[music] Hello everybody, welcome to trading the close. My name is Drew Dosek and guys today the story was really on two things. Micron earnings results obviously those came yesterday but then the PCE core PCE data that came in it was high but it wasn't a surprise to the upside and that's why the markets reacted the way they did they didn't sell that hard even though it was a high print it was within the range of expectations but what that did was basically solidify the Fed in hiking rates in the near future percentage points actually increase for the Fed to hike rates in in July. We certainly are almost guaranteed a hike in September. Uh but at at this current state, we'll be watching those numbers for July to see what the report comes in for labor at the beginning of next month. And then other data points as well. We'll make sure to keep you all attuned, but basically that was why the markets reacted the way they did. The micron earnings really kept everything elevated despite the first 30 minutes of selling in that stock. Let's get into some charts, folks. Starting off with the S&P 500. It ended up positive for the day up 0.14% but did put in another red candle because we opened up higher and closed lower within that candle. And to show you the intraday price action it was pretty violent. You can see right at the open we were up here and then the first three candles straight down then had a monstrous bounce and then basically just trickled off sideways for the remainder of the day. Now you can see after hours were already elevating back up. so hard to keep these markets down in the face of rate hikes. Um, and but you know, with tech still leading the way, it's really keeping everything elevated to the upside. Still remains the same for resistance. Notice how these three days on the S&P 500 have remained underneath this inclining trend line. One that I pointed out about a week, week and a half ago as basically the line in the sand between bullish price action and near-term bearish price action. So the level for that tomorrow is at $740.31 obviously to break the top of this parallel. And by the way, I did change the parallels to keep everything a little bit more transparent and easier to see. Keeping your eyes locked in on these major entryways and exits to these trend lines as well as parallels. Anyway, the level for support and to breach into that parallel is right here tomorrow at $72828. into the cues. [snorts] As you can see here, they also did put in a green day up 81% but a big reversal in early price action much like on the spiders. Look at that. We were gapping all the way up here above the price action from the previous couple days, but then we came down and formed bearish consolidation. The one thing that bucks this bearish uh angle is this big red or big green candle, excuse me, the one at 10:00. because in a bearish uh consolidation, you would prefer price to come down and really kind of chop sideways from that point, not really get a monstrous bounce and then chop sideways. So, this is kind of a a neutral candle. Not as much bearish uh I would describe there on the daily chart. Nonetheless, we didn't advance much, you know, but we are starting to put in wicks down here showing again that tech can still stay elevated despite any sort of higher rates. But guys, higher rates is not really good for growth companies. So, this is peculiar. We'll see how this sorts out in the coming days and weeks. Uh, as you see here though, near-term support right here at 703 and 9. Upside resistance is actually going to be this uh gap fill up here around $737. Uh, next up into the SMH. And guys, I remind you too, I follow the SMH as a leading indicator. I highly recommend everybody else do that too, particularly during this AI data center buildout. Everything has been piling in as far as monies, new investments, circular rotation from Nvidia, investing in this company and that company. It's all really tied to the momentum going on in the SMH. So, let's take a look at that SMH. And you notice today we did close again. Now, three days in a row underneath this inclining uh trend line. However, yesterday as we highlighted, we did not close underneath the candle that broke the trend line. That's the candle that matters the most. So if you want to see this SMH take a little bit of a breather, which by the way is healthy for markets. It's healthy for them to have big pushups and drawbacks. So it has a chance to build momentum to continue moving higher. Otherwise, it's just a a rocket a roller coaster pushing up on the charts getting overextended like what we saw here. But you can see the divergence that's taking place that also is highlighting something's not right with this current price action continuing to push up. It's like it's looking like it's trying to come down on the charts. Yet, we find ourselves again tacking the top of this inclining trend line today. It was most evident the sharp selling pressure on the SMH. Opened up here today, sold off equally with these three candles, but more of a big big plunge on the SMH. And then look at that bounce. The bounce was even higher than the Q's and also maintaining a close right here in this consolidation range elevating up ever so slightly after hours. So the SMH we already know this it's resilient but then now that does put in three consecutive days closing underneath. The thing to watch in the future guys is the low on this June 23rd candle at $61727. If we get a daily close under that while price is still under this inclining trend line then we will have more downside probabilities will increase. However, if we get a close back up above this trend line then all of that resets and we need to see when the next trend line breaks. So be paying close attention to price action tomorrow if it does close above $648.91. Next up the 10ear yield guys. tenure yield did actually come down with that PCE number today. Mainly, I touched on it at the beginning of the show. It wasn't a surprise to the upside. It was within expectations which helped pull down the 10-year yield as you see here, breaking that consolidation. We were about to break above this high pivot and then that all of a sudden changed both Wednesday and today with current price on the 10-year yield coming down. Next support at 4307%. Little whiplash action. no confirmation above this pivot high I must add. So that is a key determining factor for either a fake breakout and then consequently a big reversal in the opposite direction. Uh next up gold and silver actually put in positive days today catching a little bit of a bounce right here from yesterday's low at 3959. Uh if we do continue up near-term minor resistance since we didn't confirm underneath with this break yet, minor resistance at $4,122. Major resistance on this declining trend line at $4,295. Now, also major support down here at $3,886 in case we do start chopping sideways, which will then eventually lead to a little bit more downside on the charts. Next up, silver. Also, like gold, as I said, had a positive day today, up about 1%. It did not kiss it did not, pardon me, it did not touch this $559 support level. Instead, caught a bounce at $5562. We'll be watching very closely in the next couple days how high this bounce takes us on the chart of silver. Yes, with the 10-year yields coming down, helped both the metals, silver and gold, continue higher on the charts. I want to see though how long this chops sideways, mainly closing underneath this dotted line, which is the 50% area of the parallel channel. If we do get above it, we will have some decent resistance here at $6152. That will be a big accomplishment for silver. If it can get back through that area, particularly without even touching this level of support at 5509. Still have not yet bought my physical silver. I was waiting for at least a tag of that 5509 getting in between that range and the $49.96 support level. Next up, US oil. As I've said the last few days, guys, US oil has been due for a bounce. Uh we've had sharp moves down and then also the daily RSI has breached the 30 threshold down at the bottom of the chart. I was really anticipating a better bounce at this level at 7556, but we see with that selling pressure, it was very minimal. and then we came straight down to this next level of support. Well, guys, this line has been on my chart um literally for months. Uh this that's amazing how technical analysis works. We go through how to draw all these trend lines and all of our educational videos, which brings me to another point, guys. This uh starting this weekend, we will have all of our educational videos on sale, 40% off. Do yourself a favor. Invest in yourself. Learn how to draw trend lines. Learn pattern setups. Learn trade setups like through mastering the overnight trade, the sleeper hold. Learn about if you want to learn the very beginning upwards of into intermediate traders. I created a course comprehensive for that called the trader core. We've got a boatload of information all for you to take advantage of and make yourself a better trader. So guys, till July 12th, 40% off. do yourself a favor, take a look at some of those courses and make yourself a better trader. All right, so back into US oil. This is exactly where the bounce is occurring. Next resistance up at $7556. All right, now if this level, if we do start chopping sideways, create bearish consolidation. The next supports all the way down here at $62.33. I'm not anticipating that getting hit anytime soon. Matter of fact, there was actually even news of an attack on a ship in the Straighter Hormuz today. So, I I anticipate this all to be somewhat fragile with this peace agreement until we uh get past this time frame, maybe at least a few months down the road. All right, next up into NAC gas. Really didn't do too much today. Chopped sideways up.9% tested the bottom of this inclining trend line. Did not get all the way up to the parallel channel entry, but still just remaining underneath this inclining trend line. We'll see if we get any sort of confirming uh push down uh tomorrow. But this level is significant resistance near-term for NAC gas at $3.36. Uh next up into Bitcoin, guys. Now, start here on the daily time frame. Bitcoin so far today is doing a good job not having a daily close underneath this low here on Friday, June 5th. If we get a close later today underneath this candle, that will increase probabilities for more downside to come. Next support 53,000 followed by our head and shoulders target which we have talked about at length here at 37,508. If I flip on the RSI, look what's going on down here at the bottom of the screen, folks. We got all the way down here about 15 on the RSI when we sold here at the beginning of June. Now we bounced up and finded price at the same location. However, RSI is right on top of the 30. That's divergence. That's telling you Bitcoin is trying to put in at least a near-term bottom. So, be mindful of this and watch for resistance right up here on this inclining trend line. $63,449. That will be minor resistance right here. Uh since we have had two days under though, it still should be a test for Bitcoin to get back up above that trend line. So, near-term gone over both the support and resistance. Plus, it's leaning for, at least I say, a little bit of a bounce unless we get a close underneath this uh June 5th candle. Next up, I've got a viewer request uh from Louis 24 wanting to see some charting analysis on XLM. I'm starting here on the weekly time frame and let me pause first. Thank you guys for all the comments. It really means an awful lot to me. I know we put in a ton of work here to give you guys a lot of good TA and so thank you for the comments, the interactions. It really means a lot. I I try to improve my show based on those comments. Plus, I try to feed you guys some charts that you like as well. So, uh this win-win for everybody, right? So, let's get into this chart on XLM. Now, XLM, this is like the cousin of XRP. This deals with more uh third world countries that don't have banking uh institutions readily available for their citizens. So, if you see this here, we've had an inverse head and shoulders pattern that played out earlier. It was basically last year in July. And since then, look at how price has come down, caught support on that neckline, breached it, then got back above and bounced right back up. So near-term, this was a great back uh or great bounceback above this trend line. Now we get into the daily chart, and now you see the story changes a little bit. All right, we put in a daily topping tail here on May 30th. That was the signal that this was a big move up and likely to be met with selling pressure, at least for the near to midterm. Unfortunately, it has broken this declining trend line twice. You can see the momentum tried to propel it back up, but it failed. And since we have confirmed back underneath that declining trend line. So, for upward momentum, you got to beat this line. Beat this 19.5 line that will help you regain the momentum and potentially overtake this uh daily topping tail. We are right into support right here at 17.3 cents, but we're not oversold on the daily. We should be due for a potential bounce in this area. Look at all of the pivots. If you look back here on my screen, that's a lot of different levels of support right here in this range. So, that tells me a couple things. If this level does not hold, man, XLM is weak and Bitcoin's likely going to drag the rest of the crypto space, altcoins, all down to that head and shoulders measured move target. But, as I've said, Bitcoin's looking like it's trying to bounce. So, be anticipating potential support here with a resistance at 19.5. If this breaks and head and shoulders pattern plays out for Bitcoin, we could be seeing XLM down here sub4 cents at 13.95 cents. Uh next up into Qualcomm. Now Qualcomm had great news today. They came out and uh the stock reacted to it and pushed up much higher. You could see this. This was a great move up, yet it only finished 3.79% up on the day. Decent selling pressure after that gap up on the charts. Here's on the 10-minute chart. You can see it very cleanly all the way up here along with the rest of the tech play and then big selloff but we didn't bounce straight up as fast as we did on say SNDK or MU or WDC or any of these uh high-flying memory stocks. Qualcomm instead started selling off towards the end of the day even getting close to the lows before on the last 10-minute candle putting in a nice big wick. So on the daily chart, what does that do for Qualcomm? Well, there's a couple things going right here with this current chart. We've uh tested the top range of this parallel channel, even breached it, and have since gotten rejected. So, near-term upside resistance is going to be found on this declining trend line, roughly about $227 on the chart. However, at the same time, notice with these rejections of the parallel, it's starting to form a head and shoulders pattern with the left shoulder there, the head, and the right shoulder. Now, this uh trend line you see drawn horizontally across your screen is the neckline of that head and shoulders pattern. We have not breached it. We have not triggered it. But man, if we do, that will pull Qualcomm out of this parallel channel down to $121.37. That would be a pretty significant drop considering what type of run Qualcomm has just had. So, I'm doubtful that we will have this head and shoulders break and this major move target be hit unless the entire markets are in some sort of uh downward spiral. But, nonetheless, it's there on the charts. And so I've got to pay attention to it and be mindful that Qualcomm could be seeing further downside if we do breach this $1912 level. Be watching that tomorrow, especially with today's big selloff after the gap up that we experienced. Uh next up we've got Blackberry, guys. Look at this move on BlackBerry. Now they do report earnings today. Um but man, today they jumped the gun. Pushed up about 20% on the day. Notice how price action made a pinnacle over here in June 3rd and fourth and then retreated back on the chart. Now, let me zoom back out to give you some longer term analysis and what exactly this did on the weekly time frame. You can see it right there. It generated a weekly topping tail. Now, we went over weekly topping tail the other week with the SMH and how it negated it within two weeks. Now, Blackberry's trying to say, "Watch this. I'll negate mine in about three weeks." So, we're on watch for tomorrow. If Blackberry can close above $10.93, that is going to be very positive for BlackBerry near term, negating a weekly topping tail in just a matter of three weeks. But I remind you guys, look at the RSI whenever you're wanting to jump into a stock. It's overbought near-term. We can clearly see that. Now, Blackberry pivoted going from phone production into uh cyber security. Thus, you see a big jump in their stock as you as as what's on display. But when we're overbought like this, just look what happened last time we were overbought. We had a steep decline from $6.29 all the way under $3. You're talking about a 50% decline. Now, I don't think that's going to happen here for BlackBerry. But if Blackberry does not negate this topping tail, be mindful of the top of this parallel channel as price could retreat back down to $7.26. 26 before then attacking $1121 followed by $12.39. And you can see BlackBerry has certainly fallen from grace and can move up on the charts once it gets its footing together, but right now and near-term it seems a little bit overbought for my liking to jump in. I'd rather wait for some sort of pullback and then it's particularly on the top of the parallel. That would be the most ideal for a returning bounce there on that chart. And then lastly, guys, into GLW making a brand new all-time high today, pushing up 10.78%. Got very close. You see yesterday, we did get up to $2179, but then had some decent selling to close down here in the 206 range. And then we just continued the momentum rallying right back up on GLW, but it put on the breaks right here on this inclining uh parallel channel right at the top today. Now you see I've got another trend line that's connected from the high in February 25th and connected over to the high in May 13th. This is what I generally do when we have breaches of the top of parallel channels. It almost gives me a a resistance zone in which GLW will likely have resistance again. And tomorrow that level is at $23925. But first things first, got to get above the top end of this parallel channel, $22959. And then we could be looking at that topend resistance. But great move on GLW considering look at that weekly time frame on this chart. It's been down in the gutter under 40 and under 50 bucks for the majority of its lifetime. And then all of a sudden somebody gave it the defiill and then bang there we go up on the charts. Incredible move. Looking like it is about to negate another weekly topping tail. Much like the Blackberry chart, tech is on fire, guys. um looking like it was going to take a delay just the other day before Micron earnings, but we just did not get that PCE data. Core PCE came in hot, but not over um and not surprised uh with the figure. So, everything's still in line. We're going to watch tomorrow pretty closely and I'll give you a good recap on that next week on Monday. Guys, thank you so much for being here with me. Don't forget to like and subscribe. Also, send this out to your friends and family so they can learn technical analysis on the charts. Thank you again for watching. I'll see you next time right here on the charts, folks. Take care.
