#ES_F Day Trading Prep for Week 8.20-8.25Levels to Watch :
Resistance - Current 4392.25-86.75 // Key for Continuation 4405.25-4398
4422-18.75 // 4434.75-28.50 // 4445-37.75
Support - Current and for continuation lower 4367.25-59.50
4349.50 // 4327-21.50 ? Not Tested.
Key HTF Support 4291.50-65.50
I wouldn't say 4378.50-74.75 is currently Support unless Globex can Hold over.
Last Week :
Beginning of the week market opened and held Current Support which gave a push back inside our Key Resistance area with a what could seem like a strong end of day push/close. To me it seemed like an end of day stop run to sell into, our theme has been sell what we can at lower prices while buyers are there then once buyers run out we move lower trapping new buyers above. Another red flag was that we didn't fully take out that 4502-09 area.
Tuesday Globex made a push out of Key Resistance, went sideways and failed which is what started our next move towards lower targets. We hit both of the big targets lower in one week, can see that closer to our bigger Support areas we were getting the more consolidation we needed to continue but we made it there.
4374-62-49 was our Key Support area on Friday and we needed to hold under for any continuation, this was also a big target where shorts would be taking profit and covering.. especially into the weekend, as well a Support everyone had their eyes on for possible bounce they have bene waiting for while its coming down? Support held and surprise we again got a stop run end of day back towards our Resistance for the day at 4392.
This Week :
This week might be a bit tricky, we had some good selling going down towards our lower targets but we are now getting closer to our bigger Support areas and there is starting to be more congestion around here. It doesn't look like there is enough strong buying here to just give us a bounce or a big reversal yet. We are still under the Supply and have been trapping more on the way down so this could take some time to clean up and or a another flush towards bigger Support where we could find a bigger bid that can give us a stronger move up or at least better hold to start bigger consolidation.
Currently our inventory is in this 4392-4362 range and we are looking to see where it could move, most of the inventory is built up over 4375 because we didn't spend as much time under it Friday. We have 4392-4403 as our Key Resistance and we would want to see market be able to push over it and look strong over it before we can start thinking of bigger reversal to head for higher stops, if we can't then that means continued weakness for now. If we do hold over 74 area and get over 92-98 then we will have a chance over Key Resistance.
If we get under 4378-74 we could see more selling towards lower Support, if that doesn't hold we have a chance for continuation lower where our targets would be 49.50 - 30s, possibly test of 27-21.50 and maybe that Contract Roll Gap area? which so happens to be above our HTF Key Support area. We will have to see if we can get in that space and fill it or do we find buyers to possibly give us a hold/pull back. If that doesn't hold we have 4310-4291 as our bigger time frame range low and its possible to either find a bigger bid or at least enough buying for hold/some sort of reversal IF we get there and of course if we find that.
Market made a big move lower and now might need time clean up, we will have to see what kind of action we get.

Combined US Indexes slammed into the wall…Bear in mind that the most obvious is the clearest (pun not intended).
The combined weekly charts stalled and reversed to breakdown hard and fast. Technical point to more downside, after a relief bounce due soon. This September already starts to look really bad for the equity markets.
The daily support will be tested, and expected to eventually break. Then the weekly long term support would be duly tested, will it break?
Tides are changed, more to come…
Exploring the S&P500: Decoding the Market Maker-Here's my quad chart analysis of ES1!, the S&P500 futures index, displaying striking accuracy with Fibonacci retracements.
-The top two boxes present micro charts on daily tf's, showing recent Fibonacci-based peaks and troughs. The bottom two are weekly schematics on 3 Day tf's, revealing longer-term trends obediently following Fib levels.
-KEEP IN MIND THE BOTTOM TWO "WEEKLY" ARE ACTUALLY 3 DAY CHARTS MAPPING A WEEKLY SCHEMATIC
-This alignment suggests the Market Maker's playful maneuvers before an anticipated significant move. Based on the patterns, I hypothesize a considerable downtrend on the horizon for the S&P Futures Index (ES1!).
-Remember, market predictions aren't set in stone and require vigilance. However... dump city here we come.
The History of the Stock Market: Path of Orwellian ControlThe History of Modern Humanity is flawed. A lie is a better word. Our history starts with the S&P being formed in 1870. We then have the Invention of the Telephone and the lightbulb a few years later... (What a Coincidence)
We see the impossible to construct Worlds Fairs Buildings of 1883 knocked down and our history rewritten. The Market has been turned into a weapon. In fact it has always been a weapon. "New inventions every few years when the time is right" to keep the market on its feet and the people under control.
SPY signals danger...Seldom you get to see my SPY chart, and the hand is shown here. A more detailed hand as the situation warrants a good understanding and effort to read too.
Summary line is that there is a retracement in play, already if you had not noticed yet. Furthermore, this retracement should last to November. Good thing is that it is still possible to be shallow, although I rather think not.
Starting with the weekly chart and candelsticks... its kinda bad for now. Last week saw a Dark Cloud Cover / Bearish Engulfing candle. And middle of this week appears to have a follow through to complete a potential three outside down.
The TD Setup already indicates a pull back is due, with the 409 level as the critical support. Primary trend is still bullish, but wait to see how (not) shallow this retracement would be. Based on the techincal indicators MACD and VolDiv, it appears that 400 is a possible target.
For now, MACD is tapering off indicating a shallow retracement, for now. The VolDiv appears more bearish, and already heads up the retacement weeks ago.
Just want to highlight the time lines... Noted the previous time lines, and the decent accuracy of the tops and bottoms correlation.
Based on this only... end August appears to be a bad time for the S&P500, and until mid-November 2023.
At this point, correlating with the VIX/VXX and bond markets, it still appears that the markets are confused into a standstill... and something might be tipping the scales to the bear side in a while later.
Looking forward...
#ES_F Day Trading Prep Week 7.31-8.05 Last Week : We continued our distribution above 4570 which is our bigger time frame Resistance area. We have been going sideways building up supply here with a few attempts to continue towards upper part of HTF Resistance at 4666 but were met with selling. Key Support and Key Resistance for the week provided great trades up and down the range. Thursday we trapped buyers over 4615-4603 Resistance which gave us a look above and fail, market flushed but wasn't just yet ready to break 4570-62 and who ever got too short Thursday at the lows provided us with buying on Friday to bring us back towards our trapped supply area or start at Key Resistance.
This Week : We have been building Supply in this 4570-4615 range for almost 2 weeks with a failure to get current Key Resistance. We have stops lined up below us and trapped buyers above, this tells us if the market cannot get over 4614 area, hold and then take out 4628-23 then we shouldn't be looking for continuation higher for now.
Previous Day and T2 highs are right above us with trapped time and volume over 4615.
If market cant get over 4615 and accept then we would look for rotation lower as the longs who are buying in this range are not getting the upside and could start selling out. If we start triggering lower stops that can bring more selling. If current Cost basis and Swing Stops below 4562 get taken then we could see a move towards the stops at 4548.75-43 with a look under around 4637 and possibly test our next Key Support at 4532.50-24.
Our next cost basis would be just under that and we could see buying front running that area on first attempts unless we will have size selling that could break it and continue then we could stay around that lower range this week that is IF we break of course.
For the market to continue higher we would need to either see buying to take us over 4615 right away and hold above trapped last weeks shorts under for support or get under 4603, build a base above 4590 and then take out 4603-10 again, after that I think we could target next ranges Resistances and stops.
Levels to Watch :
Current Support : 4603-4598.75
If Broken Could Target 4589.50-84.75 // 4570-62.50
If Broken Could Target 4551.25-48.75-43.75
Next Key Support 4532.50-24.25 Possible to see buyers around 4537 on first tests
Current Key Resistance 4614.50-9.75
IF broken and hold above Could Target 4623-28
Next Key Resistance 4646.25-4336.50
SPY with a Classic RestestTraders,
In my last post I alluded to SPY. I stated that it remained in breakout territory which is still true today. I stated that as long as we remain above 450, I remain bullish. Still true. In fact, all that has happened here is that we have a classic retest of previous resistance taking place currently. If we break below, another story may unfold and I will have to re-assess. But as of this post, 450 is holding strong and the retest (if it holds) is yet another rather bullish signal.
Stay tuned,
Stew

Combined US Indexes BREAKOUT!The combined US indexes clearly broke out of the range decisively.
Bullish now.
So, by simple geometric projection, there is a potential 10% upside.
Caveat is that the MACD and VolDiv are both weakening slightly. So, might have a retest of the resistance turned support, before the next launch.
On the contrary, IF the resistance turned support is broken (down) then it would tell otherwise.
Watch for it...
Combined US Indexes stick sandwichedQuick review... The combined charts appears to be giving a very clear heads up - with a candlestick sandwich !
Together with falling volumes, or in this case a falling VolDiv indicator, once the two red lines are broken, it is going way down, probably close to 600.
MACD is also supporting a weakening rally that is long in the tooth.
A storm is brewing... you know how you can smell it before you see it? That's where we are now, I think.
Accumulation of VIX to lead to a spike within the next week I'm back with yet another of my VIX bowl action posts.
There's so much going on around the globe that could trigger a spike. Markets are seeing negative RSI divergence across many indices on monthly, weekly and daily charts.
This time we could go even higher and reach the resistance above. But I'm being conservative in my target and aiming at the diagonal trend line.
I've linked my previous VIX bowl post that was extremely successful.
Good luck!
Combined US Indexes hit upside targetThe combined US indexes had spiked as expected, and hit the upside target. This came with good technical indicator support. But the caveat is that the candlestick looks like a dark cloud cover pattern. In this type of pattern, a gap up is reversed and a close is below the halfway mark of the previous candle body. This is exactly what happened so once can expect the outcome of a Dark Cloud Cover to follow, where there is a reversal. Furthermore, the target upside is also the channel Fibonacci 1.62 target.
Therefore, although the MACD and VolDiv appear supportive, it is likely due for a retracement. New support resistances are put in...
