SPX Breakdown or Another Push Higher?

89
Hi y'all thanks for tuning in! Here are a few written notes to sum up the video.

Indecision at New Highs
After breaking out to new all-time highs, SPX printed a doji on the weekly chart, signaling indecision. This hesitation could mark the start of digestion.

Still Structurally Bullish, but Extended
The weekly chart shows SPX is still holding trend structure, but price is notably extended from the 10EMA. Historically, when price moves too far from key short-term EMAs, it tends to reset either via time (sideways chop) or price (pullback).

Daily Chart Shows a Shelf Forming
On the daily chart, price has been consolidating just under the prior high with small-bodied candles. This is forming a “shelf” around the 6,260–6,280 zone. It’s acting like a pause, not a breakdown. Holding above this zone keeps the trend intact.

Pullback Risk Increases Below 6,232
If price loses 6,232 (last week's breakout area and short-term shelf), it increases the likelihood of a pullback toward the 6160 or even deeper toward the 5970. That lower zone also marks the bottom of the prior consolidation box from earlier this year.

Seasonality Reminder
Historically, July is strong in the first half, with weakness (if it shows up) arriving mid-to-late month. So far, price has tracked that seasonal strength. Any weakness from here would align with that typical timing.
Trade active
I'm not trading this but am just here to give an update. Right now the way price is acting on several of my stocks on my trading list, plus the structure on the S&P is giving me info that we may be rolling over. There may be an opportunity here for some shorts. The levels I listed in my latest newsletter are:

Pullback to the 10 EMA (~6320): A dip to the 10 wouldn’t be unusual. If price pulls back and holds that level, it would still keep the trend intact. This has been the shallow reset level for most of this run. From here we could chop around to digest the new high.

Deeper move to the 20 EMA (~6250): If we lose the 10, next up is the 20. This would represent a bit more weakness but still nothing dramatic. I’d expect some chop or pause around there if it gets tested.

Drop to the 50 SMA (~6130): That would be about a 4–5% pullback, which is well within normal range but would feel more like a “correction” in sentiment. This level lines up with the high from February before SPX’s correction.

A few red candles to the uptrend line (~6335) : We might just chop around somewhere between the inner and outer uptrend line, letting the moving averages catch up.
