Capturing 2000 points & 4840

Apr 9, 2026 13:11 | by Ashraf Laidi

On March 30th, I sent an IMT (see here) highlighting how we called the bottom in Nasdaq at 22780, with a video demonstration shown here . On Monday, we issued a bullish post on Nasdaq, calling for a rally extension to 24,440 at the meeting point of the 200-DMA.  This is what we call 2000 points highlighted to out WhatsApp Bdcst Group members. We ignored the insults-ridden messages of Trump, we disregarded his threats to "destroy civilisation" and stayed Long Gold and Long Nasdaq until 4840 and 24,440. 4840, you may recall is a near make-or break level for Wave 4. So,  You have two choices: Chase Trump and the news on every release, or stick to a set of fundamental and technical framework. Here is one message sent on Monday before going on holiday.

It is no surprise for risk appetite to rally in April. After all, April is the 2nd best month for US equity indices as an average of the past 25 years. The charts below show the next threshold resistance for risk appetite. Notably, US100 faces a confluence of 200-DMA and trendline resistance around 24380-24440.  SPX faces its 200-DMA at 6644. Gold needs to save 4640s, while silver is capped at a wedge resistance at 74.00.
