SPY S&P 500 Compared To 2008 - Will We Follow The Same Pattern?The daily chart for the S&P 500 looks eerily similar to the chart from the 2008 crash. We have already crossed below the VWMA 100 and VWMA 500 now which are both historically very supportive moving averages. I think it's very possible we chop around in this area for the next couple weeks while we wait for the VWMA 100 to cross below the VWMA 500, but if we can't stay supportive back above the VWMA 500, it will likely fall pretty hard. If it's anything like the 2008 crash, it should be a steep drop from here, but there are a lot of other factors at play so we will just have to wait and see.
The 2008 drop fell 56% from its high over about 510 days. If we perform the same this time, that would mean a drop to around $210 that would happen around the middle of 2023. Again this is just if we repeat the exact same thing statistically. $210 is also the low from the 2020 pandemic crash and a likely area for it to hold if it does make it down that far.
Something to note though is that when matching the two timeframe's chart patterns, the 2008 chart pattern took twice as long to play out. So with the bottom reaching a 56% drop over 510 days, it looks very extended and not very similar to the timeline from 2008. This makes me consider that if we do follow the pattern from 2008, it may happen in a shorter timeframe such as a year or so. This is purely speculative and obviously there are a lot of other things that factor into this, but I'm just comparing chart patterns here as possible outcomes.
We should see some good support in that purple cloud though on the way down. Those are the EMA 1000 and EMA 2000 which I are typically very strong support/resistance.
If we do follow the same pattern as 2008, I'm waiting for price to reclaim and stay supportive above the VWMA 100 before entering LEAP Calls when it rebounds. Then wait for price and the VWMA 100 to get back above the VWMA 500 for confirmation of another actual bull run to begin (but that could take 2+ years to happen again if this scenario plays out).
Drop your thoughts in the comments, I'm curious to hear what others have to say on this comparison.

MM False Bearish Breakout (SPY) Although I am titling this idea as "Long", this is more neutral than long, although it is geared towards Long.
As we can see, many stocks such as $FB are down nearly 50%. This includes $NFLX and many others. That being said, $SPY is only down about 17% , far less compared to many other major stocks (AMZN is > 40% down from its highs!).
One of two things are likely to happen.
1. $SPY possibly falls a little bit lower, and then rips up 6-12% points before it eventually makes a longer term dive, or
2. The more likely option: $SPY and other stocks find temporary bottoms soon (not necessarily today or tomorrow, although not impossible), and then starts a new trend which is either more continued consolidation, or the beginning or continuation of the old uptrend.
EITHER WAY, stocks are likely to find some sort of temporary "bottom", and then rip from there.
Again, consult the Fear and Greed Index: 20: Extremely Fearful.

Even if we are heading into a recession (as many around me and people in the news are pointing to), even in the 2008 housing crash, on the way down the overall market made 6% jumps, 10% jumps, some even up to 15% jumps. As technical analysts we must take advantage of these swings and use them to our advantage.
We Know that stocks such as $AMZN, $GOOG, $FB will likely do some sort of DCB, or retracement. When this occurs it will propel the overall market to rip up potentially bringing it into a new uptrend thus around now and the next few weeks could be a great buying opportunity for new investors... That is of course all relies on whether or not $SPY can hold above the trend lines I drew all the way back from August 2021. If price action cannot quickly shoot up above support, and continues to fall from there (potentially coming back up to go down again) then we are in for a not-so-fun ride.
Let me know what you all think in the comments below! This post was kind of rushed since I have been off of Trading View for two years getting more practical experience and knowledge of TA, and was itching to do another post since I forgot about this site. I plan on doing more posts here in the near future to get more feedback.
I am always learning, so please feel free to reach out to me and let me know personally what you think of my TA, or just write it in the comments!
Good luck everyone!

SPY at 400, close bearish and go bullishPutting this out a head of time. So you can get your plan ready to go. As the SPY gets to 400, close bearish positions and go bullish. The 400 price level will fill the open gap from April 2021, and a target I have planned for since December. I'd imagine the VIX will also be spiking. I will be picking up Sep '22 430 calls, as I expect we will have a bounce that lasts probably 2 months. I will have more analysis in my weekly outlook YouTube video later today. Good luck traders.
Backtesting the FOMC meetings: are the rate hikes priced in?I’m going to profit off of the fact that next Tuesday (May 3rd) the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) main meeting will take place to backtest how this event affects the markets (focusing on Bitcoin but in the end all the markets are connected). Firstly, I’m going to talk about what I expect Jerome Powell to say in the upcoming meeting, and then I’ll explain how they affect price. Lastly, I’ll estimate some technical targets.
Meeting expectations
So briefly, the results of the last CPI were 7.5% year over year (YoY) inflation, not above nor below the expectations. The jobs report that came out on March 31st showed signs of rising wages and a decrease in unemployment. As these events are already priced in as they happened weeks ago, the approach I want to take on this data is that the Fed wants to keep their position, not too dovish but not too hawkish, as the expectations are being met.
The thing that the Fed has looked more at is the current conflict in Ukraine, which affected supply chains but, surprisingly, didn’t reduce consumer demand. And this means that they will have to start being more aggressive on the next rate hikes, announcing 50 basis points (bps) in the next two meetings.
Regarding this unpredictable situation, if they keep the same position (which I see likely), they would want to return to 25 bps hikes as soon as they can.
The market reaction
With all that said, the Fed is likely to maintain their ideas, so I’ll dive into the backtesting part of the article. If we take the distance between every meeting since January 2021 and the next swing high/low (in percentages), and do an average excluding the outliers, we get around 8% move to the upside after every meeting. Note that this is usually driven by momentum, and the market reaction in the long-term may be totally different (as we see in November and December).
However, the Fed has changed (and thus the market reactions) since they said inflation is no ‘longer’ transitory. The odds of a recession started to get higher and the fear kicked in. Then, in January, I think the price reacted positively as the Federal Reserve showed that they might not turn hawkish. And the same happened in the last meeting, when everyone feared the consequences of the war.
Nothing can change now: we have a catalyst (the Fed announcing they’re going to hike 50 bps instead of 25), markets have trended down before the meeting and technical analysis, though especially on-chain analysis are still showing bullish signs.
Targets based on technical analysis
Before anything, I’m still confident we have to take the liquidity below $37k, which I expect to see at the start of the week, before the FOMC. Usually liquidity taking action implies that there is going to be a bounce just after the price is reached, so this makes percent sense if we add the volatility that there should be during the meeting.
In the next few days after it, I’d expect at least the high Bitcoin has set a few days ago at $40.4k to be taken, which is a 10% upside from $37k (close to the average move since 2021). If we end up going higher I’d expect the fair value gap (or FVG) at $45k to fill, which would represent a 22% move (similar to the last two meetings).
Lastly, I’d expect the SPY to move similarly and try to consolidate somewhere around $440 as most earnings haven’t been bad, with the only big exception being Amazon.
Descending Broadening Wedge - #AAPL Descending Broadening Wedge ( Reversal pattern )
$AAPL
Price makes a low and rises. We then track price as it rises away from the low. We are looking for lower highs and lower lows in a tight range.
The lower highs make a falling trendline, this forms the upper boundary to our pattern. The lower lows make a lower falling trendline, this forms the lower boundary to our pattern.
With the Descending Broadening Wedge formation we are looking for two touches to each trendline.
Both the upper and lower trendlines should fall. The lower trend line should fall more steeply than the upper trendline thus forming the broadening wedge.
Tall and wide patterns work better than short and narrow patterns.
Descending Broadening Wedges tend to breakout upwards.
Swing traders can trade the pattern from top to bottom and from bottom to top.
After the trendlines are formed, as soon as price touches the upper trendline go short. Cover this short (exit the trade) when price reaches the lower trendline.
As price touches the lower trendline go long (buy). Place your stop below the lower trendline. Trade price upwards to the upper trendline. Exit this trade here.
When price breaks the upper trendline and closes above it this signals a breakout. Go long (buy) here.
The target is the first (highest) high in the pattern.
Spy heading to 465.. . then 470...As I have been stating for a while, it it not a BEAR market.
I expect Monday to be a Green day and a GREEN week.
I will not be surprised if it gaps up on Monday.
There is a resistance at 445 range but it will break through.
We will see 470 before we see 420s..but first we will touch 465 first.. One step at a time..
The stock market moves are not logical. If it was, it won't be at this price right now.
So the employment reports, inflation, UKraine crisis, Covid, etc.. is all irrelevant. Only thing it matters is PRICE action.

SPY easily bullish from hereIn my Market Outlook video from this past Friday, I mentioned that if the SPY gets above the daily high from 4/12 (last Tuesday) we will be going higher. This morning we will be gapping over that level (yesterday we closed a little below it), so look for the quick dip in the open time and buy it up. Be bullish!
$SPY 500: Strong Bullish Divergence!⭐7.86 Fib Mounted as strong support confirmed by a significant amount of volume (425) This support is valid by the VPVR and Bullish Divergence on the MFI.
⭐6.18 Fib Support mounted with large volume. This support 435 is valid due to the large VPVR node + volume.
⭐446 Resistance confirmed by VPVR and selling volume + Ichimoku Cloud Resistance.
⭐453 Resistance confirmed by 2.32 Fib and large VPVR node + selling volume.
⭐For bullish price action a 3D close above 446 is needed to reclaim Ichimoku Cloud support.
⭐Strong Bullish Divergence on the MFI hints for a breakout
⭐Options Chain bullish 70k Volume + 20k Open Interest at 450 which makes it a likely target. Lower targets than this are unlikely due to the bullish options chain.

QQQ (and SPY) down after hours from NFLX earning, BUYNFLX is garbage and really never should have been in the same conversation as other big tech name, the so called FANG. To me the N was always NVDA. NFLX had it's growth period but really never should have been considered a big deal after DIS announced Disney+. Disney+ is where streaming is at currently. Another thing is the current societal environment. PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF BEING LOCKED DOWN. People have started traveling, per DAL earnings last week. DAL is seeing all time demand. So, it's not that people are cutting back expenses or anything like that; it's that people are wanting to go play.
Last thing, MSFT, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, NFLX, NVDA, AMD, TSLA, FB, DIS; I'd ask you which one doesn't belong... Hopefully you said NFLX, nothing about them makes them on par with the others; even close. The fact that the market after hours has responded so bearishly to a company that irrelevant is just an opportunity. I'd be surprised if we stayed down all night with futures. The real key to earnings will be tomorrow with TSLA. I'd expect them to say, they have strong demand, but the key with them will be what they say about battery supply chain. If it's not a problem, the market rips higher. Key though is TSLA demand; are people spending money.
All this to wrap up with this, buying opportunity!!!
Heading toward 470.The chart shows it is still bullish if you look at it from larger time frame.
The resistance area has been drawn to indicate where it might fall before it needs to shoot up.
It has been numbered to show the path where the Target price might hit.
This is future prediction which can change.
If you are trading swing options, you should be buying options 4 to 6 months until expiration so your time decay does not get eaten up.
John 13 35 By this everyone will know that you are Christian, if you love one another.”
Spx500 Weekly OutlookShould start this week with 2 or 3 bearish days until we get into the FVG. From here we can look to take longs as a reaction from it being filled. Not sure if it will switch bullish but should get a good push up from there at the very least.
Goodluck this week and feel free to leave your opinion below!
Again.. heading toward 470s... What to expect next week:
Scenario 1: It will shoot up and test resistance 465 and overcome it and hit 470s
Scenario 2: It will drop to 438 - 439 and bounce off and resume bullish trend...and toward 470s..
What likely to happen: Scenario 1
What if Scenario 2 happens? I would go long at 438 -439 price range..
In general, the market goes against the mass sentiment. If the mass thinks it will go up, it will likely go down and vice versa.
Don't trust media. Don't trust the Fed. Don't even trust inflation numbers. Don't even trust the VIX.
Market is trying to make money. Anything they offer as important tool for you, it is to go against you.

Are you a real Christian of fake Christian? Here is what Jesus said to be a real true Christian.
A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’ 37Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me; 38and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
Do you love Jesus more than anyone in your life? If the answer is NO.. you are not a Christian..according to this bible verse. Make sure you pray to Jesus everyday and obey him. Learn to hear his voice and have him guide you everyday. This life is like a penny. You will die sooner or later. Life in heaven is forever.. is like a billion dollars. Invest in billion dollars rather than a penny.
Disclaimer: This is just my opinion. I am not a financial advisor. I live and die for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who died for my sins on the cross so I can have life. I was breathing and enjoying life but I was spiritually dead when I didn't know Jesus. Once I woke he was real, my life has forever changed. If you make money, make sure to share with the needy. Make sure you glorify Jesus in every aspect of your life by thanking him by your actions and conduct and not by just words.
SPY GOING UP SOON?Hey everyone! As you can see a few days ago SPY rejected that trendline and came down which also brought down cryptos. However, based on my indicators, 4hr and daily stoch rsi is oversold which leads to a potential reversal soon. If you want to be extra careful, you can either long here and set profit at resistance with stops.
