NAS100 (NASDAQ)
Passing its first Day after a breakout test by trading above its former 23729 high.
So keeps its strong bid while above 23729 but the spike high to 23986 and looming 24000 level argue for a risk of a breather. However, a breather has not been in the NAS dictionary but still worth noting.

US500 (SP500)
Passing the test on the first day after a breakout by setting a new high (6483) holding the former record high at 6441, now support.
Now dependent on 6441 holding to keep a risk on 6483 and 6500 above it.
The spike to 6483 is worth noting but only a factor if 6441 fails to hold.

Fed grappling with impact of tariffs as it ponders rate decisions, Goolsbee says
By Reuters, August 13, 2025 2:26 PM
Goolsbee cautious on assuming tariffs as one-time inflation shock
Fed’s next policy meeting is on September 16-17
Goolsbee says labor market solid despite slowing job growth
Aug 13 (Reuters) – Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee said on Wednesday the U.S. central bank is grappling with understanding whether tariffs will push up inflation just temporarily or more persistently, which would inform its decision on when to cut interest rates.
“As we go into the fall, these are going to be some live meetings and we’re going to have to figure it out,” Goolsbee told the Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce in Springfield, Illinois. “The hardest thing that a central bank ever has to do is to try to get the timing right when there are moments of transition.”
my heart does not bleed for the central bank
Invesco QQQ Trust – QQQ
Yet another one hitting the All Time High, and moving into uncharted territory
The channel that it was moving within from 2015. is now broken to the upside and only logic is to
expect it  now to hold onto it and widen it accordingly
That means the possible target – high might be in 850 area
For that to happen, we have first to see that previous resistance is now really a strong support
It comes at 555.00 right now
Do not expect to see that mentioned possible target/high any time soon – might take years for it to
happen…
Right now, if QQQ holds above 575.00 today, it will have a chance to make a new high tomorrow..

Palantir Technologies Inc. – PLTR
No new high today
We have two possible scenarios:
–         Palantir holds above 183.50 today and closes above 184.50 – tomorrow we would have another leg Up
–         Palantir loses 183.50 and subsequently 182.10 – we would have at least a consolidation , if not full blown correction
For all those doom scenario fans – once it climbed above 160.00 Palantir entered a higher channel , and in worst case scenario it will Yoyo between about 160 & 190 for quite some time…
