Netflix Stock Drops After Earnings ReleaseShortly after publishing its financial results, Netflix posted a decline of over 5% toward the end of the week and continues to show a strong bearish bias. This comes despite reporting a positive earnings per share (EPS) figure of $7.19, beating the expected $7.08, and revenue of $11.08 billion, slightly above the forecast of $11.07 billion.
However, in its post-earnings communications, the company stated that it expects very moderate growth for the remainder of the year. It also warned that the positive indicators could begin to compress due to increased spending on marketing and content, which has ultimately weakened the impact of the solid financial results. As a result, the stock faced persistent selling pressure heading into the weekly close.
Uptrend Breaks
Over the past few weeks, starting in early April, the stock had followed a steady uptrend, pushing the price above $1,300. However, continued bearish corrections have now brought the price down to the $1,200 area, causing a clear break in the previous uptrend. This breakdown could further strengthen the bearish pressure in the coming sessions if the negative sentiment persists.
MACD
The MACD histogram continues to move below the zero line, and as it drifts further from this level, it signals a steady bearish momentum that could remain dominant in the near term if the trend continues.
RSI
The RSI line has broken sharply below the neutral 50 level, indicating a clear dominance of bearish momentum in the market. As long as it does not reach oversold territory, this move may suggest a continued increase in short-term selling pressure.
Key Levels:
1,332 – Recent High: This is the most important resistance level. If price action returns to this area, it could reactivate the previous uptrend, which had been weakening on the chart.
1,250 – Nearby Resistance: A barrier defined by the most recent neutral zone. It may act as a temporary ceiling against short-term bullish corrections.
1,175 – Key Support: A critical level located below the 50-period simple moving average. If the price breaks below this level, it could strengthen a bearish bias and trigger a more consistent downtrend.

AAPL Set for a Breakout? | Technical Checklist & Projections
▍Observation & Context
▪ AAPL has been moving sideways within a clearly defined range for the past three months .
▪ On July 07 , price tested the range resistance decisively, showing some interest in the upside.
→ Let's first explore the bullish breakout scenario.
▍What Makes a Good Breakout ?
Before we talk about targets, let’s define what a good breakout looks like:
▪ A strong bullish candle breaking through the resistance in one clean move .
▪ Followed by a retest of the broken resistance (now acting as support).
▪ After that, price should ideally:
1. Form a higher low , and
2. Reach the next resistance or target zone before pulling back.
▍Target Price – Method 1: Extension of the Range
🔹 Near-Term Target: 1.5–1.618x Fibonacci Extension
- A common zone where momentum often pauses.
- Aligns with the previous high from the last downtrend.
- Technically, to reverse a trend, price needs to take out the previous high. Even though the range has “cooled off” the pressure, we still respect that level.
🔹 Ultimate Target: 2x Range Extension
- Represents a 100% projection of the previous range.
- Commonly used in range breakout targets.
🔹 Dream Target: 2.618x Fibonacci Extension
- Aligns with the start of the last downtrend , adding significance to the level.
- Often marks the exhaustion point of strong trends.
▍Target Price – Method 2: Projection from Higher Low
Note: The new higher low is not yet confirmed at the time of writing. The levels below assume an upward breakout without dropping below 207.22 . However, the same logic can be applied once the higher low forms.
🔹 Near-Term Target: Same as Method 1
🔹 Ultimate Target: 100% Projection of Prior Swing
- Projecting the prior swing (from previous low to recent high) from the new higher low .
- This level also aligns with the 1.5–1.618x Fibonacci extension of that swing, increasing its significance.
🔹 Dream Target: Another 100% projection
- Rare, but happens when momentum is very strong .
- In such cases, price might skip any retracement and launch directly into a second leg , equal to the previous swing.
- Here, the level aligns perfectly with the start of the last downtrend , just like the 2.618x extension in Method 1.
▋Mental Notes
▪ No one knows for sure if the breakout will be real or fake. But when it happens, knowing what to look for and where price might go next gives us a clear plan of action .
▪ The market will always find ways to surprise. Stay open and follow the flow.

Litecoin Continues Its Bullish Cycle As ExpectedLitecoin Continues Its Bullish Cycle As Expected, which can send the price even higher from technical point of view and by Elliott wave theory.
We talked about Litecoin back on May 30, when we spotted a bullish setup formation with waves (1) and (2) that can extend the rally within wave (3) of a five-wave bullish impulse.
As you can see today on July 18, Litecoin with ticker LTCUSD is now breaking strongly back above May highs after we noticed a complex W-X-Y correction in wave (2). Now that ALTcoin dominance is stepping strongly in, we may easily see more gains within a projected five-wave bullish cycle during the ALTseason, just be aware of short-term pullbacks.
$WIF | Inverted head and shoulders $Wif/Usdt
BINANCE:WIFUSDT.P
The price is formed the Inverted head and shoulders pattern and did a breakout of the neckline, expecting the price to retest green lines (neckline).
If 1H CC hit and bounce above the green lines, it'll be a long opportunity.
Entering at current price will increase the SL, it's suggested to wait for a retest, to have better entry and a good risk management.
Use only 1-2% of your portfolio.

TP:
Pay attention to the 3350 high point suppression!At present, we are paying attention to the short-term pressure near 3340-3350. If this position is not broken today, the daily line will continue to maintain a downward oscillation state, and continue to pay attention to the short-term competition near 3340-3350. Considering that the US dollar index is at a relatively high level in the short term, there is a certain demand for pressure repair, which may also bring a certain range of fluctuations to gold. Therefore, the gold operation maintains a range of fluctuations of 3300-3350. In the short term, we also need to pay attention to the emotional impact brought by fundamentals. From the current gold trend analysis structure, the short-term support below continues to focus on the vicinity of 3310-3300, the short-term suppression above focuses on the vicinity of 3340-3350, and the key pressure above focuses on the vicinity of 3380. The overall trend is running around the 3300-3350 range. The operation is mainly to participate in the volatile market with the idea of selling high and buying low, and remain flexible in response. It is recommended to wait and see more and do less in the middle position, chase orders cautiously, and wait patiently for key points to enter the market.
Gold operation strategy: Go long when gold falls back to around 3315-3305, with a target of 3335-3340.

_Bitcoin Update
As you all know recently BTC just made a ATH record and aggressive move up panda fam right ? 🚀
Now bitcoin is consolidating or moving sideways in this structure panda fam same time altcoins are moving crazy upwards like altszn 🤯🚀

TAKE NOTE : As long as we are inside on the structure its still consider as sideways panda fam or ranging in short undecided directional bias. ✍️
BTCUSD: Bearish Logscale Butterfly with Bearish RSI DivergenceBitcoin has been setting up at the log adjusted 1.902 HOP for a Type 2 retest of the Logscale Bearish Butterfly for the last few months but recently pushed a bit above it and appears to be settling at the linear 1.902 HOP of the local price around the $118,000 area. Between $104,000 and $118,000 is a zone of linear of logscale Fibonacci confluence pointing towards the being the area to look for a more major downside reaction than we got off the initial Type 1 Reaction 1.618 PCZ reversal in 2021.
The most recent push to the linear 1.902 seems to have allowed the structure of the RSI to develop a more Bearishly Distributive and Divergent curve, while the MACD is in the process of developing a 2nd layer of Bearish Divergence. Ultimately at these highs we'd like to see the RSI weaken further as price begins to settle back within the 1.902 bearish zone of confluence before being more sure of downside.
Additionally, during the push higher, longer dated bearish call interest came in around the 123-125k levels which to me signals a newly formed hard resistance that will be hard to gap over and will make failure here more likely. I think if we do see failure we can of course fill the CME gap down at 91.8k, but ultimately the true first target is down at 30k with max targets down near the 0.886 around $4.8k and the 100 percent retrace down at around $3,123.51 over the coming quarters.
Taking into account the wide range in downside exposure I think the best and safest way to speculate on this downside would be through the buying of the March, 27th, 2026 Puts at the $95,000 strike or the closest IBIT equivalent March, 20th, 2026 Puts at the 58 strike this will give plenty of time, as well as plenty of range for the puts to appreciate 10's of thousands of dollars in value as BTC trades down into the targeted zones below it.
BTC Pullback Near 200 EMA – Bounce or Breakdown?Bitcoin is currently undergoing a measured pullback after its recent push toward $121K. On the 1H timeframe, price has tested the 200 EMA and held so far, forming a short-term support near $117K. This aligns with a prior consolidation area and is showing some early signs of bottoming.
On the 4H chart, price is also consolidating after a healthy run-up. While momentum has cooled, BTC remains above key moving averages. RSI is approaching mid-range levels (~48), and the QQE is lightly bearish but not aggressive.
Key Zones to Watch:
Support (1H + 4H confluence):
🔹 $117,000 – $117,300 (EMA 200 + historical pivot + bounce region)
Resistance/Breakout Target:
🔹 $118,500 – $119,500 → Area where shorter EMAs are clustered
🔹 $121,000 → Previous local high
Take Profit (if bounce plays out):
🔹 TP1: $119,200
🔹 TP2: $120,800
🔹 TP3: $122,800
Scenarios:
Bullish Bias (if price reclaims $118.5K+):
Reclaiming EMAs and printing higher lows would suggest continuation.
RSI crossing 50 and increasing volume would confirm short-term bullish momentum.
Bearish Bias (if $117K breaks):
Breakdown from this base could send BTC to test $116K or even back to $114.5K range.
Look for volume spike + MACD/QQE confirmation for further downside.
Summary:
BTC remains in a constructive uptrend on higher timeframes. The current pullback is still within normal range, especially while price respects the 200 EMA on both 1H and 4H charts. This is a key decision zone—bulls want to see a reclaim of $118.5K, while bears need to break below $117K to take control.
