Special Update: This is an UGLY rally, But I'm done FightingThere is so much I don't like about this rally (I have addressed this a lot in the past) but price is the ultimate arbiter. So, it is not my nature to be closed minded. Am I ready to go long? No...but the market doesn't care about my readiness. Let's recap my trading: 1. I am short -25 4300 calls at $7 that expire End of February. I raised $8,679 in premium. Today those calls appreciated to as high as $16.50 so my trade drawdown was a staggering 120%. Currently the price to buy back is $12.50 which would cost me $15,554.50 so almost double what I raised. Now, in truth, those options have NO intrinsic value. Their only value is those options have 27 days of life...but they're worthless below 4300. I made a hedge trade that profited $7350 so account wise I'm not in a bad situation at all. This strategy is my edge. I spend a lot of time analyzing charts but my trade strategy is encapsulated by planning on being wrong and profiting. Hopefully that makes sense. I hope to educate on this strategy as I think it's the only way to trade as a business. Lets recap my analysis: I believe I have misjudged this rally off the 3502 low. This has moved higher much faster than I anticipated and in the interim, (even though I knew price would come into the 4300-4500 area)...I didn't anticipate for it happen so fast. But I have given price every opportunity to retrace into the areas I have been anticipating 3850-3700 and that hasn't happened. Therefore I have look at this with fresh eyes and come up with a rational means of profiting from the price action. So let's discuss the details. 1. The upside officially is not confirmed until price breaches 4180 which hasn't happened. However, we're above ALL Fib retracement levels. Price is not screaming at us, but it's definitely raising it's voice it has intentions are go beyond the 4180 area. So, "Price, you have my attention". Sidebar: Back to my strategy of selling premium. I still have 160 points to fashion a hedge. I cannot stress enough that trading for profit is different from just trading. IT IS MY JOB TO PROTECT THAT POSITION. I will take action to either protect through hedging, or trading around that position, but I cannot stress enough, this strategy allows you to be wrong, and still profit. It is my central strategy. Some people are married to crypto, stocks, or indices. I'm married to profit. This strategy affords me the highest probability of profiting the vast majority of times. 2. Giving price the benefit of the doubt, I have to claim the 3788.50 bottom in mid December is our b wave bottom. If I get get proven wrong so be it...but risk management dictates for me to posture my trading that price is going to 4300-4500. I do not see it going there in February...but I'm going to be open minded. 3. Therefore based on our b wave being done we have key resistance areas at: (1) 4180 which is the prior high (2) 4207.50 .618 Extension of our a and b waves (3) 4309.25 is the .618% retracement level of the entire decline. Expect a reaction here. (4) 4321.25 .786 Extension of our a and b waves (5) 4327.50 The August 2022 highs (6) 4466.50 The 1.0 Fib Extension If we get over 4180, these are the price points that become essential to me to trade around. If we fail to get above 4180, then we can decline in a flat back down to 3788 area of higher, but that's the parameters as of now. Lets look at the micro count: Whether this is a c wave top (abc off of 3788 not to exceed 4180) or wave 1 of a larger c of b into the 4300-4500 area is yet to be seen. 4180 will answer that question for us. But I'll be watching for a retrace in a wave 2 to potentially put on a long mainly for hedging. I'll update in the morning but this is timely analysis and I wanted you to have it tonight once I finished it. With that I’m done for evening. Best to all, Chris

Part 2 - Fibonacci Price Theory on SPY 60 Min (Deeper we go)After 25+ years of research, study, and application of some of the most incredible trading strategies - I'm sharing one of the MOST IMPORTANT structural price theories with all of you... The Fibonacci Price Theory. The primary rule of the Fibonacci Price Theory is: Price is ALWAYS seeking NEW HIGHS or NEW LOWS. Price is never NOT attempting to reach NEW HIGHS or NEW LOWS. Let that sink in for a minute. If you knew price was always attempting to establish a trend, or continue a trend.. how would that change your trading/investing tactics? What if I showed you how I use Fibonacci Price Theory? And how YOU can use it to further your own trading skills? Here you go, A 60 minute SPY chart where I'm applying the basics of Fibonacci Price Theory to the current market price rally. If you've ever wanted to learn the TRUE CONSTRUCT of price - this is it. All other technical analysis techniques (Elliot Wave, Indicators, & others) are constructed from PRICE. Price is the Ultimate Indicator. Pay attention and follow my research.

Learning Fibonacci Price Theory - MUST WATCHEven though I got cut off after about 25 minutes, I'm sharing this with all of you to teach you how to use one fo the most important PRICE STRUCTURE features for any chart Fibonacci Price Theory. The consensus of all TA is that PRICE tells us everything. Fibonacci Price Theory is the REAL DEAL. Use it on a 1 minute, 5 minute, 60 minute, or Daily - ANY TIME-FRAME Use it in conjunction with other TA/Indicators. Use it with Elliot Wave analysis. USE IT. My experience is that all indicators/theories/strategies have strengths/weaknesses. If you are not aware of them (yet) - pay attention. Follow my research and I'll continue to try to share tidbits of advanced TA/Fibonacci with you. I created this to help my followers/friends learn one of the most critical price structure components of my own research. I see all price charts in the manner I've illustrated in this video. After more than 15 years of applied Fibonacci Price Theory/Structure - I can't help but NOT see price as "Fibonacci Fractals". Hope this helps.

SPX500 / ES / SPY - Enjoy the Party While It LastsThe period of market activity following the November CPI pump has been both a choppy grind and hard to get a handle on. I had personally believed that the market makers would run 3,700 long ago, but that we wouldn't set new lows. Turns out, after much deliberation, they ran 4,150 instead and dumped it back to 3,800 but still haven't taken 3,700. When trading, anyone who genuinely "knows" what is going to happen also isn't allowed to speak to the public. There are contracts binding their mouths with big penalties for violation. Ergo, literally all of us who are trying to do this are making a best-basis effort to anticipate what's going on and what's going to happen with limited information available. What this means is that to increase your accuracy and avoid blowing yourself up, you have to continually revaluate what you think is going to happen on the basis of what is actually happening in front of you. This is an important ability to build, but there's a lot of inner obstacles. You can only do it via determined and diligent mental and emotional self cultivation and improvement. All on its own the last 45 days of price action tells us something. The December FOMC rendezvous with the September CPI dump formed a double top where big, big fund positions selling short will be carrying market buy orders to exit their positions as part of their risk model because "resistance was broken." In terms of the market retracing and coming back to take out that level, this doesn't always work out, as seen on both Tesla at $315 and WTI Crude at $93. But, when combined with this three week period of "bear flagging" (it's just consolidation) and, as we saw on Friday with an unwillingness to trade lower even on Non-Farm Payroll day, arguably the third most volatile news driver of the month behind CPI and FOMC, it tells us more. Looking at daily candles, The fact that the market makers appear to want to trade higher without trading just a little bit lower to take the giant fund sell stops at 3,700 indicates to me that the biggest cowboys are actually long and the intention is to keep selling. Now, you're probably used to thinking, "Doesn't the price go down when big money is selling? Doesn't it go up when they're buying?" The answer to that is yes, but no. Think about it: if the banks were to sell low and buy high and then buy high and sell low, like you do, wouldn't there be a 2008 financial crisis all the time? Wouldn't they also blow their accounts like you do? Instead, although it takes a lot of money to buy and sell the orders planted along the way, the reality is that big funds and banks are selling on green and buying on red. Selling on green and buying on red. I've heard if you work at a trading desk and you buy on green and sell on red you'll quickly find yourself holding a filing box on the sidewalk waiting for the Uber to take you back to your apartment. This is really worth thinking about. Looking at monthly bars, last January was a 600 point nuclear month. The algorithms, although they do perform fractals on a consistent basis, generally, do not like to repeat themselves in such an obvious way. Ergo, expecting January '23 to be a big nuclear month may be a bit of an error in judgment. I think everyone now understands that the global economy is in big trouble, the living environment is in trouble, and on top of that the central banks aren't in the mood to run a bailout or a rate cut to save markets from crashing. And yet, they don't crash. That's because it's the same idea as the blade of a guillotine. Before you drop the hammer and decapitate your victim, you first slowly pull the rope so the knife is hanging high over head. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall." I believe that what we're about to see happen is SPX 4,230. There's a gap conveniently placed right above the double top from before September CPI. Both this and the late December pivot @ 3,79x are both very obvious on weekly candles. Once we get there and everyone has turned bullish again and forgotten where they are in the diagram, then it's time to start looking seriously at getting risk off and buying puts. Once the calamity really starts to unfold, you aren't going to see consolidation like this and we're not likely to get big bounces along the way. The kind of 200 points down one day 200 points up the next saw during COVID hysteria also isn't likely to unfold. It's just a question of what the catalyst will be. And that catalyst may very well come in the form of "China." I say "China" because although it may unfold in the nation of China, the issue is the Chinese Communist Party. You really have to separate that rogue regime from "the Chinese people" and "the Chinese nation." China is being absolutely sacked by Wuhan Pneumonia. The pandemic situation there is not like the COVID pseudo-pandemic we saw in North America. And this situation has been true for the better part of 3 years. Although the CCP covers it up and hides the data, just like they did during 2003 SARS, nobody seems to have learned their lesson that the regime is a chronic liar. Or at least, when it comes to the topic they exercise "Three Monkeys." One day that isn't all that far away, Xi Jinping and the Party will really be unable to contain reality any longer. In the same way that a forest fire that's absolutely out of control and absolutely raging will eventually roll towards the city (See 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire) and start smashing up industry, people, lives, and the regime for real. The warnings signs of this will be kept quiet by western media until it can't be hidden any longer. So you likely won't get much notice besides that prices stay high while volume drops and the USD and VIX start going on a "weird" moon mission. When it starts, you'll be greeted by unprecedented Monday morning breakaway gap downs that never recover. Ultimately, what I want to say to everyone who reads this is that the tribulation won't be limited to China's borders and will quickly become international. It will be the kind of thing that global governments cannot keep a handle on, either, and the problem will concern more than your stock portfolio. To evade and escape the disaster, it's absolutely critical that you do your part to oppose, reject, and stop supporting the Chinese Communist Party and all the Marxist-Leninist, socialist things it has spread around the world during the last 23 years via the United Front Work Department. It's a choice you both have to make, and one you'll be forced to honour by history.

SPY Update (60 Min) - Rally Day Pause ExpectedEven though my SPY Cycle Patterns suggest today is a RALLY day, I see the SPY has extended to an upper resistance channel (near $414.80) and may pause/slide sideways/downward a bit today. I do expect support near $412.30 to act as a floor for any contraction. I would expect the SPY to hold above $412.30 and attempt to rally higher IF this price level is tagged today. Overall, if we see a rally above $415 today - the SPY will likely extend the rally phase. Possibly target $421 to $427. The Fed unleashed a wave of RALLY (Risk-On) for many investors. My advice - play this move safely right now. Although it looks very promising, I still believe 2023 will stay very congested until Q3:2023. Then, we may see a moderate MELT-UP extend to new all-time highs again. Follow my research.

Morning Update: Looking at the Bullish PerspectiveIt's hard to get excited about something you don't like. That's the best way to describe this pattern...I don't like it. But moving forward the below becomes my primary micro count in (black) as I believe it has earned the benefit of the doubt. I have an alternate count in (purple). However, I'm tracking this final move higher as impulsive so all the target boxes are areas I expect price to enter for each remaining wave. I can only assume we're going to extend because as of right this structure only points to 4240-4268.50. So if we are going to extend, wave 3 is where we should start to see some of that occur. I am watching closely to see if price behaves by hitting ALL the ideal areas. Failure to do so may signal we're coming up short. First test is we should get one more poke higher to complete wave v of 3 into the 4177.50-4188 area. Our minor wave iv may not be done so a trip down to 4020-4040 should not be a surprise. Our MACD indicators are starting to show overbought levels...so a longer drawn wave iv makes sense. My purple count supposes we could top where I'm counting wave 3. We do not get our first sign we have topped until we breach 4048.50 and confirmation comes ONLY with a breach of 3901.75. If we top in purple it is quite possible this entire move up will only be the a wave of larger B. That would certainly solve the time duration issue I have had. Key is to observe if price remains impulsive or if cracks start to emerge signaling we will not be hitting the standard retracement area for our larger b-wave this go around. My goal is try to get my short position in a more delta neutral posture with a hedge of some sort. If I do anything to hedge, I'll update this post so if interested keep referring to this post to get the play by play.

S&P market maker sell modelYoutube still wants to short it... but we come from a Monthly Orderblock. Shorting is DONE! Now the Buyside is target. They will create the "bullish breakout" and all the Buy stops get taken into the market. This is when everyone thinks crash time is over. But do you think economy is good? This displacement that they will create above the highs will trap everyone in long. This Breakout traders will be burned to death. Think about it... They are not done down there. They would not let the sellside sit there. This is where they all place the sell stops when they chase the breakout this month. And when the real crash comes in summer months, this is where smart money accumulates the sell stops to build the new long positions.

If SPY Breaks Above $410 - we could see $420+ very quicklyBreaking above the $410 resistance level could be a very big sign that bullish price trending is building momentum. Ultimately, I don't believe the SPY has enough momentum to get above $440~450 in 2023 - but I could be wrong. I do believe we will move into a bout of sideways congestion after Q1:2023 - and slide into a period of complacency. Near the start of Q3:2023, I believe we will see the bullish price trend resume - likely starting a push towards new all-time-highs again. We are certainly living in interesting times.

Morning Update (Early): Thought Experiment for Fed DayLet's do this early? Huh? I'll be able to sleep in tomorrow morning...yeah!!!!!!!!! First, Let’s revisit some things for new readers of my work. On occasion I will make a detailed, but educated, guess on the direction of the markets strictly based off the charts. Typically, these would be done on days of perceived high volatility due to some news or event that is occurring. These so called “thought experiments”, were originally posted to try to make the case that news or events do not move markets, they are mere catalysts to substantiate an already existing outcome contained in chart analysis. I started doing these because as I posted and shared my analysis I would typically be inundated with comments or direct messages asking how would the Fed, the release of CPI, GDP, etc. affect my current analysis. I simply got tired of saying, “It Doesn’t”. So in an attempt to communicate to my followers that I wasn’t just being arrogant in the protection of my analysis, I attempted to game the price action prior to the big event in what I termed a “Thought Experiment”. Today’s “TE” would be my sixth post front running big news with my thoughts on the ensuing price action. I think my followers would agree with me when I say I think I have proven my original point by now. Nonetheless, I have been asked to do another so here it is. Now I will tell you what most already know. This pattern off the October lows of 3502 and the subsequent December 22nd low of 3788 has frustrated me. My problem with the October low is the manner in which we bottomed. I cannot make out a clear 5 waves down into 3502 on the smaller timeframes. Some practitioners of Elliott Wave don’t mind looking past such issues. To me, these little clues should tell us something about the pattern we’re embarking on. Since the October low we have risen but in a very overlapping manner. I could say the same for the rise off the December 22nd low. I have been calling for a larger b-wave rally into the 4300-4500 area of the SPX futures but this pattern has not been clear to me that is ready to do that. I admit that. Our larger a-wave took 10 months to complete. We're going to head up and complete our larger b-wave in 3 months? Maybe...but I just have a hard time buying into that. So in a position where I am unclear about the overall pattern I have to go with what I think makes an already unclear pattern, clear. I could be totally wrong...but WTF. Here’s my Thought Experiment for Fed Day: 1. I believe we open up down tomorrow morning in the cash market. 2. we spend the vast majority of the day moving flat to up but nothing impulsive. (Range prior to fed announcement 4050 low end to We close the gap from the open) 3. Upon the fed announcement we spike up into the area of 4140 to 4154 conclude our ED pattern. 4. Post 2:30 Powell conference call...we begin to decline impulsively. Sidebar: If this does happen this would mark the second time we have come into this area and been rejected. I think if this does come into play it really sets us up for the red count. This becomes a reversion to mean trade in my opinion. Traders overshoot and undershoot all the time. They tend to live on the margins of extreme. Personally I hope we just decline to 3700's and be done with this so we can spend the vast majority of 2023 grinding higher. But the ED count is intact and I have to go with that pattern as of the writing of my morning update. Now I will conclude with THIS IS A GUESS AND I WOULDN'T TRADE THIS. I have to admit...these "TE"'s are exhausting because I have to spend a considerable amount of time looking at multiple charts (SPX, ES) on multiple timeframes....so even if this plays out perfectly....it doesn't mean I'm genius by any stretch of the imagination. Let's see how things shape up tomorrow and where we are in the aftermath of tomorrow . I think the clues will be invaluable. But I have to say #sub3788hurryupalready Best to all, Chris IMPORTANT NOTE: SOMETIME BETWEEN MID AND END OF FEBRUARY I WILL ONLY BE POSTING ONCE PER WEEK HERE ON TRADING VIEW.

#ES_F Tuesday 1.31.23 Prep Review: Sunday Globex opened right at key level of 4084-7, attempted to get back over but failed trapping the buyers and yesterdays end of day supply above. We sold got the move lower which broke 4061-56 and found buyers at lower support area of 4046-42 pre market. At RTH Open we corrected short inventory back to our Resistance area of 4084-77 where more sellers stepped in. Selling back down and holding under 4061-56 was showing us that this is now our resistance making possible target at 4046-42 which was already tested multiple times and T2 low below it at our 4031-25 Support. We did get our move lower but it happened towards the end of the day which makes us think there are still buyers below and we didn't have enough supply to break it just yet. Good trades today from resistance down, stayed with the trend. Overview: We are currently in distribution mode and our range is 4077-4030, we got up against big resistance last week and trapped some more supply over 4084 which we saw today coming out under 4061. We had enough short covering today to keep us up over resistance and not test T2 Low which was at key support until end of day... does that tell us that the buying is so strong and keeping us up or are we just taking our time dropping the bid lower to not scare off willing buyers? Tonight our nearest Resistance is at 4046-42 and Support is at 4030-25 since we are in distribution mode we are not sure when they will be done and ready to move out of this range. We are currently below T2 range but inside Previous Day range, as long as we are holding under 4061-56 that is a sign of continued weakness from above but must see a break of 4030-25 for first sign of lower continuation and then get under 4012-08. For signs of reversals to the upside we must hold 4030-25 and start taking out higher resistance areas and especially holding over 4061-56. Can we stay in distribution range until data starts hitting this week to bring more volume or will we make a move outside the range again? Levels to Watch: Daily Resistance: 4123-4084 Intraday Resistance: 4084-77 // 4061-56 // 4046-42 Daily Support: 4012-3988 Intraday Support: 4030-25 // 4012-08 // 3994-89 If Broken then 3957-53 // 3944-40

Back to the bigger picture - ES/SPX 500I have been fixating on 3600 as a possible low coming in March for a few reasons - 1. weekly and monthy BB are close to each other at that level (the October 2022 low was also monthly and weekly BB support) and 2. the monthly 50ma is near there as well. I tried a few more pitchfork ideas, and right now this is the one I like best. If we get to the median line by mid March, it will be approximately 3600, give or take. If the weekly rsi comes down as hard as I suspect it may, then we may see weekly hidden bullish divergence at strong support. I also recently saw an article quoting investors as being in a agreement that a new low is coming this year. I don't doubt that a new low will come eventually, but this year would be unlikely if this 3600 support holds. finance.yahoo.com " Roughly 70% of the 383 respondents in the survey say the stock market has yet to hit the bottom. The biggest weighting — 35% — says the lows won’t be in until the second half of 2023. "

Evening Update (Early): Have we already Topped?I guess that's the big question...Have we Topped, or does this rally continue? Although we end up in the same place, the green b-wave (is the black count) it just supposes we topped already and the ending diagonal will eventually become invalidated. I placed that b-wave there ONLY because we have a full pattern as of now. But not to get ahead of myself so far the ED is playing out nicely so a lot of potentials. Additionally, I broke the red count out of the closet. Although a low probability, it is a valid count. In this morning's update I stated..." In the 4008-4009 I may open a small long position. I’ll update if I do. " Very soon after I published my morning update I bought, Initially , as a hedge 3 ES contracts at 4008. I updated the morning update post as I moved stops higher and eventually sold all 3 at 4057 for $7,350 in profits on the day. Since my short calls generated just under $12,000 in profits... I didn't want to waste $7k protecting $12k. Therefore I'll restrike higher if I have to as it would seem I have almost 250 points of perceived safety. This puts me at approximately $19,000 in potential profits for February so far. I say potential because my short calls do not expire till end of February. Tomorrow we have Fed Day. As a reminder my followers have coaxed me into posting a Thought Experiment for Fed Day. Look for that in my morning update tomorrow. Thanks for having me stick my neck out... it's all in good fun. Sorry this post is early but I have plans this afternoon and won't be in a position to post this evening.

Morning Update: ED on Shaky GroundThis morning the ES is declining just below the ideal spot to continue to support this ED pattern. Last night I advertently type 3990 for ED invalidation. Its 3980. 3980 represents the .884% retracement area and last fib retracement and a very uncommon area used by Elliottitions . This decline should ideally hold the .618% - .786% zone. Nonetheless, if for some reason price breaches 3980 today this ED count will be invalidated. So far, I believe this move down will hold at 4008-4009 which is the 1.0 extension of this decline from Friday's peak of 4109.25. Below is a close up of the ED. You can see after the 1-2, each subsequent retracement should land within the ideal area of the .50% and the .786% Fib Retracement. Our b of c of 3 landed right at the .618%. We are just below the .618% retracement now for our wave 4. The .786% resides at 3994, .884% at 3980. In my opinion, below the .786% by much is a big clue this will not complete as an ED. So this ED could be on shaky ground...but let's see if today provides further clues for tomorrow. In the 4008-4009 I may open a small long position. I’ll update if I do. Tomorrow's morning update will be my Thought Experiment for Fed Day. Thanks to all for participating last night.

Evening Update: ED pattern is Filling In but is that reality?Today we got a little retrace and so far our Ending Diagonal pattern is intact. This would mean we should get one more high into the 4130-4170 area but well within the confines of the trendlines. If the ED is playing out then price should come into the .618% of the previous move up which would be 4018-4021 area and bounce to approximately the 4130-4170 area. Now, I have stated this before, but to be abundantly clear...we have enough waves in place to consider this retracement a full pattern. Therefore, if price were to decline lower than 4018...and breach 3990 the ED is invalidated. If 3990 is breached on this move down then we look to 3901.75 to hold but in truth we stand a high chance of heading to the 3850 area, but more than likely sub 3788 becomes the ultimate destination. One of my followers @Only_Losses wants to do a thought experiment for Fed Day. You guys know the drill ...I have to do what my followers request so if 25 replies to this evening update say "Do it" I will hang my neck out to dry...expose it to ridicule for the world to see. But only if at least 25 of you want to see me experience that pain...lol. Best to all, Chris

ES Daily time frame, down trend lineThe ES daily time frame is in long term bearish trend. The market is near the down trend line and if resistance holds. It is expected the market to push bearish. There is a future support level below the market that would make an ideal target price point 3546.50 about -1,913 ticks below the market. As long as the market stays below the daily down trend line. It will be a good idea to turn to the one hour time frame and to look for high prices in the sell zone.
