M for Murder, also known as the double top reversal pattern, has the SP500 or ETF SPY at a major decision point. Could Powell change gears today and stop the FOMO rally, or will he help SPY break resistance and potentially undermine DXY? Nobody knows, but today we might see it.
On the daily chart, SPY is overbought and is due for a reversal. RSI and MACD are signaling a sell, and SPY is forming a significant double top reversal pattern, or "M for murder."
On the other hand, DXY is breaking above the big red or 200-day MA (chart below)and could become extremely bullish if it closes today above it or 103.6. On Wednesday, it broke out from a falling wedge, suggesting a potential significant bull run in DXY.
On the weekly chart (chart below), SPY shows significant bearish divergences, indicating a potential sharp drop. However, there is an opposite scenario for both SPY and DXY. If SPY continues to form a high base at this resistance with lower volume simultaneously, there is a possibility it will break the July high and march towards an all-time high, while DXY may not find the strength to break its resistance and could fall.
Regardless, today could be the day that reveals the direction for the next few weeks and months. Personally, I am on the bear side. Powell doesn't necessarily need a strong market to fight inflation; a strong dollar, weak oil, and a weak market might be more beneficial!
