SPX (S&P 500 Index)

Bearish Outlook for US500: Watching 5,200 SupportAfter testing support at the end of February, the US500 fell below this key level at the start of March, signaling the potential for a deeper correction. In my view, this scenario is likely, and any rebound this week could present a good selling opportunity for speculators. My target for this correction is the 5,200 support zone. A stabilization above 6,000 would invalidate this outlook.

Validation of a long term top in the SPX continues to playballLast week I posted an update on my SPX cash index analysis...found below. At the end of last week, we see where the price action has been filling in nicely as of Friday. Some key take-a-ways. First, is the price action has breached the area that I am counting as the wave 4 of one lesser degree. This would be an initial clue that the bull market pattern that started back in August of last year is cracking. This would be the area that I am counting as the intermediate wave (4). I am forecasting this recent price action down is the Minor A wave of the beginning of a stair stepped decline that has a high probability of coming back into that area of the August 2024 lows after we retrace higher in a minor B wave, labeled in Red. What's important about price coming back into this area of approximately 5121-4950 is this the area that price could hold and manage a higher high, essentially meaning that my count is off by one degree...and what I am counting as a wave (III) super-cycle top will get pushed out to end of 2025-2026. However, to breach this area even incrementally, would provide much the same clues we're getting now, about price breaching the minor wave 4 of one lesser degree. Below this must hold area, is where my forecast of a super-cycle wave (III) gets confirmation...until then we look for clues of validation...but confirmation does not come until price cane breach this area. To breach this area would reflect in price action that resembles the below.

SPX Is About to Explode – Here’s What I’m WatchingSPX is at a critical level, and whichever way it breaks, the move could be huge. Here’s my take: If we drop below 5663, I see a move down to 5534 – 5445. If that zone fails, we could head toward 5332, and if selling pressure keeps up, 5234 might be next. But if we break above 5800, the bulls could take over, pushing to 5972, and maybe even 6149. It’s all about reaction levels now. I’m watching these zones closely—what’s your take? Are we heading up or breaking down? Kris/ Mindbloome Exchange Trader Smarter Live Better

S&P500 1week MA50 test is the last before the Cycle tops.S&P500 / US500 tested this week its 1week MA50 successfully as the price almost touched it and rebounded. We have seen this kind of behavior in the last 9-12 months before a Bull Cycle tops. In fact with the 1week RSI trending downwards on a bearish divergence, today's price action looks more similar to the October 13 2014 1week MA50 fakeout, which was breached marginally but rebounded immediately. Based on that, a 6500 Cycle Top target by October 2025 is very much realistic. Follow us, like the idea and leave a comment below!!

Tariff Wars, NFP & Range-Bound Markets – What’s Next? Tariff Wars, NFP & Range-Bound Markets – What’s Next? | SPX Market Analysis 07 Mar 2025 The market is acting like a drunk sailor, stumbling between a sideways range and a downsloping channel, leaving traders scratching their heads and redrawing trendlines daily. If this feels frustrating, welcome to the real evolution of price action—the part nobody talks about. Traders love to show off the perfect trade after it happens, but the real challenge is navigating price movement as it unfolds. One day, it’s a range, the next, it’s a channel, and by the time you’ve figured it out, the market’s already moved on. For now, I remain hedged and in a no-lose position, watching how this range resolves.With Trump pulling a 2018-style tariff play, and NFP looming, we could be in for a big move soon—or just more of the same slow churn. Either way, I’ll be ready when the market finally decides to commit. --- Price action is in full “make up its mind later” mode, bouncing between a short-term range and what could evolve into a downsloping channel. The only certainty? Traders who force trades in this mess will get chewed up. The problem with trendlines and pattern analysis is that they’re constantly evolving. One day, it looks like a clean range, the next, it’s a slanted consolidation, and suddenly, what looked like a breakout yesterday is just noise today. This is why I never rely on one rigid framework—instead, I follow my six money-making patterns that adapt as price action develops. At the moment, I see three scenarios playing out. If price respects the range, we get a bounce toward the highs. If it breaks the range, we could see a sharp downside continuation. And if we keep drifting in no-man’s land, then it’s just more of the same. Forcing trades when the market hasn’t committed is a recipe for frustration. Thankfully, I don’t need to guess. My hedge is holding firm, keeping me in a no-lose position while the market sorts itself out. I’m not eagerly adding trades or picking a direction yet—I’m waiting for the market to show its hand first. Meanwhile, in tariff news, Trump just announced a temporary removal of tariffs under the USMCA agreement until April 2nd. If this feels like déjà vu, that’s because it is. The market is mirroring the 2018-19 trade war, where even in a declining market, we saw strong rallies. No two market cycles are ever exactly the same, but they do tend to rhyme. So, will NFP be the trigger that finally kicks this market into gear? Or will we be stuck with another day of watching paint dry on the charts? Either way, I’ll stay patient, stay hedged, and be ready for when the next real move arrives. --- 📢Did you know? In 1987, a trader at Salomon Brothers coined the phrase “Dead Cat Bounce” to describe a brief market rally during a larger downturn. The idea? Even a dead cat will bounce if dropped from high enough. 💡The Lesson? Short-term rallies don’t always mean the trend has changed—a bounce isn’t the same as a recovery.

Combined US Indexes - Breakdown and JittersMarked out previously, the US indexes broke down a tad earlier and retested to fail only to drop further based on jitters and jitter-induced expectations. While the candlestick is long and solid pretty much, there is an extension zone to expect more of the downside to overreach and be oversold before a bounce. You should be able to see that the Buy Setup is pretty much done and can expect a bounce reversal soon... but only after momentum ebbs and a base support is found. Watch for it...

S&P500: Potential Channel Up rebound on the 1D MA200.S&P500 is bearish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 34.564, MACD = -60.140, ADX = 38.870) as it unfolded the bearish wave of the long term Channel Up. The sequence has hit its 1D MA200 though, which is the major Support on this timeframe and being also the bottom of the Channel Up, we should be expecting a rebound. The first bearish wave of the Channel Up surpassed the 1.382 Fibonacci extension, so that is a valid technical target. The trade is long, TP = 6,300. ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

Markets Bouncing Like Gummy Bears – What’s Next?Markets Bouncing Like Gummy Bears – What’s Next? | SPX Market Analysis 06Mar 2025 The market is bouncing around like a gummy bear on gummy juice—up one day, down the next, sometimes both in the same session. But now, a short-term price range is forming, making trade setups much clearer. This new range, which is easier to see on ES futures, aligns perfectly with my 6 money-making patterns, guiding bullish, bearish, and neutral scenarios. ADD is at an upper extreme, overnight futures are selling off, and we have tariff wars & red flag news on deck—so patience continues to rule the day. The market is setting up for its next big move, and I’ll be ready when it fires. --- Deeper Dive Analysis: The markets continue to whipsaw traders, creating choppy and indecisive price action. But amidst the chaos, a short-term range is forming, providing clearer trade setups based on my 6 money-making patterns. 📌 The Market Setup – A Tight Range is Emerging A short-term, well-defined price range is forming (visible on ES futures) This creates clear "what to do" signals based on my system Three possible scenarios: Bullish breakout – if buyers take control Bearish breakdown – if sellers push through support Neutral range-bound action – if price continues to chop around 📌 Key Market Observations Today ADD is at an upper relative extreme – signalling a possible short-term pullback Price is near the upper boundary of the range – a natural resistance level Overnight futures are already selling off – adding to the bearish bias 📌 What Could Trigger the Next Big Move? Tariff wars unfolding – potential for market-moving headlines Red flag news this month – major economic reports could act as a catalyst Markets at a tipping point – just waiting for the right push 📌 How I’m Trading This: ✅ Hedged for movement in either direction—no need to predict, just react ✅ Waiting for confirmation before making a move—patience wins ✅ Watching for breakouts or failures at range extremes This is a textbook setup—range-bound markets lead to breakouts, and I’ll be ready to capitalize on the move when it comes. --- Fun Fact 📢 Did you know? In 2009, a Twitter hoax claiming President Obama was injured caused the S&P 500 to drop 1% in minutes, wiping out billions in market value—before bouncing back when the truth came out. 💡 The Lesson? The market reacts to headlines before verifying facts—a reminder that patience and confirmation matter in trading.

2022 Déjà Vu? Markets Stalling at a Critical Level2022 Déjà Vu? Markets Stalling at a Critical Level | SPX Market Analysis 05 Mar 2025 We expected roller-coaster swings this week, and the market hasn’t disappointed. The price action feels oddly familiar, reminiscent of early 2022, when a failed all-time high attempt led to a slow, choppy bear market. Right now, the market is stuck at a key decision point—dithering at the lower range like it can’t decide whether to break down or bounce back up. ADD data leans slightly bullish, suggesting a possible range-bound chop with an upward bias, unless sellers take full control and push us into the February/March correction cycle. No need to guess—I’m hedged and ready for either outcome. The only thing left to do? Wait for the market to tip its hand. --- Deeper Dive Analysis: The market is moving exactly as expected—lots of noise, little commitment, and price action that mirrors early 2022, just before the slow-motion bear market began. 📌 What’s Happening Right Now? Markets failed to make new highs and are now chopping near the range lows The last time we saw this structure? Early 2022 before a major shift downward Price is hesitating, signalling traders are waiting for a catalyst 📌 Two Possible Outcomes: 1️⃣ A Range Reversal (Bullish Scenario) ADD data suggests a short-term bullish bias A grinding, sideways move with an upward tilt is likely Ideal for small, quick trades—but no trend confirmation yet 2️⃣ The February-March Correction Cycle (Bearish Scenario) If support fails, sellers could accelerate the move lower Seasonal trends often bring a correction this time of year Watching for signs of a decisive breakdown 📌 How I’m Approaching This Market: ✅ Staying hedged so that a move in either direction is fine ✅ Being patient—waiting for a strong move before committing capital ✅ Avoiding impulse trades—letting the market tell me what’s next Traders who rush in too early this week could get chopped up in the indecision, while those who wait for a clear confirmation will be in the best position to capitalize. --- Fun Fact 📢 Did you know? The biggest one-day percentage drop in history wasn’t 2008—it was Black Monday in 1987, when the Dow crashed 22.6% in a single day. 💡 The Lesson? Markets can collapse out of nowhere, but structured traders with hedges and a system don’t panic—they profit.

S&P500 1D MA200 hit after 16 months!The S&P500 index (SPX) has been trading within a multi-year Channel Up since the October 12 2022 market bottom and hit yesterday its 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) for the first time in 16 months (since November 01 2023). This is naturally an excellent technical buy entry for the long-term on this structure but is also a Higher Low for the Channel Up. At the same time, the 1D RSI has almost reached its oversold barrier (30.00), which during those 2.5 years has offered the 5 most optimal buy signals. Given that each rally after such Higher Low has been -4% weaker than the previous, we can expect the one that is about to begin to be +20% (-4% less than the previous one of +24%). As a result, our new long-term Target is 6900. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

SPX chart update after calling moves to the $ for 3 yearsHere is the 1st chart I did of SPX back in Jan 2022: I called the drop to the yellow line on chart. Nailed it to nearly the exact $. Then in October 2023 I mentioned this: The rally was confirmed for the next 6 months minimum. Then in Jan 2024 I posted a red horizontal line as target for the rally: Now you can see on current bottom chart that price hit the red line target. This chart setup you see on bottom chart also shows relevance to the 1st chart I did on SPX where when the blue EMA8 went below the orange MA21, a drop happened as per the red X marks and price changes shown on chart. This is close to happening currently which is easier to see on the top chart as I give a close up view on current price action and the EMA/MA's. Are we about to see a drop as per yellow price change on chart or can SPX bounce from here and move up to the green horizontal line on chart? The EMA/MA crossunder will tell us. Even though I called the moves all correct previously, at this time in the markets, things are alot trickier so I cannot say with conviction this time around as to which way it will go. I will update the analysis once the bounce or cross under is confirmed.

S&P500 Index Goes 'Draconian', ahead of Roller Coaster ExplosionThe S&P 500's "roller coaster" behavior stems from its sensitivity to various economic, geopolitical, and market-specific factors that influence investor sentiment and corporate performance. Economic Factors: Changes in interest rates, inflation, and Federal Reserve policies significantly impact the index. For example, rising interest rates can reduce corporate earnings and valuations, leading to market sell-offs. Conversely, expectations of rate cuts can boost optimism and drive rallies. Investor Sentiment and Volatility: The S&P 500 is closely tied to the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), often called the "fear gauge." The VIX rises during market downturns as investors seek portfolio protection, amplifying price swings. This inverse correlation highlights how fear or optimism can drive sharp movements in the index. Global Events: Geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, or pandemics can disrupt markets by creating uncertainty about future economic performance. Such events often lead to sudden spikes or drops in the S&P 500 as investors react to perceived risks. Valuation Cycles: Overvaluation or bubbles in specific sectors can lead to corrections. For instance, high price-to-earnings ratios combined with slower economic growth can result in prolonged periods of stagnation or volatility. These factors collectively create the "roller coaster" effect begun in the S&P 500. // Life is like a roller coaster, as you don't know what's going to be thrown at you next, so all you can do is give us your best shot. -- Best wishes, @PandorraResearch Team 😎

Direxion High Beta Bull S&P 500 3X | HIBL | Long at $30.86Contrarian view, despite tariffs. I don't think this rodeo is over - but I could always be wrong. Even if individual consumption drops (which I think it has for some time now), rising prices will continue to mask it. Many, but not all, companies will profit and until there is a "bigger" catalyst... bullish. AMEX:HIBL is a personal buy at $30.86 (also noting the possibility of it going into the FWB:20S in the near-term) Targets: $40.00 $45.00 $50.00

Hedged & Waiting - Let The Market Pick A SideHedged and Waiting – Let the Market Pick a Side | SPX Market Analysis 04 Mar 2025 The week starts with a bang—Trump, tweets, and political uncertainty, and markets bouncing like a hyperactive yo-yo. With bullish and bearish triggers already firing, we’re in a "could go either way" situation. Price is lingering at the range low on the daily chart, leaving us with two clear possibilities—a range reversal targeting the highs or a breakout move lower. With major political talks and red flag news this week, volatility could be off the charts. I’m hedged, prepared, and waiting. Whether the market pumps or dumps, I’m simply waiting for the next move to commit—because patience, as always, is the name of the game. --- Deeper Dive Analysis: The market opens with uncertainty at its peak—Trump’s latest comments, political negotiations, and key economic data are all on deck this week, creating wild swings. 📌 Market Structure – A Classic "Could Go Either Way" Setup Bullish & Bearish triggers have fired, but price remains stuck The daily chart shows price hesitating at the range low Two possible scenarios using my 6 money-making patterns: Range Reversal: Price rebounds to target the range high Range Breakout: Price collapses and follows a measured breakout move 📌 What’s Driving the Uncertainty? Political talks in focus – decisions this week could shake the markets Start-of-the-month red flag news – payroll reports, inflation data, and more General market indecision – traders waiting for a confirmed direction 📌 How I’m Approaching It – No Need to Predict, Just React I’m already hedged, meaning a move in either direction is fine Patience is key—waiting for price to confirm its move Letting the market decide—no need to force trades in choppy conditions This is one of those weeks where traders who chase moves will get whiplash, while those who stick to their system will come out ahead. The plan? Let the market "git goin’" before committing capital. --- Fun Fact 📢 Did you know? In 2016, one of Trump’s tweets about Boeing sent the stock tumbling over 1% in minutes, wiping out $1 billion in market value—all over a comment about Air Force One being "too expensive." 💡 The Lesson? A single headline or tweet can move markets, but traders who follow their system instead of knee-jerk reactions are the ones who win in the long run.
