 What is going on everybody, Astos here. Welcome back to another video. So in this video we're going to be doing an overall market update looking at the Dow Jones, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq. And we're also going to be talking about one trade that I made today as well as some other stocks and ETFs that I'm watching right now. And we're going to be doing some technical breakdowns in this video to try and plan out our trades heading into 2019 so we can start off the year on a positive solid note. But before we do get into this video, I want to wish you all a very happy New Year's Eve, a safe New Year's Eve and whatever you guys are doing out there. I hope you all had a fantastic 2018. I hope you all crushed your goals out there. I wish nothing but health and prosperity and continuous growth for everybody that watches these videos and supports me. I truly, truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. And I wish you all a happy New Year. If you are watching this video in 2019, I hope you all set even higher goals, higher limits than 2018. And I hope you all surpass those and just continue to become the best version of yourself, whether that be in trading, saving money, being an employee, running your own business, a family member, be the best person that you can be in 2019. Always help others and always just do the best you can possibly do in every single situation that you're in. That is what I wish for everybody out there, including myself heading into 2019. And let's get into this topic of today's video starting off with the Dow Jones industrial average. So today, guys, we saw another green day marking, I believe, the fourth green day that we've seen in a row. So this is something that we haven't really been seeing because the market has been getting crushed since the beginning of October. So a couple of green days in a row is kind of out of the ordinary for what we've been seeing lately. Since the beginning of December, we've been getting crushed. There's been a bunch of panic selling in the overall markets and we literally didn't have, I don't think we had two green days in a row in the month of December until this past, you know, a couple of days starting out, I believe, on the, what was it, like the 26th, I believe we started to have these green days. And since there, you know, we've had four green days in a row. So in terms of the overall supports that we see on the Dow Jones guys, I talked about this in yesterday's video and pretty much every single video since, you know, December's crash, the deep crash that we've seen in December, you know, this stock or not the stock, this index held above the 21,700 support. And this is actually where we had the four or five green days in a row that we've been experiencing, right? We bounced on this support. We broke above the next support, which was a resistance because it was broken beneath of. And now we're looking to test the resistance from this past correction in March and February of 2018, right? We've seen a very similar scenario that we are in right now a couple of months back in the beginning of 2018. Well, really about a year back at this point, right? We saw 27K in about, you know, January 2018, we crashed, not really crashed, we corrected all the way down to about $23,400 right where we are right now. So the fact that this was a previous support makes it a new resistance now as we are trying to peak above it. So let's take a look at the movement on some closer time frame charts here for the Dow Jones. So like I said, guys, we were up about 1.15% today, up $265. And the trend that we are seeing here right now, it's not really pushing up to a higher high quite yet. It's kind of flattening out and consolidating at, you know, right under that resistance that is right at about $23,400, the one that we just talked about. So, you know, what I want to see for the Dow Jones guys, you know, especially to continue these higher high patterns that we've been seeing over these past couple of days, is obviously I want to see a break above this resistance from this past March of 2018. And then ultimately a break back into the $24,000 price range, right? And this is something that I see achievable, especially since Trump, right? Trump has been tweeting and talking around that him and China, the president of China are coming closer to a trade deal. He's kind of pumping some positive news right now into the market, which is why, you know, in my personal opinion, why we've been seeing some positivity and push in the overall markets over the past couple of days. So, the fact that we are consolidating right here, guys, is not necessarily a bad thing. This could be a, you know, a level out zone before we push up to that next high or high. And you know, only time will tell and we'll have to look at the futures, pre-market futures, and large cap movements on, you know, on Wednesday, because obviously the market is closed tomorrow on New Year's before we make a decision on what we're going to be trading. But, you know, as of now, we're flattening out and, you know, we either we could really go either away at this point, right? We can either make the high or high or break the trend and, you know, break down below this 50 SMA, which is obviously going to be bad news. And that could indicate that we're pushing down, you know, in the direction of another lower low for the Dow Jones. So, very critical resistance right here, guys. Mark this on your charts. It's at about $23,500 to $400 right around that price point, you know, for the Dow Jones. So, let's take a look at the S&P 500 very quickly. You know, very similar situation, right? The S&P was up 21 points today, up 0.85 percent. But we kind of had a flat, you know, a flat, flattening, I can't even say the word, guys, flattening day today, flattening out day today in the S&P 500, right? We didn't push up for that high or high, but we kind of maintained the same level that we were at, you know, for the most part of yesterday. So, what do I want to see, guys, is, you know, ideally I would like to see, I have the channel drawing tool right now. Let me just quickly change that. But ideally what I would want to see for the continuation of the up trend, right, would be for it to hold this support that I just drew out for you guys and push up to try and test this 180SMA, right? That would mean it's making a higher high and it's continuing that uptrending pattern that we like to see. And at that point, it would already have made a lower, you know, a higher low here because the previous low was at around $2,400 and this low right here, if this is the next low, if we do push up, that's going to be right around $2,480, which is about 80 points higher than this previous low. And that's obviously an indication, you know, of a reversal uptrending pattern. So, keep an eye on this support, guys. If we break below it, obviously that's a, you know, reversal pattern to the downside. If we break above it, right, if we rather we hold above it and we start to test this 180SMA, that's obviously a continuation of the pattern that we've been seeing over the past couple of days, which is, you know, a textbook reversal pattern, you know, in the SMP, in the, in the, I was about to say the DASDAQ, the Dow Jones, oh my God, guys, my mind's like scrambled right now. I literally said DASDAQ, almost said that. But, you know, that's what we're looking at. And the fact that we held this 20 year one month trend line right here is a very good sign. And on the three year one week chart, we did bounce on the 180SMA support here. And we are seeing some green candlesticks starting to form, you know, and they're pushing up in price, which is a good sign that the SMP could have found a bottoming out point. Am I calling this a bottom? Absolutely not, right? I'm not one of these guys that's going to be like, yes, that's the bottom because that's not what I promote on this channel. Anybody that says that they know the bottom or they claim that that's the bottom, they're just flat out lying to you because no one truly knows what the bottom is. All I'm going to tell you, all, you know, I talk about on this channel is what I see from previous data. And, you know, what I personally think is happening, you know, over the next couple of days over the next couple of weeks from the, you know, from the trends and from the analysis that we can take, you know, from these videos, right? That's what I personally do. I'm not going to be telling you that, yes, this is the bottom. I don't preach that kind of stuff on this channel. And I know you guys know this for all you, you know, people that have been following me for a while now for your new viewers out there, just letting you guys know, you know, I'm not one of those guys that's going to be like, yes, this is the bottom. Nope, that's not me. You know, I'm sure there's other people out there that do do that. You know, that's a very, you know, risky game to be in because, you know, you would be wrong about 95% of the time, right? So, you know, NASDAQ today, for looking at the NASDAQ, we are pushing up with some green candlesticks on this three year one week chart, judging on the one year one day chart, you know, we obviously broke those, you know, longer term supports back in March and February of 2018. We held the $6,000 support from about a year and a half ago. I think this was back in August, I believe we can see it right here, $6,000. It was about September actually of 2017. And we held that we popped up above this previous support, which was a new resistance. We pushed that above that one. And now we're testing this one from again, back in April, you know, late March, April of, you know, 2018. This was the support, which is obviously a new resistance. And that's where we are right now, you know, for the NASDAQ. So draw this out on your chart, guys. Definitely keep an eye on this level that we are at right now. Very, very important level, you know, for the NASDAQ. So taking a look at the closer term chart here, very similar, right? This one's making higher highs, higher lows. It's consolidating, right? It's been flat over the past couple of days, kind of fighting to get above. Well, really over the past two days, it's been fighting to get above that, you know, that resistance that I just talked to you guys about at about $6,300, but it's still maintaining the SMA, the 50 SMA right now, which really just indicates that it's holding the trend. It's not a break of trend quite yet. But what we want to see here, guys, very similar to the Dow and the S&P, is we want to see a push. We want to see that higher high form. And we just want to see a continuation to the upside if it wants to continue to uptrend. And then obviously, if it's breaking below the SMAs, that is a reversal pattern to the downside. And we do not want to see that, you know, if we want to see, you know, if we want to see the uptrend, we want to see the market reverse. Obviously, we do not want to see it going down in price if we want to see it go to the upside, right? So, you know, to continue this pattern, obviously, we're going to have to continue to push up, make higher highs, you know, higher lows. And, you know, we got to keep breaking up above those resistances that we broke below, you know, that are now new resistances, right? So that's what we're looking at in terms of the major markets. And now let's talk about what I traded today very quickly and break down some other stocks and ETFs and really just see, you know, what happened today in these watchlists that I have here on my Thinkorswim platform. So today I traded DWT earlier on in the day when it had that little push up into about the $17 range, I believe. And we can see a little bit closer here. And for those of you guys that don't know, DWT is an oil-based ETF. It moves, you know, very, it correlates very closely to crude oil slash CL. And pretty much whenever crude oil is going down in price, you know, DWT is going up in price. And, you know, whenever crude oil is going up in price, the inverse to DWT, which is UWT is going up in price. So if we see, you know, the chart on crude oil, this is the one day one minute chart, we noticed that at this time, this was at about 8am today, Eastern Standard Time, we noticed that crude oil, you know, kind of found a peak here, a double top formation at about $46.50. And then it started to down trend in price, you know, heading into the market open at around 9.30, right? It started to down trend at about 8 o'clock, and it lasted all the way down to about 10.45am. So, you know, three hours, almost three hours, you know, of down trending pattern, you know, for crude oil, which obviously, you know, started to push DWT up in the pre-market hours. And this trade right here, guys, is another classic gap fill trade that I, you know, use all the time, right? This is one of the strategies that I use all the time. And it's simply, you know, finding stocks that have gap down pre-market hours, like this one, right, from the close yesterday at about 16.60, a gap down all the way to $15.00. And then see if those stocks or ETFs are pushing up in pre-market hours and trying to fill that gap to potentially hop in and profit on that gap fill, right? This is one of the strategies that I use all the time, and this played out perfectly. So, take a look at this, guys. So, you know, from 15.20, we sold off, you know, obviously, from 16.75, roughly, all the way to 15.20, that opened up 8%. So, right then in there, the margin of profit opened up. And then when we saw crude oil start to sell off pretty aggressively, we started to push up very nicely and slowly started to fill the gap, you know, on DWT. And then we saw some strong consolidation heading into the market, market open on top of this 50 SMA. And then we started to dart up pretty quickly. You know, and this is told me right here, guys, the fact that we bounced on this, you know, support, and then we started to push up and then we broke this pre-market high. That told me that, you know, DWT is pushing up, it's uptrending in price, and it's looking to fill that gap even more. So, this is exactly when I ended up hopping in initially, guys. I took a position, I believe, at about 16.10 initially. We pulled up here 16.30. I was up a very small amount at this point, ended up pulling back. And as we bounced here, slowly start to bounce up, and we broke that resistance here at 16.30, which was the previous high. That's when I added more money right around here at about 16.40, I believe. So, 16.10, roughly initial position, 16.40 second position. So, I was in at about 16.25 average cost, I believe, or around 16.27 to be exact with you guys. And I ended up making about 3.2 percent on this trade. And you can see exactly what I'm talking about here. I pretty much ended up selling off once we peaked above the resistance from yesterday, right? This is a classic gap-filled play right here. I got in, and then I pretty much just sold off once we filled that entire gap just to take the profit, because I was already up 3%. I was already at my daily goal, and I didn't want to risk anything else, you know, heading into the day off tomorrow, heading into the new year. So, today's play, guys, was a classic, classic gap-fill. It played out to perfection. And let me know what you ended up trading today, guys. Did you play DWT at all? You know, did you play any gap-fills today? I would love to know. Drop a comment down below, and let's take a look at some other tickers that did very well today. So, some stocks that I think are looking very interesting right now. Let's talk about some weed stocks first, starting off with Kron, ticker symbol, C-R-O-N. So, Kron is looking pretty good here on the 180 chart. We noticed that the big pullback from $14 all the way down to $10, that opened up a ton of margin of around 30, roughly like 31%. And now we've been consolidating very strongly on top of this 180SMA, and now we're testing the resistance of the 50SMA here on the 180 chart. So, I'm actually going to set on an alert for Kron to see if it can get back up into the $11 range, because at that price, guys, I think it's very interesting play. And I think it could end up running at that point, right, from about $11 to $14. We've seen this happen many, many times before. And, you know, we could just see it right here, guys. It ran literally from 5 up to, you know, $14 pulled back from 8 back up to $14, pulled back from $9.75 back to $15. You know, we've seen all these spike ups, and this one could be, you know, tuning up right now to, you know, have another 30%, 20%, 30%, 40% rally. So, I'm watching Kron very closely. Keep an eye on that. Let's take a look at some other weed stocks here. CGC is not looking too good. You know, NBEV, very similar situation here, guys, to Kron. We gapped down from 6.75 down to about 5.12 that opened up about 25%. We're holding above the 180 SMA very nicely here. And we want to see a cup pattern start to form here. And, you know, if we form a cup pattern here, we could see some, you know, cup and handle formation, you know, start to happen here. But it's kind of too early to tell right now. But what we would like to see is, you know, obviously get back up into the 5.40 range to see a break out of this resistance at around 5.40 for, you know, NBEV right here. So, let me set an alert very quickly on NBEV at about, I believe, like 6.60 looks pretty good. Not 6.60. I mean, 5.60. Let's set an at or above alert right there to see if it's pushing up towards that 50 SMA resistance, you know, next week, you know, heading into the year of 2019. I think these two are pretty, you know, pretty interesting plays in my personal opinion. We can see here, Apple is right at a resistance on the 50 SMA right here. Pretty strong recovery in Apple's stock, guys, since these four or five green days that we've had in a row, Apple's been able to go from 1.46 back up to 1.57. You know, Facebook has been able to do pretty decent right from 1.22 back up to 1.34. But this one's getting rejected actively right now by the 50 SMA here. So, you know, another lower low in Facebook doesn't look too far fetched in terms of a technical perspective. You know, Amazon is doing pretty decent right at a resistance right now, had a pretty strong recovery of about 200 points from that low. You know, Netflix bouncing up pretty nicely. It's about to test this, you know, it's about to test this 180 SMA right here. So, you know, a lot of these large caps are recovering pretty nicely, but they are still all technically down trending and they're all mostly either at resistance points or, you know, confirming the bounce to the downside, like Facebook is as of right now. So, in terms of large caps, guys, I'm still not really looking to play any of these until we see, you know, some further push up from the overall markets. I might consider, you know, taking swing trades in them potentially if we start to see some better news coming out of China with Trump, you know, you know, if some things start to clear up, maybe I might take some swing trades. But, you know, again, as of now, I'm mostly focusing on day trading these volatility and, you know, oil gas and, you know, natural gas based ETFs like I have been since the beginning of October. So, another one that did very well today was D gas. It was up 30% today. So, we saw how natural gas gapped down yesterday up to about 310. Well, we sold off even more aggressively today, all the way down to 296. And I talked about this one in yesterday's video that, you know, the gap down really wasn't a good sign. And we were hovering around this point yesterday when I did film that video. And, you know, I said in that video that there really isn't a sign right here of any types of reversal. And, you know, the downside is more, you know, the downside is more what's it called, you know, probable in terms of the technicals rather than swinging back up and, you know, pushing up, breaking this resistance, right? That is a little bit kind of, you know, out of reach right now based off these technicals, you know, this is a falling knife pattern that we are seeing here. So, for all you guys out there that played D gas today, which again was up 30%, congratulations to you. You probably paid off your months rent with that, you know, whatever, 30% in a day. If you were able to catch all of that, right, I'm sure that's a very, very small amount of people. If you made 30% today, 25%, congratulations to you because that is a ridiculous, ridiculous, you know, move right there. And another one I want to talk about before we do end off this video, because again, it's New Year's Eve. I don't want to keep you guys too long. I'm sure a bunch of you guys already clicked off the video because it is New Year's Eve, but, you know, I'm dedicated to getting these videos out to you guys. And I don't really mind if people, you know, drop off a little bit too early because this is my craft, you know, this is what I love. And, you know, I'm documenting my journey on here for you guys. And if you guys do want to stay the whole video, hey, thanks, I appreciate it, you know, thanks so much. But if you dropped off, I don't, you know, I don't blame you because it is New Year's Eve and maybe listening to me talking about stocks, you know, hey, maybe that's not your cup of tea on a New Year's Eve night, right? But, you know, JNug right here, up 7% today. Very solid day for gold. You know, we saw that little pullback early on in the day, I believe, that we were talking about in yesterday's video. Or we didn't really see the pullback, but we were seeing some, you know, some, you know, slow push down, right? I believe this was today, right? But then we saw another, no, no, this was today right here, right? We saw this push down. This is what I'm talking about, the sell-off from about 1286, down to about 1280. But then we bounced on that 50 SMA and we're curling back up right now. We're cupping back up here. And, you know, that's what really led to a really strong day-to-day from JNug. And, you know, JNug is one that I've been talking about over the past couple of weeks. It's just looking very good, guys. It's found its bottom. It's slowly starting to push back up. And, you know, if gold starts to get back into the $1,300 range, which is very probable, in my personal opinion, you know, JNug is going to be fantastic over these next couple of weeks. So, I'm going to be talking about more stocks in tomorrow's video, guys, you know, tuning up for 2019. Again, I hope you all had a fantastic 2018. Crush your goals. I hope you guys set even higher goals in 2019 and crush those goals as well. I wish nothing but, you know, prosperity, health for everyone out there. Thanks for watching me. You know, here's to, you know, cheers to a solid 2018 and an even better 2019. I'll catch you guys in the next video. Leave a like. Drop a comment. Subscribe. Again, thanks all for all the support. Peace out.
