Getting closer to support zoneThis market is horrible. Still holding my long position and selling calls but when it looks that bulls are jumping in sellers show up and erase all gains. Fortunately the index is approaching to a strong support zone 415 - 410. I'm hang in there, trusting that support will hold, at least a few weeks. I won't open any long positions for now until I see a couple of big fat weekly green candles.

Unlocking SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust's PotentialAt the start of 2023, our key assumption was that bullish trends would dominate the market this year despite the challenging global macroeconomic conditions following the post-COVID-19 era. Our prediction proved accurate, as the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust has already surged by over 10%, despite the ongoing high hydrocarbon prices.
Bears have been trying to regain control and putting downward pressure on SPY in recent weeks. Adding fuel to the fire was the news that the Federal Reserve is ready to raise interest rates again if necessary, Jerome Powell said following the meeting at the end of September.
"Given how far we have come, we are in a position to proceed carefully as we assess the incoming data and the evolving outlook and risks. Real interest rates now are well above mainstream estimates of the neutral policy rate, but we are mindful of the inherent uncertainties in precisely gauging the stance of policy. We are prepared to raise rates further if appropriate, and we intend to hold policy at a restrictive level until we are confident that inflation is moving down sustainably toward our objective. In determining the extent of additional policy firming that may be appropriate to return inflation to 2 percent over time, the Committee will take into account the cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affects economic activity and inflation, and economic and financial developments."
However, despite the negativity spreading in the media, in our opinion, all movements are taking place within the framework of corrective wave 4, which will be completed this week.
Overall, we believe that the Fed will not tighten its monetary policy as American savings continue to decline, which, given the rise in household debt, poses a significant threat to the stability of the US financial system.
In conclusion, we would like to note that we are optimistic about the American economy, which is showing its stability while China cannot recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we expect that the price of SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust will continue its movement within the impulse wave 5 up to $461-462.

$SPY Quarter 3 (Q3) AnalysisThe S&P 500 had a correction in August and September that led to a correction back down into the EMA ribbon. I believe that SPY is trending for a strong Q4 and will make progress towards a new all-time high above $477 over the next few months (marked by the green circle). For now I would like to see a bullish bounce off the EMA ribbon.
Is TSL Stock Worthy Beyond 2025? Let's Uncover That
Now, I know what you might be thinking. TSLA has been quite the rollercoaster ride, with its stock price soaring to astronomical heights and then experiencing some sharp declines. But let's not forget the incredible achievements and disruptive innovations that Tesla has brought to the table. From electric vehicles to renewable energy solutions, this company has been at the forefront of revolutionizing multiple industries.
Looking ahead, it's crucial to consider some key factors that could shape Tesla's future performance. The electric vehicle market is projected to witness substantial growth, driven by increasing environmental concerns and government regulations. Tesla, being a pioneer in this domain, is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend and maintain its market dominance.
Moreover, Tesla's ambitious plans to expand its production capacity, particularly in emerging markets like China, bode well for its long-term prospects. As the company continues to scale up, economies of scale could potentially lead to improved margins and profitability. Additionally, Tesla's investments in autonomous driving technology could open up new revenue streams and solidify its position as a leader in the automotive industry.
Now, let's talk about the call-to-action. As traders, it's essential to keep a close eye on the performance of our investments. I encourage you to consider holding onto TSL if it consistently outperforms the SPY ETF (S&P 500 Index). While past performance is not indicative of future results, this metric can serve as a valuable indicator of TSLA's strength relative to the broader market.
By closely monitoring TSLA's performance against the SPY ETF, we can make informed decisions about the stock's long-term potential. Remember, investing is all about calculated risks and staying ahead of the curve. If TSLA consistently outshines the broader market, it may be worth considering as a long-term holding in your portfolio.
In conclusion, the question of whether TSLA is a stock worthy of holding beyond 2025 is a topic that sparks curiosity and debate. While the future is uncertain, Tesla's innovative spirit, market position, and growth opportunities make it an intriguing candidate for long-term investors.
So, let's keep a watchful eye on TSLA's performance and evaluate its potential against the SPY ETF. If it continues to outperform, it might just be the time to consider holding onto Tesla and ride the waves of its future success.
$SPY 20% Up Under 10% downAs we assess the performance landscape for this year, it's imperative to focus on key metrics that underline the strength of our investment strategy. Notably, the S&P 500 Index, represented by the SPY ETF, has appreciated approximately 20% year-to-date. This solid growth trajectory reinforces the robustness of the current bull market.
Furthermore, it's worth highlighting that market corrections have remained relatively contained, with pullbacks not exceeding a 10% decline. These controlled retracements are indicative of a market that, while exhibiting occasional volatility, is fundamentally strong.
Our analytical framework projects specific price targets for SPY, which are delineated in the accompanying chart. These targets have been carefully calculated based on a variety of factors, including historical data, economic indicators, and market sentiment.
In conclusion, while it's crucial to remain cautious and diversified, especially in a market that has demonstrated significant gains, the underlying metrics point toward a resilient market environment. We encourage you to continue to engage with us as we navigate these exciting market conditions.
The S&P 500 (SPY): Poor Defense for Key Support LevelsThis is a follow-up post after SPY poorly defended the two key support levels discussed in my last post. There was little fight from S&P bulls and bearish sentiment after the Sept FOMC meeting that reinforced the higher for longer narrative. For now I'm waiting until the end of the week for the Q3 candle close at the end of September. I have the red trendline as a key price target with a price level around $437-438.
SPX Weekly TA SPX - Weekly Chart TA, Sunday, September 24th, 2023
Based on the 3 major time fibs, I am looking for a major trend into October 18th-Nov 8th period.
The 2022 High/Low time fib 2.0 was one day off from the 2023 high.
(Progress/Stalemate over the Government Shutdown can affect that thesis of timing)
Longs:
Last week's selloff left a gap above at 4401 -
Bulls want to regain the 100 day SMA. That would be the main target for a short term bounce, with the gap fill and then a test of the falling 50 day SMA. That would put us back in the value area from the July highs, and the VAH from the March lows to that same July high. Current reading is oversold on the daily, so a ST bounce is expected.
Gravity Points are stacked in the HTF Supply zone, so major resistance for LT Bulls to get through.
Shorts:
Any bounce this week will be met with bears trying to STR. They will want to see the 100 day SMA act as resistance, and will likely see more shorts step in at the gap fill & the 4000 Psych level. A failure to regain those levels should be met with increase selling and a drop below the 4300 level.
If Bears can flip the 4300 into resistance, the move to the May gap fill (4232) should be swift. I would look for Shorts to then peal positions in the HTF Demand zone from 4232 to the .382 H/L fib at 4180. The 200 day SMA is sitting in the demand zone, acting as potential added support.
LONG TERM THESIS: I am expecting the bear pressure to be in control into October. If I had to make a bet, I would look for the higher Demand Zone to be tested shortly, with a test down to the lower HTF Demand zone as a possibility before an EOY rally.
SPY S&P 500 etf Options expiring next weekIf you haven`t bought puts ahead of the FED`s Interest Rate Decision last week:
Which happen to end up 4.18X higher after the Federal Reserve suggested the likelihood of another rate increase in the near future.
Then you need to know that SPY is approaching an oversold area.
And historically, as you can see in the RSI chart, in these areas technical players tend to buy the dip, anticipating a technical rebound.
In this context, and looking into the options chain, I would consider the following Calls expiring next Friday:
2023-9-29 expiration date
$430 Strike Price
$4.38 Premium
Looking forward to read your opinion about it!
SPY S&P500 ETF Options ahead of the FED Interest Rate DecisionThe latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report this week has shown inflationary pressures, with a 0.6% month-on-month increase in CPI, in line with expectations. Additionally, the core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, also saw an uptick, rising by 0.3% month-on-month, above expectations at 0.2%.
On a year-on-year basis, CPI has surged to 3.7%, surpassing the anticipated 3.6%. Moreover, core CPI, at 4.3% year-on-year, has held steady as per expectations.
These numbers underscore the persistent inflationary trend we have been witnessing. Such elevated levels of inflation can be concerning for financial markets, as they often lead to higher interest rates. With the upcoming FOMC meeting, there is speculation of another 0.25 basis points rate hike, which would further tighten monetary policy.
In light of this, I`m considering the following Puts: September 29, 2023 expiration date, $440 strike price, and $2.25 premium, to align with the bearish sentiment. This strategy could potentially be prudent given the expected market conditions. However, it is crucial to remain vigilant, as market reactions to FOMC decisions can be unpredictable and swift.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
S&P500 (SPX) -> Buy The DipMy name is Philip, I am a German swing-trader with 4+ years of trading experience and I only trade stocks , crypto , options and indices 🖥️
I only focus on the higher timeframes because this allows me to massively capitalize on the major market swings and cycles without getting caught up in the short term noise.
This is how you build real long term wealth!
In today's anaylsis I want to take a look at the bigger picture on S&P500.
After perfectly retesting the 50% fibonacci retracement level in confluence with previous structure this recent rally of more than 25% was quite expected.
After this agressive rally I do expect some short term weakness and the S&P500 to retest its long term uptrendline before I think that we could see another push higher.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I know that this is a quite simple trading approach but over the past 4 years I've realized that simplicity and consistency are much more important than any trading strategy.

SPX500 Head & Shoulders PatternEIGHTCAP:SPX500 Looks very clean Head & Shoulders Pattern developing. A **Head and Shoulders** pattern is a well-known technical analysis formation that often signals a potential trend reversal from bullish to bearish. It consists of three main parts: a higher peak (head) surrounded by two lower peaks (shoulders) on either side. The neckline connects the lows of the two troughs between the peaks.
A **failed Head and Shoulders pattern** occurs when the expected trend reversal doesn't materialize as anticipated. In this scenario, the price doesn't continue downward after the completion of the pattern, defying the usual bearish implication. Instead, the price might continue its previous trend or move in an unexpected direction.
Several factors could contribute to the failure of a Head and Shoulders pattern:
1. **Lack of Volume**: Patterns are more reliable when accompanied by higher trading volumes during their formation. A lack of significant volume might weaken the pattern's predictive power.
2. **Market Sentiment Shift**: If there's a sudden shift in market sentiment or unexpected news that contradicts the pattern's implication, the pattern might fail to deliver the anticipated reversal.
3. **False Breakout**: The price might break below the neckline briefly, triggering a false bearish signal, but then quickly reverse and continue the previous upward trend.
4. **Timeframe Consideration**: The pattern's effectiveness can vary based on the timeframe it appears in. Patterns on shorter timeframes might be less reliable than those on longer timeframes.
5. **Price Volatility**: Excessive volatility could lead to erratic price movements, causing the pattern to lose its predictive value.
6. **Unusual Market Conditions**: Extraordinary events, such as government interventions or major economic shifts, could disrupt the pattern's typical behavior.
Investors and traders should exercise caution when interpreting technical patterns, as they are not foolproof predictors of future price movements. A failed pattern serves as a reminder that market behavior can be complex and influenced by a multitude of factors. It's crucial to consider additional technical indicators, fundamental analysis, and broader market context when making trading decisions.
My Case For NO 1929 Style (Economic Collapse) + Super Bubble
I see many many articles circulating the similarities of the 1929 "Super Bubble" and see almost all the information is very miss leading and not accurate at all.
We can see the DJI compared to the SPY today is dangerously similar at face value. Enough for anyone with basics to be very nervous about this.
Each cycle has a 1st bubble followed by a 2nd bubble then ending with a gigantic 3rd melt up.
But the truth? we need to take the (CURRCIR) (Currency in Circulation)
as a proxy for the US M2 / M3 for the early 1900s
What we see is there was no debasement "Quantitative Easing" almost no new currency growth meaning it was all leverage based on air. Only after 1930s did we see currency growth.
Fast forward to 1999-2023
We see even before Quantitative Easing (Currency in Circulation) started an uptrend in 2004 going parabolic after 2008. Meaning the "Super Bubble" people are betting shorting right now is completely based on false information. Yes they are all wrong so is most retail.
2023
Adjust the SPY/USM2 supply we see a resistance trend going back to 2002 being hit 5 times, this means the debasement is acceleration coming back stronger every time.
There's a chance something insane will happen where markets will go parabolic almost triple or quadruple the 1929 "Super Bubble"
This will begin when the FRED has to cut or hold rates.
Reserve Banks forced to cut rates due to debt interest (government).
(Global M2 by math will go parabolic) this will flow back into companies / growth stocks.
Bond Yields there's a chance they will not lower and most of the money gets captured by hard asset / growth markets, this includes Bitcoin / Gold.
My thought process here is for the final "Super Bubble" to form from all this debt interest and monetary easing we have to see a blow off top in the SPY/USM2 chart, and you can guess it if the SPY makes all time highs soon while the FRED is planning to cut rates you're going to have all the (Money Market Funds) capital flow back into the stock market, there's currently trillions in short term US bonds meaning anyone purchasing TLT expecting a play for Bond Yields to fall are going to get this very wrong too (unless YCC happens for US Bonds)
So has the bubble busted? based on the math it has just begun we could be in the 1927 stage.
