Markets Love the Bulls!!! Close to All-Time HighsS&P pulled back 78% of the fall
Nasdaq pulled back 61% of the fall
Dow pulled back 78% of the fall
IWM pulled back 50% of the fall
Impressive rips for 2 weeks of trading for the "buy the dip" community. This week's direction was steady in futures, and gaps higher in indexes from opening to closing bell. I'm keeping the charts as clean and simple as possible. September and October are rarely good months for the markets so perhaps all-time highs are a bit of a stretch, but we're much closer now than we were August 5th when everyone was freaking out.
Upcoming news for next week:
FOMC Minutes
US PMI
Jackson Hole (with Powell Speech)
My defensive plays are focused through August and September expirations, but I'll likely continue to add hedges if appropriate.
Have a great weekend and back at it next week!!!

2 Weeks of Recovery - But Seasonality Lurks in Sep/OctMonday - UP
Tuesday - UP
Wednesday - UP
Thursday - UP
SPY has put together 2 weeks with 20+ points from low to high eclipsing the averaging 14/15 point average true range for the week - it really is wild stuff!!!
I try to make some sense of everything today with an inverse cup & handle pattern on the SPY/SPX/ES levels. I dive into September/October seasonality and upcoming news for the US. PMI next week and Jackson Hole. More employment news and PCE before the month ends with NVDA earnings.
CME Fed Watch Tool showing a 76% probability the FED will cut 25 bps September 18 and we will still see more news on employment and inflation come in before the official FOMC meeting.
Actively trading, cautiously bullish, a bit surprised by how motivated this market is to recover. If there's any hesitation, it would make sense technically. I'm not interesting in calling tops/bottoms, I'm just interested in good levels to trade.
Thanks for watching!!!

SNP500 / SPX 🔍 SPX Analysis: Navigating the Upcoming Market Movements 📉
The SPX chart presents key dates that traders should focus on:
September 18, 2024 & December 3, 2024 & February 3, 2025 - Green Lines: These dates indicate potential local lows. These could offer strategic opportunities for accumulating positions as the market is likely to bounce back from these points.
November 11, 2024 & March 10, 2025 - Red Lines: These dates are projected to be local peaks. Traders should consider taking profits around these times, as the market could face resistance or start to decline.
Currently, the SPX is in a downtrend, with a potential reversal expected around September 18, 2024. This could be an optimal point for re-entering the market or adding to existing positions.

It's a Bull - It's a Bear - It's Time to Make Up Your Mind3 straight weeks of setting from mid-July crescendos with a crash August 2. But the "crash" was met with a vicious buying spree that now places the major index 50% of so from the large high to low swing. In this video, I breakdown the technicals and scenarios trying to make some sense of where we could be heading. We are mostly through Q2 earnings. PPI and CPI prints have been digested (market likes it mostly). We still have retail sales and unemployment claims this week and if the market reacts bearish, it's a pretty obvious sign the market is more concerned about a softer labor market and recession than it is inflation. If the markets reacts bullish and continues to grind higher, we may be looking at another incredible V bottom without the FED having to do anything - which would be a surprise :)
I'm cautiously bullish and believe the market will struggle to blow through all-time highs, but it's possible we still test and sniff them out, though unlikely it will be broad. More about big money moves are cutting positions in Mag 7 so a true broadening will be a nice change of pace instead of a highly concentrated Top 10 carrying the overall market.
Enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
2024-08-14 - priceactiontds - daily update - sp500Good Evening and I hope you are well.
sp500 e-mini futures
comment: Also trading range price action since we closed 8 points above the open price, so many parallels to dax. Market is near the big bear trend line around 5500 and the big round number is the most obvious magnet currently. Market wants to get there desperately and a bit above for an easy liquidity grab. It’s likely that we hit 5500 tomorrow and the bear trend line. There bears have their do or die moment as well and I think it’s 50/50 if we reverse or break above.
current market cycle: Bear flag inside the bear trend
key levels: 5430 - 5500
bull case: Bulls now made 360 points from the lows and they now want to break strongly above 5500 and probably make new ath afterwards. Today’s price action was mostly sideways but with higher highs and higher lows, so technically a bull trend. There is nothing to deeply analyse here. We are grinding higher on low volume and are near the big round number and the daily 20ema. Tomorrow we have an answer where the next 300 points will be made.
Invalidation is below 5430.
bear case: Bears trying but not enough. They need a strong 1h close below the 1h 20ema. Right now they have to pray for the bear trend line to hold and find enough sellers at 5500 to trade back down. If the bear trend line breaks, it’s moon time because all the bears will cover their shorts there.
Invalidation is above 5530.
short term: Neutral 5450 - 5530. Need a strong breakout to either side to enter bigger positions again.
medium-long term: Bearish. I gave the 5000 target 3 months ago and we almost got there way earlier than expected. There is a reasonable chance we will see an event unfolding over the next weeks. Something breaks during these violent moves and this time will not be different.
S&P500 Inflation below 3% 1st time since 2021! Must the FED cut?The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) was reported today below 3% for the first time since April 13 2021! This means that Inflation (red trend-line) is getting closer to the Fed's desired benchmark, coming in contrast with the fears of an economic slowdown last week.
On today's S&P500 (SPX) analysis we examine the effect of an Inflation drop on the market.
As you can see, the sudden drop on the Inflation Rate in mid-2022 was followed by a sideways trend in the past year (since July 2023). This is not the first time we see such consolidation after a strong decline. In fact, the most similar pattern to today's is the post August 2012 consolidation on Inflation.
The similarities don't stop there. As this chart is our well-known 'S&P500 +10 year Cheatsheet' which we have published in the past and updated numerous times, we can see that the index has most likely entered the 2nd phase (green Rectangle) of its cyclical expansion (Channel Up), that tends to lead to a cooling Bear Phase in the form of a Megaphone. The current 1W RSI pattern is also similar to post 2013.
As a result, we expect the index to resume the uptrend and even hit 6900 at least as it will be a +95.84% rise (similar to 2011 - 2014).
Regarding the Fed, and whether or not they should cut the interest rates in September, we believe that this will be welcomed, especially on a 1 year basis, as it will stimulate the economy with inflation getting as close to the Fed's target as possible.

CPI Report in Focus: Futures Steady, Key Levels to WatchFutures Steady Ahead of Key Inflation Report
The price has pushed up and reached our target successfully, with momentum still aiming for 5,460 and 5,491. Today’s CPI report is expected to significantly impact market movements.
Bullish Scenario:
The price is likely to attempt reaching 5,460, with further movement depending on the CPI result. If the CPI comes in below 3.00%, this could drive the price higher.
Bearish Scenario:
A CPI reading of 3.00% or higher could trigger a decline, with the price potentially falling to 5,409 and 5,372.
Key Levels:
- Pivot Line: 5,460
- Resistance Levels: 5491, 5539, 5584
- Support Levels: 5409, 5,72, 5320
Today's Expected Trading Range: The price is anticipated to fluctuate between 5,372 and 5,491.
previous idea:
Hellena | SPX500 (4H): Long to resistance area 5407.Colleagues, the price has moved down a lot, but that means we have an opportunity to enter a long position more favorably. I still believe that price is still in an upward move of great impulse, and now there is a complex correction taking place.
I expect an uptrend to begin around the 5172 area.
The first expected target is in the 5407 area.

SPx Maintains Bullish Trend After Successful Retest, Targets5412S&P 500 Maintains Bullish Trend After Successful Retest, Targets 5412
The S&P 500 (SPX) has stabilized within a bullish trend by holding above 5,327, targeting 5,363 and 5,412 soon, especially after the successful retest it completed yesterday. The current volatility and technical indicators continue to suggest bullish momentum.

Direction: looks bullish above 5327
S&P bulls return in the game; still some work to doLast week, buyers regained control on the daily timeframe, filling the gap from Monday, August 5th, and closing the week at the high. While this was a strong display of power, I would approach it with caution for the following reasons:
1. The market is currently in a weekly consolidation phase. We've already seen how strongly the bears defend their control on the weekly timeframe (as evidenced by the last week of July), so this should not be disregarded.
2. The magnitude of Wednesday’s bearish candle demonstrates how easily the bears can move the price when they feel weakness
3. While all major sectors closed week green, none has managed to close above previous week high. Most of them are in a weekly consolidation, which signifies genuine market weakness.
To sum it up, while it's highly likely that the bulls will be able to confirm a weekly low ( 510.3 ) in the next days, it's uncertain whether they will be able to maintain their position for long. I would definitely wait to see the week’s close before considering a “buy.” Ideally, the bulls should fill the gap from Friday, August 2nd, and establish some value above 534 . If this doesn't happen and we see a strong price rejection, it would confirm bearish control.
The upcoming week is packed with economic data, which could fuel momentum for either side.

NVDIA BULLS! DON'T FART TOO LOUDLY. IT'S TOO STUFFYhe AI boom is reaching the sort of lofty heights that characterised history’s great bubbles, from the Dutch tulip mania to the dotcom bust at the turn of the millennium. Investors have now determined that Nvidia alone is worth more than the entire annual output of Spain. Add in the tech companies expected to profit most from the AI revolution — Nvidia along with Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla, and Microsoft — and the so-called Magnificent Seven are together valued at more than the stock markets of every other country on the planet. The American stock market’s spectacular performance over the last year, up more than a fifth, has been driven almost entirely by these seven companies.
We’ve been here before, many times. New technologies often produce bubbles — railways in the 19th century, automobiles and radios in the 1920s, the internet in the 1990s and now the AI boom, which was triggered by Open AI’s launch of ChatGPT late in 2022. Driving any bubble is the same conviction that the new technology will revolutionise the economy, combined with the fact that nobody can be sure just how it will do that. So narratives of transformation become self-sustaining, as the stock’s rise draws in ever more investors eager to join the ride, creating a self-propelling upward cycle.
In time, all bubbles burst, earlier or later.
Weekly Recap & Market Forecast $SPX (Aug 11th—> Aug 16th)**DIYWallST Weekly Recap & Market Forecast**
---
Hello Investors! 🌟 This week began with a flash of panic reminiscent of 1987’s Black Monday, but by week’s end, markets had regained some stability. Let’s explore the key events that shaped this volatile week in the markets. 📈
**Market Overview:**
Trading opened with a sense of deja vu as investors confronted fears of a "Black Monday" scenario. A mix of factors—including fears of a forced unwind of the Japanese Yen carry trade and growing concerns that the Fed is behind the curve—triggered a full-blown panic in global financial markets. The VIX skyrocketed nearly 165% to $65, and the Nikkei plunged about 15% on Monday. Warren Buffett’s decision to sell half his Apple stake and raise cash further rattled investors. Safe-haven flows surged into Treasuries, sending yields plummeting, while the Yen and Swiss Franc strengthened. Nearly all other asset classes, including gold and bitcoin, faced significant pressure as investors rushed to raise cash. The US yield curve briefly tested positive territory in the 2-10 year spread for the first time in about two years, and S&P futures tested the 200-day moving average. Fed fund futures markets quickly began pricing in a potential 50 basis point rate cut in September.
However, by the time the New York markets opened on Monday, the VIX had already pulled back from its pre-market highs, and stocks began to recover some losses. The NASDAQ composite tested but ultimately held its 200-day moving average. Treasury yields began to rise again, and the yield curve re-inverted. By midweek, fears surrounding the Yen carry trade had eased after a BOJ official indicated they would not continue raising rates during market instability. The whipsaw recovery continued after a stronger-than-expected weekly US initial jobless claims report, which fueled debate on whether the market had found a bottom. The US 10-year yield climbed back to 4% after disappointing 10-year and 30-year coupon sales. Oil prices rose again as markets awaited Iran's response to the assassination in Tehran last week. By the end of a turbulent week, the S&P slipped less than 0.1%, the DJIA shed 0.6%, and the Nasdaq fell 0.2%.
**Stock Market Performance:**
- 📉 S&P 500: Down by less than 0.1%
- 📉 Dow Jones: Down by 0.6%
- 📉 NASDAQ: Down by 0.2%
**Economic Indicators:**
- **VIX:** Skyrocketed nearly 165% to 65, reflecting heightened market volatility.
- **US Yield Curve:** Briefly tested positive territory in the 2-10 year spread before re-inverting.
- **US Initial Jobless Claims:** Came in stronger than expected, fueling optimism about the labor market and contributing to the market's recovery.
- **Treasury Yields:** The US 10-year yield climbed back to 4% by week’s end after disappointing Treasury sales.
- **Oil Prices:** Continued to rise amid ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran.
**Corporate News:**
- **Nvidia:** Faced headwinds after reports suggested the launch of its cutting-edge Blackwell chip would be delayed by a few months due to design issues. This was confirmed by Nvidia supplier SuperMicro during its earnings call, where they reported strong revenue but weakening margins, sending their shares sharply lower.
- **AI Trade:** Continued to unwind as questions lingered about the immediate impact of AI on the broader economy.
- **Disney:** Beat earnings expectations and raised guidance despite acknowledging economic uncertainty’s impact on consumers. The company also announced price hikes for its streaming services.
- **Airbnb and Hilton:** Both guided lower as vacationers tightened their belts ahead of a potential recession, signaling a challenging environment for the travel industry.
- **Lyft:** Reported its first-ever profitable quarter but missed estimates and provided weak guidance, contrasting with rival Uber, which reported more robust results.
**Looking Ahead:**
This week will bring several key economic data releases and earnings reports:
- **U.S. CPI Data**
- **U.S. PPI Data**
- **U.S. Retail Sales**
- **Earnings Reports:** Walmart ( NYSE:WMT ), Home Depot ( NYSE:HD ), Cisco ( NASDAQ:CSCO ), Alibaba ( NYSE:BABA )
- **13F Filings:** Expect insights into the latest moves by major investors.
As we look ahead, these developments will be crucial in shaping market sentiment and guiding investment decisions. If you have any questions or need further insights, feel free to reach out. Here’s to another week of informed investing and strategic decision-making! 🌟
fakeout into a shakeoutgood eve'
over the last 4 weeks the es1! has seen a bit of a shakeout which has scared a lot of people out of the market. whenever these things happen, i always wonder what it is that they're afraid of?
---
the es1! completed 5 waves up on a weekly timeframe from the 2023 low which we predicted, to the 2024 top which we did not pinpoint this time around.
i'm predicting we sweep the high 1-2 more times into the fed pivot,
before dropping very aggressively into the presidential election.
---
if all goes well, the timeline will look like this:
> we pop to sweep the high into the "fed pivot"
> we drop -20% into the presidential election.
> the presidential election turns out to be favorable for the market:
> next bull run begins.
---
i'm not your financial advisor, in fact - i'm not telling you to be a buyer nor a seller.
just sharing my interpretation of the chart in front of me.
do with this information what you will.
