Spike Trade ExampleThis morning on the jobs report the S&P 500 futures spike in the premarket to a new All Time High but quickly shot back down. This triggers my indicator and an alert withing Tradingview to come check the price action and yields a potential trading opportunity.
The risk is defined by the + at the top of the spike. Fundamentally, if the market makes a new ATH the trade is wrong and should be exited.
If this volatility spike reveals a top then the trade should hold and the lower + represents a 3-to-1 reward-to-risk target from the entry on a pullback to the red median line. These + indicators are tools for defining the risk and reward of the trading opportunity.
Technical Analysis would give potential Retracement Levels. The first Retracement Level at 4505 happens to yield the desired 3-to-1 target as indicated. The longer term Retracement Level at 4450 could be a more ambitious target for more reward or to allow a partial position to continue after reaching the first target.

SPY - Short to $320Need to resolve On-Balance Volume Price Action divergence before gambling countertrend buys. We did see the breaks get pumped hard around $330, but that was also a major support. Volatily is high. Every day we inch closer to election, more investors grow weary about further losses to their accounts. Low is not in yet.
SP500 path and directionHello everyone
Sp500 started a uptrend channel in April however in SEP we broke this uptrend channel but
SP500 found support on the blue trend line and price went back to test the previous Uptrend channel
Price respected the uptrend channel resulting a doji candle that means the previous channel is acting as resistance now
Or price could get back into the channel
Or we could chop in this zone between blue trend line and previous uptrend channel
However any close below this blue trend line we are heading to demand zone below and also to test the purple broken downtrend line
feel free to ask me anything :) and good luck
Note :I see a inverted head and shoulder so far

ES - Expected Price ActionThis is what i am expecting to see. This is the daily chart and i think this can go up to end of September. However, if it doesn't work until mid Sept, then we need to update the trend.
My ES target is $2500 but it's up to economy and covid.

Narrow range daySPY closed up 0.7% yesterday.
With most of the gains from gap open.
Yesterday was a narrow range day (NR7).

Coming week can bring turbulence. ExplainedComing week can bring turbulence to markets. Special attention has to be paid to the SP500. The technical analysis is still neutral. We got rejection last week, but it happened with a low volume. It can’t be considered a valid swing failure. If 3170 – 3140 holds, we can see a retest of 3400 and possible double top formation. However, fewer stocks support this rally. We have seen the same scenario before each sharp decline. So, keep that in mind if you long the stock market.
The Federal Reserve meeting is scheduled for the coming week. But likely we will not hear something new. Implementing negative rates looks doubtful. So, the dovish tone is all I expect from the Fed.
Extra jobless benefits disappear at the end of the month. Currently, 20 million Americans get an extra $600 a week. If there will be no fast extension of this payment, the income of the average unemployed person can fall to $200 a week. That will make people spend less. Less spending means less income for the retail business. Some of them will have to close. We have already discussed a big number of bankruptcies and their impact on the economy and the stock market. The situation looks dramatic.
The second-quarter U.S. GDP is another important data all traders are waiting for. Atlanta Fed forecasts almost 53% decline. Those numbers can shock the market and cause high volatility. Such expectation is a result of rapid COVID spread in the USA. The situation in the EU is more positive with a 12% GDP decline expected.
