1. $SoFi Technologies Inc.(SOFI)$ Big day tomorrow. First month since the expansion that we’re confirming LH on the Bx. This means Wall Street is leaving.

$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ : We've seen a clear shift from the upper to the lower Bollinger Band, and now a reversal. With multiple timeframes showing oversold conditions, a test of the 20DMA (blue) is very likely. I expect a rejection pattern to emerge (again) around the 20DMA. ➡️Nobody knows if one or two rejections, I vote for two. Thoughts?ImageSimilar pattern in $S&P 500(.SPX)$ , posted before this one.The recent lower Bollinger Band breach, acted last week' as a bearish signal, now suggests a bounce with continuation considering the candle. A move to the 20DMA is highly probable. ➡️The key question is whether this bounce will be short-lived (like scenarios 1 or 2) or sustained (like scenario 3). I'm lean
$S&P 500(.SPX)$ -> Target: 20-day moving average (blue line). The recent lower Bollinger Band breach, acted last week' as a bearish signal, now suggests a bounce with continuation considering the candle. A move to the 20DMA is highly probable. ➡️The key question is whether this bounce will be short-lived (like scenarios 1 or 2) or sustained (like scenario 3). I'm leaning towards a short-lived bounce.Most likely short lived bounce. the $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$ is not done.Was the gap-fill the sole mission of this pullback?Image
Stocks for the Long-Run? This chart provides some useful perspective and a reminder that although those were extremely different times back then to now in just about every way, markets don’t always just go up all the time every time. There are plenty of examples across countries and history of relatively trend-less markets and lost decades. It’s not a reason to be pessimistic, but a reason to be pragmatic and ready in case the market doesn’t do what every finfluencer talking-head tells you 🤷♂️ImageUS Tech Stocks = Extreme Expensive(and non-tech is non-cheap) $NASDAQ 100(NDX)$$Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ Image

Seven Stars Alignment an Ominous Sign? Do You Believe the Influence of Astrology on Stock Trading?
On February 28 this year, a rare astronomical phenomenon, the "Seven Stars Alignment," will occur, a rare event that happens only once every 77 years. At 9 p.m. that night, after sunset, seven planets (Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter, and Mars) will align in the sky. Four of these planets (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars) will be visible to the naked eye. Some metaphysicists believe that in ancient times, such an alignment was seen as an ominous sign, predicting a disaster. With this year’s Seven Stars Alignment, they predict significant fluctuations in stock market futures between March and April.Additionally, this year there will be a change in the position of the "Era Star."
