S&P 500, 8/11/23For Friday, 4543.25 can contain session strength, below which 4448.50 remains a 3 - 5 day target able to contain selling through September activity, once tested 4701.25 long-term resistance attainable over that time horizon.
A daily settlement below 4448.50 indicates a good high through September trade, 4112.00 then expected over the following 3 - 5 weeks, where the market can bottom out through the balance of the year.
Upside Friday, pushing/opening above 4543.25 allows 4573.00 intraday, while closing today above 4543.25 reverses momentum through next week, 4617.25 then expected within several days, 4701.25 longer-term resistance within 1 - 2 weeks.

S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for THU. 08/10S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for THU. 08/10
With the Fed and Interest Rates not burning issues anymore (at least for now), with major earnings mostly in the rear view mirror, markets are struggling to find a direction and a relevant factor to latch onto. Currently, there doesn't appear to be any specific factor driving the markets in any direction, leading to listless markets. Our models continue to indicate choppy markets until this resolves in either direction, notwithstanding this morning's push up following the rising-not-so-fast inflation numbers.
The level of 4495-4505 is now the immediate key level for both Support and Resistance. 4525-4535 is the resistance level, a daily close above which will turn our models cautiously bullish.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4492, 4502, 4516, or 4525 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4520, 4513, 4486, or 4472 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4497, and explicit short exits on a break above 4477. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:31am 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.
Positional Trading Plans:
We are decommissioning our Positional Trading plans today, in order to launch them in a separate mode down the road.

S&P 500, 8/10/23For Thursday, 4537.75 can contain session strength, below which 4442.25 remains a 3 - 5 day target able to contain selling through September activity, once tested 4701.25 long-term resistance attainable over that time horizon.

Markets Searching for a Direction - Day 2S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for WED. 08/09
With the Fed and Interest Rates not burning issues anymore (at least for now), with major earnings mostly in the rear view mirror, markets are struggling to find a direction and a relevant factor to latch onto. Currently, there doesn't appear to be any specific factor driving the markets in any direction, leading to listless markets. Our models continue to indicate choppy markets until this resolves in either direction.
The level of 4480-4490 is now the main support level, with 4500 the immediate key level for both Support and Resistance.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate the same trading plans as yesterday: i.e., going long on a break above 4486, 4491, 4502, 4507 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4475, 4483, or 4497 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4505, and explicit short exits on a break above 4465. 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).

Positional Trading Plans:
For today, positional models indicate staying flat.
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.

S&P500 INDEX (US500): Bearish Pattern & Pullback
S&P500 Index formed a head and shoulders pattern on a daily time frame,
trading in a bullish trend.
The breakout of the neckline of the pattern signifies the local exhaustion of the
buyers and highly probable coming correctional movement.
I expect a bearish movement at least to 4465
❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
S&P 500, 8/8/23For Tuesday, 4553.75 can contain session strength, 4526.75 in close reach and able to contain session weakness.
Breaking/opening below 4526.75 signals 4493.75 intraday, while closing today below 4526.75 will keep 4429.50 support in reach by the end of next week, where the market can bottom out through September activity, once tested 4701.25 long-term resistance attainable over that time horizon.
A daily settlement below 4429.50 indicates a good high through September trade, 4103.00 then expected over the following 3 - 5 weeks, where the market can bottom out through the balance of the year.
Upside Tuesday, pushing/opening above 4553.75 signals 4578.75 intraday, while closing above 4553.75 reverses momentum through the balance of the week and into later August, 4617.25 than expected within several days, 4701.25 longer-term resistance within 1 - 2 weeks.
S&P500 Still bearish unless the 4H MA50 breaks.The S&P500 index (SPX) is within a corrective wave in the form of a Channel Down, which may have found a Support on the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) but as long as it trades below the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line), it remains bearish. As a result our target is 4430 on a potential contact with the 1D MA50 (red trend-line).
If however it closes a 4H candle above the 4H MA50, we will buy instead and target 4600 (just below Resistance 1). The 4H RSI Higher Lows (which is a bullish divergence in contrast to the Lower Lows of the Channel Down), favor this scenario.

Trading Plans for FRI. 08/04 - The Precarious Rally Continues...S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for FRI. 08/04
As we published in our earlier trading plans: "The question on everybody's mind - whether they are a bull or a bear or a bystander - is: "How long can this rally continue?". And, nobody knows - or, can know - the answer, of course. But, as long as there are doubters, the rally will still have some steam left in it - mostly feeding on short squeezes".
As we published in the wake of the US debt downgrade: "There is a potential for sudden spikes up to squeeze the shorts in the near term. Might be risky to stay short while the index is above 4500", the 4500 support level has held and the index survived any potential downfall from the US debt downgrade. At least, for now.
The level of 4545-4550 is now the main resistance level, with 4500 the immediate support.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4550, 4532, 4520, 4506, or 4491 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4545, 4528, 4516, 4502, or 4487 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4537, and explicit short exits on a break above 4537 (same level). Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 01:01pm 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.
Positional Trading Plans:
Our positional models carried a short overnight, with an entry of 4509.90 and a short exit at 4516 (or, the equivalent in ES futures after hours). The short exit level was hit overnight closing the short at a deemed level of 4516 for a loss of 6.10 index points.
For today, positional models indicate staying flat.
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.

Look at the futures market open post NFP Miss. A short look across major futures markets after we have an NFP Miss
S&P 500, 8/4/23For Friday, 4553.75 can contain intraday strength, 4515.75 in reach again intraday and able to contain selling through next week, above which 4685.75 longer-term resistance remains in reach over the next 2- 3 weeks. Closing today below 4515.75 signals 4424.50 by the end of next week, where the market can bottom out through August activity and a meaningful downside continuation point over the same time horizon. Upside Friday, pushing/opening above 4553.75 allows 4617.25, able to contain daily buying pressures and the level to settle above for then indicating 4665.25 on Monday, now considered the start of a wide zone of midterm resistance up to 4685.75 able to contain buying into September activity and a significant upside continuation region into later year.
The Precarious Rally Might be Stalling? Day 2S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for THU. 08/03
As we published in our earlier trading plans: "The question on everybody's mind - whether they are a bull or a bear or a bystander - is: "How long can this rally continue?". And, nobody knows - or, can know - the answer, of course. But, as long as there are doubters, the rally will still have some steam left in it - mostly feeding on short squeezes".
Earnings notwithstanding, the U.S. downgrade by the ratings agencies could have the potential to stall the bull. But, the bears should be cautious about jumping the gun, yet. There is a potential for sudden spikes up to squeeze the shorts in the near term. Might be risky to stay short while the index is above 4500.
The level of 4545-4550 is now the main resistance level, with 4500 the immediate support.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4550, 4520, 4506, or 4491 with an 8-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4545, 4527, 4516, 4502, or 4487 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4537, and explicit short exits on a break above 4537 (same level). Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 12:16pm 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.
Positional Trading Plans:
Following our published trading plans yesterday, our positional models went short on a break below 4515 (at 3:09pm, at a short entry of 4514.93) with a 16-point trailing stop and carried the short overnight with the 16-point trailing stop effective (see the overnight exposure explanation below for positional trading plans).
The short made a low at 3:55am, survived the stop till 5:10am (based on the price action in the futures markets) where it was hit, closing the position at 4526.25, for a loss of 11.32 index points.
For today, positional models indicate going short on a break below 4520 or 4510, with a hard stop at 4527 and an explicit short exit on a break above 4516.
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.
