S&P 500 3M AnalysisHey Traders, Trendline based on two major monthly (yearly) pivots.
I think there is a high probability of second FTR retest.
Indexanalysis
Key Levels and US Market Review for the Asian session open 31/03Major Indexes continue to move higher with the US supported by tech stocks into the notoriously bullish end of month/quarter 'window dressing'. We have some key economic data out ahead of the US open which will give a further indication on inflation and what we could look forward to from the coming FOMC. Share markets have been strong although the Bond markets continue to point to sticky inflation as bond yields press higher. I expect that the major Indexes will hold onto gains into the weekend and then see a selloff early next week but much will depend on the US data release.
Asian markets are expected to open higher with the ASX set to open up 40pts while both the Hang Seng and Nikkei are expected to open up 200pts and continue with recent strength.
'I remain of the view that sticky inflation is the big issue but it remains a balancing act for the Fed as they potentially come to the end of a rate rise cycle. The Fed will need to see hard evidence that inflation is coming under control first'.
A review of the price action from the European session and the US session where I look at some key levels to watch and the price action setups I expect to see play out on the major markets below.

* BOUNCE WATCH . It's volatile week with investors preparing for another FFR hike (12/14) that is widely expected to be 50bps (with a chance at 75bps) as China continues to formally lax their Covid-Zero restrictions in major cities like Beijing where people with a negative PCR test result are now allowed to congregate in certain public places . This has investors torn over a China reopening rally and more flight from Risk-On assets to DXY and US Treasurys with further FFR hikes. Russia continues to bombard Ukrainian energy infrastructure as Russia prepares to ban the sale of Russian oil to buyers participating in the new $60 price cap imposed by the G7 yesterday . In the coming years it would be reasonable to expect more of a push toward renewables like Solar energy in response to the geopolitical factors that are causing oil prices to be unsustainably volatile.
VIX, Metals, Agriculture, NI225, GBPUSD, EURUSD and JPYUSD are up. DXY, US Treasurys, US Equities, US Equity Futures, Cryptos (mixed), Energy, CNYUSD and N100 are down.
Key Upcoming Dates: US November PPI 830am EST 12/09; US November CPI 830am EST 12/13; Last FOMC Rate Hike Announcement of 2022 at 2pm EST 12/14; US November New Residential Construction at 830am EST 12/20; US Final Q3 GDP Estimate at 830am EST 12/22; US November PCE Index at 830am EST 12/23; UofM Consumer Sentiment Index at 10am EST 12/23 .*
Price is currently trending down at $3954 as it approaches a $3913 minor support after being rejected by the 200MA (~$4058 minor resistance). Volume is currently Low (moderate) and on track to favor sellers for a second consecutive session if it closes today's session in the red. The VP Point of Control is at $3913 minor support. Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $4102, this margin is mildly bullish at the moment. RSI is currently trending down at 50 as it tests 52.68 support, the next support is the uptrend line from January 2022 at ~46. Stochastic remains bearish and is currently trending down at 28, the next support is at 17. MACD crossed over bearish in today's session and is currently trending down at 48 as it risks losing 55.35 minor support if it breaks down further. ADX is currently trending down at 18.53 as Price is also trending down, this is neutral at the moment.
If Price is able to bounce here then it will likely retest the 200MA at ~$4040 as resistance before potentially retesting $4058 minor resistance . However, if Price continues to break down here, it will likely retest $3913 minor support . Mental Stop Loss: (one close above) $4040 .
US30USD: Losing MOMENTUM after the CHANNEL'S BREAKOUTHello, everybody and welcome to Cybernetics Trading Lab, today we are going to analyse the US30, translating the market information by using a full technical analysis on different time frames, giving you a personal opinion about the next most likely market movement and helping you to spot and manage market opportunities.
Top Down Technical Analysis:
The market as been following a huge descending channel since a while, and just recently we could see a breakout to the upside.
Considering the potential double top (which it hasn’t reached yet) and the correctively way it’s actually moving, there is a possibility that the breakout will fail and the price could come back inside the main structure.
When, where and why would we step into the market?
The price, in LTF is still moving to the upside, and we would wait the breakout of the double top, studying the price action in that specific zone.
In the scenario of reversal impulse following by a breakout of the LTF rising wedge, we would definitely be looking for a short term short trade, following the potential momentum reversal.
Don’t forget that overall the impulse is still rising up, and the market after the current breakout, could just spend more time above the resistance marked on the chart, forming a bigger structure for further bullish movement.
Always study the price action, react on it without trying to chase the move!

* MINOR SUPPORT WATCH . US Midterm elections are underway and the polls are getting ready to close soon, Republicans are expected to control both the House and Senate when the results come in. DXY, US Long-Term Treasuries, CNYUSD, Metals, Agriculture and Cryptos are all down. While Equities, Equity Futures, JPYUSD, GBPUSD, EURUSD, VIX and Energy all finished higher on the day. In a calamitous day that sent shockwaves through the entire Crypto industry, FTX experienced a liquidity crunch due to investors fleeing their exchange token FTT en masse after reports surfaced on 11/06 of Alameda Research (partner crypto trading firm) possibly not being as solvent as people thought. This inspired Binance to one-up their initial investment in FTX (that they exited last year) by acquiring all of FTX (excluding FTX.US) in a strategic transaction to provide liquidity to the struggling exchange . FTX CEO and Co-Founder Sam Bankman Fried was ranked the 95th wealthiest person in the world just yesterday with a $15.6b estimated net worth; now, after the biggest one-day collapse (94%) ever among billionaires tracked by Bloomberg, his net worth is estimated to be $1b. This event sent almost all Cryptos down 20%+ as investors feared what kind of ripple effects such a big player (FTX) going down in the industry would have on the broader market.
Equities and Cryptos showed another case of decoupling with Equities finishing higher for a fourth consecutive session on the expected Red Sweep in Congress, the CPI print on Thursday will be telling in how far this rally in Equities has to go. Today, Xi Jinping inspected the joint operations command center of the Central Military Commission as part of an effort to enhance combat preparedness, he was even quoted as saying that "the entire military should devote all its energy to, and carry out all its work for, combat readiness" to "enhance its capability to fight and win and effectively fulfill its missions and tasks in the new era". It's become quite clear that China will likely invade Taiwan later this year or in 2023 with Taiwan continuing to make independent decisions like investing $10m in chip production in Lithuania as well as "colluding with external forces" (meeting with world leaders that recognize Taiwan as a sovereign state). The US has information regarding North Korea supplying Russia with weapons , North Korea is one of the few countries in the world to openly recognize Russia's proclaimed territories in Ukraine.

Price is currently testing $110 minor support for the third consecutive session and risks losing support of the 50MA if it breaks below $110. Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $113.05, this margin is mildly bullish at the moment. RSI is currently trending sideways at 41 and is technically retesting 39.43 support for the second consecutive session. Stochastic is currently bearish and is beginning to form a trough at 15, the next support is at 9. MACD remains bearish and is currently trending down at -0.30 as it approaches a test of -0.38 support for the first time since April 2021. ADX has been forming a soft trough at 14 for three consecutive sessions as Price struggles to find buying momentum, this is neutral at the moment but if ADX starts to go up as Price goes down this would be mildly bearish.
If Price is able to bounce here and defend $110 support then it will likely retest the 50MA as resistance at ~$111.25 . However, if Price continues to breakdown here, it will lose $110 support and likely retest $108 support . Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $110.03.

* The Fed stayed on their path of moving to restrictive monetary policy and raised the funds rate by 75bps to 3.75%-4% . DXY, US Treasuries and Agriculture are up while Cryptos, Equities, Equity Futures, Metals, Energy, CNYUSD, JPYUSD, GBPUSD and EURUSD are all down. Fed Chair Powell mentioned that more rate hikes are to come but that they would likely consider slowing the rate of increases in the coming meetings. FFR speculators are currently betting on a 50bps rate hike on 12/14/22 but economic data between now and then may force the Fed to contemplate another 75bps. In timely fashion, Russia resumed its arrangement with Ukraine to allow them to use Black Sea shipping corridors for grain and fertilizer shipments but Putin mentioned that they can withdraw again if Ukraine "breaches the deal" by striking Russia in these corridors. Putin also mentioned that in this situation, Russia would supply the poorest countries with grain from their own stock; he also stated that Russia would stop short of blocking Ukraine grain shipments to Turkey. In Israel, right-wing former PM Netanyahu is expected to be reelected as PM in the coming days. Speculators see this as as a positive counter to Iran's recent support for Russia and revival of their nuclear missile program but a negative for Palestinian peace talks . Key Upcoming Dates: October Employment Situation at 830am (EST) 11/04; US October CPI at 830am EST 11/10; UofM November Consumer Sentiment Survey at 10am EST 11/11; 2nd Estimate of US Q3 GDP at 830am (EST) 11/30.*
Price is currently testing the lower trendline of the descending channel from August 2021 as support at ~$3780 after getting rejected by $3938 minor resistance and breaking back down below the 50MA (~$3825). Volume remains High (low) and has favored sellers the past three consecutive sessions; Price was rejected by the POC (VP) at around $3938 minor resistance. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $3688, this margin is mildly bearish at the moment. RSI is currently trending down at 48.5 and is at risk of losing 52.68 support if it doesn't bounce soon, the next support is the uptrend line from January 2022 at ~43 as support.

MACD remains bullish and is currently trending down at 15.5 as it continues to technically test 10.73 minor resistance. ADX is currently trending down at 20 as Price attempts to keep pushing higher, this is mildly bearish at the moment.
If Price is able to bounce here then it will have to reclaim support of the 50MA at ~$3825 before it is able to formally retest $3938 minor resistance . However, if Price breaks down here, it will likely retest $3658 minor support . Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $3825.

* FOMC WATCH . DXY, VIX and Agriculture are down while Cryptos, Equity Futures, US Treasuries, CNYUSD, JPYUSD, GBPUSD, EURUSD, Metals, Oil and Energy are up. White House Economic Advisor Bernstein said today that "President Biden has endorsed the Fed's policy pivot", which many readers interpreted as a sign of 75bps and a Fed pivot tomorrow; turns out he was referring to the hawkish pivot already being made this year. Interesting word choice with the FOMC rate hike announcement tomorrow and US Midterms on 11/08/22. The US Pentagon has confirmed that there are US military personnel currently in Ukraine conducting security detail at the embassy and providing logistical support for Ukrainian soldiers , but that none are on the frontlines. However, it's rumored that there's a large presence of clandestine CIA and US special forces that have been operating in Ukraine since the Russian invasion in February . The second GDPNow US Q4 GDP estimate is 2.6% , down from 3.1% on 10/28. Key Upcoming Dates: FOMC Statement at 2pm EST 11/02; October Employment Situation at 830am (EST) 11/04; 2nd Estimate of US Q3 GDP at 830am (EST) 11/30.*

* 50MA RESISTANCE TEST. Both PCE price index and Core (without food and energy) for September saw the same increase from the August report , with PCE increasing 0.3% from August and Core increasing 0.5%. Though some may see this as plateauing, it's a bit premature and doesn't negate the fact that PCE is still increasing. Federal funds rate traders are still betting on a 75bps rate hike next Tuesday. The first GDPNow US Q4 GDP estimate is 3.1% ; the last Q3 GDP estimate was 2.6%. DXY, US Treasuries, Cryptos, Equities, Equity Futures and GBPUSD are up while Commodities, CNYUSD, JPYUSD, EURUSD and VIX are down.

RSI is currently trending up slightly at 46 as it approaches a test of the uptrend line from July 2020 as resistance at ~47, if it's able to break above then it will likely test 49.10 minor resistance. Stochastic crossed over bullish in today's session after bouncing off of 9 support, the next resistance is at 24. MACD remains bearish and is beginning to show signs of trough formation as it tests -0.065 support. ADX is currently trending down slightly at 15 as Price continues to fall, this is mildly bullish at the moment; if ADX doesn't form a trough and Price keeps falling, this would imply that the bull run isn't over.
If Price is able to breakout above the 50MA at ~$111 as resistance then it will likely retest the 1-month high of $113.95 as resistance . However, if Price continues to trend down here, it will likely retest $110 minor support . Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $111.

* BOUNCE WATCH . DXY, US Treasuries and VIX are down while EURUSD, GBPUSD, JPYUSD, CNYUSD, Cryptos, Equities, Equity Futures and Commodities are up. US October Consumer Confidence dropped to 102.5 from 107.8 in September as consumers are beginning to expect economic decline in the short to medium term. Russia told the UN today about their fear of a Ukrainian 'dirty bomb' ploy to accuse Russia of using tactical nuclear warfare . This type of strategy was most recently used in the Crimea bridge explosion incident which Russia was quick to pin on Ukraine, it's based on a kind of Red Herring fallacy in relevance called Circumstantial Ad Hominem where one arguer claims that the other's personal situation or perceived benefit from advancing a conclusion means that it's the wrong conclusion.

*DXY, 10 Year US Treasury Bonds and VIX are taking a hit as JPYUSD, GBPUSD, EURUSD, 30 Year US Treasury Bonds, Cryptos, Equities, Equity Futures and Commodities are all up. This is after speculation that Japan's government had intervened in currency markets by selling USD for JPY in order to protect a key JPYUSD threshold . Additionally, San Francisco Fed President Daly (currently not FOMC member) commented that the Fed should reevaluate how restrictive they need to be and that 75bp increments after November may be unnecessary . This combination is likely responsible for today's shift in market sentiment toward more Risk-On. St. Louis Fed President Bullard (FOMC member) quickly clapped back today and said that the Fed can keep raising rates until they see inflation come down meaningfully because the job market is "extremely strong" . Comments like Bullard's leave the possibility of 100bps on November 2nd still on the table. The 7th and penultimate Beige Book of 2022 released on 10/19 highlighted : a tightening job market with wage growth still intact, a slowing housing market, a continued weakening demand for production and an increase in travel/tourism from the post-Covid reopening.

* China delayed publishing key economic data including retail sales, industrial production, home prices and Q3 GDP amidst Incumbent President Xi Jin Ping's expected reelection for a third term . Chinese officials say it's because of the ongoing National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, but at the last Congress in 2017 the data was released promptly. This begs the question of how much of the delays are due to hopes of a swift economic recovery from their prolonged Covid lockdowns (and heat waves) being halted by sanctions and supply chain disruptions.

* On Saturday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry urged Chinese citizens still living and working in Ukraine to evacuate as soon as possible . In what Russia claims to a be a response to "acts of terrorism" on Russian people after the Crimean bridge bombing, Russia has now switched to include civilian buildings as attack targets after previously only targeting military property. Russia continues to position itself in ways that it can respond to "acts of terrorism", whether they use nuclear/chemical weapons to do so is now the question. Equity Futures are currently up while DXY and US Treasuries are down which means the week could potentially start with a bounce.

If Price is able to bounce here and get back above the weak descending trendline from July 2021 at ~$3620 (as resistance) then it will have to close above $3658 minor resistance a couple of times before retesting the lower trendline of the descending channel from August 2021 at ~$3780 as resistance . However, if Price continues to trend down here, it will likely retest $3517 minor support and potentially lower to $3383 support . Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $3658.
S&P500 For the first time since the COVID sell off the SP:SPX closed the WEEK below the 200 SMA at 3583 points, for the previous three weeks the index was trying to test the support of the 200 SMA but after the heavy selling pressure in the other indexes TVC:DJI NASDAQ:IXIC and NASDAQ:NDX .
SP:SPX has broken the support to the downside and most of the stocks are closing at the lowest prices after breaking most of the medium and long-term supports. on the other hand, the indicators are confirming the same view as the RSI is below its moving average at 36 level, also the stochastic is still giving sell and weakness signals.
A small rebound is expected as a correction in the very short term closing the long positions, and opening short positions are recommended.

Fears of nuclear war being exacerbated by resolute threats from Putin and desperate social media pleas by people like Elon Musk are pushing investors toward DXY and US Treasury notes and bonds and away from Risk-On assets. The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) ordered $300m worth of Nplate (a radiation sickness drug) as part of an ongoing long term defense plan against the threat of nuclear warfare . It's hard not to think that the timing of acquiring this medication vs chemical, biological or infectious disease medication isn't coincidental; but the HHS said it was just a routine purchase as part of a longer term plan. In the short to medium term it's reasonable to expect more supply chain disruptions as a result of Russia's war with Ukraine worsening rather than improving. OPEC+ cutting oil production heading into the European winter is another factor that contributes to the seemingly inevitable decline into a global recession.

Price is currently trending down at ~$3615 and is still technically testing both $3658 minor support + the minor descending trendline from July 2021 at ~$3635 as support, if it breaks below then the next support (minor) is at $3617. Volume is currently Moderate (high) and on track to favor sellers for a third consecutive session if it can close today's session in the red. Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $3805, this margin is mildly bullish at the moment. RSI is currently trending down slightly at 36 and is still technically testing 38 support, if it loses this level then the next support is at the uptrend line from August 2015 at ~32. Stochastic is currently bearish for the second consecutive session and is trending down at 63 as it approaches 48 support. MACD remains bullish and is currently trending down at -85 after being rejected at the uptrend line from March 2020 as resistance at ~-83; if it breaks below -87 it would be a bearish crossover. ADX is currently trending up slightly at 28 as Price is falling, this is bearish at the moment.
If Price is able to bounce here at the minor descending trendline from July 2021 (~$3635) then it will have to close above $3658 minor support if it's going to retest the lower trendline of the descending channel from August 2021 at ~$3800 as resistance . However, if Price continues to breakdown here, it will likely test $3517 minor support for the first time since November 2020. Mental Stop Loss: (two consecutive closes above) $3658.

The 17th GDPNow US Q3 GDP estimate came in at 2.9% today compared to 2.7% on 10/05 . Cleveland Fed President Mester tried to warn us of rising Unemployment yesterday and it came down today instead, maybe the Federal Reserve is hiring thousands of nonfarm workers to get together and figure out how to bring down inflation. NY Fed President Williams said today that he envisions another aggressive rate hike in November (likely 75bps) and that he too sees a slowdown in job markets in 2023 accompanied by higher interest rates and lower inflation . In response to the oil production cut by OPEC+, The White House Admin tapped into the SPR yet again, bringing its total emergency oil reserves down to the lowest they've been in forty years . With midterm elections coming up in the USA, it's hard not to see this move by the White House as politically motivated.

*DXY, US 10 Year Treasury Bonds and VIX are down while Equities, Cryptos, Commodities, Futures, GBPUSD, EURUSD and 30 Year Treasury Bonds are all up. With expectations of a federal funds rate above 4% in 2023 it's starting to get to that time where investors ask themselves when the continued rates hikes and impending Fed-forced recession will be priced in. Macroeconomic factors aside, geopolitical uncertainties mainly involving Russia and China pose adverse risks in the near-term to medium-term.

* S&P September US PMI came in at 52 compared to 51.5 and beating the consensus estimate of 51.8. Though marginal, September PMI increasing as DXY continues to go up and inflation remains high implies that the demand outlook improved slightly since August, which is odd considering that many central banks continue to raise key interest rates around the world. The best explanation thus far is that reopening effects are still at play. Rumors of a Russian nuclear weapons convoy and the world's largest submarine with nuclear weapon capabilities being on the move broke earlier today .

* US September PCE price index increased 0.3% from August, and Core PCE increased by 0.6% . DXY, US Treasuries, Gold, Agriculture, GBPUSD and Cryptos are up while VIX, Equities, Equity Futures, EURUSD and Energy are down. In Vladimir Putin's speech today he announced the 'formal' annexation of four regions in Ukraine , many believe this is to allow Russia to use chemical or nuclear weapons as part of Putin's promise to "... defend our land with all the powers and means at our disposal”. Putin also continued painting the narrative of the West as Satanic dictators in hopes of bolstering that perspective amongst Russia's people and allies; he also placed direct blame on the West for sabotaging the Nordstream Pipeline earlier this week. In Putin's words about the liberties and freedoms people have in the West, one can hear the Russian Orthodox directorship of Moscow's Patriarch Kirill who recently claimed that the Russian war dead have had their sins forgiven. One thing that Putin mentioned that is agreeable is that the USA is the only country to have used nuclear weapons on another country, whether Putin's Russia is the second, only time will tell. Short story long, Putin appears to be building up the necessary ingredients to officially start World War 3.

* BOUNCE WATCH . Chicago Fed President Charles Evans mentioned yesterday that FFR will likely top out around March of 2023 . DXY, US Treasuries and VIX are finally down today while Equities, Futures, Commodities, Cryptos, EURUSD and GBPUSD are all up. I think it's safe to say that this price action is in large part a technical correction due to DXY being a bit overbought.
