Happy Wednesday. Big reversals forming today from the overall NASDAQ market, showing signs of extreme overbought levels just before the Fed minutes report. FOMC meeting minutes release at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. This report, released three weeks after the Federal Reserve decision, provides insight into how the committee reached the most recent decision to pause interest rates. It helps investors and Wall Street assess if it's bullish or bearish, dovish or hawkish for upcoming rate decisions.
Markets on larger time frames (e.g., 4-hour) are oversold, testing 600 support range with recovery potential to previous highs of 630-640 per share. Intraday, markets are overbought. Even if going long and closing at 610, risk-to-reward doesn't make sense from 609-610—downside risk is much bigger than upside potential. Be careful with intraday trades; a break of support confirming reversal could sell off NASDAQ, bringing down everything including Bitcoin and MSTR (which follows Bitcoin closely). Short MSTR or go long MSTZ in that case.
Slow day with $200 green, following $9,000 day yesterday. In LPP live trading session, took advantage of shorting MSTR or longing MSTZ, but less aggressive today after big win to avoid overconfidence. Big moves like yesterday's MSTR sell-off don't happen every day. Took profits quickly, felt balanced. Still consolidating in 128-129 range. Respect that every day differs; market sentiment plays a big role even on the same stock.
Excited for news this week. FOMC minutes today could drive volatility—push higher or drop. US senators called for President Trump's removal under 25th Amendment, injecting government uncertainty and fear. Escalations with Iran: reports shift from withdrawal to Trump moving closer to major war, with posts claiming US attack setup within one week. Markets recover on agreement news but warships remain. Any attack would likely cause sell-off due to uncertainty.
Friday, February 20th: Supreme Court rules on Trump tariff legality. If illegal, must repay over $300 billion in tariff revenue already collected and used, per Trump—more fear. Likely postponement, but note the date. Share to inform for better decisions; doesn't discourage long positions on valued companies.
Microsoft down 28% on daily chart (one of Magnificent 7), oversold with 37% upside potential to previous highs. Quality company producing profits; good to discuss now if believing in recovery.
