Q2 Earnings to Come Under MicroscopeS&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for MON. 07/17 The big banks have kickstarted the earnings season last Friday with JP Morgan and Wells Fargo, and are going to gain steam this week with other big names in Finance and Tech. This week should shed some light on how earnings are shaping up in the wake of the sticky inflation. With a quarter-point rate increase almost a given, the July FOMC meeting may be a non-event, and earnings could be the driving force for the next few weeks. If early earnings show any unexpected weakness ("unexpected" is the key word there), then we might have seen an interim top; but, if the earnings appear to be on track or with a bias to the upside surprises then the next bull leg could get well entrenched. The previously stated level of 4500-4505 is now a key area to watch for both as a support and as a resistance level. Positional Trading Models: Our positional models indicate staying out of the markets until otherwise stated. By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an index-tracking instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session. Aggressive/Intraday Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today. Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4526, 4520, 4513, or 4502 with an 8-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4510, 4499, or 4490 with a 9-point trailing stop.  Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4523 or 4517, and short exits on a break above 4493. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 11:31am EST or later. By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention). To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals. (WHAT IS THE CREDIBILITY and the PERFORMANCE OF OUR MODEL TRADING PLANS over the LAST WEEK, LAST MONTH, LAST YEAR? Please check for yourself how our pre-published model trades have performed so far! Seeing is believing!)  NOTES - HOW TO INTERPRET/USE THESE TRADING PLANS: (i) The trading levels identified are derived from our A.I. Powered Quant Models. Depending on the market conditions, these may or may not correspond to any specific indicator(s). (ii) These trading plans may be used to trade in any instrument that tracks the S&P 500 Index (e.g., ETFs such as SPY, derivatives such as futures and options on futures, and SPX options), triggered by the price levels in the Index.

Earnings Kickoff In EarnestS&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for FRI. 07/14 The big banks have kickstarted the earnings season with JP Morgan and Wells Fargo numbers coming in strong.

SP500 Black Swan Event Incoming!Following on from our alternative account which has now become our primary count we have cleaned up the chart and think we are very close to the top of this B wave, as retail traders and the media are turning bullish on the stock markets we think it's a matter of time before the rug is swept out from under the bulls feet and we come crashing down to our target of 3200. A 1300 point move from current prices! What could spark such a sharp move? China invading Taiwan? Inflation staying stickier than analysts expect? Moving into a negative growth environment? There are plenty of things that could spark this move, what it will be is anyones guess. All we know is if our analysis is correct this move will be very sharp and catch a lot of people off guard.

Ideal Bull setup? We will see 👀We are at a point were speculation can take over reality and I am hesitant in picking a direction specially when we have PPI coming out tomorrow. Still today I was expecting for ES to take out its highs at $4498 which it did, but I was also looking for a stronger rejection that the retest we got. This is due to the Dollar weakness. Tomorrow Thursday is hands off till after news. What can happen? Price can stablish a new high and continue higher towards it target at $4586 not sure if we have the juice for that but it is best to be prepared. It all depends on what is taken out first. Yes. If the lows at $4500-4496 are our first target the we can expect if we see a bounce a new High and a good attempt for those really juicy highs at $4586 Please keep in mind the dollar index it should be your guide. What I would like to see? I would like to see energetic stregth to the upside if not we are bound to retest lows sooner rather than later.

PPI Good News on Inflation Bad News on Recession?S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for THU. 07/13 The softer than expected PPI on the top of yesterday's softer inflation numbers are likely going to stoke the "Half Full, Half Empty" debate to a higher pitch. The die-hard bulls would like to see it as an indication of the coveted "soft landing", while the die-hard bears would like to cast this as an indication of potential recession ahead. The next question that needs to be answered to resolve this debate in one way or another: is the softening inflation going to impact earnings numbers? We will start getting a glimpse into this starting from tomorrow. If early earnings show any unexpected weakness ("unexpected" is the key word there), then we might have seen an interim top; but, if the earnings appear to be on track or with a bias to the upside surprises then the next bull leg could get well entrenched. The previously stated level of 4500-4505 is the next area of resistance. Positional Trading Models: Our positional models indicate staying out of the markets until otherwise stated.

S&P500: Targeting 4,570 but may take a while.S&P500 made a new yearly High today after the U.S. CPI report and solidified the 1D bullish technicals (RSI = 66.131, MACD = 48.400, ADX = 25.681). The MACD indicator if it makes a bearish cross, it will form a similar pattern to the start of May where it turned the index into a 2 week consolidation before making a new High. We will wait for a pullback near the 1D MA100 before buying or will make a breakout buy if the price crosses over the R1. In either occassion, we will target near the top of the four month Channel Up (TP = 4,570).
