Inflation Tame. Next Question - Earnings Soft?S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for WED. 07/12 Markets are happy with the soft inflation numbers. The next question on the minds of investors - is it going to impact earnings numbers? 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. We will begin to get a sense of it starting Friday and then into early next week. The previously stated level of 4400-4410 continues to be in play as critical support. 4500-4505 is the next area of resistance. 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 4502, 4473, 4460, or 4431 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4498, 4487, 4469, 4457, or 4427 with a 9-point trailing stop.  Models indicate no explicit long exits, and short exits on a break above 4491. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:01am 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.

S&P500 Short and medium term sell potentialS&P500 (SPX) made a yearly High last week and a Higher High on the Channel Up pattern that started on the October 13 2022 market bottom and guided the market out of the 2022 Bear Cycle. This Higher High opens up two sell possibilities one on the short and one on the medium term. The short term indicates that a Megaphone pattern similar to April 04 - May 04 is emerging that targets the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) as part of its Lower Low. That would also test the Internal Higher Lows trend-line, so it makes sense to short and target 4320. This is where we will attempt a medium-term buy targeting 4640 (March 29 2022 High) but will only hold it as long as candles keep closing above the 1D MA50. If even one 1D candle closes below, it will activate the medium-term sell possibility and we will sell targeting the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level towards the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) as well at 4150, similar to December 22 2022. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

S&P500 Will attempt to find Support near the 1day MA50S&P500 is so far on a flat 1day candle after a series of 3 red. That keeps the price inside a Channel Up since March 13th and of course inside the longer term Channel Up since the October 13th market bottom. The index should seek support on the 1day MA50 as it has done since March 30th, so that's a short term sell opportunity to 4330. Consequently that will be the new Higher Low (bottom) on the Rising Support of the narrow Channel Up, hence a buy opportunity targeting Resistance A at 4500. If the 1day candle gets closed under the 1day MA50 though, sell and target the bottom of the wide Channel Up and the 1day MA200 at 4150. Follow us, like the idea and leave a comment below!!

S&P500 has activated a short term, at least, sell sequence.S&P500 has a 3 day bearish streak. Both medium and long term patterns are Channel Ups. The medium term has the MA50 (1d) as the Rising Support and the long term the MA200 (1d). At the moment, it seems that a Megaphone consolidation such as April-May is in order. Trading Plan: 1. Sell on the current market price. 2. Buy at 4310 (bottom of the medium term Channel Up). 3. Sell if a (1d) candle closes under the MA50 (1d). 4. Buy at 4130 (bottom of the long term Channel Up). Targets: 1. 4310 (bottom of the medium term Channel Up). 2. 4640 (Resistance 2). 3. 4130 (bottom of the long term Channel Up). 4. 4640 (Resistance 2). Tips: 1. The RSI (1d) is exactly at the bottom of its Channel Up. A break under it, is a sell confirmation. 2. There have been two -9% corrections since December 2022. A new one would push the price straight to the MA200 (1d) which is intact since March 24th. Please like, follow and comment!! Notes: Past trading plan:

ADP and NFP Divergence S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for FRI. 07/07 The divergence between yesterday's ADP payrolls numbers and this morning's Non-Farm Payrolls numbers is giving the optimists on the markets dreams of the Goldilocks scenario (aka "soft landing" or "softish landing") to unfold, while the pessimists on the markets are fretting over potential slowdown and the 'R' word. Overall, the twin numbers serve to leave the markets wanting for more clarity than not, and that could help continue the recent spike to consolidate for some time. The previously stated resistance level of 4400-4410 continues to be in play as critical for the next directional leg. With a quarter-point rate hike later this month a given, the FOMC meetings might be becoming non-events unless there are any negative surprises in any upcoming data.

Tight Job Market, Rising Yields...S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for THU. 07/06 The FOMC meeting minutes released yesterday, and the ADP jobs numbers this morning, and the consistent Fed speak...all point to more interest rate hikes (albeit at a slower pace) ahead and the rising yields are showing that the bond markets are bracing for that scenario. While the equity markets seem oblivious to the rising yields for now, it remains to be seen how long the equity markets can believe in the Goldilocks scenario to continue. The previously stated resistance level of 4400-4410 is critical for today's market action. With a quarter-point rate hike later this month a given, the FOMC meetings might be becoming non-events unless the jobs and inflation numbers continue at concerning levels. Positional Trading Models: Our positional models indicate going short on a break below 4420 or 4410, with a hard stop at 4456, and a floating 45-point trailing stop. If a short is opened and stopped out, then the models will invalidate these levels and stay flat for the rest of the session. 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.

I'm still enjoying my self made vacation and taking time away from the market while I think it is overinflated, as I want to see some normality come back in before I feel comfortable trading again. However, just wanted to say hello, explain what I'm waiting for, and wish everyone else best of trading if you're still in the daily grind!

This is actually getting insane.The chart above shows the 20-month EMA of the spread between the contract in front and the second contract in front for S&P 500 futures CME_MINI:ES1! It continues to explode, and this is a bad sign. Since S&P 500 futures pricing includes the risk-free interest rate, the spread between the two contracts gives insight into the market's expectations about future interest rates. To understand why the interest rate is used in the pricing of futures contracts, one has to understand futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price on a future date. The price of a futures contract is determined by a number of factors, including the current spot price of the underlying asset and the cost of carrying the asset to maturity. The interest rate is used in the pricing of futures contracts because it represents the cost of carrying the asset to maturity for the contract seller. Since the contract seller could otherwise hold their money in a risk-free Treasury bond rather than in the S&P 500, the risk-free rate is therefore the opportunity cost to the seller, for which they must be compensated. The risk-free rate is therefore used because it represents the minimum return that must be earned in order for a rational market participant to sell an S&P 500 futures contract. Since each S&P 500 futures contract must price in the interest rate, the spread between contracts that expire sequentially indicates the market's expectation of the future direction of the interest rate. In this regard, the difference between sequential futures contracts guides the Federal Reserve's monetary policy, specifically the Fed Funds Rate, as shown in the chart below. On the flip side, the yield curve inversion is steepening by the most in over 40 years. Shown below is the difference between the 10-year U.S. Treasury and the 2-year U.S. Treasury. The ratio of the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond to the 3-month U.S. Treasury bill is even worse, as shown in the chart below. I adjusted the values by taking the square to account for periods when the 3-month Treasury bill yield went into the negative numbers What does all of this mean? It means that a U.S. recession is for sure coming, and it's likely to be stagflationary in nature. If you'd like to listen to my full thoughts, you can watch my video below. When will the recession begin? The below infographic, created by Fredric Parker, uses a probability distribution to infer that a U.S. recession is extremely likely to begin before the end of 2024. The New York Federal Reserve places the chance of a U.S. recession beginning by May 2024 at nearly 71%. This is their highest predicted chance of a recession in over 40 years -- even higher than the Dotcom Bust and the Great Recession. The amount of SP:SPX volatility that's going to occur when the yield curve attempts normalization is probably going to be off-the-charts . This is evidenced by the fact that S&P 500 volatility is sinking to cycle lows as bond volatility explodes at the highest rate of change on record. To read more about this, you can view the post below that I co-authored with @SquishTrade With that said, July tends to be bullish and markets tend to be irrational. So perhaps the bull run will continue... for now. Historically, the S&P 500 often rallies at the end of the tightening cycle, right as the market believes the rate hikes will come to an end, but before the market fully realizes the damage they've done. Meanwhile, this is all occurring while the yearly Stochastic RSI for the SP:SPX shows very strong downward momentum -- to a degree only seen during significant economic downturns. Once the recession begins, it may last a long time or it may come in the form of multiple recessions. Central banks will fight the fires with more money, worsening inflation and causing whipsaws in monetary policy. Worst of all... During periods of severe economic downturn, major political instability and geopolitical conflicts often occur. Central banks need scapegoats for their monetary policy failures.
