S&P 500 still trapped - breakout soon?S&P 500 has been trapped by several trend lines and inside a down channel since its blow off top. It still can't seem to create enough bullish momentum to break above the trend line, but not enough bearish pressure to break it down. It is sitting right on the support line of the up channel from March. As the edge of the channel approaches will that be enough to force it one way of the other? A break up can take us back near or to the ATH for a double top. A break down should signal a much more correction is close.
Excuse all of the lines.

S&P 500 trend lines & waves - What's so special about 2640???Lot's of trend lines and fib levels, so sorry for the mess. There are 4 trend lines and the current downward trend channel all intersect at 2640. I did not try to make that happen. I just started drawing them based on my waves and they just started to line up. I have no idea why or what it means. Maybe nothing, maybe something.
S&P 500 Grand Supercycle waves since 1872Another idea to not take to seriously. It was a weekend project. However, looking at such a large timeframe really puts things in to context. Note that price is on the log scale and the Fib Levels on the left are also log, but the smaller time frames are linear.
S&P 500 failed breakout and riding down trend lineShould have guessed that the morning rally in premarket was a setup. Overnight the market was down but around 8:30-10 it put in a rally. Instead of a breakout we corrected and riding down the trend line formed by the recent tops in the correction. We have been riding the correction coattails of that since. I guess the true jobs numbers and weakness of the economy are slowly sinking in and this bull rally is way up in the no support zone. Not sure what this means for the next few days. It is normal to get a retest of the ATH for a double top, but the S&P is so overextended that it may just be more down. I am still calling for a near term low around 3050 (back to June support area).
S&P 500 waves - double top 3525 and then bottom 3050???More of my wave analysis. If I had to guess, I would say we just finished Wave A and started Wave B this morning. Looks like we just complete subwave 1 of 3 towards a double top. The give away is the push to a 2.1 fib extension instead of a 1.3 or 1.4 like the last few days. We are about to see a wave 2 down to the support and then a strong push for wave 3 back to resistance (1.7 to 2.0 ext). The double top at 3525 aligns with the resistance trend line from 2009 through March peak (pink line). I then laid out the Wave A fib levels at that top of wave B. A zig zag correction can go all the way down to 1.618 fib. This is the same setup as the March drop. It also lines up with the standard minimal correction of 0.618 retrace of the wave off the March low. That takes us down to 3050. Right where it felt like this rally should have stopped in the first place.
All the waves line up. Interesting to see if it works out. If I am wrong and this rally breaks above the 2009 resistance line and holds, then get ready for some major FOMO to 4000.
Hope this helps and good luck
S&P 500 waves and trend linesSee chart for details. Not clear this morning if it is looking to break up for a wave B to test ATH or we just saw wave B and are headed for wave C. Note that a wave C over the next day or so could hit my marked target range. The target range is the 0.618 fib line. You can check back over the last 10 years or more and any large rally ends in a correction that is at least 0.618 retrace.
SPX S&P500 double top A double top is an extremely bearish technical reversal pattern that forms after an asset reaches a high price two consecutive times with a moderate decline between the two highs.
If you are interested to test some amazing buy and sell indicators, which give the signal at the beginning of the candle, not at the end of it, just leave me a message.
S&P 500 Waves - Run out of steam or one more pushS&P 500 is at a crossroads just like the NASDAQ. It has been in correction since March. Thought it might turn down at the 1.4 Fib but it has pushed to the 1.5 level. Will it turn down here or can it push to 1.6 and a new ATH? The divergence indicator it has been showing bear for over a week. Is it the end or just consolidation for a new push.
Hope this helps and good luck.
