SPX gapped up, no Fri sell off repeate, main support is at 4025We didnt get a move down off am highs as I was hoping for, gap up above 4020-35 happen, so the move lower is off the table.
Now 4025 and 4015 are 2 main supports to hold for next week to continue advance. 4085 is next target.
This still can be a fakeout and if we close below am open, and especially below 4015SPX it will be bearish and I will be looking for 3925 to test early next week before push to higher levels.
I got stopped on half short from overnight and holding the other half for the fakeout scenario.
Will hedge at 4025 and 4015 level (will cut if we close below 4015)
So far the pathway up is in play, I dont expect much lower till 4125-35 test and ideally 4200
P.S. Dont forget to like my posts, so it gets pushed up on TV for others to see as well.
Thanks in advance!

ICT concepts to enter this buy idea on SPX500.. Have this bias for SPX500.. I think we are gonna have a bullish week to try to target some of the previous buy stops above and get back some liquidity before selling off once more lower.. As of right now bullish until this trade idea gets proved false.
SPX/SPY Fib Retracement Key Levels I've been watching SPX/SPY very closely to see which direction it decides to go through the rest of the year. We are at a VERY IMPORTANT range. Initially the top trend line acted as resistance and short bias looked to be validated with the reject of the 0.681 golden zone. You can see a bounce off the shorter term long bias 0.681 retracement almost perfectly from this years low. Short term long needs to hold 0.618 for us to see retest of highs trend line. This will be the best entry point for short position into the rest of the year as a retest to break out of channel is going to likely reject. Ultimately SHORT bias long term , potentially LONG bias short term .
Short Term PT $420
Long Term PT $334
SPX and NDX made higher lowsDouble bottom here, ideally we go hard up on Tuesday.
Im in with lotto Sep 7th calls as well as some ES longs, short NQ from higher level, keeping as a hedge
Its a panic cycle week as well as a directional change week, so a straight move up is not ruled out
Have a good weekend.
XLP/SPY indicates probability for a move to the upside higherIdea is based on the XLP/SPY chart using the inverted relationship between them. Since we have just made a strong move to the upside in XLP/SPY during the latest bear market, price has extended well above the 50 MA, a retracement towards it is warranted and leads to the SPY moving higher historically. The probability for a move to the upside at least in the short term is therefore higher! If we drop below the 50 MA and close back above it on the weekly chart, that would be an excellent place to short the SPY again! However, if we break below it and continue to the downside, then expect continuation to all time high.
SPX has more room to go when NQ hit all the targetsSPX can stretch all the way down to 3900-10 if it wants to.
Maj support cluster is at 3910-50SPX
Today is the reversal cycle day, so I take what I have.
Main resistance now is 4025, above it, we can fly.
Mid of the channel hit, not shown on the chart
Monthly resistance close is 4156SPX, so must watch on closing level, its tomorrow...
Im long
SPX needs a Gap Down below 4255-57 tomorrow...Quick update.
The price needs to gap down tomorrow below 4255-57 to confirm the top being in place.
Usually this type of the move trap bulls for long, so as long as we gap down hard tomorrow, I can mark the top being in.
There is still a room to squeeze to 4330-34, but Im not really playing it unless I see a good setup.
If we gap up tomorrow, will have to revisit my charts.
Tomorrow should continue today's day, we had a reversal to downside and if this is real we should see a low on the 22nd-23rd, small bounce 23-24th and last low or higher low on the 25-26th
24th is a panic cycle day! Mark it on your calendar
Numbers to watch tomorrow:
- Maj resistance is the same - 4308.50 (on closing level)
- First main support is at 4255-57
- 4220 and next is at 4175
- Ideal target of this move is at 4125-46
Ideally we should see something similar of a move from EOM Mar high. You can revisit a gap down below 4520, which was retested and never seen since after.
Tomorrow's move should be a start of the first move down, fits with cycle lows into 22-23rd or 25-26th, then a rally into Labour Day high/lower high.
The week of Sep 5th is a panic cycle week, so a gap down from there is expected to trap all the bulls, especially after staying long over the long weekend.
Have a good night
spx500Hello everyone,
We have a very clear 3 wave structure here that has extended the 3rd over the 1.618% fib extension after breaking up from the ending diagonal in the intermediate 4th wave position. I wouldn't expect SP500 to fill the 3,800 or 3,600 gap anytime soon guys. So I think 4,000 or maybe , possibly over shot 3,900 worst case IMO. The 1 fib level will likely hold as strong support, but let's see.
We also know our buddy Jim Crammer is bearish, so there's that...
SPX Aug 17th updateExpected a high being hit today, we got it. Expected a close below 4308.5SPX, we got it. Expected a red close, got it only on NASDAQ and Small Caps.
As long as we stay below 4340SPX we should see lower is my next expectation.
VIX (see my update earlier) has a clear ISH pattern.
Main support is 4177SPX
Tomorrow must watch numbers are
- 4285 and especially 75, failure of holding the last number can be a good sign of the local top, need much lower to mark the maj top!
- Resistance is the same 4308.50 on the closing level.
- Upper target zone is around 4330-34SPX in case it wants to tag it, Im not playing it and will be looking for a short setup instead.
I expect this to dive down to 4150+- SPX zone by the 24th-26th and one more push to lower low /double top, or if broken above - 4425+ sometime early Sep.
Not favouring the second scenario, but can be a case for the larger B wave top in Jan.
Im not in the camp of new ATH's and the lows being in, I dont change my count to fit the price or put many counts to be right regardless.
If Im wrong at some point (everyone makes mistakes), I will admit and only then change my view. We are not even close to have that view changed at this point.
Also want to bring the attention to Sep and hope many will make a note of this warning - there is a chance we could crash that month and my charts do reflect that.
Will it be serious or not as much, I have no idea, but I see some serious signs of something happening that month.
You have been warned.
Have a good night
SPX, time for a trend decision. Up or down? SPX coming to the top resistance where it previously got rejected (2x).
Also looking at a similar fractal, as well as de MACD showing similar movement.
Price is either gonna go bullish here and breakout, or we're gonna see a big downwards move..
What do you think?
SPX is in the target and maj resistance zoneNothing much to add since my most recent updates.
The price is in the target zone I had for a while now. Was expecting a good size pullback, never happened.
Im still in some trapped ES short, as well as RTY from Fri close and some SPY puts.
We got right into the Yellow dotted line I had for months now, its the main resistance line and right in our 4308SPX target zone.
Maj daily resistance is at 4308-35SPX
Maj support (and I expect it to hold) is at 4000-08SPX
Might stretch into 4930-50, but low 4k has higher chance in holding on the upcoming pullback.
As noted on the RTY chart, there is a chance we wont tag 200MA, too many are looking for one to get hit.
We should get some sort of pullback next week, how deep it will be, I dont know, but it can be quite fast.
Maj turn dates are the 16th and week of 29th, Im assuming that week will mark the high, might be lower high.
We have 9 unfilled gaps since Jun low, I expect those to get filled by Oct low.
Im expecting a double bottom or a marginal lower hit in to below 3450SPX zone before a good size rally into EOY.
Sep comes up as a panic month, I expect a good size reversal that month and it can get quite ugly in Oct.
I see some serious market movers Sep/Oct time, might stretch into Nov Midterm elections.
Those in power will do everything to rig it, so expect more international instability as well as something serious in the states.
Interesting and very dangerous times we live in.
Very important to gap down tomorrow to mark temp high.
Expect a counter trend next 2 weeks into week of 29th.
2 scenarios Im watching:
- top in main target zone of 4308-35SPX
- top at 4425SPX in case it wants to extend into mid of Sep
V-Shaped Recovery......is highly unlikely.
The chart above shows the entire price history of the S&P 500. Each candle is a 6-month period. The channel that you see is a regression channel. It shows how far above or below the mean the stock market is at a given time.
At the close of 2021, the stock market hit the 2-sigma deviation from the mean. This is about as over-extended as it ever has been.
The Federal Reserve has been pumping the stock market up for decades with lower and lower interest rates and quantitative easing:
Looking at this 6-month chart, if it were a daily chart, how would you trade it?
The yearly chart is no less concerning. Here's the yearly chart of the S&P 500:
I am not posting this to incite trading based on fear. Never buy or sell based on emotions. I still hold plenty of long positions myself since yearly charts are not to be traded on. These charts, however, call for extreme defensive plays. Have your stop losses in place. Trade strategically and consider how much risk you're taking for how much reward.
It's highly unlikely that we're going to have a V-shaped recovery in the stock market and that we will casually blast through new all-time highs for years.
You can read my post below about the extreme yield curve inversion that has already occurred, and my post on why I believe the charts are saying a significant recession is coming.
SPX quick updateNothing much I can add, but few things:
Lots of evidence of the market hitting the ceiling
- SPX is at 61.8 fib retracement, very important to watch
- Added a trendline off Feb 2020 and Sep 2020 highs, we are right at the resistance zone.
- Main target (4308-30) is getting close to hit with no 4th wave pullback but relentless grind in a C wave up.
- Weekly bullish reversal is only at 4385SPX on closing level, we are not going to hit it today.
- Daily is at 4308, same as the main target, also a gap to fill.
- MACD, RSI, Stoch etc are all in overbought territory, can last for several days more to hit that 4308+ target
- We have 9 gaps on the downside left, I expect those to get fill in Sep/Oct
- VIX is giving another long signal and sell to equities, need to watch the close below the Bollinger band to confirm
Im only day trading and have few ES under the water I m holding.
Will be short over the weekend with NQ, especially if we reverse into the close and close below the highs.
My internet is still very bad and technicians are only coming tomorrow end of the day, cant trade much in this environment but using my cell data for small trades
