PSX | Time to Short This | OverboughtPhillips 66 operates as an energy manufacturing and logistics company. It operates through four segments: Midstream, Chemicals, Refining, and Marketing and Specialties (M&S). The Midstream segment transports crude oil and other feedstocks; delivers refined petroleum products to market; provides terminaling and storage services for crude oil and refined petroleum products; transports, stores, fractionates, exports, and markets natural gas liquids; provides other fee-based processing services; and gathers, processes, transports, and markets natural gas. The Chemicals segment produces and markets ethylene and other olefin products; aromatics and styrenics products, such as benzene, cyclohexane, styrene, and polystyrene; and various specialty chemical products, including organosulfur chemicals, solvents, catalysts, and chemicals used in drilling and mining. The Refining segment refines crude oil and other feedstocks into petroleum products, such as gasolines, distillates, aviation, and renewable fuels at 12 refineries in the United States and Europe. The M&S segment purchases for resale and markets refined petroleum products, including gasolines, distillates, and aviation fuels primarily in the United States and Europe. This segment also manufactures and markets specialty products, such as base oils and lubricants. The company was founded in 1875 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas.
SPY / ES / SPX - Market Structure & PostureWeekly Engulfing Charts are clearly not a preferred look for the Buy Side and those
riding the Bullish Tilt-O-Whirl - Bodies are being flung everywhere.
The Dollar is doing its thing, it ran to our PO at 107.65 with a 107.67 print and
reversed yet again. it's been a pattern as the EuroDollar continues the ties that
bind, Dollar shortages create demand until the Dollar is dethroned.
Sell Side has lifted the CBOE P/C to (.82).
Please note after the brutal June 17th 4X - we reversed very hard the following Monday.
For Roll out the Options Curve - it's muted Frankly. Traders took their Bags, packed up, and headed
off to parts unknown.
That said... Bulls may have a chance to hold and to have... "may" - as horrific as it looks,
Wall Street may surprise with a short Countertrend to shake off the Late chasers. Again it
is "may" not will - It is, however, exactly what I would do.
There simply isn't enough Capital to transfer in the leveraged deep end of the Pool. It
seems there is another attraction elsewhere for now - unaware of any real contests outside
of the Lounge, but the lizards are somewhere, for certain.
Sentiment everywhere is pure doom, gloom, and kaboom. Understandably so after Teton
Jerry and CPI - it's been a brutal month for Buyers. Wrecked and Raked at every turn.

Here's O/I for SPY into Month End by Expiry:
SPY 9/19 Exp - Very Low Participation
SPY 9/21 Exp - Moderate Participation (FOMC) / VIX Roll/Settle Complete 4 PN EST on 9/20)
SPY 9/23 Exp - 360 Participation @ ~70K
SPY 9/26 Exp - Very Low Participation
SPY 9/28 Exp - Very Low Participation
SPY 9/30 Exp - Very High Participation @ 390 @ 102K / 385 @ 134K / 370 @ 143K / 350 @ 120K
October Monthly Expiry needs those traveling to parts unknown, requiring some time to re-engage.
It is important to note the early & largest entry for October was 372 Puts.
On to the Chart
______________________________________________________________________________
Charts are simple messy, mixed, and have the appearance of that "double bottom" in trade
and quickly... which may be why it doesn't happen.
The KEY Line in the Sand is not the Lows, it is the dip in below 3588 - that is a number
so please commit it to memory, breaking it.. assure a return to far lower lows, but
over time.
We completed Day 21 of this downside Crush from Wall Street. The Financial Media has been
abuzz about multiple contractions after spending weeks supporting "Pivot Chatter" and, surprise,
"Multiple Expansion" - remarkable anyone listens.
For "Time" we need a breather... soon. it's important to remember the ES defended the
FHWB - all-time highs to lows @ 3849.50 @ 3853.
Structurally - it looks bleak. I mean look at it... it's terrible. Longer Term, even worse - but
that is for later, for now, it's interesting... and it is quite possible we get a larger counter-trend
Squeeze developing this week. A very nasty one... quite possibly.
RSI STO supports its development near term. Best to be agile and not be caught offsides, as
fear is grinding lower - currently @ 36 as the September Vix settles on - Powell the 21st.
Jerry's arrival Wednesday with 75BPS most likely, as 100BPS I was looking for may be split to
the November FOMC as it appears to be 75BPS as well. The Ministry of Financial Truth was
out early in the week touting100 only to hear JPM quash that with "The Fed isn't going to raise
100BPS, but 75BPS".
We will see, I'm non-plussed with Forward Rates trading @ 4.5%. Yields have gone vertical... never
a good thing, not ever. Institutions apparently now consider the 1 & 2-year pristine collateral.
I had to laugh when Bloomberg touted - "Yes but the 30/90 Day are not inverted~!" Oh, Hooray
for this - perhaps it's the fact Yellen curtailed issuance to non-existent and the Market for the
very short end of the Curve... is not trading any real liquidity.
Something is going to give - but in a most unusual way. Yes, valuations will be corrected further.
Of this there is little doubt, it's how it occurs that traders seize.
Wall Street enjoys a nice lift ahead of EPS Season... with Powell stuck squarely in the middle.
______________________________________________________________________________
ES - 1 Hour Micro Range / Full Range Weekly HWBBull Flags... from the Methaqualone Pranksters.
Violent 1 PM EST News cycles continue to provide, sudden and violent drops.
Giggle took its turn with a reduction in the Rate of Change of Hiring - aka
LAYOFFS.
Expect many more to come... they will.
Wally World has its special brand of Agenda during the Summer Squeeze.
SPY Put Bagholders continue to try to "Catch the next Collapse" - only to be
squeezed on out again and again. Day 14 of this Junk Co Fraud.
ECB rate decison @ 8:15 AM EST... DX VX Ahead.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It's become a joke at this point after pointing out Tesla's financial rigging for
years... but - surprise - another total game of hiding the Gorgonzola.
Pathetic, the Inventory Parking lot... Disneyland for Fanbois.
Tesla will head into the BK dumpster, patience on the Puts as the Riggers on the
Trigger managed to unload a whopper and will again.
$320 should be the next lower Range Extension - time is all as this Toxic Swill of
a Tech Co deserves the bludgeoning it is going to receive.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We got more to come, as they say, the Hunger Games for our Break Away Class has
no shame, they want an outsized payday and they'll be damned if you interfere with
pesky Sells, it's all about the Stimmies for Corp Co's and their Grant Writers.
Corrupt to Core, but fighting it, for now, will cost you, they are hungry for "No Raegrets"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Anticipate this BS continuing into July 28th and GDP .
The BAd news is being propped heavily.
Thus we should not and cannot deny.
$PSX For the breakout tradersMarket hasn't favored the breakout stocks but PSX has continuously shown strength and finally broken out from a nice triangle consolidation pattern since 2020.
Livermore effect with 100 magnet and then some if trade plays out. Nice volume uptick past weeks and RSI bullish confluence
I'm long JUN 100 calls , stop at 50% premium.

ES - Daily Structure / Count with LevelsEPS Season has been in line with our Projections for Q4, dismal would be Kind.

Money Center Banks began reporting and were Sold.
Retail Sales missed by a large margin.
ES closed flat Friday.
10 Year rose 8 basis points Friday. The BOE's 10 Yr and The Mid Bund rose 4 basis
points as well.
We are approaching the next FOMC on January 25/26th.
FOMC Voting Members have become increasingly critical of Powell, suggesting the
Federal Reserve is well behind the Curve in raising FED Funds and going so far as to
suggest it may be necessary to increase the Dot Plot to 4 to 7 increases for 2022.
Clarida departs next week.
_____________________________________________________________________
Oil was up 2.7% Friday.
Friday's Price action was one of indecision.
Investors are not gaining confidence, they see FED FUNDS increases as a potential
threat to Forward EPS.
There has been an aggressive move down from All-Time Highs.
______________________________________________________________________
The Chart Structure is quite Clear, the only reservation is one of "B" and its potential
for a retracement.
The Value Line Index has diverged from the S&P500, this has historically been an important
warning for further follow on the downside.
Fear and Confidence have been shaken, the FED is no longer (Short Trem) able to gain
the upper hand and turning on Policy... only compounds the Issues.
Over the past 22 months, every Dip has been a buying opportunity. Of late this has not
worked out.
Lower Highers on VX with Higher Lows, it is wedging into a Break, a rather Large Break.
_______________________________________________________________________
Many of the younger YouTubers and "Analyst" have been suing Short Term Technical Analysis
to justify and unwarranted Bias.
Peleton Pumper - "Meet Kevin" saw his #1 Tout lose 80% of its Price.
Everyone is a genius in a Bull Market.

S&P Market BReadth is trending lower as the 711s have been the Go To trade.
There are a number of Divergences, all very Negative.
Retail will attempt to buy the 200 SMA Test.
It resides @ 4420, it aligns nicely with .618 Calc @ 4426.
As this develops, we will see IF Structure 4/5 completes 1/5 and how 2/5's ABC
Replacement unfolds.
__________________________________________________________________________
We would anticipate this to drag on into March into the completion of 4/5 after the 1-5 ABC.
We see a Gap on the ES @ 401 being filled within this correction as a higher than usual Potential.
ES - 4 Hour / An Extreme Range for Q1 2022This is the one Chart that provides the clear and very present Dangers
ahead for Q1.
We know Q4 was unwell for EPS.
China was shut in the Majority of the Quarter and became increasingly
bellicose to its Trade Partners.
_______________________________________________________________
With 356 of 505 ES components in the Dumpster Fire which continues to
be stoked with Geopolitical Risks and endless Vectors which provide concern
in spades...
The 711s continue to be the Prop - 28% of the ES weightings in the top 6.
Underlying Equities have been wrecked already, which has proceeded every
"Crash" prior... for Follow on Year, the magical month of December.
We are not anticipating a traditional "Crash" but it will feel like it for the Endless
Bulls / Dipper / Chippers / Meme Degens / Klepto Passive INV ETFs.
________________________________________________________________
Breadth must expand or it's more Gasoline on the Dumpster Fire.
The range above shod is of concern.
ES - 15 MIN / 3 Trendlines - VX CompressionMoving up on declining volumes again, each successive squeeze
finding less participation.
Yesterday's open find a swarm of Put buyers @ the CBOE. They
became fuel for the Squeeze.

They attempted Revenge the remainder of the Day using Futures...
And remained fuel.
2X the beating.
________________________________________________________
Micro / Daily / Weekly Trendlines extends from ~ 4813 to well over 5000
depending on the Slope.
Viewing the 4813 as a ceiling, in all probability is unwise as the anticipated
squeeze to overthrow, is a favored tool.
What should have been a mild day, of ranging and consolidation into ALGO
Tuesday.... arrived on Monday.
The AI continues to mix it up into the Close of 2021.
Run and Gun into Friday where final squaring may provide some relief from
the relentless GRIND HIGHER.

Where and when this begins matters, but Trend Lines have provided
the Rejection for months on end.
Lower High means Lower Low
Higher High... 4 never began.

ES - 1Hr Structure / POsOne by one each PO is being met.
Indications on ST TFs were deeply oversold.

another point in time under precise conditions.
We warned caution, wider ranges, and danger for
SElLERs and have remained 100% Cash as the entries

Price is all within the VIX - how far this can move up.
