S&P500 leveraged making Sine wave pattern & returning to neckSSO is a safer 2x leveraged etf of SPX than SPXL. It recently formed slight divergence & a big engulfing candle, probably due to oversold RSI & also short coverings after Thursday’s dump & pump with investors betting massively on both directions triggered by a high CPI report.
Prices may return to the neckline (return to mean) next week.

dkng bull flagLooking through some charts and noticed a bull flag forming in DKNG. Provided the overall market doesn't implode over the next couple days, I'm thinking it fights its way back up into the 16s not expecting it to break out of the flag formation but definitely possible/likely to test the top of the channel imo. Nice volume gap from here all the way up to the 16s area doesn't provide a ton of resistance. One issue I am seeing is the IV on the options contracts is very high. No position currently but will keep on watch and look to play it if the set-up stays the same. Not financial advice!
SPY S&P 500 ETF game plan for this weekAfter last week`s rebound played perfectly:
As well as the the Head and Shoulders Bearish Chart Pattern:
For this week i have selected the 1h timeframe to understand better the possible movement.
I believe that we will see a rebound once again at the beginning of this week after the speaks of Chicago FED Presidend and Vice Chair of FED on Monday and Cleveland FED President on Tuesday, but the market will close once again red on Friday, after the bank reports, where i think we will hear about revisions and recession incoming.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
$SPY Can we go higher?Hi Traders -
It's been a while since my last post and I figured I share this one with you guys. In the chart, I lay out the two most likely scenarios on each side of the trade. Personally, I believe there will be upward pressure here, because of the sheer amount of upside.
However , we will have to see the overnight price action and pre-market before making an accurate judgement on which way we will move.
Sincerely,
Mike (UPRIGHT Trading)
**PLEASE NOTE: the indicators at the bottom are for analysis**
SPY - Bullish Megaphone PatternPlease do your DD.
Watch out for the bounce from the trend line which will confirm the bullish megaphone pattern and trap a lot of shorts.
But if it breaks the trend line to the downside then we could be going down to 2000 on SPY
Be careful out there and do your DD before investing.
SPY S&P 500 ETF Double Bottom Technical ReboundIf you haven`t shorted the SPY Head and Shoulders Pattern:
Then you should know that a technical rebound refers to a recovery from a prior period of losses when technical signals indicate that the move was oversold.
In this case, the Relative Strength Index momentum indicator of SPY S&P 500 ETF is at 24.05 on a Double Bottom Reversal Chart Pattern.
A double bottom is a reversal chart pattern in technical analysis that describes a change in trend.
Even though i am overall bearish on the economy, buying a strong financial instrument when the RSI is below 30, would make a case for a potential short term reversal.
My ultimate price target is $338, but for now i am bullish.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
Short Term Bottom. Bond DivergenceGet ready for a short term reversal!
Bonds making higher lows while equities make lower lows has been a tell tale sign of a short term bottom so far this year.
As long as we see some follow through early next week, we should get a bounce lasting for at least a week.
SPY daily bullish hammer at strong supportSPY daily bullish hammer at strong support. My concerns are countertrend, retest gap with previous candle, shouldn't rise above wave 1 of wave 3 of the current trend. Stop loss below local lows, take profit at new resistance.
Also, selling put at market $360 strike June '25. With a current price around $40 per share I'd love to own SPY at $320.
Bear Market Rally TeeteringMarket participants are wondering right now if we are merely in a bear market rally or if this is the beginning of a new long-term bull run.
I thought I would write a post to share my thoughts.
First, the chart above: This is a weekly chart of the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) with Fibonacci levels applied. I drew Fibonacci levels from the January high to the June low to identify areas where the price of SPY may be resisted or reverse back downward. The chart is adjusted for dividends and is based on a log scale. I also placed arrows where Fibonacci levels may have acted either as support (up arrows) or resistance (down arrows).
While anything can happen and it would be foolish to make a call for certain, I do genuinely believe the following:
Regardless of how high the S&P 500 rallies, at some point in the future we will likely see the June bottom again.
This is because the June bottom is far more important than most people realize, as I will explain below.
Back on June 17th, the exact day of the bottom, I noted that SPY was likely bottoming. My charting analysis told me we were likely in the lower wick formation of the monthly candle at the time, so I knew a bottom was imminent. See the below post.
In early July, I also explained that the bottom was significant. See the below post.
We are currently sitting on a major level in stock market history. See the below chart.
The chart above is a yearly chart of the entire 150 years of SPX price data that Trading View provides. When one analyzes the chart as if it were a shorter timeframe chart, one will see that we are teetering right on the third Fibonacci extension of the Great Depression high. That is to say, when one draws Fibonacci lines from the lowest price ever for the SPX up to the Great Depression peak and then applies Fibonacci extensions, one will see that the June bottom was precisely on the third extension of the Great Depression. (Some call it a Fibonacci extension, some refer to it as a Fibonacci Spiral, and others refer to it as a Golden Spiral. Regardless, it is a very important level.)
For more information about the math and theory behind it, you check out this Wikipedia article on the Golden Spiral: en.wikipedia.org
These spirals occur at points in time when markets can undergo the most dramatic declines. This occurs mathematically in the form of price unraveling to a previous Fibonacci level.
In fact, very few people know that Black Monday (the 1987 Stock Market crash) occurred at the second extension of the Great Depression peak. Computers and smart money were detecting this Fibonacci level and likely led the initial phase of the sell-off, which spiraled into a panic sell-off.
The above monthly chart from 1987 shows that price tried to surpass the second Fibonacci extension but failed to close above it and was repelled back down.
Fast forward to the present time, the Fed Reserve's limitless quantitative easing propelled us abruptly above the third Fibonacci extension in the beginning of 2021. This important Fibonacci level actually held as support for both the 2021 low and the 2022 low (so far). See the charts below which show that the June bottom landed precisely on the 3rd Fibonacci extension.
On a yearly chart, (although the yearly candle has not been completed yet), you can see that we are sitting precariously on the 3rd Fibonacci extension with a bearish hammer.
This is quite concerning because it is occurring while we are on the verge of a significant recession. While I cannot explain all the reasons why I believe a significant recession is underway in this post, I have links to my prior posts explaining all the chart findings that lead me to this conclusion. You can refer to these links below.
I find it concerning that so many market participants are buying into a rally while the yield curve is so inverted. Indeed, the yield curve is the most inverted it has ever been since data became available in the 1980s (as measured by a 10Y/2Y ratio). See my post below.
Here's why I believe this rally is occurring. This rally was caused by two main types of market participants:
Marginally informed market participants who think that inflation has peaked. While inflation very likely did peak locally, there are worrying charts that suggest elevated inflation will be persistent. Some commodities have broken out on their yearly charts, which can provide a tailwind for higher prices for years to come. So far there is no evidence in the charts that inflation is dropping precipitously enough to warrant a sudden pivot to easing by the Fed. I believe these marginally informed market participants may get whipsawed if inflation surprises back to the upside in the months or years ahead.
Shorts are getting squeezed. There were plenty of signs in June that the markets needed to rally back up, no matter how bearish the long-term outlook. Many shorts missed these signs or fell victim to smart money misleading them. (Recall that right before the June low, Jamie Dimon warned that a hurricane was coming. Although this is actually true, his timing was likely not coincidental. Smart money loves to trap shorts right at the bottom and make fear-inciting statements when fear is already extreme. Basically, it's squeezing every penny out of uninformed market participants. Sadly, right at the January high Jamie Dimon said the opposite: Recall that in January 2022 he said that he sees the strongest growth in a decade . Again, trying to trap longs at the very top to squeeze every penny out of them. Never trust statements from anyone, unless they can back it up with a chart!). So we have been seeing shorts getting squeezed since June and this short squeeze has propelled the stock market higher at an unnatural and unwarranted rate.
Technical reasons that I remain neutral with a bearish bias include:
The weekly stochastic RSI is over-extended to the upside and ready to oscillate back down. While it's possible that price can continue higher or consolidate, despite a declining stochastic RSI, the risk-to-reward does not support rushing into long positions at this point in time.
The weekly candle is still within the Ichimoku Cloud which can act as resistance. See chart below
Other reasons that I remain neutral with a bearish bias:
From late August through mid- to late-October stock market returns have historically remained muted or have declined.
While some can argue that the VIX has broken down its trend line, I remain cautious whenever the VIX and the VVIX are so suppressed to the downside going in the August to October timeframe. This is typically a volatile part of the year. Few people noticed that last week, the weekly RSI of the VIX was the lowest in nearly a decade. This does not make any sense. Being a gauge of fear, I find it hard to believe that the fear among market participants last week was the lowest in nearly a decade (from a weekly RSI perspective). I believe that the VIX has been artificially low lately, and although I can only speculate why, I know one thing for certain: the risk-to-reward does not support entering a whole bunch of long positions at this time. Do not get caught up in the FOMO.
The FED is only now just beginning to accelerate the roll-off of assets from its balance sheet. It's hard to imagine this action facilitating a bull run that breezes past new all-time highs. The value of the FED's assets is equal to a very sizable percentage of the total stock market capitalization. Rolling these assets off its balance sheet will de-leverage risk assets. Market participants buying into a rally as the Fed accelerates balance sheet roll-off is essentially fighting the Fed in my opinion. The Fed has only rolled off about 1% of its balance and we had one of the worst first 6 months of the year in stock market history.
Finally, as noted above the yield curve has inverted. This means we are in a late-cycle rally. So if I am to add any longs, it will be in sectors that do well in the late cycle: Utilities, Telecom, Healthcare, and Consumer Staples. With that said, I will play very defensively and use fairly tight stops since many risk assets are still historically overvalued and overbought. I will look for strong bullish setups in only these sectors. I also see U.S. Treasuries as attractive if the Eurodollar Futures and the terminal rate remains steady, and assuming the Fed does not get crazy with its balance sheet roll-off.
In summary, virtually all of the charts I have seen show that there will likely be a significant recession in the coming year(s). Be skeptical of strong rallies while the yield curve is inverted. Trade safe, never trade on emotion, and have a plan before you enter into a trade. Good luck with your trading!
Spy Possible Outcomes Short/longFirst thing i want to say is we've had a crazy month and anything is possible so dont take any of my ideas as financial advice. im only 16 with 2 very crazy years of experience.
1. . My first idea, and the one I believe in the most, is that we will bounce up and test the 389.46 level, and with all of the events leading up to that and October being right around the corner, we will most likely rally next week up to that level and then fall back before October (worst month for stocks other than september.) With momentum, I expect us to capitulate and fall straight down to 321.79 at the end of October, leading to the end of midterms, allowing us to bounce and rally through the winter, leading back into the 2023 chaos. After that, I have no idea what will happen; I haven't looked far enough, but this will be around the time ill be looking to buy indivual stocks again.
2.The second idea is we break through that 389.46 level and test that higher trend line around 4.12-4.15 where i expect us to reject near end of october also leading into midterms where we would then have the so said crash to 293.96 (2019 Highs) from november leading into beginning of 2023 having the dark winter everyone was talking about couple months ago.
3.Third and final idea in mind is we break the 398.46 level and we trade sideways unti lmarch of next year forming the right shoulder for the "crash" in march. This idea would kill all option premium for the next 6 months and would be the definion of max pain for option traders.
1 is my go to idea that i believe has the highest probability.
2. is a controversial one because midterms are expected to be bullish for the market and the market is going to be doing the opposite but with all the overseas new could still be a possibility.
3. Also a very controversial idea just threw it in because of the head and shoulders possibility.
I Sold out of basically all my short position i'll be scaling back in through this expected rally.
All these ideas are just ideas so dont take them to heart and please leave any opinions in the comments i will be reading everyones thoughts and criticism as i am just ur average teenager. time to do my homework :)
Keep it respectful and happy trading everyone!
SPY - Long Term Bear View I have drawn an Up Channel here showing the overextension of SPY
A Horizontal can be drawn (in red) that shows a strong support point for price if decline occurs.
The MACD on chart shows the current bear decline state price is in (in orange)
The MACD in my opinion is also very over extended and this orange state will likely continue
Potential Failure in SPYSPY created a S/R Box between 362.17 - 431.73. There was an adjustment bar formed in July. These generated a weak point (danger zone) between 362.17 - 371.04
Should you set your stochastic to be the width of the box that was created (currently 4 bars), Jan - Apr was also a 4 bar box.
When Stochastics move below 30, it is an indication that it is about to challenge the lows.
Currently the stochastic is 17.32, this is suggesting that there is 17.32 of the box range left until the bottom is breached.
The Apr 22 value for the 4 period stochastic was 1.96 suggesting weakness and a challenge of the low.
However, there is a danger zone. 371.04, if prices could bounce from here (and on Sep 23, the price is 374.22 with a low of 373.44) it shows that there is strong support here.
Should prices enter this zone, if fails to hold, the bottom will fall out. The next area of potential support could fall (based on calculations Sep 23) to between 340 - 350.
However, there is still 6 trade periods left in the month. End of the month calculation could result in a lower target range being generated.
Spy Short through inverse etfs or putsPrice floor has been established on 15 minute after capitulation after Powell spoke
On the one day spy is oversold, it usually bounces back after this slightly
I'm going to target 383 to 380 area to short using SQQQ.
The risk-reward of holding a short here is low because of the previous demand zone.
The market could very well dump further but I think the likely hood is low here
I won't go long in this market so I'm going to wait
RPV pure value etf interestingly holds pre-pandemic upchannelThe S&P500 pure value ETF holds 3 supports:
1) the lower channel of pre-pandemic upchannel MINUS the black swan event
2) the 0.286 Fib reversal from pandemic low to ATH
3) my GANN line
FOMC meeting will be the game-changing event. The market may have already priced in a 75 basis point hike & a rally may pursue till the next Nov FED announcement of whether to hike another 75 or 50 points.
