#TradingDay: $100 oil looms  | Reuters

July 22 (Reuters) - The Nasdaq fell on Wednesday, dragged down by software stocks ahead of some major tech earnings reports, while deepening conflict in the Middle East pushed oil prices sharply higher again and Brent crude closer to the $100 a barrel mark.

In my column today, I look at the yen's slide to a 40-year low against ​the dollar. There are many reasons, including the global energy shock and yield differentials, but central to the currency's chronic weakness is Japan's growing ‌policy credibility deficit in the eyes of global investors

Today's Key Market Moves
STOCKS: Europe +0.6%, UK +1.2% to near 5-month high. Dow and S&P 500 flat, Nasdaq -0.5%.
SECTORS/SHARES: Six S&P 500 sectors rise, five fall. ⁠Utilities +2.3%, comms services -1.3%. Google -3% in choppy trade after earnings, Tesla -3% on after-the-bell earnings.
FX: Dollar/yen holds above 163.00, euro steady around $1.14 ahead of ECB. COP hits 5-year high, NOK rises vs EUR for 14th day in last 17.
BONDS: 2-year JGB yield 1.475%, highest since 1995. U.S. yields up 3-5 bps across the curve, 20-year auction demand ok but high tail.
COMMODITIES/METALS: Oil +3% to 6-week high, Brent closes in on $95/bbl.

In this video, Gareth #Soloway breaks down exactly how he uses the Fibonacci retracement tool to time entries and exits on semiconductor trades, plus the oil short he just initiated at major resistance. This is the real methodology, walked through live on the charts.

Gareth called oil's move into the $87 to $88 resistance zone over a week ago and shorted it right there using USO. Now he lays out the downside targets and what has to happen for oil to break lower. From there, he dives into the semis, showing how the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retrace levels tell you where a pullback should stop and how high a bounce can run. He walks through Seagate (STX), Marvell (MRVL), and SanDisk live, explaining why a stock's reason for running (real demand versus hot air) changes how deep it pulls back.

If you have ever wondered where to take profit, where to re-enter, or how the pros stack technical factors for higher-probability swing trades, this one is for you.

Watch to the end for the exact levels Gareth is monitoring into major earnings from Alphabet, IBM, ServiceNow, Tesla, and Texas Instruments.
