SPX (S&P 500 Index)

/ES - GEX Structure with TPO and SPX GEX insight The structure revisited last week's POC during GLOBEX, followed by position adjustments during the US CASH SESSION. As usual, 99% of the time, this zone oscillates up and down without a clear direction. Respecting the downside levels, the market tested Friday’s low around 6018 to see if it holds, showing no interest in paying anyone. I’m leaning towards a bearish stance as long as we keep trading below 6060/6080. Key Levels: POC Retest (GLOBEX): 6040 Friday’s Low: 6018 Highest Negative NETGEX: 6010 2nd PUT Wall: 5990 3rd PUT Wall: 5965 Single Prints Area: Below 5950 Poor Low Zones: 5920 and below The market remains stuck in a balance area, reacting to these levels while traders adjust positions. Any sustained trade below 6018-5990 could trigger further downside movement, while reclaiming 6060/6080+ may shift the bias back upward. SP:SPX = GEX considerations : 1. GAMMA CONDITION Currently Negative → SPX is in a Put-Dominated Environment, meaning put open interest and volume outweigh calls. Why it matters: Negative gamma means market makers hedge by selling into declines and buying into rallies, increasing volatility. If SPX drops further, dealers must sell more, potentially accelerating downside moves. 2. NET GEX / DEX (Gamma and Delta Exposure) Gamma Exposure (GEX) Since Yesterday: Net GEX decreased by -86.51M (-10.67%), moving from -810.5M to -897M. Since 14:00: Net GEX decreased by -85.33M (-10.51%), now at -897M. Interpretation: A decreasing negative GEX suggests put activity is rising or being adjusted, reinforcing volatility. With negative gamma, dealers hedge in ways that magnify price swings in both directions. Delta Exposure (DEX) Since Yesterday: Net DEX dropped by -47.58B (-4.24%), from 1.12T to 1.07T. Since 14:00: Net DEX decreased by -33.39B (-3.02%), now at 1.07T. Interpretation: The decline in DEX suggests dealers are reducing their long delta exposure, which may indicate hedging pressure in response to market movement. 3. VOLUME & PUT/CALL RATIOS P/C Volume Ratio: Increased to 1.45, indicating more puts being traded than calls. Call Volume (Since Open): 1.14M contracts, up 6.46% since 14:00. Put Volume (Since Open): 1.65M contracts, up 8.24% since 14:00. Interpretation: A Put/Call Ratio of 1.45 signals a strong bearish bias, as traders are buying more puts for downside protection. The increase in put volume confirms that downside hedging is intensifying. Top 5 Strikes by Volume: 6000 Put (128.67K contracts) 6050 Call (77.35K contracts) 6000 Call (71.31K contracts) 6040 Call (68.04K contracts) 5950 Put (67.57K contracts) Interpretation: Heavy put volume at 6000 suggests this is a key support level. Calls at 6050 & 6000 show traders positioning for potential resistance at these levels. 4. PRIMARY LEVELS (Support & Resistance) Call Resistance: 6200 (far above spot price). Call Resistance (0DTE): 6055 (40.8 points above current price). Put Support: 6000 (14.2 points below). Put Support (0DTE): 6010 (4.2 points below). Interpretation: 6000 is a key support level—if broken, expect further selling. Resistance at 6055-6060 means bounces could struggle around this zone. 5. GAMMA FLIP (HVL - High Volatility Level) HVL (Gamma Flip Level): 6095 (80.8 points above). HVL (0DTE): 6050 (35.8 points above). Interpretation: 6095 is the gamma flip zone—above this, gamma could turn positive, leading to more stability. As long as SPX trades below these levels, we remain in a volatile, bearish regime. 6. TOP GEX STRIKE CHANGES Largest Positive Changes (Increased GEX - More Call Exposure): 6020: +10.23M (+24.58%) 6050: +4.01M (+11.83%) 6015: +3.99M (+18.02%) 6045: +3.53M (+23.67%) 6035: +3.51M (+20.02%) Largest Negative Changes (Decreased GEX - More Put Exposure): 6010: -25.9M (-39.22%) 6000: -10.87M (-11.14%) 5990: -7.89M (-23.78%) 5975: -5.33M (-10.53%) 6055: -4.67M (-85.38%) Interpretation: Biggest GEX drop at 6010 and 6000 → weakening support, making downside moves more likely. GEX increase at 6020-6050 → some resistance is building there, potentially capping rallies. OVERALL TAKEAWAYS 📉 Bearish Bias: The negative gamma condition and put-heavy environment suggest increased volatility and downside pressure. Key downside level: 6000—a break could trigger more selling. Resistance zone: 6050-6060—any bounces may struggle here. Dealers are positioned to sell into weakness, reinforcing potential downward momentum.

SPX Finally Moves, Will 6000 Hold?SPX Finally Moves – But Will 6000 Hold? | SPX Market Analysis 24 Feb 2025 Last week’s market action was like watching a cat decide whether to jump off a shelf—hesitation, commitment, regret, and then chaos. SPX pushed through the bull trigger on Wednesday, only to whip back through the hedge & bear trigger, finally showing some real movement on Friday. But before we get too excited, SPX is still stuck inside a larger range, with 6000 as the next key battleground. Will we see a range breakout or another rejection? Let’s dive in. --- Deeper Dive Analysis: SPX Moves – But Is It Just Another Range Play? Last week gave us plenty of action, but SPX hasn’t truly escaped its larger range yet. 📌 What happened last week? SPX broke the bull trigger on Wednesday 🚀 Immediately flipped back through the hedge & bear trigger 🤦‍♂️ Friday’s move finally opened things up 🔓 Now, we’re eying 6000 as the next decision point. 📌 Two potential setups: ✅ Range Reversal – Price rejects 6000 and moves back inside the range ✅ Breakout Trade – SPX clears 6000, confirming a new leg up Either way, I’ll be watching closely for the next trade setup. VIX Says ‘No Crash… Yet’ 📉 The volatility index (VIX) remains below 20, meaning: No imminent crash signals 🛑 Fear is elevated but not panicking Still room for surprises, but not full-blown chaos (yet!) If VIX jumps past 20 and keeps climbing, then we’ll talk about more extreme downside risk. Overnight Futures – A Small Bounce, But No Turn Yet 🌅 Futures are slightly green, but they don’t confirm: A major bullish turn ❌ A full-blown breakdown ❌ Right now, it’s more noise than signal. What’s Next? 📌 I remain bearish on my income swing trades 📉 📌 Waiting for confirmation—either: Bullish reversal (v-shaped price action shift) 🔄 Bearish breakdown (clean range break below 6000) 🚨 For now, it’s another waiting game—but one that could pay off big when the next major move arrives. --- Fun Fact 📢 Did you know? In 2010, the Flash Crash wiped out nearly $1 trillion in market value in just 36 minutes, only to recover almost entirely by the end of the day. The culprit? A single trader’s algorithm running wild. 💡 The Lesson? Sometimes, market chaos isn’t about fundamentals—it’s just a rogue algorithm losing its mind.

Hellena | SPX500 (4H): LONG to 100% Fibo lvl 6214.4.Colleagues, I believe that the upward movement is not over yet and the lower and middle order wave “3” is not yet complete. This is a good chance to go long, but it should be remembered that even though a correction to the uptrend line is possible, I do not recommend selling. The target area is the 6214.4 level area - this is slightly higher than the 100% Fibonacci extension level. Manage your capital correctly and competently! Only enter trades based on reliable patterns!

$SPY short term top downside from $521 to $481AMEX:SPY is looking like it put in a short term top here. I originally only thought that we had the potential to fall to $545 or so, but now looking at the chart, I think we have the possibility of falling farther. The two targets that I'm looking for on the downside are $524.35 and 481.18. Let's see if they get hit over the coming weeks. If they hit, it'll be the ultimate buying opp as I think from there, we're likely to see SPY over $700 in the coming year or two.

SPX: another not-happy FridayMarkets have been playing a bit of a ping-pong game since the start of the year. Uncertainty is never a good world for financial markets, so it was this Friday. In the same week, the S&P 500 reached a fresh, new all time highest level at 6.148 and a significant pull-back on Friday. One of the extremely spooky works since recently are tariffs, which a new US Administration is using too frequently, for the taste of investors. The S&P 500 lost 1,71% at Friday's trading session, while other US indices were also somewhere in this range. The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment was published during the week, showing not some happy figures about current consumer sentiment. In addition, consumers are expecting further increase in inflation, higher from previous releases. The 5 years inflation expectations currently stands at 3,5%, for which analysts are noting, is the highest level since 1995. The highest contributors to index drop on Friday were tech companies, which are currently ones which hold the highest participation. Other sectors were also affected, however, those related to major supplies were the ones that gained during the week. The consumer sector, healthcare and utilities were the ones that investors bought the most. It was sort of a move toward basics. As analysts are noting, the defensive sectors are the ones which gain during times of fears on future economic growth. The week ahead will be a sensitive one for financial markets, as PCE data are scheduled for a release. The start of the week might bring some relaxation from Friday's negative sentiment, however, it will not be a sign that the positive sentiment is back, but only a sort of short term positioning for PCE data. Depending on final PCE data, a higher move could be expected toward either side. The higher market sensitivity will continue as long as uncertainties are existing either through trade tariffs, or through inflation data.

SPX at a Critical Decision Point: Breakout or Breakdown?The S&P 500 has been respecting this rising channel (green support and red resistance) for an extended period. Currently, price action is testing the mid-range, making this a key level for future movement. Possible Scenarios: 1️⃣ Bullish Continuation → If SPX holds above the green trendline, we could see a breakout towards the upper resistance (red trendline), targeting 7,000+. 2️⃣ Bearish Breakdown → A loss of the trendline support could trigger a correction, potentially sending price towards 5,500 or lower. 🔍 Watch for: ✔️ Confirmation of support holding (bullish signals). ✔️ Breakdown and retest of the green trendline as resistance (bearish signals). ⚡ Trade Idea: • Long on bullish confirmation above trendline. • Short on breakdown + retest of support as resistance.

Market Alert: Potential Downside Ahead! The S&P 500 (SPX) just closed with a strong bearish candle, dropping -104 points (-1.71%), signaling a possible shift in momentum. The index is now testing a key support level near 6,000, and if this level breaks, we could see a sharper pullback. 📉 What’s Happening in the Market? 1️⃣ Rising Interest Rate Concerns – The Federal Reserve remains cautious about inflation, and recent economic data suggests they may keep rates higher for longer. This puts pressure on equities, especially high-growth stocks. 2️⃣ Earnings Season Uncertainty – Many companies are reporting mixed earnings, with some missing expectations. Weak guidance from major corporations could fuel more downside. 3️⃣ Geopolitical Tensions & Market Volatility – Ongoing global uncertainties, such as geopolitical conflicts and supply chain disruptions, are adding risk-off sentiment to the market. 4️⃣ Technical Breakdown Risks – The SPX is currently sitting near critical support at 6,000. If this level fails, we could see further selling pressure toward 5,920 - 5,880 and possibly as low as 5,773. 🔥 What to Watch Next? ✅ Can the market hold 6,000 and bounce? Or will sellers push prices lower? ✅ Watch for reactions around 6,068 - 6,100—if the index struggles here, more downside is likely. ✅ Increased volatility means risk management is key—stay cautious, and don’t chase trades! ⚠️ Bottom Line: The market is at a turning point. If downside momentum continues, we could see a bigger correction. Stay alert and manage risk accordingly!

Hurry Up and Wait - The Markets Favourite GameHurry Up and Wait – The Market’s Favourite Game | SPX Market Analysis 21 Feb 2025 These kangaroo markets just won’t quit. Every time we break out of one range, the Bollinger Bands pinch again, locking us into another one. Meanwhile, other indexes fell out of bed, but SPX? It’s clinging on by "the Bulls". When will it finally open up and run? Who knows—but until then, I’ll keep finding new ways to say ‘hurry up and wait’. --- Markets Keep Bouncing, But Not Breaking It’s like watching a kangaroo on a trampoline—lots of movement, no real progress. SPX tries to push out of one range 🏋️‍♂️ Bollinger Bands pinch again, trapping price in a new range 🔄 Other indexes have fallen, but SPX refuses to follow This makes trading tricky, as every potential breakout is quickly absorbed into another consolidation. The Bollinger Band Pinch – What It Means When Bollinger Bands tighten, they signal: 📌 A period of low volatility 📌 A potential breakout coming – but direction unknown 📌 Traders getting frustrated waiting for a real move Normally, I’d switch to Tag ‘n Turn setups during breakouts, but with volatility still tight, I’ll stick to my 6 money-making patterns instead. For now, it’s all about waiting for a clean break—no fake moves, no forced trades. Final Thoughts – When Will the Market Open Up? 📌 The big move is coming—we just don’t know when. 📌 SPX is clinging on, but other indexes are weakening—watch for cracks. 📌 Bollinger Bands are tightening—when they expand, volatility will return. Until then? It’s back to ‘hurry up and wait’. --- Fun Fact 📢 Did you know? In 2015, the New York Stock Exchange halted trading for nearly four hours—and the official reason? A “technical glitch”. 💡 The Lesson? Even the biggest, most advanced markets can freeze up, just like we’re seeing with these tight, choppy conditions.

S&P 500 Faces Rejection at Key Resistance?📉 False Breakout or Consolidation? S&P 500 hit 6,129 but failed to hold above it, retreating to 6,090 (-0.75%). This level marks a key resistance zone, with sellers stepping in to cap gains. 🔍 Key Technical Levels: Resistance: 6,129 → Previous high, acting as a short-term ceiling. Support: 6,018 (50-day EMA) → First area bulls want to defend. 5,900 → Stronger structural support if momentum weakens. 📊 Momentum Check: RSI at 54.86 → Neutral, room for both upside and downside. Price remains above the 50-day EMA, keeping the uptrend intact for now. 🚀 What’s Next? Bulls need a decisive close above 6,129 to confirm a breakout. A rejection here could trigger consolidation or a pullback toward the 50-day EMA. Watching for either a breakout confirmation or a deeper retest of support levels. -MW

SPX Target 6270 - Can It Get There?SPX Targets 6270 – But Can It Get There? | SPX Market Analysis 20 Feb 2025 The SPX is climbing like a caffeinated squirrel... ok, maybe not. It’s more like a slightly confused sloth trying to find second gear!..., while DJX and RUT are stuck in the mud. The breakout move we’ve been waiting for has arrived, and now the question is—does it have enough fuel to hit 6270, or will it stumble and trigger my hedge at 6100? Bollinger Bands are too tight for reliable setups, so I’m sticking with my 6 money-making patterns until volatility expands. Let’s break it all down… --- SPX Deeper Dive Analysis: 📈 SPX is Soaring (like a fat pigeon!) – But the Other Indexes Aren’t Joining the Party While SPX is off making new highs, its friends DJX and RUT seem to have lost their invitations. DJX is struggling to gain meaningful ground 📉 RUT can’t even catch an uptick, making it the weakest of the bunch ❌ Meanwhile, SPX is leading the way, with a clear breakout in play A closely following NDX is nipping at SPX's heals 💡 Breakout Confirmed – But Can It Hold? Scenario #1 from our previous discussions has unfolded—the range has broken out. Target: 6270 🎯 Hedge trigger: 6100 in case the move fails This is the good kind of waiting—waiting for profits to materialise 🔄 Why I’m Avoiding Tag ‘n Turn Setups Right Now Normally, after a breakout, I’d shift back to Tag 'n Turn setups. But there’s a problem… Bollinger Bandwidth is too tight, making moves too fast Price is flipping from one side of the bands to the other A Bollinger Band pinch is forming, indicating more compression before expansion So, what’s the plan? ✅ I’ll continue to use my 6 money-making patterns ✅ I’ll wait for volatility to expand before returning to Bollinger setups ✅ No forced trades—only high-probability moves 🚀 Final Takeaway? The breakout is here, the target is set, and the plan is clear. Now, it’s time to let the market do its thing and wait for the move to play out. --- Fun Fact 📢 Did you know? In 2018, Amazon briefly became a $1 trillion company—but it only stayed there for a few hours before dropping back below the threshold. 💡 The Lesson? Even the biggest breakouts can be short-lived—just because a stock (or index) makes a new high doesn’t mean it will stay there forever. Always have a plan—targets and hedge triggers matter.
