Price action looks to be forming a top.
A Doji style candle has been posted from the high.
This is negative for short term sentiment and we look to set shorts at good risk/reward levels for a further correction lower.
Further downside is expected although we prefer to sell into rallies close to the 6058 level.
Although the anticipated move lower is corrective, it does offer ample risk/reward today.
We look to Sell at 6058 (stop at 6099)
Our profit targets will be 5942 and 5920
Resistance: 6102 / 6190 / 6235
Support: 6030 / 5980 / 5940

S&P500: Buy the dip and target 6,215.The S&P500 index is neutral on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 54.213, MACD = 29.690, ADX = 23.794) as it has completed the technical dive following the 4H Golden Cross just like August 21st 2024, and is rebounding. The two patterns are so far similar, both rebounding on oversold 4H RSI, and the September 2024 rebound almost reached as high as the 1.5 Fibonacci extension. We aim for another close test of the 1.5 Fibonacci (TP = 6,215).

2025 S&P500 Forecast Guess by Tim WestI included 2024's guess that I posted here in January last year which turned out to be quite accurate in terms of "action" and "direction". The volatility the market saw with wild swings back and forth was outlined on here as we reached the clusters of guesses from Wall Street estimates.
This is an old technique that I learned from Ken Fisher of Fisher Investments and from Forbes Magazine. His wise and witty insights were the foundation of my investment strategy when I started investing in the mid 1980's.
Basically, when you see what the "market expectations" are for a market like the FOREXCOM:SPX500 or S&P500 Index, you can then figure out what needs to happen to get the market to their estimates and realize the market will go to somewhere else other than their guesses.
With 2024 showing a majority of "less than historical average" forecasts and more downside forecasts, it was quite clear that the market could easily outpace or outperform those forecasts.
Now that 2025 shows that analysts are looking for an average year or more, I think it is safe to say that we won't get an average year.
We now have a rising US dollar, which hurts overseas earnings. We also have higher energy prices which also hurts earnings. And yet we have plenty of cash on the sidelines as everyone who missed the rally is hoping to buy on a decline and others are just happy to earn 5% on their cash balances thanks to an ultra-tight Fed (compared to the last 20 years).
So, I expect more of the same that we have seen in January and I also expect sharp declines if we get any moves above the highs and up towards 6500 on the SPX.
AMD'S Monthly indicators are still high Different indicator are still elevated and suggests that there is more room to the down side in the next few months or even 2 years. We have seen much lower numbers accross the board when having a major troughs.
ES/SPX Morning UpdateYesterday, 6042 reclaimed and triggered a move to 6070 and 6105, with 6105.50 marking the high of the day. Today will likely be choppy until FOMC at 2pm, followed by extreme volatility.
As of now:
• Hold runners; 6087 is support
• Staying above keeps 6105, 6115, and 6130+ in play
• If 6087 fails, expect a dip to 6066-70
AMD'S Short sell volume is screaming for a trough BUT downgradedMost analyst following AMD are downgrading its fundamentally because of the
AI new software coming from small company in China. Well, technically we are completely
going into the other direction which is we are having a major trough in coming weeks/months
in 2025 with + 50% move.
- The big question is when and where ?
WARNING: Some Elliottions are calling for a 1929 bear mkts !!!!!!!!!!
S&P500 Yesterday's crash has confirmed +9.20% rebound.The S&P500 index (SPX) rebounded strongly back to its 4H MA50 (blue trend-line), following yesterday's flash crash and recovered most than 50% of last week's Highs. The rebound took place exactly on the former Lower Highs trend-line of December's correction.
This correction was the technical Bearish Leg of the post August 05 2024 Channel Up and the rebound on it indicates that the market has turned it from Resistance to Support. Similar Lower Highs trend-lines were formed during the last two major corrections (July and April 2024) and the common feature on all (including the current one) is that a 4H Golden Cross was formed immediately after the break-out.
What followed after the Golden Cross was one last pull-back before a +9.20% rise. Yesterday's crash is most likely that pull-back. As a result, we should now be expecting a new +9.20% rise on the medium-term, with our Target being 6450.

SPX week of Jan 27th 2025
The upcoming week could be a bit wild based on the recent gaps and the FOMC meeting. There are a few ranges from recent gaps up that are prime candidates to be filled on a retracement. Especially considering that the last time the FOMC spoke about rates, the index dropped over 3% in a single day. That move is pictured below, and it spans from the current level of 6100 to the top of the lowest gap at 5890. Compounding this is that the highest level of negative gamma exposure sitting directly below the highest gap. Since volatility could pick up if we breach that negative exposure level and there are 2 large gaps below we could see a significant move down. The flip side of this is earnings of course - some of the biggest players are expected to beat estimates this week. That combined with the multiple levels of high gamma exposure sitting above the current level might keep the index rising all week towards the 6200 level. A very inexpensive way to play both sides would be far out of the money inexpensive debit spreads expiring Friday 1/31 centered around the strikes of 6200 to the upside and 5980 or even 5900 to the downside. Of course I am literally brand new at trying to do this kind of analysis so I quite possibly am getting all of this wrong (although I feel like I am getting the jargon down pretty well ;)
ES/SPX Morning Update Jan 27thOn Friday at 1:30 PM, ES broke below 6135, a key support level it had held for two weeks. Headlines fueled the move, leading to a gap down and a sharp sell-off. Initial targets at 6083 and 6070 were reached, with even more downside following.
As of now:
• 6016-20 must reclaim to trigger a short squeeze from buyers
• If 5982 fails, sellers can easily drop to 5966 and 5949 after that
AMD CC with NDX is at one of lowest readings historicallyCorrelation Coefficient with NDX is suggesting a trough is in the making unless 1929 crashes start to happen soon as many Elliootions suggesting we are forming the final WAVE 5 of 1929 wave count.
AMD Hursts cycles, 18M, 4.5Y & 9 Years is closing on a trough!Using day one as the first candle to count
Using three time frames 18 Months, 4.5 Years and 9 Years
All else absolute, we are having a trough right this very moment of very
close by few months as illustrated on the chart.
SPX: yep, ATH againThe inauguration of the new-old US President was in the spotlight of markets during the previous week. As there were no changes with respect to the pre-election promises, the markets continued to react positively for the rest of the week, bringing the S&P 500 to a new historically highest level. The level of 6.122 is a new historical point. Friday's trading session brought some profit-taking moments, where the index ended the week at the level of 6.101. The short reversal was mostly driven by tech companies, where Nvidia slipped by 3% to the downside. Tesla followed by 1% dip.
Regardless of positive sentiment in an after-inauguration period, the fear of tariffs still holds on the market. Investors do not perceive such a move, especially with China, in a fear that increased import prices might bring back inflation in the US. Depending on the level of tariffs, this further might imply that the Fed could be in position to hold interest rates at current levels for a longer period of time, which in the end, might impact the US growth for this year. This is why mentioning tariffs in public by the new US administration will always imply some contraction of markets in the coming period, which means increased volatility.
Another moment which is important is the US President's address at the business forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he noted that he will request a drop in interest rates, immediately. It is unclear how Fed Chair Powell and FOMC members will perceive such rhetoric, and intrusion of the US President into US monetary policy. Certainly, this will be one of the questions which will be addressed in an after-the meeting speech of the Fed Chair Powell, in the week ahead.
Overall, the week ahead will bring PCE data, Fed's interest rate decision, overview of macroeconomic data, and address of Fed Chair Powell. At the same time, big tech earnings are expected to be posted, so this could be a promise of another challenging and volatile week on financial markets.
S&P 500: Bullish Breakout or False Move?Chart Analysis:
The S&P 500 is at a critical juncture, trading just below a significant horizontal resistance level near 6,114.
1️⃣ Key Resistance Level:
The horizontal level at 6,114 represents a pivotal resistance, as prior attempts to breach this zone were met with selling pressure.
A successful breakout above this level could signal further upside potential and a continuation of the bullish trend.
2️⃣ Moving Averages:
50-day SMA (blue): Rising around 5,980, providing dynamic support and reflecting sustained upward momentum.
200-day SMA (red): Trending upward near 5,628, confirming the long-term bullish trend.
3️⃣ Momentum Indicators:
RSI: Hovering near 65, indicating strong bullish momentum but approaching overbought conditions.
MACD: Bullish momentum remains intact, with the MACD line rising and staying above the zero line.
What to Watch:
Traders should monitor for a confirmed breakout above 6,114 on increased volume to validate further upside potential.
Failure to break above this resistance could lead to a retracement toward the 50-day SMA or previous support levels.
Keep an eye on RSI for any bearish divergence or signs of momentum weakening.
The S&P 500 is at a make-or-break level, and its reaction at 6,114 will determine the next directional move.

ES/SPX Morning Update Jan 24thES has been on an 8-day winning streak, with momentum still riding off Monday’s 6020 Failed Breakdown. Yesterday’s reclaim of 6115 drove the move to my key targets at 6136 and 6154, both hit.
As of now:
• 6135 = support; holding above keeps 6161, 6172, and 6185 in play
• If 6135 fails, expect a dip to 6115, then 6098-6105

Although the S&P500 has been creating new all time highs for the past couple of months, charts are clearly telling us that this bullrun is not over yet. We already saw two textbook cycles of +90% each and during 2025, we will see the completion of the third and final bullrun.

Bulls and Bears zone for 01-23-2025Yesterday SPX had gap up opening, narrow range bar accompanied by high volume and closed in bottom half. Just an observation.
Level to watch: 6112 --- 6114
Conflicting signals for the S&P 500 just off its record highThe S&P 500 closed less than 4 points from its record high on Wednesday. On one hand, the reversal candle with bearish volumes suggest a pullback, on the other we've seen bears humbled under similar scenarios over the past 18 months. Today I explain why I think a bullish breakout is on the cards, while highlighting my bearish concerns for market positioning.
Matt Simpson, Market Analyst at City Index and Forex.com
S&P500: Be careful of this 4H Golden Cross.S&P500 is on a very healthy bullish 1D technical outlook (RSI = 61.261, MACD = -3.250, ADX = 30.268) and on 4H it is about to form the first Golden Cross since August 21st 2024. During these 5 months, the trend has been heavily bullish but the 4H Golden Cross only managed one last High before the price corrected again to the 1D MA100. The 4H RSI indicates that we might technically be at the start of this final High pricing. For now we will stay bullish (TP = 6,165) but after that, we will only buy again on the 1D MA100.

SPY bearish pitchfork setupSPY reached the middle (red) of the pitchfork line which may act as a resistance line. There is also a chance that it will break through and go to the next line up but I find it more likely that it will go down over the coming weeks.
