$SPX - Relief rally might be over... back to under $4,000 soon? SPX has been experiencing a relief raly after the weekly and the daily charts were oversold however it has keey resistance levels are $4.2k and I expect to come back down as the ADX is still in the reset mode.
Bearish Scenario
Please be cautious as this rally might be short-lived. We might need to come back down to $3.6k and consolidate further before a full reversal.
Bullish Scenario
Even in a bullish scenario we still need the daily momentum indicators to drop down a bit and reset with price creating a new higher low/finding support around $4k.
Once we climb above $4.2k with momentum from the weekly and the monthly timeframes we should have another bull cycle. However, this might take at least a few month or worst case in early 2023.
Endofrally
SPX: Flashing cautionary signals (again).My cautious call of 2 weeks ago may have been premature (see link below).
However, we are now seeing additional cautionary signals on the SPX :
1. Two consecutive down days at the beginning of this week;
2. Visible break yesterday on the index (gap down);
3. Reasonable volume on the downside;
4. Traded and closed below SMA10;
5. Tech indicators turning (MACD, RSI, Stock);
6. RSI coming from very overbought levels >85;
7. Treasury yields picking up;
8. Some divergence/topping signs from tech market leaders;
9. High-volume surge in the VIX (please see chart below);
10. VIX broke/closed above two resistance levels in a day.
Current earnings should bring further steam to this market, either for a highly-expected consolidation or for a rebound.
In this context, am warming up to buying downside exposure in one -or multiple- of the following ways:
1. Reducing portfolio risk by taking selective profits/losses;
2. Buying puts on selected stocks ahead of earnings;
3. Shorting the market outright (SPY, QQQ);
4. Buying volatility outright (VXX).
The rest of this week should be interesting and followed closely.
