Blowofftop

Retest Complete. Dollar Should Continue Down Again.There's that retest to the underside of my pink line that I was previously expecting. As you all know from last weeks video, I was a bit surprised we didn't get it at the time I was making the video. Well, better late than never. This is a perfect retest. Though, the dollar could hover on the underside for a few more days, I expect that by mid-October you'll see the trend continuation down as we head for that very important, very old trend line coming all the way back from Orwell's 1984. Blow-off top in the U.S. stock market should continue until then. If so, crypto will follow.

Is 240k BTC a Crazy Idea? Maybe not...Corrections both lasted almost a perfect year. People are beginning to accept the 4 year cycle based on the halvening. 3 years of bullish action, 1 year of bearish correction. If the top trend line remains valid into the next bull run, there is a case for a 240k coin. This would land the price action somewhere between the 2.618 and 3.618 fib extension. This would also give us another touch on the top trend line. Send it. Am I crazy? You decide, in the comments of course. Not financial advice. Novice trader here. Do your own DD! Comment and let me know how bad this idea is!

SPY Has Finally Now Neared Its Final Target Of 570!Traders, It feels as though I have been discussing a SPY top at around 570 for years now and I can see from the history of my posts that this is actually true. I first started with the premise that the U.S. stock market would experience a blow-off top of sorts. Elliot-Wave theory and technicals seemed to support this idea. Though admittedly, I am nowhere near an expert in this area, I went with it, following the technical guidance of those who were. It was not too long thereafter I spotted something on the charts that I was very familiar with. This pattern supported and confirmed the idea that stocks would blow-off. What I spotted was a longer-term (2 year) inverse head and shoulders pattern. This inverse h&s played out and gave me my target of 570. 2 years later, we are finally almost there. Targets are not meant to be absolutely precise. Close enough is both good enough in hand grenades, horseshoes, and in calling market tops/bottoms. Therefore, not wanting to press my luck, I have decided to finally start taking some profit and moving to cash. Though, my target definitely could be exceeded, it is also possible that it may not be reached. I don't think the latter will be the case but I have been wrong before and could be wrong again. If I had to guess rn, I'd say this blow-off top could extend to a time frame just before election shenanigans begin. We are already seeing some of the nonsense here in the U.S. and thus, I know time is running thin. Before all hell breaks loose, SPY could touch 650. And then? Anyone's guess. Best, Stew

Stocks Good. Crypto Meh. And I Am Pulling My Stops.Traders, Market makers continue to torture crypto longs but their time is growing short. The U.S. stock market continues to press higher, led by mega-corp giants like NVidia. It is simply a matter of time before crypto follows. In the meantime though, I am tired of playing this game with MMs. For the first time since creating my public portfolio, I've decided to pull out all of the stops on my long entries. I am going to pop a few cold ones and chill for the weekend. I just don't want to play that game anymore. But please. Don't take any of this as financial advice per usual. You do you. I am only here to entertain you all with my poor choices.

Spy continues to near its target of 570 before U.S. electionsWith the dollar trending down and the VIX at low levels, we can then continue to expect the U.S. stock market to continue to rise. And, in fact, that is what we are witnessing as we close in on the blow-off top target of the Elliot Wave theory that has resonated with my instincts for these last 2 and a half years. We are currently in wave 5 and on our way to the target I have set of SPY 570-600. There is still time and I believe we will easily get there before U.S. election shenanigans begin to unfold (see my post on the VIX). Once you start to catch wind of anomalous election news events here in the U.S., know that we are near our top. For me, it will be time to pull out.

BTC BULL CYCLE PREDICTION This post is an idea I had about predicting this Bullrun cycle top using the previous cycles pattern. The general rule of the pattern is: - Bullcycle last 1065 days - Bear cycle lasts 365 days Knowing this we can predict that the end of the Bullrun will be... OCTOBER 2025. Meaning we have 670 days remaining. Estimating the peak price of BTC is a bit more challenging, we know there are diminishing returns with every complete cycle, the first cycle had a % drop of: Cycle 1-2 = 97.15% Cycle 2-3 = 82.14% By continuing the pattern of percentage drop of 15.01% per cycle, we get: Cycle 3-4 = 67.13% Using the previous Cycle % gain of 2,108.27% multiplied by our % drop off we get: 2,108.27*0.6713 = 1,315.24% or 14.1524x This then gives you % gain from start of the bull cycle. The bottom was $15,473.7 so... $15,473.7*14.1524 = $218,989 ~ $229,000/BTC CYCLE TOP Obviously this is all theoretical, I wanted to have a prediction post to look back on after this cycle but also to have a plan to sell long term holdings when price nears this area. Many aspects of the cryptocurrency world would have changed by October 2025. Mass adoption, ETF's, Regulation and so on will change the landscape of the market, this may be the last cycle of sizable gains before volatility leaves the space. 670 days left to make generational wealth.

DXY, VIX Down = SPY, STONKS UP. Blowoff Top Continues!Traders, It has been an amazingly bullish last couple of weeks both in the stonk world and in cryptos. In this video I cover what has occurred from a technical basis and what I think the charts are now showing us. In short, stonks look to continue their upward trends but crypto is less certain. I also wanted to explain why I went short on a few trades. What was I thinking then and what I am thinking now? Was I too early on my entries or just plain wrong? Stewdamus

SPY Retest Complete. And Macro-Economic Ramblings of a Mad Man.Traders, As expected, SPY bounced off of that 200-day SMA and performed a classic retest of the underside of our previous support, the neckline of our H&S. Now, the only question that remains is do the bulls have enough in them to break back above or do we remain on the underside of this neckline and potentially drop back down ...maybe even breaking the bottom of my channel (green) to proceed to our target down at $410? These questions remain unclear as of now, especially since the advent of yet another unsettling geopolitical situation and war in the Middle East. But I will watch this closely and keep you all up to speed. As of now, my bet remains that we continue upward somewhere within the boundaries of my channel even with another retest of the bottom. This supposition is mainly built upon what the dollar is doing now and will continue to do with the unprecedented allotment of U.S. dollars that will have to be printed and distributed to keep other country's wars continuing, fund the migrant costs (both direct and indirect), our regional banks afloat via guaranteed deposits, and the future economic collapse here in the U.S. that may start in commercial real estate or the housing market sector again. All of this (and we have not even introduced BRICS) will crush the dollar, eventually. Once this occurs it will take many more devalued dollars to buy a thing of worth, including stocks. More dollars to buy shares in a company will give the trading public an illusion of strength. An illusion is all that is needed. And on up we roar to complete Wave #5, the blowoff top. Best, Stew

Do Stocks Now Pump Again?Traders, With the dollar and VIX down, there are no surprises with our SPY chart showing a nice big green candle on the daily. The question remains though, will we stay in my channel and above the 200-day sma or will we continue to proceed down to the H&S target of 410? My best guess is that we'll remain in our channel. As postulated previously, the 200-day SMA along with the bottom of my channel may be all the support that is needed to guide us onward and upward. This along with more than 11 straight weeks of DXY strength (time for a break) means that the beginning of Uptober could start today. And look at that RSI helping us out as well! Wave #5 is still well intact. Best, Stew

Last Down Week for Stocks. Last Up Week for the Dollar.Traders, The dollar is now starting 12 weeks of green. You can see that today it has touched the top of its channel and that has acted as resistance. Additionally, the RSI shows that the dollar strength is now over-extended. I smell a pullback coming very soon. Possibly before the weekend. The SPY (which correlates in part with other major indexes) has this Head and Shoulders pattern in play. Target down is 410. But as I questioned in one of my last videos, is it possible that the target down will be cut short - held up by the 200-day sma which closely correlates with the bottom of my channel? This will act as a huge area of confluence and give the SPY good support. It is possible that the SPY is held up from falling further at this point and this makes sense when looking for clues from our dollar chart. A fall in the dollar would likely correlate to a bounce in stocks. I believe it is reasonable to conclude that stocks will end their pullback soon and we can expect a bounce upward at either the channel bottom OR our target down of 410. Though, I am not sure that the SPY will maintain its posture within the ascending channel, I do not believe this is the end of our upward movement and blow-off top in the stock market ....YET. Best, Stew

Will this H&S on the SPY play out?Traders, In yesterday's post, I hinted at the fact that it looks as though SPY's upward trend, irrational as it may seem, will continue, fulfilling my blow-off top thesis. I still believe this to be true. However, along the way up, there will be obvious pullbacks. We now have what looks to be a completed H&S pattern formed on SPY. Currently, we are testing this neckline support. Need confirmation to know whether it will be a break or not. Tomorrow we should find out. Till then, I am watching this along with the DXY (dollar) closely. If the dollar breaks its overhear resistance, we'll also have our answer here. This head and shoulders pattern on the SPY should then continue to play out. Watch both of these indicators closely to find more clues on further price direction in U.S. stocks and crypto. Until the next update, best on all of your trades! Stew

SPY (Stocks) looks to continue uptrendTraders, For the last year you have heard me preach this blow-off top. So far, we've nailed it. Today, the FED decided to continue the pause. No surprises here and it turned out to be a non-event in the market. The FED knows that they are "this close" to breaking everything. Macro-economically, we are on the brink of disaster both nationally and globally. Many people know this both logically and instinctively. Still the market will go against all odds and price stocks irrationally. This is happening. And my blow-off top is playing out perfectly! The dollar has had 9 straight weeks of green candles. Time to take a rest. The VIX hit a two year low this last week and remains suppressed. Dollar down + VIX down = Markets UP! Additionally, you can see from a technical perspective indicators that continue to support my blow-off top thesis: Notice Elliot Wave. We are on the final wave now. Notice that trendline (wave 5). We are still above that. Notice Ichimoku cloud is green and beneath us. Notice the 50 candle moving avg below us giving us support. Notice the green area of support below us. I am not telling any one of you that you are wrong if you believe we will eventually go down. I agree with you. But before that? BLOW-OFF TOP! Best in all your trades, Stew

SPY with a Classic RestestTraders, In my last post I alluded to SPY. I stated that it remained in breakout territory which is still true today. I stated that as long as we remain above 450, I remain bullish. Still true. In fact, all that has happened here is that we have a classic retest of previous resistance taking place currently. If we break below, another story may unfold and I will have to re-assess. But as of this post, 450 is holding strong and the retest (if it holds) is yet another rather bullish signal. Stay tuned, Stew

SPY Candle Close Today Confirms Blowoff Top Underway!Traders, There is now an amalgamation of indicators on a plethora of charts confirming the thesis that our blowoff top is now underway. On this chart, you can see that our candle close today confirms the breakout and significant move upwards. At the same time, our dollar has broken a very significant support, the neckline of a large and ominous head and shoulders pattern (see link in related ideas). And finally, to be short, our VIX remains at 2-year lows. These three signals are huge and in agreement. The Blowoff top looks to be underway. Stay tuned if you'd like to know when we reach our targets. Best, Stew

Bye Bye U.S. Dollar. I would cry, but we have BTC now!Traders, Drop it like it's hot! The U.S. dollar ain't waistin' no more time up here. Pending confirmation on the daily, the Head and Shoulders pattern will be in play. As long as the VIX stays low, stocks should follow the blow-off top price action that I have been preaching about for over a year now. If you'd like to know when the dollar reaches it's target down and stocks reach their peak stay tuned here over the next several months and we'll attempt to chart this all out together! Best, Stew

Dollar EXACTLY on Target as Predicted!Traders, It is always amazing to see properly researched TA play out as it indicates it will. In this case, the target seems to be following precisely the previously drawn arrows. Now, we will be testing that neckline on our H&S pattern again. My expectation is that we may incur another slight bounce there before finally breaking our long-held strong support, that neckline. Continued pause by the FED could help the dollar incur this crash. Inflation will be on and the stocks will continue the blow-off top I have been predicting for over a year! Take advantage of this dollar weakness for the intermediate time because once the dollar disintegrates to a certain point of future unknown weakness, the market will absorb the gravity of our economic predicament and could turn down, dropping fast and hard. We have some time before the latter occurs in my view (if it occurs) but only so much. Remain alert or follow me and I will attempt to keep you all up to date on the broader economic outlooks from the charts. Remember, this all helps us to make better trades in both the stock market and in crypto! Best, Stew SPY Chart

Dollar Doing a Double CheckTraders, The Dollar really wants to make sure that its resistance overhead is legit. From a technical perspective, I love this! Should the dollar remain below my macro uptrend line, it will be all bulls for the next few weeks/months in the U.S. stock markets. The dollar should continue its sideways/down movement during the same interim. If the VIX is any indicator, then my thesis appears to remain intact. Watch closely. Blow off top should peak by mid/late summer or early fall. Best, Stew
