SPX futures - It's bearish until it isn't
Updated
All indexes lost the 18ma yesterday on that dramatic reversal - bearish. On /ES the 18ma is sitting at 3680 and any test of that level is an objective short. We also lost the pitchfork fib support, so I must lean bearish until both the 18ma and the pitchfork fib support (3700 more or less) is retaken. I do think at this point we will go lower into next week. I'll be away from my desk this morning until around 10:30 - good luck!
Note
fast move up, I'm suspicious of it, but they need to close under 3700 on an hourly candle for me to short it. Right now pitchfork fib is acting as support. Note
goal for the day is to take out one or the other level for continuation. Note
one minute chart looks like impulse and correction - so far Note
18ma support zone is here, expecting a fight for this levelNote
taking shorts slowly, I expect this to keep dropping rest of day Note
starting to lose pitchfork fib but they will fight here for a while I'm sure. Very important level for both sides Note
objective short area, with stops of course, shouldn't get over 3700 if correct. Note
spy chart reaction at yesterday's trendline, this is what I'm watching for, nothing is decided yet. Note
strong rally off support - right now stopped at the .658 fib. Note
over that last high and I'll get out of shorts and wait for a safer entry. right now looks like a rejection at .658. again, over 3700 would look bad for bearsNote
stopped out of most shorts now, going to wait for the morning high to be taken out and see if the market can hold that high as support. I'll hold a few shorts in case this is another B leg.Note
if it's a b then something like this (unlikely but possible). Waiting Note
a channel on spy I'm watching for break in either direction, should be support on break up/ resistance on breakdown. Note
over the high - bullish. I'll wait for a retest to try a long trade. if it fails here it' s a bull trap and they just took out stops. Rally should continue from here. Note
back in the channel, not sure what this, waiting Note
going to collect a few shorts for the weekend. I don't like the rsi here and we're close to pitchfork resistance. This could be wrong so I'm keeping the position small. Everything looks bullish but my gut tells me otherwise. Gut can be wrong too. OK have a great weekend, I'm going out.
