📊 ATAS Weekly: Oil, Inflation & Market Structure

In Episode 4, we break down what actually moved the markets last week beyond the headlines and noise.

In this video, you’ll learn:
✔️ why the real issue in the Iran–Hormuz situation is not conflict, but credibility
✔️ how the “grey zone” in the Strait of Hormuz makes risk almost impossible to price
✔️ what’s behind the oil range of $92–$150 and what supply shocks really signal
✔️ why softer US PPI data doesn’t change the bigger picture of rising debt pressure
✔️ what the removal of the PDT Rule means for market participants

🔹 how limit orders influence price dynamics;
🔹 what the heatmap reveals that standard candlestick charts don't;
🔹 key patterns every trader should know;
🔹 how to tell real volume from traps.

📊Weekly Instrument Breakdown | NQ | Macro & Geopolitics

✔️The Main Points
Nasdaq closed last week at all-time highs, with one of its key components Intel posting its best single day since 1987 (+24%). All eyes now turn to Wednesday's Fed meeting, which will be Powell's last as Chair, and lands on the same evening as earnings from MSFT, GOOGL, and META.

⬆️ What's Supporting the Price?

🔹 Intel's Q1 demolished every estimate: revenue of $13.6B vs $12.4B expected, EPS of $0.29 vs $0.01. Data Center & AI revenue grew 22% year-over-year. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose for 18 consecutive sessions. This isn't an Intel story. It's confirmation that agentic AI workloads are creating demand well beyond GPUs, pulling CPUs and advanced packaging into the cycle.

🔹 Big Tech isn't pulling back on spending. Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon are collectively guiding toward ~$700B in AI infrastructure capex in 2026. As long as the monetization question remains open, the investment cycle continues and Nasdaq is its primary beneficiary.

🔹 The Iran ceasefire is holding. NQ has largely ignored Middle East risk, correctly treating it as an energy story rather than a tech story. The truce has been extended, active military operations are paused and that gave markets an additional push toward new highs.

⬇️ What's Holding Price Back?

🔹The Fed isn't cutting rates anytime soon and the market has accepted that. July cut probability sits at just 14.5%, December at 44%, down from 61% just weeks ago. With core CPI at ~3.5% and oil near $94, Powell has no case for a pivot. The implication is straightforward: Nasdaq is trading at all-time highs with expensive money, and without the Fed as a backstop, any disappointment in data or guidance hits multiples directly with nothing to soften the blow.

🔹The real test comes mid-week. Wednesday brings the FOMC decision, immediately followed by MSFT, GOOGL, and META earnings. Thursday adds Q1 GDP and core PCE, then Apple and Amazon after the close. This isn't just a packed calendar it's a window where each event can independently reprice the market, and right now the market is priced exclusively for good news.

🔹The GDP/PCE combination deserves particular attention. Q4 2025 GDP was revised down to just 0.5% a multi-year low. If Q1 shows similar weakness while core PCE re-accelerates above 2.7%, we get a stagflation signal: growth slowing, inflation not falling, Fed unable to act. For Nasdaq, that's the worst possible backdrop.
Iran remains a tail risk the market is currently choosing to ignore. Talks have stalled Iran refuses to negotiate under the terms of the US naval blockade. If military action resumes, oil spikes, VIX follows and what looked like an energy story quickly becomes everyone's story.

📌 Bottom Line

The market enters the busiest week of the quarter at all-time highs and that says a lot on its own. The AI narrative is intact, capital is flowing, and Intel gave bulls a reason to stay confident. But by Wednesday, that confidence meets reality: a Fed with no reason to cut, and mega-cap earnings that need to justify current valuations. If everything lands well, the move continues. If it doesn't there's a long way down from here.

Technical setup and trading scenarios in Post 2.

📈 Weekly Instrument Breakdown | NQ | Technical Setup

After printing fresh all-time highs, the Nasdaq 100 has entered a zone where the technical picture calls for extra caution. The index is trading near 27,402 following a clean break above the previous ATH zone (26,401–26,520). Structurally, the position remains strong: key resistance has been broken and held, with CVD confirming buyer dominance throughout the move. But a lot will depend on Wednesday's macro narrative when the market could potentially face profit-taking and a pullback.

📍 Current Technical Picture

Key resistance: NEW ATH 27,551
Support 1: 26,750 (current month open)
Support 2: 26,401–26,520 (OLD ATH / former resistance zone)

🗒 Scenarios for the Sessions Ahead

📈 Bullish (50%) - breakout and continuation

If: the index holds above 27,400 and breaks 27,551 on elevated volume.
Then: the path opens toward the 28,600–29,000 zone without deep pullbacks.
Trigger: strong earnings from MSFT, GOOGL, META and a neutral Fed tone. In this scenario, a pullback entry may never come the market moves higher without looking back.

👍 Rally via pullback (~25%)

If: NQ fails to clear 27,551 on the first attempt and corrects toward 26,750 (monthly open).
Then: this is a healthy reset after an aggressive rally, offering a long entry with controlled risk. Following consolidation, a new impulse toward 28,600+ becomes the base expectation.
Trigger for the pullback: hawkish Fed rhetoric or mixed mega-cap earnings.

📉 Breakdown and structural shift (25%)

If: earnings disappoint, the Fed turns unexpectedly hawkish, or the Iran situation deteriorates the index could break through 26,750 and retest the OLD ATH zone: 26,520–26,401.
Then: a daily close below 26,401 signals a short-term structural shift and opens the door to a deeper decline.

This week is event-heavy. No position should go unreviewed before the FOMC decision and mega-cap earnings are out.

🔄 New Drawing Tools Features
Based on numerous requests from our community, we’ve added three features to make chart analysis cleaner and more convenient.

🖌Brush
Full freedom! Draw lines and custom shapes, highlight zones, or leave notes directly on the chart. You can find the Brush in the Lines menu. By default, it draws in purple, but you can adjust the color and thickness in the settings.

🔄 Keep Drawing Mode
The selected tool whether it’s a brush or a trend line stays active until you turn it off manually. This makes it easier to draw multiple trend lines or brush strokes in a row. You can control this mode via the menu or the drawing toolbar button.

⏳ Timeframe Settings
Keep your charts clean! We’ve added a Timeframes option to all drawing objects. Want your M5 trend lines not to interfere with H4 analysis? Just uncheck unnecessary timeframes, and the object will only be visible where it matters.

More to come. We continue improving the platform to make your visual analysis as comfortable as possible.
