a two year bull market. what has changed?its been 756 days since the bottom in the s&p500. the weekly is on an extended bull run to the 6000 region. last week has been the biggest drop in volatility in this trend.
large risk on weeks come with pullbacks, but this week hasnt bearishly diverged from the trend yet.
fib time zone tells us the trend hasnt reached a local maximum yet. the general trend hasnt changed since monday may 15 2023.
since signal hasnt changed i wouldnt try to short this market yet.
a breach of this dopen would probably lead to a pullback around pmVAH, and i would look to do this by ftz 13. still a local bear move toward the 5800 region isnt unthinkable.
i would still rely on this broader market move setting higher weekly lows and vreaking to new all time highs for the foreseeable future, which is why im leaning long here, even with the advanced age of this bull market (even post election).

what does this divergence say about indicescompared to USI:TICK , SPX/NDX is maximally diverged as stocks consolidate most heavily. the difference between indices historically closes quickly, and daily consolidation may have begun to rally the market somewhat.
the indices compared to all stocks up/down is beginning a daily bounce due to the amount of money that has gone back into risk assets as they squeeze compared to an overall down market.
i like a neutral set up leaning buy into mondayfutures have reclaimed some ground at the end of the trading week. i feel good about leaning buy towards the start of next week, as long as were holding a decent level according to this market structure/value area and volume range.
this ai strategy shows that the price is supportive of extending its gains if we hold this momentum to the upside.
Gap Down, Retrace, RolloverIm using this algo strategy to commit to a bars pattern from history in the Nasdaq. It seems that theres a high chance for continued pullback in the broader index led by tech and risk equities as bear volume picks up. these are the levels im watching for short opportunities.
uvxy headed for 1:10 revse split early feb. 2023we are breaking out in spx daily, but are we at swing low in vix? contango is uvxy is matching what it nears as we head for high $4 range where it normally reverse splits 1:10. conveniently that puts us in the expected date range of early february. this VWAP strategy says we may be in for another long entry UVXY as we top out in es1! potentially around ftz 8, and above bands crossing bull by ftz 13.
are we bottoming out in vix?its too early to tell the weekly picture, but the daily and 4hr appear to be turning the tide for the broader market in a bearish direction, and that mean uvxy could see high $5s. if we do create a top in spx, and uvxy does begin to climb today i would only at first assume its a temporary pop, but if we truly start unravelling uvxy could see high $6s. count on the market and spx returning to bull as long as were in this weekly inside bar scenario. i am all cash until we pick a direction.
the vwap strat says we could continue bullif we dont collapse completely nasdaq could be a buy in terms of where volume weighted averages and bill williams are. im buying on pullback, breakouts, and im selling a breakdown, resistance from highs. gap down i expect to close and move lower, gap up i expect to close and move higher,mostly flat and i ecpect to see move lower and then get bought up.
could the dollar be topping out?there are a few paths we could take between fib with r1 and fib with pivot. rainbow is confirming progression toward resistance in the dollar. dxy down means in this case broader markes indices futures up and crypto large cap (btcusd bitstamp) up. as btc rebounds expect it to go to close sideways with alts up after it attains same high.
short vol coming off near outside upweve gained in the market, shed short volume on vix, shed weight on short vix, and lost slightly in svxy. if you study the long term picture svxy is near breakout. 69.69 and 79.79 roughly are levels to beat before were really in the green to clear $100 as the market rebounds. ive drawn a path that can hopefully outline what the topping out proccess could look like as uvxy heads for 1:10 reverse split. normally we revisit the fib bands when price comes off overbought, but im still bullish while were above mon-wed lows targeting 66.66
lets talk about a broader turn around in technologytechnology has led the market down. semiconductors have led technology. this stock has exhibited particular rate of change and other bullish volume based oscillations. bil williams ma, vwma, ema, trama as well as displaced ma are also bullish along trend lines. this leads me to a swing vased strat for continuation following the concordant supports, resistances and resulting ghost feed. this goes for stock like NVDA, and the broader market too. i am selling as spx approached 4035-4037, and i am hedging on pullbacks in taiwan semiconductor by buying SOXS and scalping for a few pennies at a time. im long the broader market with TQQQ on breaks of resistance or support on daily higher lows.
right here, right meowin a perfect world we would be able to say that this is the start of a broader market recovery with an almost absolute degree of certainty. this is the real world however, and we all have to keep in the backs of our minds that things could still go very badly for longs. that being said bulls do appear to be keeping control of this bounce, and shorts look like theyre ready to start hitting pretty major stoplosses starting a massive squeeze. if we stay over this area, and steer all signals upward im banking on hitting those upper levels, and if we dont... then we dont. we are probably headed back to the lows at the very least, and possibly much lower if we cant maintain this momentum. however we are quite near confirmation of the first weekly higher low in more than a year. that is major.
discretionary to staple spendimg has reached a zentithwe are at a point where the use of credit to purchase staples has outpaced the use of cash to purchase other goods. the expense of debt in discretionary goods has reached an inflection point with the expense of transaction in basic supplies. the chart is at a high. the sell signal is in. count on the cost of goods being relatively cheaper, and that being bad for sales. bearish for broader market.
nasdaq rebound on pauseim into the idea of a bull pullback from the lows in the nasdaq, but its clear that the hourly trend is reversing back to bear to match the overall downtrend. this should continue, but i wouldnt be surprised to find the broader market bouncing again, but until that happens im back in with my short nasdaq position; long sqqq. im thinking top of envelope, and then we revisit that sss supply zone.
did we just start a huge move in vix?uvxy is in full breakout mode. if indices keep hitting new week lows we will probably see new 12 month lows. a good indication of this is a lot of 52 week lows hitting in stocks, and defensive sectors rotating out (UTSL staying green but hitting resistance/visiting 4hr lows), while $tick goes negative. vix has been coiled for this move for a long time, and it looks like its going to monthly highs. my guess is over $9!
slow grind up for vixduring capitulation selling in spx vix has much steeper move up, but right now it is making gradual gains alongside a market that is selling big names like tsla at an astonishing rate. if we finally decide to bottom expect uvxy to head back down toward signal, sss ma, vwap and bottom of envelope. if we break to new lows uvxy should head right ip outside the top of envelope into the upper sss supply zone. ive marked out upper, lower and pivot lines.
whether to go bull based on this daily bounce alonei onlywant to long bull breech of this pivot, short the upper horizontal, long the lower horizontal, or short a bear touch of this pivot. if sss and qqe go long, im long. if qqe and sss go short, im short. if trama gets touched,and heads down with price that adds to a bear case. if trama acts as support and rises that adds to the bull case. this applies to the full broader market spectrum, and the crypto space when the dollar is bearish for a bull crypto scenario, and dxy is bullish for a bear crypto scenario.
perhaps vix will reach for the supply near $12if we get continuation over this pivot, and a consoladative effort is made finding a higher low on longer timeframes we should trend toward the upper bands and horizontals. if we find a lower high, and bears show up to vix around the pivot we should trend below the lower signal and horizontal.
