ES1!, where we go from here...Here is an updated chart. The daily range was contracting day after day and this is typically a sign of a bigger move coming soon. It does not really matter what will spark it. Let’s start from the upside scenario and what is in favor of it. A small consolidation area is formed at the upper edge of the balance. A breakout of that small area will be a breakout of the larger balance as well, market is fractal. The price has a tendency to extend a mature balance 100% . The empty rectangle above is the projected area for the price to move and fill it. What else is in favor of the upside scenario - a notable resilience. The buyers clearly in control and buy even shallow pullbacks. Now, the downside scenario. A breakdown of the small upper balance and the trendline with a strong initiative move will lead to a retest of 2546 area first. Watch how the small consolidation area in the middle will be sliced through like it does not exist. Those are trapped buyers that will be covering their positions. The potential target is bottom edge of the balance 2520. That level could provide a nice bounce on first test. If you are an active trader that would be your cue to go long and play the bounce. After that I anticipate a consolidation at the lower edge.
Have a great weekend!

ES, latest updateThe updated chart with minor and major levels to watch applicable for day trading. The price continues to be resilient and the buyers maintain the control. The channel was broken OVN and that encouraged the sellers at the RTH opening. However, the sellers failed to take out 2561 level and the buyers stepped in ahead of the OVN low. The shorts got squeezed again and that set the day’s bias. The broken channel bottom was tested twice and provided a tradeable reaction. The market is looking for a catalyst to break the recent balance. The dovish Feds news is getting old. One thing was interesting to observe how the algos reacted during Feds chair conference. It was amazing to watch the price action. The minute he said about continuing to unload their balance sheet - a strong downside move. The price normal flow gets interrupted by such remarks. Nevertheless, the bulls reclaimed their positions after that. At this point the market is building energy at the upper edge of the recent balance. That fact is increasing odds for the upside breakout. Today’s low is important level for the bulls and losing it may shift a short term bias to the sell side.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF: SHORT BMYBMY is showing erie similarities of its last major cycle, and it appears massive downside is on the horizon. Decreasing RSI, strong support and resistance and the exact same chart pattern are more than enough to show BMY is likely headed down at least 20% over the next few months.
Sizable downside in the overall market over the next few months will likely add to the selling pressure. Price target is $32 by Q4 2019.
/ES - Overnight SwingSimilar to my SPY analysis - i was a bit shocked on Friday and did lose on my puts at the 61.8% retracement level. I am planning to scalp this overnight and will sell after /ES reaches 24% fib retracement (2771-ish range)
If it rejects off the 24% fib, I am planning to long PUTS, predicting another impulse wave down. This wave down may break /ES outside of the consolidation triangle.
Marking this neutral since it is a short scalp. I will update the chart tomorrow morning.
so close to bearish but not there yetthis market looking more and more bearish and im not saying were bout to go into bear market but there a couple thing you wanna watch. 1. look at the longer tail candle from the upside, this show major weakness from the bull and they cant push the markets higher.2 spy stop at just below a major SMA. 3 stronger volume on the down side. we also have bad pr trade war, inflation. Again im not saying we are going in bear market but bull market is over but expect a down move coming
Possible scenarios for SPXI think there are 2 possible scenario's for the SP:SPX on a bigger timeframe.
Note that this is pure speculation. Only trade after confirmation.
Scenario 1: Back to the previous bottom and then bounce back up to form a head and shoulders pattern. Break out to lower territory imminent after a H&S.
Scenario 2: A weak market will cause the resistance to break immediately. This is less likely because there are still enough buyers (especially on American markets).
I think the bull market is coming to an end with an approaching trade war and an economy that can no longer grow. This is purely fundamental, but the graphs will show us in the future if we are right or not. Remember, trade only after confirmation. The market can still go up!
SPX futures still want to go lowerSP:SPX , OANDA:SPX500USD futures are looking to go lower. Trump moved the markets yesterday with a small "relieve" rally. However, the markets couldn't hold on the gains and it became a loss. This is signaling weakness in the market. The SPX futures are now making a bear flag and will probably breakout soon to go lower. Remeber, trade after confirmation (breakout).
/ES Target I'm seeing two scenarios shaping up, we have either put in a leading diagonal Wave1 and we are retracing a wave 2 now,or the B wave of a possible ABC correction just completed with an ending diagonal. We are coming up to a critical level, the 50 and 61.8% retracement of the previous wave. We will know in the next week or two which direction this market is going. Keep in mind we have only been in a correction for around 150 days, very short considering the how long the bull run lasted.
ES_F Fibos and S/R works for effective ProjectionsES_F marked a low near the 161% retracement of the recent swing, until it holds below the pivot highs of 2750-60, which is also the recent pivot highs, there is a fair chance to test the lower range of 2705 ( previous pivot highs ) , 2655 (261% retracement levels ).
Although a prudent trade here will be to wait for a confirmation below 161% range or short in pullbacks near the resistance zones mentioned above
