—and higher-degree cycles usually drive the largest moves—it is worth noting that the first bar of this daily cycle lacks substantial strength, adding yet another sign of underlying weakness.
Even so, as Linda Raschke wisely puts it, we take it "one bar at a time." Happy trading! #NASDAQ #NASDAQ100 $QQQ $SPY @RichardMoglen @BobLoukas $MU $SNDK $TSLA #Cycle $SPCX

SA October 18: B/O will likely work for a few days in $QQQ and $SPY . While the current daily bounce (B/O) appears poised to play out over the next few days with the third daily bottom of this weekly cycle likely in place, the broader market structure remains decidedly fragile. The 3-hour cycle that was absent during the first 12-hour cycle represents the extended portion of the daily cycle. Crucially, except for the daily cycle itself, all surrounding timeframes display left translation, while the magnitude of the recent pullback exceeds what can be reasonably classified as a routine correction.
With two daily cycles remaining to complete the broader weekly cycle, caution is warranted. The terminal phase of any cycle typically carries the most aggressive selling pressure; given the severity of the recent downturn, the market may form two consecutive left-translated daily cycles to conclude the weekly cycle. Left-translated cycles characteristically print their high early in the sequence, usually within the first 3 to 8 bars. For the index, this structural setup implies an initial upward window lasting between 3 and 8 days. Ultimately, near-term price action will dictate whether this move retains bullish traction or reverts to bearish continuation, signaled primarily by whether the advancing bars display full, solid bodies or overlapping, corrective range trade.

In 2010, Polish workers cleaned the houses of British professionals. Today, Poland's GDP per capita sits above $43,000 in purchasing power parity terms, level with Spain and closing fast on France. That reversal took roughly one generation. This was deliberate policy, not luck.
Poland ran a flat tax on business income, kept labor markets comparatively flexible, and spent the 1990s dismantling the Soviet pricing apparatus faster than almost any neighbor. Capital read those signals immediately. Volkswagen, Samsung, and hundreds of smaller manufacturers moved production east. Warsaw became a financial hub, not a branch office.
The EU structural funds helped, obviously, pouring +-160 billion euros into Polish infrastructure between 2004 and 2020. Funds alone don't explain the difference. Ukraine received aid too. Poland built what mattered around the money: enforceable contracts, a functioning court system, and a bureaucracy that didn't simply steal the paperwork.
Respect property, enforce contracts, keep inflation credible, and capital flows toward you. Poland did roughly that for thirty years while Germany and France were busy building regulations that made hiring someone feel like adopting them legally.
The housekeepers became engineers, then managers, then founders. Warsaw startup valuations crossed 50 billion euros in aggregate by 2024. Polish engineers now earn salaries that make relocating to London feel irrational rather than mandatory.
Wealth is produced where producers are left alone to produce it. Poland left them alone just enough.
Another 10 years of this and people from the UK will be cleaning the houses of professionals in Poland.

My post about France went viral. Thousands of likes. Many Americans told me: "Democrats aren't socialists. America will never be France." I want to answer that seriously, step by step.
Start with a simple observation. Look at what has gotten cheaper in America over the last 25 years: TVs, phones, software, clothes, toys. Now look at what has exploded: college tuition, healthcare, childcare, housing.
What separates the two lists? The first lives in competitive markets. The second is exactly where government is most involved: subsidies, mandates, licensing, zoning, regulation.
College. Washington lends students almost unlimited money. Universities know the money will always come, so they raise tuition and hire more administrators. The student pays the bill for twenty years. More government money, higher prices.
Housing. Why can't a nurse buy a home in the city where she works? Not because of capitalism. Because of zoning laws, permits, environmental reviews, years of procedure to build a single building. The most expensive places to live in America are the places where it's hardest to build. When building is nearly illegal, prices explode.
Healthcare. The patient almost never sees the price. A third party pays, regulations limit who can compete, and costs climb year after year with no one able to say no.
So here is the trap. The problems you suffer from are not the failure of free markets. They are the places where the market has already been replaced by the state. And the solution you're being offered is more of the same.
That's the Trojan horse. It always works the same way. A real problem. A generous-sounding promise. A program that makes things worse. Then the failure of that program becomes the argument for the next one. People who lived under communism in Poland learned to recognize the lie and the mask the lie wears. The lie never presents itself as a lie. It presents itself as compassion.
In France we are at the end of that road. Debt we can never repay. Young people who can't afford a home. Our best people leaving. And every few years our cities burn. Nobody voted for this. They voted for one more generous promise, fifty years in a row.
If you're a Republican, share this with the Democrat in your life. Not to win an argument. To start a conversation.
If you're a Democrat, I'm not asking you to switch teams. I'm asking you to look at the pattern. Wherever the state took over, life became unaffordable. Don't fix the failures of government with more government.
Stay American. Ask for less state, not more.
I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you.
I come from your future.
In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream.
Here’s what it looks like from the inside. France hasn’t passed a balanced budget since 1974. Our debt is above 3,300 billion euros. Interest on that debt is becoming one of the biggest items in the national budget. Our hospitals are collapsing despite record funding. Our schools rank lower every year. Young people with degrees can’t afford an apartment in the city they were born in. Our best engineers leave for London, Zurich and San Francisco. And the rich you wanted to tax? They left too, and took the jobs with them.
The promise was protection. The result is stagnation.
The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe.
I love America because it’s the one place on earth where people still believe they can build something from nothing. I came to Silicon Valley as a self-taught kid and it changed my life. That spirit is the most precious thing your country has.
Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France?
Trust me. You don’t want to be France.

SA October 13: We appear to be approaching the bottom in the $QQQ and $SPY index as futures hit their divergence target, pointing to a potential time-based turning point. Although official confirmation is still pending, the main point of caution remains the missed three-hour cycle during the initial leg of this daily cycle. That missing component might resolve itself immediately following this dip. Overall, the probability leans toward a higher close today, though there are no guarantees. Navigating this setup requires taking it one bar at a time. Happy trading! #NASDAQ #NASDAQ100 $QQQ $SPY @RichardMoglen @BobLoukas $MU $SNDK $TSLA #Cycle $SPCX

Did anyone notice what went on after this post in $QQQ ?
SA October 9: The overnight $QQQ and $SPY session presents a divergence between underlying breadth and chart structure. Yesterday's breadth closed net negative, with 4% decliners outpacing 4% advancers. Yet, the overnight session printed remarkably clean, orderly bars on the 2- and 4 hour timeframes, which runs counter to normal bearish distributions and suggests steady institutional defense at key levels.
From a cyclical standpoint, standard rhythm still points to the need for one more 2 hour cycle to cleanly flush the current daily cycle. However, markets rarely offer textbook completions when momentum shifts. If price action clears the high of the current 4 hour cycle — marked by the blue horizontal line — yesterday's low must be respected as the daily cycle low, arriving slightly ahead of schedule.
While an early pivot is entirely possible, the preferred structural path remains a final lower low to wash out remaining weak hands. That sequence would provide the optimal technical compression and could be springboard for a decisive breakout toward new all-time highs. Happy trading and have a great weekend. #NASDAQ #NASDAQ100 $QQQ $SPY @RichardMoglen @BobLoukas $MU $SNDK $TSLA #Cycle $SPCX
