SPX (Expanding Triangle) continuationSummary of yesterday's idea and trade
-SPX is like my puppy, following my levels exactly
-From my yesterday's post, you should be up about 60-70 points, each contract ($50/pt) = $3000+ profits
Tonight's zone
-Fib levels
-Supply zone
-1/4H trendline
-Exp triangle trendline
-4H MA
-4550 psychological level
-Measured move from yesterday's push (60.3 points)
What more do you need? With so much confluence at a level, I will short it as a day-trader.
As a swing/position trader, I will enter long as it goes down to trap all the bears.
Analyze, think and consider
1) EVERYONE is hedging on this "bear move", so who will benefit? Consider the repercussions, MM's next move and $VIX.
THINK!!!
2) Whenever FED tightens or raise interest rates, is the effect immediate? And how long before the effect goes into the market?
Once again, refer back to previous data and THINK!!!
3) PMI, Oil and Yields are indicating this is not yet the bear market.
WAVE 5 Characteristics
-Low volume
-Usually at 61.8% or 100% of Wave 1
-Liquidity created through MM's buying on the hedges and stops

Stock Breakout Soon??Stocks are ranging in the value area we identified yesterday, currently finding support at 4440, the exact level we called out in these reports. We are holding a narrow range between 4440 and 4545. Volatility has consolidated considerably, and we are forming a sideways correction, possibly a triangle pattern. The longer that ranging will continue, the more likey a breakout will follow. The Kovach OBV is sloping downward, suggesting a slight bear divergence. If 4440 does not hold, then we will reestablish the range that stocks have held between 4272 and 4440. If We gain momentum, we must first break through 4580, then there is a vacuum zone to 4632. We must break 4580, before being considered 'bullish' again.
SPX (Corrective Structure) Expanding TriangleBullish tilt
1) Correction phase
-Structure: Expanding triangle
2) Fib levels intersecting w bottom trendline
-high probability setup
Alternate analysis - bull flag forming
Key level of 4446 is still holding so we will maintain the bullish-bias till structure is broken.
Personal Opinion
a) Nimble trader and create "what-if" scenario
b) Once an analysis is done, risk management must be in place
c) Patience is key
Stocks Retrace, Breakout Soon??The S&P 500 has retraced a bit after breaking out to 4580. This is a significant target which must be solidly broken if stocks are to consider new highs again. There is a vacuum zone above this level to 4632, which is our next target. However, we are seeing a corrective phase after the push from the low 4200's, with a retracement to support at 4440, the exact level we highlighted. From here, we anticipate more momentum for stocks, as the Kovach OBV is starting to pick up and the markets seem to be digesting news of Fed Rate Hikes, Omicron risk, inflation, world wide vaccine protests and more. If we continue to sell off, we anticipate support in the value area from before with 4272 a likely floor.
BTC/USD : Trading range configuration (28,800 <=> 69,000) BTC/USD : Trading range configuration (28,800 <=> 69,000)
How to describe the price action on goin on crypto and BTC/USD on current level? First of all it always depending the timeframe you are focus on.
Here i will present the BTC/USD picture with the same way im used to do it since year :
1/ Situation on Strategic horizon (6 to 12 Month)
2/ Situation on Tactical horizon (1 to 3 weeks)
3/ Potential short-term trade idea (activable trade regarding R/R)
4/ Situation of the BTC regarding the global macro aspect (Multi asset classes and performance of the BTC within Crypto asset)
-----
1/ Strategic Horizon (Range before rise)
Looking at (Monthly/weekly/daily Chart elements), the market is progressing within a significant bullish trend with a many chart, wave, and indicators occurence showing 28,800 as a Strategic support to keep safe in weekly close i order to keep the bullish trend valid and anticipating a new ATH towards 77 000 before in the best case 100/120K (max before significant bearish market)
Main element : Elliot wave showing a configuration (Corrective wave in Zigzag Flat) to shape wave (IV) consolidating the full up trend from 3000 to 69K. A wave (IV) is totally logic here and quite healthy in order to accumulate new bullish momentum on indicators to push the market higher
Once we say that it is normal to follow the downside swing on a shorter horizon....
2/ Tactical Horizon (bearish towards 34800 max 28,800 - As long as 54000 remains resistance)
The 24/09/2021, the combinaison between chart (double top test), Indicators (Divergence rsi + death cross MM daily) + Range configuration (Elliot) on Strategic horizon gave a clear exhaustion signal to fade from the swing up off the range (recovery after the 2020 sell off), 3 weeks after it was the ETH and 4 weeks after it was the CMC 200 index Ex BTC (TOP 200 crypto index) which gave the same signal. It means following this analysis a reduction to the exposure on BTC at 67400 and all the exposure on BTC at 64200 to wait the construction of the downside swing (69000 to 34800) before accumulating new bullish position on BTCUSD.
Today The closest key tactical resistance is setup at 54K (See Daily element) MM resistance + Elliot/fibo key level are defining the key resitance to follow the continuation of the drop in order to reach 42400 area before the tactical target at 34800 (If we are following the Elliot wave account, we are now engaging the wave 5 from (c) from (IV) it means the drop towards the support after having consolidate in flat move the last past 20 days (accumulation before drop)
3H hours chart element reverse bearish today after having attempt to accumumate in bullish area in order to test the daily key resistance element (failed)
So the logic now is to wait that the daily chart element at least provide exhaustion bearish signal by providing at least a divergence close to the strategic key support (as you can see the RSI is just below 50% so there is room and time... so no rush to buy the dips now....
3/ Trading idea
In the configuration selling all the dead cat bounce are good even now... The first Key resitance level to setup stop position (robust one i mean) is at 51050.... targeting 42400 as free lunch target lets say that between 49000and 50000 we can find a good area to short (i mean on intrday basis), if the market bounce till there (possible as long as 47000 stay support today or tomorrow). But keep in mind that only 54000 K remains the doors to break to invalidate any change of the current bearish dynamic. Mixe conviction to see larger bounce here but in case of 51050 Stay on my perspective the only strong intraday key resistance.
4/ BTC in macro view
Here an article (i designed it) : learn.akt.io
(keep in mind the level on SP500 are on weekly basis - so 4760 has been challenged but the zone is 4760/4830)
Have a nice evening

ES1! SPX500USD 2022 FEB 07 Week
Last week's ES saw price rejection at previous breakdown level
4573 and test of breakout 4411-4446.
Shall 4411-4446 support hold, shall look for long opportunity.
If market returns into rotation, strategy will then be to
short at upper boundary resistance and long at lower boundary
support.
Indecision on Daily/Weekly bar may cause whipsaw movement,
trade with care.
Weekly: Average volume up bar closing in middle = indecisiveness
Daily: Average volume bar closing in middle. It has a lower low
than previous bar, and closed higher and in the middle
= some strength, but indecisive still.
H4: High volume Upthrust bar, weakness will be confirmed if
next bar closes lower.
Price reaction levels:
Short = Test and Reject | Long = Test and Accept

Stocks Reject Higher LevelsStocks have showed some weakness after rejecting higher levels at 4580. We appear to have topped out at this level for now with several red triangles on the KRI confirming prohibitive resistance for now. The Kovach OBV has taken a notable dive downward, but we have found support for now at 4462. We might be forming a bear wedge with a lower bound at this level. If we are able to break through, we should see good support at 4440, otherwise we will enter the previous value area between 4272 and 4440 again. If we see a burst of momentum, then 4580 must be broken before we attempt higher levels in the 4600's.
3 golden opportunities for SPXAfter the bullish upwards move of 300+ points, looking for a corrective wave.
Opportunity 1
4H/1H timeframe gave the resistance, supply and fib levels
Opportunity 2
ABC pattern from market opening
Opportunity 3
Dip buying from the correction of ABC
In my humble opinion:
All the setups comes with very good R:R where you could have adjusted your risk accordingly.
SPY Corrective (Short Term)In the next couple of days, SPY will trade in this corrective zone on the daily.
1) Trend line is holding as resistance which coincides with
-the fib level
-the supply zone
2) ABC pattern where price bounced off
Option 1: Wait for prices to form today on the daily to determine the corrective pattern
Option 2: Take a long position but have a tight stop aiming for potential fib level
Biasness - Long term bullish
Stocks Meet ResistanceThe S&P 500 has made a run for higher levels, but has faced extreme resistance at 4580, which we identified as a hurdle for stocks in these reports. We attempted to break higher, but several red triangles on the KRI have confirmed resistance. Subsequently, a small retracement took us back to support at 4521. The Kovach OBV is pretty flat, lending skepticism to this rally. If we retrace further, it is likely that we will see support at 4440 again. If we are able to see momentum come through then 4632 is the next target.
Stocks Hit Our Profit Target 🤑📈 Will Momentum Continue??Stocks have gained notable momentum. We have broken through our first target of 4487, and have made a run for the second level at 4580. We are currently seeing some resistance at this level, confirmed by a red triangle on the KRI. There is a vacuum zone above 4580 to 4632, which is our next target for the S&P 500 if we are able to break 4580. The Kovach OBV is trending up, indicating bullish momentum, but we are facing a lot of resistance from these levels. If resistance prevails, we may retrace to support at 4487 again, or even retrace the entire move back to 4440.
Stocks Break Out!!Stocks have gained steam in the Asia-Pacific session, finally breaking through the upper bound of the range at 4440, which they have been holding all week last week. The S&P 500 was able to reach our next target of 4487, and continued to trend up, before finally coming up for air around 4521, where two red triangles on the KRI are noting resistance. The Kovach OBV has picked up significantly, suggesting there may be more legs to this rally. Watch for momentum at the open for confirmation. If so, then our next target is 4580. Once we break this level there is a vacuum zone back up to 4632. In the event of a retracement, 4440 should provide support, and if not, we will reenter the value area between 4272 and 4440 once again.
Stocks Test the RangeStocks are maintaining the wide range between 4272 and 4440. We are currently tending to the upper bound of this range, testing higher levels where we are meeting resistance. The Kovach OBV is trending upwards, suggesting a slight bull divergence. Watch the open today to determine if momentum picks up for clues as to whether we can break 4440. If so, the next target is 4487, then 4580. If 4440 provides prohibitive resistance, we could make a run for lows again at 4272, but we have plenty of levels of support in between from which we could get a pivot. Stocks must definitively break 4440 before we can be considered 'bullish' again.
S&P500 due for bounce - dead cat or rocket?The week's worth of S&P500 action was exciting, confusing and has implications for the next couple of weeks...
The weekly chart shows the bounce off the weekly 55EMA with a nice long tail, likely a week or two of technical bounce to follow. The daily chart has a very bullish looking candle on Friday, where a long tail ends with good momentum to close at the top. While the weekly MACD is dropping off into the bearish territory, the daily MACD appears to be technically finding its way back to mean.
Overall, this has odd implications, one being a start of a real bounce/recovery to historical high (or higher) OR it is a dead cat bounce for further downside after checking in with the daily 55EMA (about 4500). It is opined that we should have a visit to the last low, near 4200, but the real question is when .
Meanwhile, stay nimble...
Technical Analysis for StocksStocks appear to be establishing value in the lower 4300 handle. We have support from below at 4272, and are facing resistance above at 4440. The Kovach OBV has completely flattened out, confirming the indecision. Currently, it appears we are making a run for lower levels, so watch 4272. If we are able to break this, then 4228 is the next target. Beyond that, we have 4214, then a vacuum zone to 4188. If we catch a bid and are able to break 4440, then 4487 will be the level to break before 4580.
Stocks Tumble after FOMCStocks have broken down from 4440, and sought out lower levels in the 4300 handle after dipping as low as 4272. This followed the FOMC meeting, where the Fed delayed an interest rate hike but noted that a hike every subsequent meeting for 2022 was not out of the question. This and balance sheet reduction is their plan to combat the highest inflation in a generation. The markets jostled to digest this information with choppy trading before stocks dumped to lower levels. The Kovach OBV is tapering upwards in an apparent divergence with price, which fell through two handles before finding support in the 4300's, reaching 4353, where we are seeing resistance from a red triangle on the KRI. If we fall further, then we should have support at 4245 or 4223. If we rally, then we will see resistance at 4440. It is likely that stocks will try to establish value somewhere between these two bounds before making their next move.
Stocks Hinge on Three Key Issues from the FOMC Statement TodayStocks continue to edge up trepidaciously, testing 4421 or so, the levels from which we dumped on Monday. Two red triangles on the KRI have confirmed resistance here at every attempt. We won't see much action in stocks until after the FOMC minutes in the afternoon. A rate hike is largely priced into the markets, so when this happens, we should be able to break out higher. However, if their rhetoric is particularly hawkish, we could make another run for lows. Watch what they have to say about three key issues: inflation, Omicron, and Russia tensions, all issues which are currently spooking investors. If we are able to break out, then 4487, and 4580 are the next targets. If we break lower, we could test 4245 again. The Kovach OBV is edging up showing a slight bull divergence, but the FOMC event is what the markets are hanging on before their next move.
Have Stocks Bottomed??Stocks dumped yesterday as we anticipated in the reports. Yesterday morning, we saw a small bounce from the S&P 500 apparently attempting to test the mid 4400 handle, but this was attempt was swiftly batted down in a persistent selloff that lasted most of the day. At the end of the day, we saw a sharp buyback, which could have been a gamma squeeze as puts were piling into the order books. The sharp short squeeze erased all of our losses with some stock indexes ending the day in the green. Currently, we edged lower, as the markets equilibrate from the selloff and subsequent rally. We appear to be getting support from 4327 and resistance from 4389 at the moment. If we continue to press higher, we could see an inverse head and shoulders pattern with a neckline at 4409 or 4440. A breakout from there could test 4487, or 4580. If things take a turn for the worse, then 4245 should provide support, but if not 4188 and 4178 are the first levels in the 4100 handle.
VIX - 9th time lucky? All of the blue cups are the same size and as you can see, they have been very accurate in attempting to capture the potential movement of the VIX in relation to the markets.
We're seeing the markets making up some of the lost ground from yesterdays sell as expected, but if the bowl is to be respected as we have seen so 9 times in a row (last 6 being very accurate), we can see it reach levels between 25 and 31.
I would consider buying nearer the bottom of the bowl if it reaches there with a tight SL, taking profit @ 25, 28.5 and 32.
Best of luck!
Sky,
Stocks Dip Sharply, A Bearish Start to the WeekStocks have fallen, taking a turn for the worse at the opening of the Asia-Pacific session. We have given up the 4400 handle entirely to seek support in the 4300's. We made a valiant attempt to pivot to the mid 4400's, where 4431 proved to be a barrier. A rejection took us back to support at 4380. A green triangle on the KRI is starting to suggest some support here, but the risk sentiment is looking pretty bearish. We should have support from 4364, 4350, and 4327 in the event of another dump. If we are able to catch a relief rally, 4431 should provide resistance, with 4487 a likely ceiling for now.
