Nasdaq: Why Shorting a Bull Market Is Often Just Ego

16min | 01/27/2026

Description

In this episode focusing on the Nasdaq and the Nasdaq index, I analyze the current bullish dynamic and discuss a simple yet unpopular idea: shorting in this context is often just fighting the flow. I break down specific market levels like 25,750, 25,800, and 26,000, explaining concepts of support and market breathing. You will hear why I prefer waiting for a clean consolidation rather than acting on ego. We also review the S&P 500 and Dow Jones, look at gold hitting new records, examine Bitcoin under pressure, and cover the earnings season news regarding Intel. This audio analysis provides a clear perspective for traders navigating these volatile US markets. Subscribe if this helps.
