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
Spxanalysis
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

* The FOMC announced a 50bps rate hike today and adjusted their Dot Plot to reflect a 5.1% FFR in 2023 . Markets rallied prior to the announcement and then fell shortly after, though this could have been a short-squeeze, Equity and Crypto markets could see more downward pressure as investors return to Bonds; currently FFR futures traders are anticipating a 75bps rate hike on 02/01/23.
DXY, US Treasurys (mixed) and Natural Gas are up. US Equities, US Equity Futures, Cryptos, Commodities, GBPUSD, EURUSD, JPYUSD, CNYUSD, HSI, NI225, N100 and VIX are down.

Price is currently trending down at $3995 and is at risk of breaking below the uptrend line from 10/13 after being rejected by the 200MA at ~$4035 as resistance. Volume remains Moderate (high) and favored sellers for a second consecutive session; Price briefly touched the VP Point of Control at ~$3970. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $3920, this margin is bearish at the moment. RSI is currently testing 52.68 as support after crossing above it to start the week. Stochastic remains bullish and is currently testing 43.62 resistance. MACD remains bearish and is currently at risk of denying a trough formation at 33.08 support; if it loses 33.08 support then the next support (minor) is at 10.73. ADX is currently trending up slightly at 16 as Price attempts to defend the uptrend line from 10/13, this is neutral at the moment.
If Price is able to bounce here and reclaim support of the uptrend line from 10/13 at ~$4032 (which coincides with the 200MA), it will have to break above $4058 minor resistance in order to retest the upper trendline of the descending channel from November 2021 at ~$4150 as resistance . However, if Price continues to break down here, it will likely retest $3913 minor support . Mental Stop Loss: (one close above) $4058.
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
SPX is at support, bounce to be shorted, resistance at 4040Well who would of know about gap and crap?
My yesterday post had it all covered.
The magnitude of a gap up I had no idea about and it came quite strong, but still made a lower higher into that Yellow resistance line
That Yellow line comes from Feb 2020 high, so its a very important resistance.
I have taken several trades on the open, sold calls and bought puts, now my puts are covered and I will re short at or above 4040SPX
My first main target is at 3953SPX so my bear spread would be buy 3955 and sell 3940 all SPX exp 19th of Dec.
I did post screen short for some trades I took, it was a great trade.
I still have bear spreads I bought at the close yesterday, those should get to BE easily if we see my target today.
There is a support at 3984-88SPX, I will go long there for a bounce with a stop
S&P 500: Shooting star + bearish divergence RSIThe trading session on December 13 was full of important technical signals for the S&P 500 index ( US500 ).
After the release of a lower-than-expected US CPI in November (7.1% vs. 7.3% expected and down from 7.7% in October), the SPX surged to 4,137 points; however, the price action reversed sharply following sellers' profit-taking on the good news and in anticipation of the significant risk posed by tomorrow's FOMC meeting.
The Fed might save hawkish surprises that are not currently priced in by the market, which has factored in a terminal rate of 4.8% in May 2023 and more than 50 basis points of cuts in the second quarter of the year.
Technically speaking, we are seeing key signs that can indicate that the bear market rebound has peaked here and lacks the conviction to continue further gains.
A shooting-star candlestick has formed on the daily chart, which might imply that the short-term trend is about to reverse. A bearish divergence RSI signal, further supports the November bull trend reversal theory, as the oscillator failed to update new highs when prices did.
Additionally, the S&P 500's positive price action was unable to surpass the critical 50% Fibonacci retracement of the 2022 low to high, indicating that the major bearish trend is still in place.
Hawkish shocks from tomorrow's FOMC meeting might cause the SPX to retest support at 3,900 points, with the 50-day moving average (3,860) functioning as the next target.
Its setting up for a gap and crap move opposite of Oct 13thThis is my second try, there was an issue with posting, it reset the whole post back to empty.
All what Im thinking is that there is a possibility of the opposite Oct 13th move.
In this case it can be a gap up and crap all the way into the Fed on Wednesday.
I still cant get 3748 gap to get out from my mind and still believe it will get hit this month at minimum.
Ideally we see 3580 and reverse into the EOY.
There is a window for the low on the 15th and the 19th
Resistance is at 4028-34SPX on the closing level. Above 4034 it will go to 4100 and 4019SPX
Support is at 3933SPX, below it it will go to 3800
SPX is in triangle, closing below Fri close will be a huge tellSPX is in triangle, closing below Fri close will be a huge tell going into tomorrow.
I will be watching the option flow at the end of the day.
I did short NQ before the open and covered half after the open, rest got stopped on afternoon spike.
SPX weekend updateThis will be my weekend update.
Im flying out tonight for my birthday week, will be in transit into second part of Sunday, if will have time, I will update more charts from the airport.
For those who know me from the site I was on for 10 years, I will be seeing Tracey on this vacation trip, so very exited to finally meet her in person
We trade every day and Im very exited to trade with her in person. So stay tuned for Twitter life updates.
Ok lets get back to the report:
I had no chance to check the numbers on Friday, but SPX closed right at my maj support level 3933 (close was at 3934 and futs dived down lower).
- So its either a gap up or gap down scenario for Monday!
- Resistance is at 4028-34 (Maj resistance)
- Maj Support is at 3933 and if lost (gaped down on Monday) then 3850 and 3808SPX (next Maj support) becomes the next target
A close below 3808 makes the ideal target next - 3744-48
As noted on Thursday update, if we wont take 3970 it will be very bearish, the high was at 3977 on Friday and you know where it closed!
So that call was successfully fulfilled.
As noted (grey trendlines above Fri highs) on the chart, you can see that the price rejected some broken trendlines from the bottom, its negative.
Close below Thursday low and at the daily lows is negative by itself and usually ends up with continuation on Monday.
This is a 1h chart, look at RSI and MACD, both look terrible and not even close to be oversold! Another negative signal
Fibs targeting right into 3795-3814SPX zone, inline with my next Maj Support level on closing level - 3808SPX
Europe close was at the highs, so they are trapped, big! Another negative signal
VIX closed above its mid daily Bollinger for 3rd day straight, positive for VIX negative signal for the markets.
Will we get a gap down and a crash like move down on Monday I dont know, but the setup is there.
On the other hand if we open at low 3900 (max down to 3889-95 is allowed) and start reversing, it can be a very strong rally day!
So its all up to 3900 level on Monday open, ideally we just gap down below it and dont even look back (can just re-test 3908SPX max). then I can make a case of just riding the wave all the way down to 3800 all in one day!
CPI is on Tuesday, that would be super interesting, as IF, again Big IF there is at 5% down day on Monday and we close near 3748 gap close, then it can be another great lotto call for another Tuesday big a$$ red open like we had on the Oct 13th. Which will be bought for at least a good size bounce going into the Fed Interest rate decision. Which (Fed day) I think will make the price spike up and then reverse hard. If that happens, then we should see 3580 or low 3600 by Dec 19th.
From Dec 19th low, it will be only a long play for me going into early if not mid Jan.
This is my pathway going into the next week and EOY. Next week its def can be the craziest week this year! Well and I have a birthday coming up next week as well:)
Here is a poll to take, it closes on Sunday midnight, feel free to share with anyone at any site you are on. Lets get a clear picture of the sentiment out there:
strawpoll.com
So far 40 already made their bets
Have a great weekend and do as much research as possible for the next week, as who ever gets trapped, it will be very painful!
Please note I can be totally wrong with my prediction, but I have to trade my own homework.
If the wind changed to a different direction, I will quickly update my view on the current market situation.

* US November PPI came in at 0.3%, a bit higher than the consensus estimate of 0.2% after rising 0.2% in October . This sent Risk-On markets lower as fears of another 75bps rate hike returned to the table. One good thing about November's PPI is that it increased 7.4% from last November, compared to 8.1% in October. Expectations for China's reopening are continuing to materialize as 28 oil tankers remain backlogged in the Black Sea due to Turkey's recent request for insurance checks on Russian oil tankers . Meanwhile the EU faces an energy crisis exacerbated by recent oil price caps and the Russia/Ukraine war that many fear will spill over into a global financial meltdown . However, if US November CPI prints lower and the FOMC follows through on a loose commitment to a 50bps rate hike, selling pressure may be alleviated in the near term.
DXY, US Treasurys, VIX, GBPUSD, JPYUSD, CNYUSD, HSI, NI225, N100, Energy and Metals finished up on the day. US Equities, US Equity Futures, Cryptos, Agriculture and EURUSD finished down.
Key Upcoming Dates: US November CPI 830am EST 12/13; Last FOMC Rate Hike Announcement of 2022 at 2pm EST 12/14; US November New Residential Construction at 830am EST 12/20; US Final Q3 GDP Estimate at 830am EST 12/22; US November PCE Index at 830am EST 12/23; UofM Consumer Sentiment Index at 10am EST 12/23. *
Price finished the day trending down at $3934 after being rejected by the uptrend line from 10/13 as resistance, it's now approaching a retest of $3913 minor support. Volume remains Moderate (moderate) and favored sellers in today's session after favoring buyers in the previous two sessions, a clear indication of PPI induced fears. Parabolic SAR flips bullish at $4090, this margin is mildly bullish at the moment. RSI is currently trending down at 49 after being rejected by 52.68 resistance, the next support is the uptrend line from January 2022 at 46. Stochastic remains bearish after a bullish crossover attempt was rejected at 5, it is currently trending down at 3.5 as it approaches a retest of max bottom. MACD remains bearish and is currently testing 33 support. ADX is currently trending down at 15 as Price continues to see selling pressure, this is mildly bullish at the moment.
If Price is able to bounce here then it will likely retest the uptrend line from 10/13 at ~$4k as resistance . However, if Price continues to break down here, it will likely formally retest $3913 minor support before potentially retesting the 50MA at $3840 as support . Mental Stop Loss: (one close above) $4058.
SPX expect the price to hit 3985-90Looks how its holding the upper part of the cloud, I expect it to break at some point and get into the target box
I wont be long if we hit my target by the close, especially the 4k region
Im slightly long here, for the required target, will add if the price gets to 3950ES
SPX is at support levelNothing much to add since yesterday's updates.
Im looking up for a breakdown trendline test. If its very bearish, then it can just get to 3965-70SPX and stop there.
That would mean much lower levels are coming this month!
Ideal pathway is to test 4k level and reverse down. That would be your shorting opportunity
The whole move off CPI will be erased next!
If it happens before the CPI on the 13th, be ware of a move down to 3400-3500!!!
So be careful if long here! especially if we stop at 3970SPX
SPX is at mid range nowSo far so good from last night update.
Just twitted, that Im not looking to short here, but looking for a long to buy! from lower levels.
Unless the prices goes first to 3990-4k level, then I will short it there
I have set a buy order at 3940ES, that would be 3932-34SPX.
And if take I will add near 3900SPX.
Its a full moon on the 8th, ideally we get a lower high by then
Do not over trade this, wait for the right setup to take!
S&P 500 Building Up A Short PositionRising Wedge, nearing 0.786 fib, major resistance nearby, low momentum above the 200 DMA and upcoming economic reports are all reasons i've been building up a short here on the S&P. Swing trading with a final target at 3400 over a several month timeframe, and a SL at 4160.

* US EMPLOYMENT SITUATION WATCH . If Unemployment reports higher tomorrow (which with the amount of layoffs in corporate USA these days would be reasonable), this would signal that the FOMC's monetary policy is becoming increasingly effective and they will likely go ahead with their 50bps rate hike on 12/14. This may be considered bullish by markets but it would be prudent to expect for a bit of volatility tomorrow regardless. October's PCE Index was reported (6% vs 6.3% in September) at 12:45pm EST today , when it should've been reported at 830am EST today; why this happened, who knows? Why it (Core PCE) reflected exactly what Fed Chair Jerome Powell forecasted in his speech at the Brookings Institute yesterday, who knows? Powell (and the Fed) forecasted Core PCE dropping from 5.1% (5.2% revised) to 5%, that's exactly what was reported today. The 7th GDPNow US Q4 GDP estimate came in at 2.8% down from 4.3% on 11/23 .
Russia Foreign Minister Lavrov justified recent attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure as a means of defending Russia from "inherent risks" and condemned NATO and the USA for participating in the defense of Ukraine . France and the USA agreed to continue supporting Ukraine . Meanwhile, the Pentagon reported that China conducted more ballistic missile tests than the rest of the world combined in 2021 but that there are doubts regarding whether or not they can achieve their goals of becoming a military superpower by 2027 .

Price attempted to push higher in today's session and finished at $4076 after briefly testing the 200MA which coincided with $4058 minor support. Volume finished today's session Moderate (high) and favored sellers after favoring buyers in yesterday's session. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $3938, this margin is neutral at the moment. RSI is currently trending down slightly at 62.5 after forming a soft peak at 63.5, the next support is at 52.68 and resistance at 68.42. Stochastic crossed over bullish in today's session after bouncing off of 68 support and is currently trending up at 83. MACD remains bullish after defying a bearish crossover and is currently trending up slightly at 62, it's still technically testing 55 minor resistance. ADX is currently trending up slightly at 21 as Price attempts to push higher, this is mildly bullish at the moment and would become bullish if it maintains this correlation over 25.
If Price is able to establish support at $4058 minor support then the next likely target is a retest of the upper trendline of the descending channel from November 2021 at around $4175 resistance (this would present a very critical resistance). However, if Price breaks down below $4058 minor support as well as the 200MA at $4048 as support , it will likely retest $3913 minor support. Mental SL: (one close below) $4032 .
SPX what a day! Close above 4075SPXNow the next target is the ideal extension target 4119+- few points
Ideally we get that number tested by the 5th and see 3750 filled EOM
It was a panic cycle day and I did mention about it many times in my posts.
One was done during my last night update together with the explanation.
We got that a move in one direction above previous high or low, it was up the upside.
Also mentioned that it was holding well during the day and huge calls activity.
I did trade lotto SPY 408 Dec 1st calls, bought 20 at 6.5c on average, exited at 57 and most of it at 1.08-1.35, amazing lotto
Also did few NQ calls, was restriking all afternoon taking profits on those in green, still have 2 running for tomorrow's am exit if not tonight
Careful with being long here as the upside is limited and usually the FED day gets reversed by Fri, will it be the same this time, I dont know.
There is a good short setup around 4120SPX level, no need to chase the market at this point if missed the long play today
SPX pathway going into tomorrowIf the price will gap down from the open, I expect the price to hit low 39 hundred.
The a rally into the FED speech, where more volatility is expected.
All day today the price stopped at 10EMA on 1h, not a bullish sign
Its a panic cycle day, a move, explanation below:
- Given their abrupt or dramatic nature, panic cycles do not necessarily reflect changes in trend or a new high or low—they tend to align to short-term moves or temporary corrections.
- A relatively fast, one-way price move, either exceeding a previous high or penetrating a previous low, but not both.
My pathway for tomorrow is:
- open (gap down) and test low 3900
- rally back to 3970-80SPX (important to hold on any test)
- strong sell after Powell opens his mouth
Im expecting bottom on Dec 1st.
Also tomorrow can produce a very strong selling (if happens, then only after Powell speaking) and it should follow through into the next day.
Ideally we retrace all the way to Oct 13th low, it will be a huge buy for a rally back to 3850+ at min by Dec 5-6th.
The low is expected by Dec OPEX.
The cycles might get inverted, so tomorrow's move will be important to determine a low or a high by Dec OPEX
Tomorrow (again IF we start breaking down hard) must close below 3906SPX for a double reversal confirmation.
That close will confirm the move down to test 3744-50SPX
Resistance is at 3975-80, 4001-10.50, then gap fill and 4037-45SPX, closing above will produce a next target 4120SPX
I might be tweeting my trades life tomorrow
Have a good night
SPX pathway to close the CPI gap if the FED does not pivotI dont see the FED to pivot any time soon.
It can be another Jackson Hall event which will start a new directional move.
My ideal pathway is the low around Dec OPEX and high early Jan (might be the 200MA test)
Must hold numbers on closing level for tomorrow are:
- 3944.50-45
- 3906.50
Both are maj support zones.
Second number fits the best with other trendlines align around 3906-14SPX level
If the price will get a 4k test in am, it will be a perfect short for a move down to 3944SPX a min if not more.
Both long and short setups are coming, be patient if not in a trade already, be patient if you're
I gave you the levels to watch, feel free to use them for your own homework.
Have a good night.
SPX DailyThere is a potential H&S on longer time frame I mentioned before, noted on this chart as well
Must hold support for the next week is at 3898-3920SPX. Has to hold on any test, otherwise the price will revisit the Oct 13th gap very quickly
My ideal pathway is bottom on the 1st (I still see month of Nov close red at least compare to the previous month) and bounce into the 6th-7th high.
If cycles gets inverted, then we should see the low tomorrow and high on the 1st, then it will be a first low on the 6-7th
The best scenario for the EOM trade is we see low prices tomorrow am and bounce into 29th high.
Then (after the 29th high) reversal down (strong) for the 1st of Dec low.
30th is showing up as a panic day on all indexes, so expect a strong move in direction of the 29th close.
- The price might get the gap closed on the 29th (ideal pathway) and continue in a strong move down.
Ideally its closes in direction down, it will be a good confirmation for the price going lower into the 1st low.
- Ideal target is 3744-55SPX or Oct 13th gap close
After the 1st low, it gets tricky. Its either makes a low on the 6th and up into the week of Dec 26th or, ideally a high and down into EOY.
Jan seems to be the monthly low of this entire move down from the ATH, perfect 1 year celebration.
Intraday low might not come till Mar or even May.
Here is zoomed in chart link
There is not much of a support below 3866 till 3744SPX, its the must hold Bear/Bull support for the next week.
If looking for the extensions, I have resistance at
- 4037
- 4045
- 4068-76 (main target)
- 4118-20 (Maj resistance)
Will be tweeting my other simple chart as can't attach it here.
Im swing short and will use the next high to exit all the remaining protective longs I have.
Have a great and profitable week everyone!

* CRITICAL RESISTANCE WATCH . US Equity Futures are starting the week down as Cryptos are attempting to finish the week up (barely). Markets are apparently getting spooked by the unrest in China and how it may affect demand if the CCP is to enforce stricter lockdowns with the uptick in Covid infections. It's unprecedented to see this kind of revolt in China in modern times, with chants in Shanghai for the CCP and Xi Jinping to step down ; all I can say is, bravo to the Chinese citizens for standing up to the scam that is Covid lockdowns. It's a big week for economic data so be prepared for a bit of volatility if the numbers point to more inflation.
JPYUSD is up. Meanwhile DXY, US Treasuries, US Equity Futures, Cryptos, Metals, Energy, Agriculture, HSI, NI225, CNYUSD, GBPUSD and EURUSD are down.

Price finished last week stalling at $4026, just below $4058 minor resistance which coincides with the 200MA. Volume was Low (high) due to a shortened trading session and has favored buyers for three consecutive sessions; it has also been shrinking for ten consecutive sessions which is indicative of an impending breakout/breakdown. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $3867, this margin is mildly bearish at the moment. RSI is currently trending sideways at 62; the next resistance is at 68 and the next support at 53. Stochastic remains bullish and is currently trending up at 97 as it approaches a retest of max top. MACD remains bullish and is currently trending up at 62 but is still technically testing 55 minor resistance. ADX is currently trending up slightly at 21 as Price continues to push higher, this is mildly bullish at the moment.
If Price is able to breakout above $4058 minor resistance + the 200MA then it will likely retest the upper trendline of the descending channel from November 2021 at $4175 resistance for the first time since 08/22/22. However, if Price breaks down here, it will likely fall back to ~$3953 as support before potentially retesting $3913 minor support . Mental Stop Loss: (one close below) $3953.
