Weekly plan: ESH2025NYSE:ES FUTURES 3/3/2025 6012>> 6056>>> 6083-93 Weekly pivot: 5970 , Now Trading @ 5957 5919>> 5878>>> 5828 CONTEXT: NYSE:ES closed Friday's session with massive spike to the upside. Now NYSE:ES is back inside the previous balance zone that extends to 214 points range with 6056 for half back, however we need to be cautious since daily chart still is One Time Framing Down (OTFD) which would end if NYSE:ES is able to recapture or trade above 5971, at that point we will need to redraw daily balance zone. @everyone

SPX: break of long term trend-lineThe game of nerves could be one of descriptions of developments on the US equity markets during the previous week. It was a heavy week due to a significant drop in the value of the S&P 500 but also other US equity indexes. The index declined about 1% during the previous week, and 1,4% since the beginning of February. Friday brought back significant buyers, where the index managed to end the week at the level of 5.954. The lowest weekly level was at 5.840. Tech companies were trying to hold, however, the majority ended February in a negative territory. Tesla is one of the most hit companies, with a weekly loss of around 16%. Analysts are noting that this represents the highest weekly loss of TSLA since December 2022. Other large companies also had significant drop, where Nvidia lost around 10%, while Palantir was down by around 19%, after recently reaching the historically highest level. On the other hand, companies within the financial sector performed in a positive manner, rising 1,3% for the week. When looking at the daily chart of S&P 500, the major support line was clearly breached. This line connects historical lows from October 2023, August 2024 and January 2025. It has been clearly breached on Thursday, however, Friday trading session brought the index back toward this line, but this time from the down side. Whether Friday's positive sentiment will continue is to be seen on Monday. For the moment the US equity market is under strong influence of geopolitical topics and potential trade tariffs. In addition, it should be considered that NFP data will be published in a week ahead, which might influence some higher volatility.

Selling Premium Going into Costco EarningsGiven Costco’s historical tendency for minimal post-earnings stock movement, along with inflated IV in the options market, selling premium via a bear call spread is a high-probability, risk- managed strategy to profit from an expected IV crush and minimal price movement following earnings. Key Points Supporting the Thesis: 1. Historical Price Movement: Over the past 4 years, Costco’s stock has experienced an average post-earnings price movement of only 1.24%. The majority of moves have been within a modest range of -1% to +2%. This indicates that despite earnings announcements, the stock tends to remain within a predictable price range, minimizing the potential for significant directional price swings. 2. Implied Volatility and Overpricing of Options: Currently, the options market is pricing in a 4.6% move for Costco’s stock post-earnings. Given Costco’s historical price movement patterns, this is an overestimation of potential volatility. IV tends to collapse after earnings announcements. 3. Costco’s High Valuation: Costco is currently trading at a P/E ratio of 61, which is significantly higher than historical levels. This suggests that the stock is already expensive relative to its earnings potential, making it less likely to experience a massive upward movement after earnings. The high valuation also means that even strong earnings may not drive significant upside, further increasing the likelihood of a muted post-earnings reaction. 4. Earnings Catalysts and Market Behavior: Costco’s earnings reports historically have had limited impact on the stock’s price due to the company’s stable revenue and earnings growth. Investors have already priced in much of the growth potential, leading to minimal surprise reactions to earnings releases. The combination of low historical price movement and high IV makes this a prime environment for selling premium, as the likelihood of large moves is low, while option prices remain high.

Hellena | SPX500 (4H): LONG to resistance area of 6140.Dear Colleagues, price has gone lower than I thought it would and now we need to redraw the waves. Apparently, the price has updated the minimum of wave “2”. Therefore, I believe that the price will soon continue the upward movement in wave “3” anyway. The “ABC” correction seems to be completed and the 5915 area served as support for the second time. I expect the price to touch this area once again and then continue to the resistance area of 6140. Or it will immediately start moving towards this area. Manage your capital correctly and competently! Only enter trades based on reliable patterns!

S&P500, US GDP grew by 2.3% in Q4 The U.S. GDP grew by 2.3% annually in Q4, confirming the initial estimate and meeting market expectations. S&P (US500) index pair price action sentiment appears bullish, supported by the longer-term prevailing uptrend. The recent intraday price action appears to be a sideways consolidation after a retest of an all-time high on 19th Feb ‘25. The key trading level is at the 5918 level, the consolidation price range and also the previous resistance is now a newly formed support zone. A corrective pullback from the current levels and a bullish bounce back from the 5918 level could target the upside resistance at 6018 followed by the 6060 and 6106 levels over the longer timeframe. Alternatively, a confirmed loss of the 5918 support and a daily close below that level would negate the bullish outlook opening the way for a further retracement and a retest of 5866 support level followed by 5827 and 5777.

$SPY $SPX Pullback to Gap Fill? I've been waiting for a rocket to AMEX:SPY $630 but my monthly tells me that February wants to close red. Here is my daily with a fib that we cant seem to hold above although today we did close above once I have been waiting patiently in this box unlike others, I have constantly reiterated, don't try to be a hero inside of the box. Now that the Box seems to be pushing towards the upside, I can't help but notice we continue printing bearish candles regardless of direction. Today we closed with a Hangman, which begs the question, could we perhaps lean bearish for two of the most bearish weeks of the year in comparison? I'd like to think I'm not wrong here and we will get a spill before anyone gets an expected blow off top. Be careful out there, volatility remains present and the VIX was above the 50DMA last time I checked. If we can get this gap fill and start moving back up, I will be confident in the gap fill being bottom. Seeing as $593 AMEX:SPY alert for bottom never filled, I will have to assume it's still a possibility. Taz out.

Combined US Indexes - Incoming Break or Bounce ?From the previously marked timeline on 18 Feb 2025, just days later, you see the combined US Indexes plummet to cut through the middle decision box (purple), and extrude out below. This formed the double top second peak in essence, and the days following just closed at a two month low. While this might appear Bearish, it is worth noting the lower tails in previous candles which are followed by rallies to the upper resistance. Would this happen the third time? I would beg to differ... In fact, marked out is a critical support point which should be tested in early March. At that point (yellow ellipse), there is a confluence of a previous trend change support, the current TDST and just below that the larger consolidation range support. While the RoVD is slightly bullish, the MACD is dipping with MACD in bearish lower half, and the signal line tapering down towards the boundary into bear territory. In summary, it looks slightly bearish to the critical support point. From there, it would be good to see if it bounces or it breaks down.

SPX Targets Being Hit - More Downside Ahead?SPX & NDX Targets Hit – But More Downside Ahead? | SPX Market Analysis 26 Feb 2025 Is the bear move done, or do we have more downside left? Honestly, who cares when you have a solid process? The bear swing is rolling along nicely, with the first SPX and NDX tranches hitting profit targets. For now, price action is still making lower highs and lower lows, so I’m staying in the bear camp a little longer. But before I think about flipping to bullish trades, I want to see price climb above 5970 and start forming a V-pattern back into the prior range. That said, new trades will be on pause for a few days because my lovely wife has surprised me with a trip to The Lakes! A bit of fresh air, hiking, and spotty internet means I’ll be taking a conservative approach for the rest of the week—but that doesn’t mean I won’t be keeping an eye on things. Let’s break it down. --- Deeper Dive Analysis: The bear swing remains in play, and first targets have been cashed out on both SPX and NDX income swings. Right now, price action continues to show lower highs and lower lows, which keeps me leaning bearish. 📌 Key Market Levels: ✅ SPX breakout target: 5820 – still room for downside ✅ NDX has surpassed multiple breakout targets we discussed in our Fast Forward Mentoring ✅ VIX remains under 20, suggesting no major crash yet, but continued selling is possible For me to flip bullish, I’d want to see: 📌 SPX reclaiming 5970+ 📌 A V-pattern developing back into the prior range 📌 Confirmation that downside momentum is slowing Another reason I’m not rushing into new positions—aside from waiting for confirmation—is that I’ll be in and out of internet connection this week thanks to my wife’s surprise hiking trip to The Lakes! That means I’ll be keeping a more conservative approach, locking in profits where I can and not forcing any trades while I’m away. For now, the plan stays the same: ride the bear swing, cash out at targets, and wait for the next confirmed move before flipping bullish. --- Fun Fact 📢 Did you know? In 2008, Volkswagen briefly became the most valuable company in the world when a short squeeze sent its stock price soaring 400% in just two days—forcing hedge funds to take billions in losses. 💡 The Lesson? Just because a stock (or market) is moving down doesn’t mean it won’t snap violently back up. That’s why having a trade plan is critical—so you’re never caught off guard.

S&P500 Channel Up bottomed. Huge reversal expected.The S&P500 index (SPX) had been trading within a Channel Up pattern since the August 2024 Low and yesterday broke below its 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) for the first time in 20 days. Since January 17, every such break below the 4H MA200 has been a technical buy opportunity. This time it is even stronger as the index appears to be replicating the Channel's first price structure and more specifically Leg (d). What followed after Leg (d) bottomed, was a symmetrical with (b)-(c) +7.05% rise to form a top at (e). The confirmation for this rise came when the 4H MACD formed a Bullish Cross. As a result, we are waiting for this confirmation to continue with additional buying on S&P and target 6330, which would be a +6.22% rise, symmetrical with (b)-(c). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Two Possible Trades - Which one will trigger?Two Possible Trades – Which One Will Trigger? | SPX Market Analysis 25 Feb 2025 Monday came in swinging, continuing Friday’s move and landing price right at the range low target. And what do we get? A beautiful V-shaped reaction—just like we discussed in detail during our Fast Forward mentoring call. Now we have two key scenarios unfolding, mirroring what we saw at the upper boundary of the range during the bullish breakout setup. Will we get a bullish turn, or will the market break down? Triggers are set, charts are marked—now we wait. --- Deeper Dive Analysis: Monday continued Friday’s momentum, taking price straight into the range low target, where we saw a classic V-shaped price reaction. While no pulse bars have appeared yet, the location of this reaction is ideal, lining up perfectly with our 6 money-making patterns. This gives us two possible trade setups, similar to what we saw at the upper range boundary during the last breakout assessment. Scenario 1 – The Bullish Turn ✅ V-shaped reaction at a key level ✅ If confirmed, we could see a move back up into the range ✅ Waiting for additional confirmation (pulse bars, momentum shift, etc.) Scenario 2 – The Bearish Breakout ✅ If price breaks below the range low, it confirms a downside move ✅ A clean breakdown could lead to a continuation of bearish momentum ✅ This would be a mirror setup of the bullish breakout from earlier Right now, both triggers are marked up on the charts, waiting for price to confirm the next move. Until then, it’s a watch-and-wait game, keeping an eye on any momentum shifts or additional signals. --- Fun Fact Did You Know the phrase “buy the rumour, sell the news” originated in the 18th century? It was coined to describe the sharp market moves surrounding Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo. Traders in the know made fortunes buying ahead of the news and selling into the ensuing hype! The phrase became famous when financier Nathan Rothschild supposedly capitalised on early news of Napoleon's defeat in 1815. He bought up British government bonds while others panicked and sold. Once the victory became public, prices soared, making Rothschild a fortune. It’s a timeless reminder to think ahead in the markets.

S&P500: Bottom is close to the 1D MA100. Be ready to buy this.S&P500 just turned bearish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 43.037, MACD = 10.020, ADX = 22.686) as it reversed the early gains and is currently on Friday's low levels, getting closer to the 1D MA100. That is the strongest support level in the last 40 days and according to the 1H RSI, the index may be close to a bottom. The 1H Death Cross typically prices the low on this pattern and we expect a reversal starting tomorrow. Go long and target the LH trendline (TP = 6,120). ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

/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.
