S&P500 This Bull Cycle is far from over.On this analysis we view the S&P500 (SPX) from the longer term perspective of the 1M time-frame in order to answer the question of why it hasn't pulled-back since the October 2023 Low. The answer can be given by observing the index from a cyclical point of view.
First, with the exception of the March 2020 COVID flash crash and more recently October 2022, the 1M MA50 (blue trend-line), was intact since October 2011. Even during those two tests, it never closed a monthly (1M) candle below it. This makes it the current long-term Support and every pull-back towards it is a buy opportunity on the lowest possible risk.
The catalyst on this long-term analysis is the Channel Down that started on the 1M RSI since the September 2015 Low. Every decline near its bottom (Lower Lows trend-line) is a buy opportunity, while near its top (Lower Highs trend-line) is a sell. Right now the Cycle (5th since the bottom of the 2008-2009 Housing Crisis) is at the point after its 1st mid-cycle correction (blue circle) where the 1M RSI typically bounces off its MA (yellow) trend-line.
This hasn't just happened within the RSI's Channel Down but is also a characteristic of all Cycles since the bottom of the 2008-2009 Housing Crisis. At the same time, the 1M MACD rises on a Bullish Cross.
As a result, even though a short-term pull-back can be technically justified, the current Bull Cycle is far from over as the 1M RSI hasn't approached the Channel's top. Technically that should be towards the fall of 2024 followed by a volatile 2025.

S&P500 Is a -3% pull-back probable here?The S&P500 index (SPX) is having another bullish week with the current green 1W candle being the strongest since the first week of the year. Nonetheless with the 1W RSI overbought at 75.00 and the price very close to the Higher Highs trend-line that started on the late November 2022 High, a short-term pull-back seems probable at the moment.
The long-term price action since 2016 shows that every time this 1W RSI overbought pattern emerges, and the index is trading near (or at) the Higher Highs trend-line, it makes a correction between -3.10% and -4.50%. From the current levels, the minimum of -3.10% pull-back would deliver prices around 4950 while a -4.50% one, prices around 4865. Long-term traders can look to continue buying such dips as long as the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) is supporting.

SPX- Should visit 4800 supportSimilar to my analysis on PEPPERSTONE:NAS100 , I also anticipate a decline in the case of $CBOE:SPX.
The index attempted twice to remain above 5000 but failed, and it appears to be forming a double top in that area.
From a technical standpoint, the trend remains strongly bullish.
However, a drop below 4930-4950 would interrupt this aggressive uptrend and expose the 4800 support zone.
S&P500 Short-term pull-back is very likely now.The S&P500 has hit (even surpassed on the liner scale) the top of the 16-month Channel Up pattern with the 1D RSI on a Bearish Divergence (price on Higher Highs while the RSI on Lower Highs). If the price closes a 1D candle below the 4H MA100 (red trend-line), which is dangerously close to, it will be the first such bearish signal since August 02 2023 and the previous Higher High of the Channel Up.
Of course the final confirmation comes if the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) breaks but that is currently on Support 1 and our first Target at 4845. So if the 1D MA50 breaks, we will take a new short and extend selling with a 4755 Target, which represents a -5.84% decline from the current top, similar to the August 18 2023 pull-back.

S&P500 +10year cheatsheet tells you what to do next!On this analysis we look into the S&P500 index (SPX) from a very long-term angle, the 1W time-frame going back more than 13 years, since November 2010. That was when the first Megaphone pattern emerged since the 2009 market bottom of the U.S. Housing (sub-prime) crisis that after testing the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) it found Support and transitioned into a Channel Up.
This is a similar pattern that we are at since the previous 2021 market All Time High (ATH) that led to the 2022 Inflation Bear Cycle. In fact since 2009 there have been (including 2022) 4 such cyclical patterns in total and another common characteristic has been that the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) has been the Support throughout the uptrend. In our recent pattern, that was tested in October 2023, held, and gave rise to the enormous November - February rally.
That turned the 1W RSI overbought above 70.00 for the first time since July 24 2023, which caused the 3-month pull-back. In fact, when the 1W RSI broke that high into overbought territory during the previous 3 Cycles, SPX at best consolidated if not pull-back for 4-6 weeks.
In any case, this +10 year 'Cheatsheet' is telling you that as long as the 1W MA50 holds (which is considerably lower), the next 4 weeks at least are a buy opportunity, at least once the index hits the 1D MA50 again. And of course the upside, in a year of expected rate cuts and U.S. Presidential elections, is significant not just purely from a technical point of view.

S&P 500 - Flying high, overbought and stretched 7.2.24Weekly trend-line stretching back to November 2022, is being tested around the level of 5,000 which is also a "psychological barrier" for price action to proceed going higher.
A re-test of the breakout above the 4,800 level is expected in the near-term.
S&P500 Bearish Divergence on 1D RSI points to a correction.The S&P500 index (SPX) has reached the top of the long-term Channel Up pattern that started on the October 13 2022 market bottom. This development is a strong sell signal on its own but it gets even stronger as the 1D RSI has been within a Channel Down since December 19, while the price was rising within a Channel Up, which is a technical Bearish Divergence.
The very same Bearish Divergence that led to the July 27 2023 Higher High and was followed by a 3-month almost -11.00% correction. The first wave of that correction was -5.84% and has been the minimum correction range in 2023, settling just above the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level. As a result that minimum will be our target and its at 4700, as we may see a bullish reaction going closer to the mid-March Fed Rate Decision (in expectations of rate cuts).
Technically though, we can see a longer correctional wave to -9.26% (like the Bearish Leg that bottomed on March 13 2023) that could test the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), or even almost -11.00% (like the one that bottomed on October 27 2023). Notice how each of those potential correction targets are conveniently placed around key Support or Fibonacci retracement levels.

#SPX SPX Jan 24th after the close updateSPX will be the first update from TheTradersRoom.
SPX has hit its desired target we have called yesterday - 4904.50-4909.50
So I call it a perfect hit. Today's reversal came on a heavy selling, also got a black reversal daily closing SPX candle, which if not broken 1c above should mark at least a temporary top.
If the price did find its top, then tomorrow's open should be a gap down below 4864 and my min target will be 4840-4835 SPX
We have a Panic cycle day on the 26th and Im looking for a first important low on Feb 1st
Happy to be back!
S&P500 Buy and Sell trading plan.The S&P500 (SPX) index has been trading within a Channel Up pattern since the December 07 low and is currently on the 3rd Bullish Leg towards the top (Higher Highs trend-line). The basic Support is the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) which has (nearly) held twice this month, with the 1D MA50 (red trend-line) right below being the separator between a medium-term bullish and bearish trend.
We expect a maximum Leg growth of 5.56% like the one that topped on December 27, so we are buying towards 4900 or until the 4H MACD makes a Bearish Cross (standard peak/ sell signal within the Channel Up), in which case we will sell and target the Channel's bottom (Higher Lows trend-line) at 4800 (-2.80% decline like January 05), or close earlier if the 4H MA200 gets hit.

S&P500 Dead cat bounce?The S&P500 index (SPX) is unfolding today the 3rd green 1D candle in a row, having gained back the vast majority of losses sustained last week. The December 28 rejection took place just below the 4820 All Time High (ATH) and as the 1D MACD is printing a sequence similar to the July 27 2023 peak, we expect the price to make a bearish reversal before the week is over.
The minimum target on this correction for us is the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), which currently is at 4580. Throughout this 14-month Channel Up though, the minimum decline % has been -8.06%. So if selling gets accelerated we don't rule out seeing a 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) test at 4450. In order to re-sell though this low, we need to get a candle closing below the 1D MA50 and then sell upon a bounce above the 1D MA50, similar to September 01 2023 and March 06 2023.

S&P500 Giant Cup and Handle and CORRECTION in play?The S&P500 index (SPX) almost hit the 4820 All Time High (ATH) level on the last trading session of 2023. That day completed the 9th straight green weekly (1W) candle, a feat last seen on the week of February 19 2019.
This doesn't necessarily indicate that any sort of correction is due as a bullish market can run rallies fueled on fundamental news for even longer period of times. But the fact that the ATH test completes a Cup pattern, could be alarming as, especially on overbought 1W RSI levels, Cup patterns tend to deliver one final pull-back in the form of a 'Handle' structure before making a new clear All Time High.
Technically, the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) tends to be an intact Support during the year(s) of a Bull Market and so fart it was last hit in late October 2023. If 2024 is indeed a Bull Phase year, then the 1W MA50 should hold. If the Handle pulls back the current bullish trend, then the two could 'meet' at around 4500, which is marginally above the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level. A stronger correction to the 0.382 level is highly unlikely unless pessimistic news (e.g. Fed, growth, inflation, unemployment) hit the market.

S&P500 Is 4800 the end of the road after 9 green weeks?The S&P500 index (SPX) is currently on its 9th straight green week (1W candle) following the October 23 (weekly terms) bottom. That was a Higher Low on the 15-month Channel Up and based on that pattern, the index is approaching its top (Higher Highs trend-line).
What adds more weight to the very high levels it is trading at, is that the All Time High is just above the current price at 4820. A peak on that level would represent a +17.40% increase, exactly the % rise of the first Bullish Leg of the 15-month Channel Up that peaked on the week of November 28 2022 and then corrected by -8.06%.
With the 1W RSI almost overbought (70.00) as it was on July 24, which was the peak of the previous Higher High of the Channel Up that initiated a 3-month correction of almost -11% and the 1W MACD on a post Bullish Cross level similar to the highs of August 15 2022 and November 28 2022 that kickstarted corrections, the selling pressure has now considerably stronger parameters to start.
This means that, at least from a technical perspective, this is the strongest sell opportunity since late July. A minimum correction of -8.00% would deliver a test of the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) and as such, our target is 4450 (slightly above it).
If however the bullish trend continues for a few more weeks and pursues the maximum % rally we have seen since 2021, which has been +20.95%, then we can see an extension at around 4950, in which case we will add an additional (2nd) sell and both our bearish targets will be restructured at 4580 (-8.00%).

S&P500 The rally still has one more High to give at least.The S&P500 index (SPX) pulled-back yesterday on the strongest 1D red candle since October. A natural technical reaction after weeks of rise-only price action and an overbought 1D RSI that almost hit 83.00. The long-term pattern remains a Channel Up since the October 13 2022 market bottom and as long as the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) is supporting, it is likely to see one final upward extension towards its top (Higher Highs trend-line).
The two major Higher High sequences (bullish legs) of this Channel have been around +20.50%, extending almost as high as the 2.0 Fibonacci level. As a result we are expecting a minimum of 4930, before any larger correction takes place, unless of course the index breaks above its Channel Up, in which case we will look for a new pattern.

S&P500 Bullish unless this Support level breaks.The S&P500 index (SPX) is extending the bullish leg of the 16-month Rising Wedge pattern. It doesn't have much room left before it hits the top (Higher Highs trend-line) of the pattern and as long as this stays intact, it targets 4730 as an end of year target. As you can see, throughout this pattern, its shorter Rising Wedge patterns that have driven the price upwards on the bullish legs, just like the current.
The previous broke to the upside and peaked on the 3.0 Fibonacci extension while the first one failed and when it broke the Support (last Higher Low), it declined to the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level below the 1D MA50.
As a result, if the Support (4535) fails first, short and target 4370 (0.5 Fibonacci). The 1D MACD is about to complete a Bearish into Bullish Cross pattern, which was favors the bullish scenario.

S&P500 Sell if the 4H MA50 breaks.The S&P500 index (SPX) is turning sideways following the enormous rally of November, which is close to being the best in history. That is a natural technical reaction by the market in an attempt to normalize the largely overbought 1D time-frame.
This sideways trade that indicates a potential exhaustion, is complimented by the Bearish Divergence on the 4H RSI, which would justify a technical pull-back. The very same Bearish Divergence was last seen during the late July peak formation.
The structures overall between now and July are quite similar, starting with a Cup bottom and peaking when the curve flattened. Our sell signal confirmation is a break and 4H candle closing below the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line). In that case, we will target the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level (as on August 03) at 4465.

S&P500 How high can this rally go?The S&P500 index (SPX) is on a relentless 1-month rally since since the October 27 bottom, having grown already by more than +11%. Since the August 16 2022 High, the index has entered into a long-term Channel Up sequence. The last two breaks below the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) have been the Higher Lows and the best medium-term buy entry. The recent (October) one in particular was the first that was on a Higher Lows 1D CCI Bullish Divergence.
We can see that all rallies since August 2022 have been around the same range (+19.31% to +20.79%). As a result, we expect another minimum +19.33% (from the October bottom). Along with the (dotted) Channel Up top, which gives us a first Target at 4700, that +19.33% expectation gives a second long-term target at 4900, which would be above the 4820 (Jan 04 2022) All Time High (ATH). The latter Target will also make a perfect Higher Low at the top of the Diverging (dashed) Channel Up and hit the 1.618 Fibonacci extension (as all previous rally did), while the former (Target 1) will price a Higher High on the (dotted) Channel Up.
As a result, if the index enters a consolidation for a few days within the orange ellipse pattern (as it did during April 2023 and November 2022), it will give you another opportunity to enter in case you missed the rally from its start.

S&P500 Cup and Handle paid off. Now brace for Xmas rally.The S&P500 index (SPX) fulfilled our previous Cup and Handle (C&H) pattern, as even though it had a week closing below the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line), it eventually bottomed and has since been on a 3-week rebound that broke above the Handle, turning the 1D MA50 (red trend-line) into a Support again.
Perhaps the strongest technical development of the week is the emerging formation of a Bullish Cross on the 1W MACD. Historically those are formed in the middle of strong rallies, even during a Bear Cycle correction (such as on July 18 2022). Even though a 1 week correction similar to the October 31 2022 1W candle is possible, we expect a new All Time High (ATH) at 4900 (Target 2) at least, as every rally since the October 10 2022 market bottom, has completed at least a +20.19% rise.
Even on the short-term, we expect a 'Christmas rally' to test the bottom of the ATH Zone at 4700 by the end of December, assuming the 1D MA50 of course supports.
Our longer term perspective has the psychological 5000 target in frame as it is slightly below the 1.5 Fibonacci extension from the July 24 High. This projection is made based on that July 24 High itself, which was been on the 1.5 Fib extension from the January 30 High.
Are you looking for a 1 week pull-back to buy or you are already on board for a 'Santa rally'?

SPx 4H : Stability above 4395 will rise up SPx
New forecast
In yesterday's trading, the index price touched the 4395 level and then repeated the sideways fluctuation, while the general stability is above the support level extending towards 4370, this calls us to adhere to the bullish bias, which may soon target the 44270 and 4445 levels.
Therefore the uptrend scenario will be remain valid and effective during coming period supported by moving average 50 ,but to confirm the bullish trend should stable above 4395 and then our target will be activate , taking into account that stabilized under 4353 will postponed the bullish waves and will put the price under sell pressure .
The expect range trading for today it will be between the resistance line 4395 and support line 4353.
Additionally Today ,New York sessions will affect on the Indices .
support line : 4370 , 4353
resistance line : 4395 , 4427

S&P500 and VIX. A tale of two opposites.It's no secret that the stock market and in this particular example, the S&P500 (chart on the left), is negatively correlated to the Volatility Index (chart on the right). What we do want to bring to your attention however is how tightly this correlation has been in the past 12 months with VIX's Falling Wedge having the price on its middle, almost on perfect symmetry with the S&P's Bullish Megaphone.
See the recurring sequences within both patterns (tops/ red, bottoms/ greens, consolidations/ blue arcs) and how inversely correlated they are. Right now VIX is headed for its Support where it ends to rebound and consolidate for around 1 month, before sharply declining for a new Lower Low.
Similarly we expect the S&P500 to rise some more before peaking for the short-term, then pull-back to consolidate and then stage an aggressive end-of-the-year rally. Can it repeat a +20% rally as the previous 2 rally legs of the past 12 months? Doubtful, but potentially taking profits when VIX bottoms is certainly a good indicator to have in mind.

S&P500 This trend-line separates bull from more pain.The S&P500 index had a green session yesterday as the price made a Lower Low at the bottom of the Channel Down and seems to be rebounding. Technically that is the bullish leg towards the new Lower High, with the previous being priced on the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line).
This Channel Down however, on a 1D RSI basis as well, resembles the August - October 2022 pattern. Both corrections have almost 1 year between them. If the long-term structure that connects them is a Channel Up, then there is more selling ahead, with the potential Support/ long-term Accumulation level being on the 1W MA200 (red trend-line). In October 2022, that level was continuously tested for 2 weeks in a row and held.
The bottom of that Channel Down was confirmed after the 4H MA150 (green trend-line) broke to the upside. As a result, a fair guess would be to buy if a break-out above the 4H MA150 (now at 4275) takes place again. If it does, we will buy again and target the standard +20% medium-term rise within this 12 month span (happened 3 times) aiming at 4930 (would make a new All Time High). If the index stays below the 4H MA150, we will wait until the price bounces off the 1W MA200 and buy with 4740 as the target.

Macro Monday 18~Durable Goods SignalsMacro Monday 18
Using New Orders for Durable Goods to Anticipate Market Direction
This week we are using the Manufacturers New Orders for Durable Goods Survey data (“Durable Goods”) to help anticipate price movements on the S&P500. The 30 month moving average for Durable Goods can act as a threshold level for buy and sell signals for the S&P500 whilst also providing advance warnings of recession and/or capitulation events. This has been clearly illustrated in the chart.
Durable Goods Explained
Durable goods orders is a broad-based monthly survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau that measures current industrial activity which proves to be is useful as an economic indicator for investors. Durable goods orders reflect new orders placed with domestic manufacturers for delivery of long-lasting manufactured goods (durable goods) in the near term or future.
A high durable goods number indicates an economy on the upswing while a low number indicates a downward trajectory.
Durable goods orders tell investors what to expect from the manufacturing sector, a major component of the economy, and provide more insight into the supply chain than most indicators. This can be especially useful in helping investors understand the earnings in industries such as machinery, technology manufacturing, and transportation.
What’s Included in Durable Goods?
Durable goods are expensive items that last three years or more. As a result, companies purchase them infrequently. Examples include machinery and equipment, such as computer equipment, industrial machinery, and raw steel, as well as more expensive items, such as steam shovels, tanks, and airplanes—commercial planes make up a significant component of durable goods for the U.S. economy. Many analysts will look at durable goods orders, excluding the defense and transportation sectors as large once off orders can often skew the figures.
Durable goods orders data can often be volatile and revisions are not uncommon, so investors and analysts typically use several months of averages instead of relying too heavily on the data of a single month. In our chart we have found the 30 month moving average to be particularly apt as a threshold level
The Chart
In the chart we have the Durable Orders metric in blue and the S&P500 in baby blue. The 30 month moving average on Durable Goods (Dark Brown Line) is used as a threshold level for buy and sell signals.
When the blue line for new orders of Durable Goods definitively passes the 30 month moving average (Dark Brown Line) this provides the buy or sell signal based on whether it moves above or below the average.
Main Findings
1. When Durable Goods Orders(blue) fall below the 30 month moving average(brown) this is sell signal
2. When Durable Goods Orders(blue) break above the 30 month moving average(brown) this is a buy signal
3. Declining durable goods and/or a fall below the 30 month moving average has offered advanced warning of recession and/or capitulation.
Sell Signal Record
(Blue line crossing below Dark Brown Line)
▫️ In Oct 2000 five months before the Dot.Com Crash which commenced in Mar 2001, the Durable Goods Moving Average provided a sell signal offering an five month advanced warning of recession.
▫️ In Dec 2007 the Great Financial Crisis (“GFC”) commenced and whilst New Orders for Durable Goods had not passed below the moving average before the recession it did pass the moving average mid recession signalling an advance warning of the major capitulation event of the GFC crash. Once again Durable Goods was of great utility in avoiding unnecessary losses.
▫️ A sell signal triggered in Oct 2014 and whilst there was no crash, the S&P500 price oscillated sideways for >24 months post signal and only increased in value by 9%. During this 24 month period capital would have been better allocated somewhere offering a better than 9% return.
▫️ In Feb 2019 one year before the COVID-19 Crash the Durable Goods Moving Average provided an advanced sell/recession signal, and whilst the S&P500 did rally c.13.5% after the signal over the subsequent 12 months, the S&P500 ultimately fell 23% thereafter in a matter of months taking back all those gains and more.
Buy Signal Record
(Blue line crossing above Dark Brown Line)
▫️ As you can see from the chart the buy signals provide a great confirmation of trend, that price on the S&P500 will likely continue in an upwards trajectory.
▫️ For the four buy signals confirmed we had 50 months of upwards price pressure on the S&P500 on the first two occasions and on the latter two 18 months and 15 months of upwards price action.
▫️ Taking the four aforementioned buy signals, an the average return was 60.5% f(max return possible from a buy signal the market high).
▫️ The performance from a buy signal to sell signal was an average of 43% across the four instances.
The chart demonstrates that using the 30 month moving average for Durable Goods New Orders can very useful in determining market trend.
At present we are well above the 30 month moving average and appear to be trending upwards. We can continue to monitor this chart and watch for a cross of the 30 month moving average as an additional confirmation of a change to a bearish trend for the S&P500 when it happens. For now this is just another chart to help us identify bearish/bullish trend changes by using the economic data from Manufacturers New Orders for Durable Goods.
As always folks, stay nimble

S&P500 That's the longest correction since 2011.More pain ahead?S&P500 (SPX) has been on a correction mode since the week of July 24, completing 13 straight weeks (91 days) of pulling-back without a 50% retracement. As you can see on the charts above, which are on the 1W time-frame, this is the strongest such correction since October 03 2011, which stretched for 21 weeks.
Even the recent Inflation Bear Cycle of 2022 had three separate correction phases of no more than 11 weeks. In total since 2011 there have been 12 such corrections (including the current), so we can realize just how long this one has gone without at least a 50% Fib retracement. This may indicate that potentially we are at or near the bottom. On the downside, it did break and close this week below the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) and the next Support in line is the 1W MA200 orange trend-line) at 3940.
Do you think it's time to rebound to the 0.5 Fib or the index 'needs' to technically reach the 1W MA200 first?
