[Pre-market Analysis, August 25] The Dow is up, but the Nasdaq is still flat. Is this market rotation or divergence? Honestly, I'm numb to it all.

OK, the market remained divided yesterday. The Dow Jones showed some resilience, breaking out upward from an inside bar like it had chugged a Red Bull. But what about the Nasdaq and S&P? They're still stuck with bearish candles; any sign of stopping the decline? Nonexistent. Semiconductors continue to underperform the broader market, and AI chips are still releasing risk. The current market situation looks more like:Capital is rotating out of AI chips and into other sectors.Today, the key focus for the Nasdaq is whether the blue candlestick gap is filled via a bullish engulfing pattern, confirming a halt in the decline. If the gap continues to break down, the correction will persist, so don't rush to buy.However, there is good news: this week should mark a turning point at the lows, or at least establish a low for a rebound.It's coming soon; just hang in there a bit longer.

GOOG: The downtrend has been confirmed to have stabilized.

Following the stabilization signaled by the Daily 9-Turn indicator and the Longmen Line, the Three-Financial-Pillars signal from last Friday remains valid. Yesterday, it broke above the high of the blue candlestick at 342.39.The buy signal for the stabilization point has been confirmed.

TSLA: It's back again.

The recent inside bar breakout was followed by a pullback yesterday, forming another inside bar. The close fell back below 352; Elon Musk will probably tweet again soon.

NVDA: Broke below 213. Are we heading to 204.50?

Bearish momentum continues; 213.44 has been broken.Entered the deep retracement zone of 213.44–204.50.204.50 is the next key support level. Without a confirmed bullish engulfment before earnings, don't rush to buy the dip. Jensen Huang's stance: Let me hit bottom first.

AMZN: The $258.58 support level held firm.
