SPX - Limited Upside LikelyThere's a ton of bears out there. There's no doubt about that. I am focusing on the structure here...
Now that the narrative is there, I am going to outline what I currently see here. In the next couple days, it looks like SPX is going to find some key resistance at the 3900-3920 area based on a measurement of what I predict is wave 3. This means we've got another low to put in before the year is over. Note - 3795 is likely not the low of this move down that we've seen since December 13th.
Corrections are complicated and are designed to confuse you and steal money from overleveraged traders without any plans. This is no different. Plenty of bears got their faces ripped off today so you need to be able to adapt to change as it comes.
Watch the 5 wave advance from the lows that we have here. Wait for a pullback, and then a completion of the cycle at 3915-3920 area. That's our 50% internal retracement. We have an area at the 38.2% currently which is the highest probability area for a wave 4 rejection (rejection in this case specifically).
One day at a time we will continue to dominate the market.

SPX Model Trading Plans for WED. 12/21
Next Support Level - Confirmed
In our trading plans published on Monday, 12/19, we stated: "...the index is now testing the next key support level around the 3825-3835 range. Our models are indicating a range-bound trading while the index is trading within the broader 3810-3830 range on a daily close basis. If you are short, you might want to take profits on a break out of this range. If you are itching to go long, you might want to wait until the range is broken out of to the upside".
That support level is confirmed as held by our models, and if you followed the plans you should be long going into the open today. If not, you might want to wait to go long as our models indicate range-bound trading while the index is below 3866. If you are short, you might want to take profits and go flat.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional trading models closed out the short from Thursday, 12/15 (opened at 3893.51) yesterday with a profit of 78.01 index points and are currently flat. Models indicate staying flat until otherwise indicated.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.
Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.
Trading Plans for WED. 12/21:
Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 3838, 3848, or 3866 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 3860, 3843, or 3830 with a 10-point trailing stop.
Models indicate long exits on a break below 3863 or 3834, and short exits on a break above 3820. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:40 am ET or later.
By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention).
To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

gg?12 year count here,
wave 5 algo target has been reached.
was hoping for an expansion, but there's a chance we aren't going to get it.
if the top has indeed been put in, the downside target on spy sits at $142
this will take many years to play out, and it isn't going to go straight down either.
--------
ps. i'm not saying that the top is in, but i'm saying it is possible.
👇
--------
maybe these are the real trials we must undergo before we truly can get to the treasure.
S&P500 got that short so now waiting..So sent this bearish pattern to a friend of mine the other day before it actually to be turned out right, so now I think we are going a for a new low 3.3k seems like coming soon, generally the market is bad, however kind of a bit late to short, so imo cashing out and waiting to long/buy again seems like the way to go and imo 3.2-3.3k seems like the buy zone for me, good luck and merry christmas everyone! :)
SPX quick weekend updateIm on the road all day today, my connection flight is being delayed over 4hrs now.
Had no time do a research, so can be wrong or can be right:)
First of all Fri low came exactly on CPI gap open! I did tweet about it on Fri that I expected that number to be at least good for a bounce. It just stopped there.
Closing above afternoon highs is usually a bullish sign going into Monday.
But making new lows on Fri means that more weakens to come next week, which I do expect to happen with a low to come on the 22nd.
21st is a winter solstice, can mark a low or a high, I expect a low in 3750SPX zone.
My best thinking is that we either make a low to 3808-12SPX tomorrow or just go up from the open to 3950-60SPX high but Tuesday am.
There is also a resistance at 3900-11SPX and 3933SPX.
If we do see 3808SPX tested in am, I will be only long for a Tuesday high, then short for the 22nd low.
Timing is everything in out business, so that would be my plan for tomorrow's trading.
Hope I get home at least not as late.
BTW there will be a big announcement tomorrow, stay tuned!
Have a profitable week!
S&P500 LOOKS GOOD HERE ON MONTHLYTwo strong technical factors are giving the S&P500 support to continue up over the long term. Bouncing off the MA200 and a direct hit of the 50% fib retrace means the downside will have a low probability going forward. Of course, macro factors could play a role in changing its course but as it stands I am fairly confident this is a one-way ticket. As mentioned above, we could see a small downside to 3700 -+ before the continuation to the upside. Of course, you should remember this could take some time as we are looking at a monthly chart, but basically, I'm saying limited downside from here and a greater percentage of upside. This would also work with economic timing and the so-called recession people are saying we are heading for, this may be so or maybe not so, but most likely more of a mild recession from an American point of view. (Other countries may not be so lucky.) So all this FUD may end just as the S&P500 wants to go up, and then you are looking at fireworks, and the timing of that is what we must look out for.
SPX - Fork in the roadCurrently the S&P 500 can be seen in 3 views. I have a primary view and two alternates:
First, the yellow path - my primary. After the FED comes out today, I think it'll cause a pullback in the market, but it won't be what everybody is expecting. I expect the pullback to complete a small correction from the top and pull back to around 3880-3900. Bears will get frothy and will be late to the short game. From there, a spike on "Black Friday" can take markets up to my target of 4150.
Second, the green path. Difference here is an ABC correction vs a WXY correction. Minor difference, but this one sees us in a wave 3 going up to wave 5 at the same 4150 target in the first point. What I like about this count is the ABC in wave X for the first point doesn't look great as wave C into X doesn't look geometrically pleasing to me. What I don't like about this being a 1-2 is the move into wave 1 doesn't look super impulsive and looks corrective. That's why I put this as my second favorite count. Still with the same target at 4150 and probably on Friday.
Last but not least is my 3rd count which isn't on the chart. It basically has the top being in ~4040 and we're in a bearish 1-2 pattern to the downside. I think this is the least probable at the moment. The move down from the top into the 38.2% retracement looks very corrective and doesn't look impulsive at all. If this is true, however, the target to the downside will come lower than we expect.
Ok, now what?
Now that we're at this critical juncture, a fork in the road, we have multiple scenarios that can play out here. Most of them have targets higher short term. Ultimately I think we're going to stay down here and possibly make a new yearly low before mid-December. Best case scenario, we're building a leading diagonal to create a start of a new major uptrend. Worst case scenario, we go down to 3300-3500 by EOY.
Our options analysis looking into the next few weeks shows the following:
Call/Put $ value and not Open Interest
11/25/2022: 92.2/7.8
12/2/2022: 85.7/14.3
12/9/2022: 75.9/24.1
12/16/2022: 98.7/1.3 (OpEx)
12/16/2022: 96/4 (normal Weekly)
12/23/2022: 68/32
SPX500 - Bearish bounce inside descending wedge, more downside?SPX500, not a ton of volume, but has clearly made a higher low and bounced off the top of this long term trend line. Looking for a new low somewhere around end of January then decision time from there. Of course any of this cold be invalidated with a massive move either direction.
I would be careful listening to the news, as they seem to only be able to come up with reasons that something happened after the fact. Charts tell the true story.
Selling SPX at previous support.US500 - Intraday - We look to Sell at 3918 (stop at 3988)
Trades at the lowest level in 25 days.
The 161.8% Fibonacci extension is located at 3861 from 4140 to 3968.
The medium term bias remains bearish.
Bespoke support is located at 3504.
Our profit targets will be 3745 and 3505
Resistance: 3918 / 3958 / 4140
Support: 3861 / 3746 / 3503

spx 12-15 [evening update\ alternative]good evening,
what a week right?
got an alternative setup right here
---
take a look at this pitchfork pull from ath
👇
it does seem like we're attempting to back-test it from above, after a successful break-out.
some bullish divergence is present.
---
take a look at the us dollar,
which is playing out a 4th wave right now,
of the 5 wave sequence to the downside
👇
---
could it be possible that we're still in a wave 4 of the 5 wave sequence?
yep, it is possible - just less probable than the top being in locally.
it would be quite outrageous if we did end up expanding up to 4300 into the end of this year,
so expect the unexpected.
---
downside target on this smaller e.f at 3860~3840.
✌
SPX closed at important support lineLook where we closed today, exactly on the support trendline
The CPI gap open is at 3865, opening below tomorrow will flush in am down to 3808.
Holding here can spike up the price for a gap up open.
Thats is why I have no strong conviction on tomorrow's open and direction, like I had on yesterday's close.
So I will leave it for the night monkey's do decide.
Ideally we run up into 2am and sell from there.
Regardless tomorrow will be wild imo
SPX so far so good from yesterday's updateI was sleeping in today after my BD celebration yesterday and what a present I got:) The only issue is I didnt short 2am last night as was looking to do it and tweeted about it!
Good I got some of those lotto puts (tweeted yesterday as well)
We got a gap down I was looking for, hope people are not trapped long since yesterday as I warned so many times as well as tweeted!
Now the question if SPX gets below 3832-31, then it should close at the lows and the next support will be at 3808 (target I was looking for for last several days)
Usually these types of moves are ending up with closing at the lows, so if we get a bounce, I will short it to exit either tomorrow am or AHs
spx 12-15 updategood afternoon,
recently posted my macro outlook -
---
just building on that idea here:
👇
potentially, the chop we've been experiencing over the last few weeks was some kind of expanded flat of an (x) wave.
if true, this drop is close to being concluded.
estimated downside target on this move sits at 3800.
---
if all goes as planned,
the expansion target to the upside will sit between 4400~4500 into the new year.
✌
SPX Model Trading Plans for THU. 12/15Bull Trap from Last Week Re-testing Key Support
In our last trading plans published on Wed., 12/07, we wrote: "Last two sessions turned the recent spike up into a bull trap. However, our models are indicating that the index is likely to find some support around the 3910-3915 range. Longs might want to wait to see if the index holds this level, and shorts need to be nimble in taking their profits if it does". Our models went into an indeterminate state since then and have come out with some trading levels only this morning.
If you went to sleep after reading our last trading plan and are waking up today, you would not realize that a full week of trading transpired since then, as we are exactly where we were then! The bounce from our published support level proved only short-lived post the FOMC rate decision yesterday, and the index is feeling heavy again. With the key support level of 3900-3910 in the range again, BOTH bulls and bears need to be nimble in any positions they open today, as any bounce or breakdown could be swift and spiky.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional trading models indicate going long on a break above 3955 or 3925 with a 35-point trailing stop and a hard stop on a break below 3940, and going short on a break below 3930 or 3895 with a 40-point trailing stop and a hard stop on a break above 3913. Models also indicate instituting a break-even hard stop once a position gets into a 10-point profit level.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.
Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.
Trading Plans for THU. 12/15:
Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 3955, 3948, or 3915 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 3940, 3933 or 3910 with a 10-point trailing stop.
Models indicate long exits on a break below 3963, and short exits on a break above 3896. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 11:01 am ET or later.
By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention).
To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

The 4th Horseman of the Apocalypse"When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth."
Congratulations. If you've been following my ideas then you've done very well for yourself this. Sadly, all good things must come to an end and we must bring this bull run to a close. However, not without some spectacular fireworks at the end to give everyone hope things are turning around. Overleveraged governments and companies will collapse within the next 3 months causing spillover across the globe, glorious. I'm scaling into puts as we've hit the peak of what should be expected (don't be surprised if we get 400) and am going all in on this play on the 24th. God speed to you all and I hope to see you alive in the apocalypse once the dust has settled.

spx 12-14 [evening update]good evening,

nice rejection, but not nice enough imo
closed my short on the initial dip, as it just didn't feel right.

likely to consolidate over the next week or two before heading on up to the og target.
alt path has us raiding near the lows for a liquidity grab .
opex this friday has 3.7 trillion $$ in options expiring,
with a max pain between 3900~4000 - so i don't really expect anything too crazy to happen until after.
✌
SPX pathway into 19th lowThis is the best I can come up with today. i didnt do much research today.
Want to see a lower low in am and bounce after the Interest rate decision, then the whole move will be faded after Powell starts talking.
Short around 2am, buy am low for the interest rate decision and sell that rip (if we get one) right before Powell starts talking.
Thats my plan for tomorrow
I have a price to short at 4044-47SPX and 4080SPX, those are the levels to watch, especially the second number.
ES resistance is at 4090-99
Its my BD tomorrow, might be less active, but will try to tweet my trades.
Resistance levels are the same
- 4028-34SPX
- 4100-4110SPX
Main support on closing level is 3933SPX.
I still think we should see 3748SPX gap filled this month and 3212SPX early (Q1) next year
