SPYMonday game plan Will look for a retrace to 286 / 285 area for a wave 4 within our 5 wave count higher. Once the retrace hits and if it holds, think it will make a push up to 288.50. If it can claim and hold there, next target is 292. Note my yellow box though. A higher high above 288.51 will mark the higher high of this 5th wave within the overall current wedge up we are in (zoom out and see the white trend lines). Generally when the 5th wave in a wedge makes the higher high (or lower low) you see reversal. I mark the yellow box because at that point I will be exiting any longs I have as I do not want to take on that risk just for a potential few more points. Despite that it can run up to 292, I personally view that with the higher high at or above 288.51, it not only happens to be within the 5th wave of this wedge, BUT IT also will be within our current 5 wave micro count up. So, any moves I do tomorrow will be a small day trade capturing the bounce from the wave 4 retrace. I’ll hold a long for 292 target if, and ONLY IF, I capture a good entry from wave 4 and have a decent enough profit to take some off and leave something on as a runner. **** IF market gaps up tomorrow, will not be jumping in until price action forms. Will wait and see because then our wave 3 started Friday may not be over and may extend.

SPYThis is why I trade zones: to avoid choppy days and not let myself be swayed by the news. After today, I think we are on our way up of a small 5 wave impulse move up, starting wave 3 right at the end of day. My thoughts is this will complete the wave C up of this overall market relief rally. Will review charts over weekend and verify everything but thinking we can push for the 288 level and try to run for the 292 level. Around 292 is where I will look to enter shorts and to begin the overall market move down. SO I am still leaning bearish, again, until price breaks a higher high invalidation point.

SPY quick updateWell recount update as /es and SPY made a higher high after hours and broke 284. As my previous post, break up we visit 282, as we blew past that after hours and broke 284 (next target), will look for 288.50, which happens to be where after hours is currently sitting. So couple things I’ll watch tomorrow. 1) will look for retrace to demand at 284. If it holds, will expect it to push back to 288 and try for a close above 2) if 288 just holds out, will just continue to sit back! This is still a cautious zone for me If we can get a close above 288, then target will be 292. The 292 area is the .618 retrace of overall market drop AND 292 area just happens to coincide with the 1.272x length of wave C up (wave C = length of wave A generally 1x - 1.2x). And it is also a big supply area Game plan is if we retrace to demand, will enter a small long. If we don’t retrace I’m going to wait

SPYStill overall leaning to downside. Things I’m watching: 1) went into today expecting a lot of up and down chop and think we got that today; 2) with the inside day, i) think if we break above 280.03 we can go revisit 282 area quick; or ii) we break 275.76 we can go down to 273 area. 3) if we break up, it looks like we could be in an abc retrace for wave (ii) (in red) and will watch for potential entry to short; 4) if we break down, will look for a bounce from demand to indicate wave (i) down is in and we will start to build an abc up for the wave (ii) retrace I’m not in a current position with SPY because I think we are in such a large chop zone right around key levels (around a lot of key levels with individual equities too, I.e. AAPL). If we break up, I’ll lean to watching it as a wave ii and look for short entry for a wave iii down. We break down, will think about watching for an entry for wave ii retrace up

4 Ideas on Where the Bulltrap EndsToday we had another rejection off the 275 area, just shy of the 0.618 fib retracement level, and a potential double top pattern is now forming here. However, given that the previous double top pattern at 263 led to a bullish continuation pattern, I could potentially see the 0.618 fib being broken after a run-up from the lower trend line support. This would extend the bull trap, shaking off even more shorts, bring us up to the 0.768 fib retracement level. This area is a key area for a sell-off and trend reversal.

SPY TechnicalsFew things to identify: #1 V/Spike pattern --> typically a reversal but arguments could be had that this was on the both top and bottom ie Jan/Feb was a blowoff and a correction/reaction should have happened anyways like in Jan 2018. On the bottom, I'm comparing it to 2018. It's the most recent example of the pattern and was a wonderful trade for anyone who acted on it as 2018 was such a profitable year. (Though I do not necessarily agree with motivation behind QE) #2 Fib levels, recovered up to 38.2% today from 340 to 218 (ish), wouldn't be surprised if we react down to 23.6% (~245) over the next two days but unless something else is released about Covid, energy, etc, I wouldn't expect a dip beneath 245 #3 Volume profile: There's a lot of resistance above price so in an ideal world, the stimulus package would provide the momentum to penetrate it but there is still plenty of uncertainty in the world so don't be surprised by sideways trading #4 MACD: it has crossed up so from a technical purist standpoint we are safe at least for a little bit and this should ideally represent a bullish indicator to penetrate the 38.2% level/heavy volume prices Conclusion: Next couple days = bearish, next week = flat/break above 38.2% level

SPY, Which support will stand a chance against new black swan?Hi, traders. My name is Lukas and I am a beginner in trading, respectively, I only trade 6 months. But that means I have to do the necessary analyzes without it I can't trade. I want to show you how I work on myself and document my beginnings. I use Vix and my strategy is built on to return to average. I highlight the important support levels and resistances that flow from the volume profile, all drawn on graph. These zones determine the ability to respond in some way to the market from 1 to 3, with 1 being the largest. Short description of analysis: We are experiencing negative records that have never been here before. Let us be grateful that we are experiencing something like this, because we will gain experience about markets that they do not even describe in 1000 books and movies. Back to analysis. We can see strong support zones that confirm that markets have already responded to these zones in the past. But we are in a very pessimistic period of time, where markets can fall 10% per day. Focus on long periods, even one year. We are looking for the bottom now, but we will rise soon.Of course, my analysis does not serve like market forecasts and I am not responsible for your trades if you use my analysis for your own trades.

SPX Support Levels (Nearing buy levels)SPX has been hit hard lately but I think we are now closer to support levels that should be watched closely. I have a few stocks with market cap slashed in half and/or are more than 50% down that I am watching. As I mentioned in my last $AAPL idea, this downturn will move fast now before the fed rate cut and any stimulus package. I believe that we hold the 200MA (second support in the chart) if not then we have a long way down to Dec 2018 lows. I know the expert will blame corona virus but digging deeper, the market was overly overvalued and needed to sell off with or without the corona virus. Now, the corona virus could lead us into a recession in which case whatever extended bounce we get with the stimulus package and rate cut will be temporary.

This is going to hurt some feelings either way How bout those algos this morning huh? Aggressive. Obviously this is going to resolve one of two ways. Bear case - We retested the long term trend line today barring any face rip move higher. With the $320 target hit (albeit for literally 1 minute) and floating around this price level we should head down to retest the gap if we do head lower. If for some reason we break the intermediate term trend line and head back down to the $311-$309 area watch for that head and shoulders i posted about a week or two ago. The fact of the matter is the market structure is garbage and we have gaps all the way down to $292. So if something catastrophic happens we could head back down and retest the $300 former breakout area, but i see that as unlikely. What i do see as more likely is a sell the news event on this "Phase 1" trade deal consider we have a signing date, but no one's even seen the details yet. So that tells me the administration is trying to preemptively do some damage control. We'll see where the big money wants to take us. We may see some volatility in the beginning of the year as firms post gains for 2020 they didn't book for 2019, and in that case look for a minor pullback to the gap fill area as i mentioned earlier. If we bust through that look for support around $314. Bull case - All the big money comes in the 2nd and sees everything as cheap and starts buying. There is what looks like a big ass bullflag printing on /ES. The problem is literally every retail trader who knows what their doing probably went short yesterday. And if we're all expecting a move lower that's when they take our lunch money and rip everything higher, and honestly i see that as more likely. They'll pin it on the "phase 1 trade deal" being signed and we're off towards $3500 in the SPX to further elongate this wizard of oz market we're in. Good news is good news, bad news is good news, and no news is good news and then we hit the start of a new earnings season. We'll see how it plays out but i guarantee some people are going to get burnt either way we go. Oh yea, forgot to mention - The small caps are positive today, again something i use as a leading indicator. This is not trading advice. All of this is based off of TA and should only be construed as opinion.

Possible reversal on the major indices So after the last few trading sessions melting upwards in thin volume it doesn't take much to reverse and plow through that thin volume. But, today's selling was light, and also thin volume. If you were just going off the charts it does show that we had a daily reversal and then pivot confirmation from Friday. Today's daily ended just below the long term trend line i noted in my last few posts. On the intraday we hit the .5 fib retracement on the nose and then finished basically at the lows of the day with what i see as a short cover rally there at the end. In SPY we filled the gap, but in the SPX we did not. Keep that in mind. That is bullish. BUT, on the other hand we did have an impulsive break down from an ascending wedge as well. And on top of that we went up and tried to retest the trend line. We did retest the former breakout area around 320 on SPY which was a retracement target i had. Now obviously this could go one of two ways. I see us either gapping up tomorrow morning and trapping everyone who was frothing at the mouth to go short or gapping down either into or through the gap on SPX and into the 320 resistance area on SPY. IWM did not show as much sell strength and actually was at it's 100 period average volume, which could be a leading indicator. It hit the top of a previously broken trend line and bounced directly off of it after printing a reversal candle Friday. I'm 90% sure this pullback is just that, a pullback. It's most likely people taking profit or re-positioning. If we do break or gap down below $320 expect a test of the gap around $317.50. Also, don't get sucked into this. Just like a lot of traders are trapped at the tops of stocks like TSLA and AMZN this could turn right around and rip your face off once institutional money gets back in the driver seat. This is all barring some huge macro event like the trade deal or repo markets blowing up and if that's the case we have a completely different story on our hands. This is not trading advice. All of this is based off of TA and should only be construed as opinion.

SPX SPY S&P 500 Long Target 3,250 - 3,500From the 50% retracement of the S&P, we're able to project the target of 3,250 - 3,500 for SPX (325 - 350 for SPY). Before this happens, I think it's possible, although not likely, that the S&P reverses to 2,640 level before going up and forming an inverted head and shoulders. Note: I'm not a bull or bear nor did I factor fundamentals into my analysis (nor did I try). Yes I'm aware of the national debt crisis and some economic indicators screaming incoming recession.

Break, possible recapture, of the 2008-2016 uptrend line In my last post i was stating i was expecting to see a break of the trendline starting from the lows of 2009 and 2016 that we broke in Q4 of last year. Today we had a break of that trendline with what seems like conviction. Looking for a confirmation and then a retest at some point. I don't want to count my chickens too early here but it looks like the start of a parabolic move for the indices, a recapture of this trend line is huge in my opinion. The head and shoulders i mentioned could still be in play if we do retest, and subsequently fail to break out. If we do safely get above this trend line i will be sufficiently convinced that a correction is not coming any time soon until the next macro event (trade, economy, repo market, credit crisis) which honestly could come out of nowhere to smoke everyone down, so keep your head on a swivel. BUT, keep in mind we still haven't broke out of the top of the channel on the hourly. Overall we're bullish until we're not. Still holding my puts and have a target of $322.50. I'm also adding the same weekly chart which has not shown a break out and is still within the ascending wedge. ALSO - Be advised that SPY apparently was to have an ex dividend payout tomorrow. If that is correct we will most likely open about $1.20-$1.50 lower on the underlying. Be advised: This is not trading advice. This is based purely off of TA and is not a trading idea.
