Price Action shows a-wave advance topping, b and c-waves to comeThere is no doubt the rally off the October 2023 low has very little distinguishable structure to it. However the MACD indicator has made a new high so we DO NOT have negative divergence telling me, we will get a downward retracement, but this recent rally is not done to the upside. For this advance to top in a more sustainable fashion, we would be rallying on negative divergence. Therefore the blue pathway for price is the higher probability. Since the SPX has not made a new high, I am still carrying the black pathway on the chart as it valid below the ATH.

SPX should have every chartist out there conflicted...The SPX consolidation around the orange downtrend line is confusing every chartist out there for good reason. Why-because it is giving off conflicting signals and history really isn't much of a guide. Typically when you draw a monthly downtrend line using 3-6 months of a trend line and then you have an monthly open or close ABOVE the downtrend line (orange line on my chart) you see continued follow thru. However Nov 2022 closed above the orange line but then December bearishly closed below it (no follow thru). Jan then closed bullishly above it and now Feb looks to be closing above it but have see-sawed around that downtrend line with rather large open/close monthly ranges. This tells me, at this point, neither the bulls nor the bears can claim victory. The bulls see a "inverse H&S" on the monthly line chart however there's no break of the neckline thus far and therefore it's just a "what if" at this point. The bears see one big bear flag on the monthly but again that too is just a "what if" at this point. Here are past SPX charts using the same downtrend line analysis: For me, I'm staying patient & neutral with most of my trading cash sitting in my IBKR account earning decent interest income until I can see a clear winner. After studying the above you can see that "bull" breaks of the orange line typically last many months to many years BUT the bulls IMO have not proven themselves at this point so for me it's better to stay in cash; earning a decent risk free yield. It's worth noting-there are so many examples of bull breaks of the downtrend line with follow thru but only two examples (1975 & 2002) of breaks in the downtrend line WITHOUT immediate follow thru so you have to respect that we are in a conflicted market. What I am watching: VIX (my read of this chart is saying a spike above 30 is not in the cards for a bit-you can read my recent VIX posts as to why) DXY (The ROC in how this thrusted downwards is telling me, in the very short term, the chart is rather weak and we are currently experiencing a countertrend to the downward trend than begun in Oct 2022) 2YR/10YR yields: The thrust from the breakouts of the downtrend & horizontal lines are not the same type of thrusts we saw previously so IMO slowing yield thrusts are telling me the bond market seems to think yields might be starting to "level out" before they possibly reverse course (to the downside) but only if we actually experience a recession. I do believe that yields topping & coming down is actually bearish for the market near term so I am watching them very closely for a reversal sign to the downside. Why-because that means the economy, on it's own merit, is actually not too strong without stimulus, QE & ZIRP. I also think the topping process of yields will play out over weeks/months...it's not going to be a sharp pivot and this topping process could cause markets to chop for weeks/months...

BTC Expectations for the new year, one mfin ride. More below! BTC has shown bullish willingness. I anticipate the new year to visit the lows around 25K, and the quarterly FVG, I will be there to accumulate some. Market might decide not to even go there and just fill the inefficiency at 32K and decide to moon from there. I'd worry about BTC if we close below 19K and stay there for over a couple of days. I'm not a Crypto bull but I'm for sure a Fiat bear so it forces me to be a crypto bull to a certain extent. If the ETF goes through and it most likely will, I expect volatility but eventually the highs around 65K will get swept. I highly doubt they're safe and I want a piece of the cake. With a bearish TVC:DXY and a bearish outlook on the future of fiat in general, we might see crazy numbers on BTC. I will keep the idea updated as the market tips its hand. let's enjoy the ride.

S&P500 Is 4800 the end of the road after 9 green weeks?The S&P500 index (SPX) is currently on its 9th straight green week (1W candle) following the October 23 (weekly terms) bottom. That was a Higher Low on the 15-month Channel Up and based on that pattern, the index is approaching its top (Higher Highs trend-line). What adds more weight to the very high levels it is trading at, is that the All Time High is just above the current price at 4820. A peak on that level would represent a +17.40% increase, exactly the % rise of the first Bullish Leg of the 15-month Channel Up that peaked on the week of November 28 2022 and then corrected by -8.06%. With the 1W RSI almost overbought (70.00) as it was on July 24, which was the peak of the previous Higher High of the Channel Up that initiated a 3-month correction of almost -11% and the 1W MACD on a post Bullish Cross level similar to the highs of August 15 2022 and November 28 2022 that kickstarted corrections, the selling pressure has now considerably stronger parameters to start. This means that, at least from a technical perspective, this is the strongest sell opportunity since late July. A minimum correction of -8.00% would deliver a test of the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) and as such, our target is 4450 (slightly above it). If however the bullish trend continues for a few more weeks and pursues the maximum % rally we have seen since 2021, which has been +20.95%, then we can see an extension at around 4950, in which case we will add an additional (2nd) sell and both our bearish targets will be restructured at 4580 (-8.00%). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

S&P500 Start selling. Top of Channel is near.S&P500 / US500 has almost completed a +17.30% rise, which is the prince range it grew by on the December 1st 2022 High. That was the first High of the long term Channel Up pattern that started on the October 13th 2022 bottom. The Channel Up still has a little more room to go upwards before reaching its top but since the price is already over the 0.786 Fibonacci level, we are already inside the long term Sell Zone. Sell and target 4570, which is a possible contact point with the 1day MA50 and the 0.5 Channel Fibonacci. Technically the decline can reach as low as the 0.5 horizontal Fibonacci at 4445.

S&P500: Holding the 4H MA50. Still bullish.The S&P500 index is now on a healthy green 1D technical outlook (RSI = 65.835, MACD = 82.010, ADX = 81.214) following a much needed technical pullback yesterday that eased the previously overbought technical indicators. On the 4H timeframe, the index is still inside a two month Channel Up, which found support yesterday on the 4H MA50. As long as it holds, we will stay buyers until the end of the year, aiming at its top (TP = 4,850). If the price crossed under the 4H MA50, we will short aiming at the 4H MA100. If that is crossed as well, we will target the 4H MA200, which is close to the bottom of the Channel Up. It has to be said that the RSI has been inside a Channel Down, meaning that at some point, this bearish divergence will start a correction.

S&P500 The rally still has one more High to give at least.The S&P500 index (SPX) pulled-back yesterday on the strongest 1D red candle since October. A natural technical reaction after weeks of rise-only price action and an overbought 1D RSI that almost hit 83.00. The long-term pattern remains a Channel Up since the October 13 2022 market bottom and as long as the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) is supporting, it is likely to see one final upward extension towards its top (Higher Highs trend-line). The two major Higher High sequences (bullish legs) of this Channel have been around +20.50%, extending almost as high as the 2.0 Fibonacci level. As a result we are expecting a minimum of 4930, before any larger correction takes place, unless of course the index breaks above its Channel Up, in which case we will look for a new pattern. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Weekly Update: Expectations after such an impressive rally?I remind in my updates periodically, that nothing clears up confusing-overlapping price action, like more price action. Meaning sometimes, as an analyst, it can be difficult to forecast precisely what is playing out, until right before a pattern concludes. This current pattern off the October 2023 lows is one of those occurrences. Corrective waves can take on many shapes aside from a standard A-B-C retracement. As patterns mature, counts will change as more price action occurs providing additional clarity. The rally off the October 2023 lows has no particular definitive shape and started out in a overlapping manner. The application of Elliott Wave Theory is not magic, nor is it some sort of divine foresight. The forecasting of markets is reading into the human behaviors of crowds. Yes, most of the time, crowds act in predictable fashion…in contrast, other times, they do not reveal their ultimate intentions until the very end. Currently below SPX 4818.62 the advance off the October 2022 low of 3491.58 remains a (B) wave retracement. The moment price breaches that level the ending diagonal pattern becomes the most valid conclusion. The problem I currently have with the ED pattern is this advance would fit best as just the a-wave of wave 5 in an ED. However, there are no rules governing this this pattern aside from each of the 5 waves must consist of 3 subwaves...to breach 4818.62 in direct fashion would provide that...so whereas I would expect this to be just the a-wave...the pattern would fulfill the minimum criteria of being complete. So, we have very little clarity to speak of until we get a decline. The pathways forecasted are outlined above.

🔝 Nasdaq-100 Index: The House of Rising SunThe History is happening right here! ✨ Nasdaq-100 Index NASDAQ:NDX just set its Best First Half in almost 40 years since inception in 1985, with amazing 38.75% year-to-date return in 2023. Among all semi-annual results, Nasdaq-100 gain this year is second only to the year of 1999. With historical 61.44% gain in the second half of 1999, glory times shortly ended. Just two months later in the 1st quarter of 2000 index peaked at 4816.15, for the next 15 plus years. As 38.75% surge in 2023 still far away from the All-the-history record 61.44% in 1999, stocks feel this year like they are, as the great 1960's band "The Animals" said, in the House of the Rising Sun. They won the race, and closed the 1st half of the year with solid gains. Let's take a look and congratulate the winners of the race! ✨ 🥇 The 1st place - Nvidia Corporation, 184.84% YTD return NASDAQ:NVDA Nvidia is the clear winner in the AI arms race so far. It's the company that appears best positioned to dominate the burgeoning sector, and more and more investors continue to wake up to the potential of artificial intelligence. Nvidia effectively provides a one-stop shop for what customers need to drive their AI ambitions. They control their entire ecosystem on both hardware and software, similar to Apple, and that puts them years ahead of competitors. 🥈 The 2nd place - Meta Platform Incorporation, 133.66% YTD return NASDAQ:META Meta Platforms stock jumped this year after the tech giant's first-quarter earnings beat Wall Street's expectations. CEO Mark Zuckerberg also touted the tech giant's AI plans, and pledged to keep costs low as the owner of Facebook, WhatsApp and Instragram continues its "year of efficiency." In a post-earnings call, Mark Zuckerberg hailed the company's AI efforts and vowed to keep a lid on spending. The Meta founder and CEO said AI recommendations had led to people spending over 24% more time on Instagram since it launched TikTok rival Reels. 🥉 The 3rd place - Tesla Incorporation, 120.88% YTD return NASDAQ:TSLA Tesla's stock price has been rallying non-stop for months - and Wall Street is starting to ponder whether that breakneck surge might've made the EV stock a little overvalued. Shares have jumped 57% since late April, with investors cheered by CEO Elon Musk signing charging deals with Ford and GM, while Big Tech stocks have also soared more broadly thanks to the rise of AI as an investment theme. The stock just has settled its best two-quarter advance since 2020. But Barclays, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs have each questioned that valuation over the past two weeks, with all three banks slashing their Tesla rating from "buy" to "hold". Unprecedented dominance It's historically rare for a handful of stocks from the same sector to make up such a large part of the S&P500 ( SP:SPX ). The last time the five biggest companies by valuation accounted for a quarter of the index's total market cap was indeed the 1960s.

The Fed Put is back – buy the dip is a key theme of 2024 As many try to put reasoning to the perennial grind higher in US equity markets, one clear factor is that the market sees one major difference between 2023 and 2024 – the ‘Fed put’ has been reborn and the metaphorical safety blanket for risky assets is back in the mix. Cast our minds back to January 2023, and investors were seeing inflation falling, with headline CPI coming in from 9.1% (in June 2022) to 6.4% (in December) – however, confidence of further falls was still low, and traders saw the path for inflation as evenly distributed. The absolute level was also still very high, and the Fed were hellbent on bringing that down, where at the time many felt that this could come at the expense of a recession - which was the big consensus view. We also knew that the Fed was focused on reducing its balance sheet through FWB:95B p/m in balance sheet runoff (or QT). For many, the perception of reduced liquidity meant being underweight or bearish on equity and credit. It’s not hard to understand why the market felt vulnerable, believing the historical saviour of the capital markets was no longer going to support, even on a 15-20% drawdown in the S&P500. 2024 is a very different dynamic In 2024, the Fed have a 5.3% fed funds rate to play around with and can cut rates if there is a need to support businesses and the consumer. A far cry from the zero-interest rate world we’ve been accustomed to for many years. Having reduced the balance sheet by over MIL:1T and having numerous case studies showing how effective the use of its balance sheet has been in providing targeted and immediate support. The markets know the Fed will not hesitate to utilize its balance sheet to provide target liquidity and capital to stave off any issue deemed potentially systemic. Most importantly, the distribution for US inflation is now considered skewed and one-sided, with a high probability of lower levels. Hence, the Fed has increased scope to ease policy should the need arise, and while Fed officials are saying their work is not done, and the last push to get to its 2% inflation target is the hardest part, they can front load cuts far more efficiently when core PCE is at 3.5% and falling. In recent times we’ve seen massive inflows in US equity and ETF funds, accelerated corporate equity buy-backs, which are suppressing volatility, and generally FOMO capital chasing returns. Within the flows, there’s been an active rotation into junk and high leverage equity, as well as high short interest plays – confidence is clearly euphoric. It’s easy to argue that traders know that if a tail risk event plays out in 2024, then this time is different, and the Fed (and other DM central banks) will support asset markets. The strike price for the 'Fed Put' has moved far closer to the market. Recent history has shown time after time when bad things happen, they are nearly always rectified in a positive fashion and we ‘climb the wall of worry’. Its why funds are consistent sellers of volatility on spikes. The buzz phrase for 2024 Talk of a ‘Fed Put’ will be a major buzz phase in 2024 – markets may even test it out and take on the Fed to search out its willingness to act and to support. For market participants, it suggests that equity drawdown will be supported and ‘buy the dip’ will be back in vogue once again – not that it really has gone away.

VIX showing that tension is expected soon in the stock markets.The Volatility Index (VIX) is trading within a Channel Down pattern since the September 28 2022 High, which has also been the start of the 2023 recovery year for the stock markets (SPX illustrated by the thin black trend-line). Being negatively correlated in nature, when VIX declined within this Channel, the stocks rose and vice versa. Since October 23 2023, VIX started to decline again and that sparked the stock rise which is holding up to this day, the end-of-the-year rally. However, we see a deceleration on VIX's decline, while its 1D MACD has formed a Bullish Cross since December 01. Being so close to the Channel Down bottom, a technical rebound is technically plausible and the pattern is recurring as it resembles a lot the previous Lower Lows. If it does reverse upwards, the SPX can react a few days later as during the previous bottom process and reversal (June 22 - July 27) it lagged. In any case, this pattern shows that by January 2024, we should expect heightened volatility translated potentially into a (short-term at least) pull-back on the stock market. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

S&P500: Possible top near 4900. RSI highly unsustainable.We are not saying that the S&P500 won't complete this market wide desired rally in the last two weeks of the year. Even January could be bullish. But since the price is approaching the top of the 14 month Channel Up, while the 1d RSI is highly unsustainable deep into the overbought zone at 80.00, the market is most likely positioning itself for a strong technical correction. The last time the 1d RSI was that overbought was on June 15 2023 and November 05 2021. The latter in particular looks very similar to today. Both patterns peaked at least 6 weaks after the RSI got this overbought. New All Time High most likely will be made at 4900 at the very top of the Channel Up in a typical overextension of the market to trap as many late buyers as it can. Follow, Like, Comment below!

If it breaks, sell and target 4550 (bottom of the Channel Up and 4hour MA200). Previous chart: Follow us, like the idea and leave a comment below!!

S&P500 Bullish unless this Support level breaks.The S&P500 index (SPX) is extending the bullish leg of the 16-month Rising Wedge pattern. It doesn't have much room left before it hits the top (Higher Highs trend-line) of the pattern and as long as this stays intact, it targets 4730 as an end of year target. As you can see, throughout this pattern, its shorter Rising Wedge patterns that have driven the price upwards on the bullish legs, just like the current. The previous broke to the upside and peaked on the 3.0 Fibonacci extension while the first one failed and when it broke the Support (last Higher Low), it declined to the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level below the 1D MA50. As a result, if the Support (4535) fails first, short and target 4370 (0.5 Fibonacci). The 1D MACD is about to complete a Bearish into Bullish Cross pattern, which was favors the bullish scenario. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!
