$SPY bearish, to break April lows?Most people are thinking that we'll see a correction that goes back to the $560 area and then from there, we'll go to new highs. They also don't think it's likely that we'll retest the lows from April and think it's nearly impossible that we'll break the lows. However, my base case is that we will break the lows. Yes, in the past, most dips like the one in April were good buying opportunities, but the chart looks different here. You can see that ever since April, all we've done is consolidate up into a rising wedge. We look set to break down from that in the coming days. If we do break down and are unable to reclaim the highs, then I think my base case will become the highest probability outcome. I think it's likely that the move down will take us to the $424- 402 levels. Let's see what happens.

Flying into the sun or about to get burnt?Market is about to reach all-time highs again. Many trade deals must have been made. Interest rates must have been cut. Wars must have been resolved. Personal debt must have come under control. Corporate debt must have been resolved. Wait, nothing has changed? Things are worse? Well why is the index about to hit new all-time highs? My take is a major fake out. We are about to set a double top as we complete a rising wedge pattern. The rising wedge. What began at the market bottom on 7 April, has remained bound in a channel. If the first pump up was an A followed by the declaration of the channel bottom as B, wave C has last over a month upward. We have wave 3 signals identifying wave 3 of C ending with the high on 19 May. Last week's dip was wave 4 and now we fly high this week. It is unclear if we actually make a new all-time high or fall just short. The below chart has 138.197% extension around 610.63. Inside wave C, my wave 1 was nine days long, and wave 3 was only 8. This points to wave 5 lasting less than 8 days. A common wave 1-3-5 duration in relation to wave 3 is around 114% for 1 and 50% for wave 5. The height of the rising wedge covers 66.82 points. This same distance should provide the first target bottom once we exit the channel, possibly as early as next week. Once the bottom falls, we then examine the double top pattern. Although the neckline stretches far backwards, the bottom is established at the 7 April low. The distance from the neckline to the all-time high in February provides the next possible minimum target bottom by taking this 131.43 drop and subtracting it from the neckline of 481.80. This puts the initial low around 350.37 sometime later this year or early next. There is a perfect storm of calamity brewing with zero resolutions in place or even planned. Do we finally drop or keep rising into the sun?

Rising wedge on SPY - Melt up? or Next leg down? Immediate Bias (Tomorrow): Scenario 1 – Bullish Continuation (Low Probability unless there's a macro catalyst): Breaks above ~$596–$598 cleanly Retests that zone as support (watch 595.50 intraday) Then targets: 600 psychological 604–608 upper resistance channel Possible end-of-month blow-off top: 612–618 Scenario 2 – Pullback / Rejection (More Probable Setup): Rejected at ~596–597 zone (which aligns with upper wedge resistance) Breakdown below $590 intraday Then targets: 587.80 EMA cluster (20/50) If lost → 576.44 next EMA + demand level Followed by major support at 565.87 / 563.43 🔥 Week Ahead Trade Plan (May 20–24) ✅ Bullish Possibility: If NVDA earnings, FOMC minutes, or macro data surprise to the upside Watch for breakout above the red wedge and hold above 600 Target range: 604 → 612 max upside 🚨 Bearish Scenario: Wedge breakdown below ~$590 Momentum cracks down to: 587 576 (watch for bounce) If panic selling → 565–563 (larger time frame buying zone) Volume divergence and overbought EMAs support a potential cool-off. 📅 Monthly Projection (End of May): If wedge breaks down → consolidation range between 563 – 587 If wedge breaks out → blow-off rally up to 612–620, but likely to fade quickly Fed commentary and NVDA earnings on May 22 will be major catalysts 📌 Key Levels Type Price Notes Resistance (R3) 612–618 Final upside blow-off zone (channel top) Resistance (R2) 604 Overhead channel line Resistance (R1) 595–598 Wedge top + major resistance Support (S1) 587 EMA cluster + strong local demand Support (S2) 576 Clean structure + prior breakout Support (S3) 565–563 Confluence of long-term EMAs + trendline 🎯 Trade Setups 📉 Bearish (Favored if no breakout tomorrow): Short 595–597 with stop above 600 Targets: 587 → 576 Optional: Add below wedge break (~590) 📈 Bullish (Confirmation-based): Break + retest of 597–600 Target: 604, then scale out at 612 Avoid front-running long unless you see volume + price close outside wedge

SPY Broke The Sine-Wave Center - Not GoodWe see the 3 tiny arrows—proof that price was rejected by those who knew. The Trend Barrier, once solid support, cracked without resistance. Price dropped right back into the Medianline set. The small pullback? Totally expected—just like the Medianline rules suggest. Then came the brutal drop, textbook-style, straight to the Centerline. The springboard move back up to the U-MLH and the Trend Barrier? No surprise—if you understand the Medianline Framework. Because this is just P2. Also—watch the white line. That’s what I call the Sine Wave. Why does it matter? Because the center point (where the red pullback arrow is) often gets breached in a fake move... right before price reverses hard. From P2: down, down, down... lower than P1. AND THAT SHOULD SCARE THE HELL OUT OF YOU! …if I’m right 😈 But if it fails? Then we’re looking at a monstrous V-shape recovery—one that could send the indexes skyrocketing. So there you have it. What’s your direction? Let me know—and tell me why! §8-)

Bearish Signals: • Volume divergence — Price up, but monthly volume flat-to-declining. Distribution behavior. • Completed 5-wave structure — Indicates exhaustion. • (A)-(B)-(C) Correction Starting: The projection shows: • Wave A targeting ~$420–440. • Wave B dead cat bounce. • Wave C projecting a deeper correction into $300–340 zone (around 0.5 to 0.618 retracement). Fibonacci Confluence Zones: • 0.382 = ~$450 • 0.5 = ~$390 • 0.618 = ~$340 These zones will act as major liquidity pools for institutional entries or macro rebalancing. Macro Headwinds Fuel the Narrative: • Sticky inflation • Rising interest payments on U.S. debt • Deteriorating liquidity (QT regime) • Over-leveraged consumer and commercial debt sectors

Who Benefits from the Dunce Tariff Tsar? The Art of The Short: When SPY Bleeds, Dracula Drinks Today we’re diving deep into the MAX S&P 500 4X Leveraged ETN (SPYU), the ultimate degenerate’s playground for snorting the market when SPY takes a nosedive. Tonight, my fellow nightwalkers, I wipe my mouth after my fangs bite into MAX S&P 500 4X Leveraged ETN (SPYU) the juiciest vein in the market’s pale white supremisist neck, ripe for snorting when SPY collapses under the weight of its own mortal greed. I’m Dracula, your undead degen, and I’ve been snorting the lifeblood of Wall Street since the days of ticker tape and blood-soaked ledgers. Let’s feast. Picture this: it’s 2025, Trump’s slapping tariffs on everything from iPhones to tacos, and the S&P 500’s staggering like a peasant drained dry. SPY’s down 5% in a day, a crimson river flowing for weeks. With SPYU’s 4x leverage, that ETN’s plummeting 20% faster than you can hiss “inverse gang rise up.” You bulls might clutch your pearls, or buy the dip but baby, you just giving me that drip, drip, drip. Here’s the blood ritual: I summon my broker under the moonlight, borrow SPYU shares, sell ‘em at their bloated peak, and slink back to my coffin until the orange man dumps on the market. When SPYU’s rallies, I buy ‘em back, pocketing the difference—20% gains, minus the broker’s measly tithe and some bat-winged fees. The leverage is my coffin nail, amplifying SPY’s death throes into a banquet of tendies. But volatility decay’ll stake you faster than a hedgie fleeing a short squeeze. Snort quick, my pretties. Disclaimer: This is unholy entertainment, not mortal advice. Snorting’s riskier than a sunrise stroll, and you could lose your crypt. Do your own necromancy, don’t YOLO your blood money, and maybe consult a living advisor instead of a WSB vampire. Markets are feral, tariffs are feraler, and SPYU’s the feralest. Feast wise, or crumble to dust. What in the Nosferatu Is SPYU, and Why’s It My Prey? Listen up, you sun-kissed ghouls. SPYU ain’t some mortal ETF and it’s an exchange-traded note, a dark pact scrawled by the Bank of Montreal (BMO), swearing to bleed 4x the daily pulse of the S&P 500 Total Return Index. Four times the thrill, you hear me? If SPY, that sanctimonious index hog, rises 1%, SPYU surges 4%, a moonlit frenzy. But when SPY stumbles 1%, SPYU’s gutted by 4%, and that’s when I, Dracula, snort its essence like fresh blood from a virgin’s neck. It’s my chalice of chaos. Why care? Because the market’s a bloated corpse waiting to be drained, and Trump’s tariffs are the silver dagger. When SPY bleeds, SPYU’s leverage makes it a four-course meal for us snortin’ fiends. The mortals weep; I feast. Bank of Montreal: The Crypt-Keepers Who Sip Regardless SPYU’s birthed by Bank of Montreal—pale Canucks who guzzle maple syrup and hedge under torchlight. As an ETN, it’s no stock hoard, it’s a blood oath, with BMO bound to pay 4x the S&P’s dance. When SPY falls and SPYU’s carcass sinks, BMO’s debt shrivels, like a thrall freed from my thrall. Are they cackling over goblets? Not quite. These coffin-dwellers don’t wager their vault on market whims. They weave dark hedges swaps, futures, maybe cursed options traded in shadow pools. When SPY bleeds, their short futures might fatten their coffers, balancing the SPYU tab. But the true leeching? A 2.95% expense ratio, sucked from your veins whether SPY soars or sinks. It’s their eternal tithe for the win, lose, or draw, they’re sipping. And the twist of the fang? BMO might pawn some risk to swap thralls, other banks, hedge funds, or their own brood. When SPY tanks, those on the hedge’s far side might choke on losses, but their names are buried deeper than my Transylvanian crypt. Prospectuses are murkier than a fog-draped moor, and BMO ain’t etching their secrets in blood. My bet? They keep it in-clan or with beasts who can bear the bite. The real feast is mine (snorting SPYU) and theirs (skimming fees). Trump’s Tariffs: The Rocket Fuel for SPYU Shorts Let’s talk about the big dunce red elephant in the room: Trump’s tariffs. The man’s got a hard-on for trade wars, and 2025’s looking like a sequel to his 2018 tariffpalooza. The 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, 102% on China, and who knows what else. Why’s this a big deal? Tariffs jack up import costs, screw over supply chains, and make everything from cars to CPUs pricier. Companies like Apple, Walmart, and Tesla, big S&P 500 names get hit hard, and SPY feels the pain. When SPY drops, SPYU’s 4x leverage turns a market dip into a bloodbath and that makes my fangs erect like a male pornstar on viagra. Say Trump slaps a more tariff on Chinese goods, and SPY falls another 15% as tech stocks puke. Do the math on how much SPYU goes down in a day. Scale that up with a big position, and you’re buying Lambos while the bulls are crying into their maga cool aid. But tariffs don’t just hit stocks, they spook the whole market. Investors panic, volatility spikes, and leveraged products like SPYU get wild. That’s your cue to strike. The VIX (fear index) shoots up during tariff tantrums, and SPYU’s daily resets mean bigger swings. If you’re nimble, you can ride those red days for fat gains. Just don’t get greedy—tariff news is noisy, and markets can bounce on a single Trump tweet (or whatever he’s posting on Truth Social these days). See that little, indicator I cant publish? Oh, and my little bat-trick? The Sector Value Index (SVI)—my ancient grimoire. It tracks RSI and MFI across SPY’s veins, averages the pulse, and measures the gap to the index. Overbought or oversold, it whispers when the market’s ripe for snorting. When SVI screams “sell,” I pounce.

SPY S&P 500 ETF Potential W-Shaped Recovery Forming We may be witnessing the formation of a W-shaped recovery on the SPY (S&P 500 ETF) – a classic double-bottom structure that often signals a strong reversal after a period of correction or volatility. Let’s dive into the technicals and what this could mean in the sessions ahead. 🔍 The Technical Setup: SPY recently tested key support around the $485-$500 zone, bouncing off that area twice in the past few weeks. This gives us the left leg of the W and the first bottom. After a modest relief rally to ~$520, we saw another pullback – but this second dip failed to break below the first bottom, a hallmark of the W-pattern. As of today, SPY is starting to reclaim ground toward the $517-$520 resistance zone. If bulls can push through this neckline area, especially with volume confirmation, we could see a breakout that targets the $530-$535 area in the short term. 🔑 Key Levels to Watch: Support: $490-$500 (double-bottom support zone) Neckline/Resistance: $530 Breakout Target: $550 (previous highs) Invalidation: A break below $490 with volume could invalidate the W-recovery idea and shift bias bearish. 📊 Momentum & Volume: RSI is climbing back above the 50 level – bullish momentum building. MACD shows a potential crossover forming, hinting at a shift in trend. Watch for increasing buy volume as SPY approaches the neckline – that’s where the bulls will need to step up. 🧠 Macro & Earnings Angle: Don’t forget – we’re entering a heavy earnings season and rate cut expectations are still a wildcard. A dovish tone from the Fed and strong corporate results could be the fuel that sends SPY higher to complete this W-shaped recovery. 🧭 Final Thoughts: This is a high-probability setup if neckline resistance is broken cleanly. Wait for confirmation before going heavy – fakeouts are common in double-bottom scenarios. If we do get the breakout, we may be looking at a broader market rebound going into summer. 🔔 Set alerts near $525. A confirmed breakout could mean the bulls are back in charge.

SPY: Breaking Levels; TASPY broke down the Weekly demand line and now looking to break the Monthly demand. Looking to possibly test the bottome weekly trendline. Possibly a 530 price target and if weakness continues, possibly below more to 520 then 510.46 to fully retest that bottom trendline. The market has bene crazy, people calling bottom, wanting to catch the reversal. I mean, I would want to catch this “V” up too, but have to see if it keeps trending down to the bottom trendline.

End of hibernation for the bears?AMEX:SPY is at a pivotal point and could potentially be at the top of the bullish cycle that began in October 2022. If this prediction proves accurate, I think we could see a maximum low of $510 for this year. There are a couple of caveats, including one that will be a clear indicator of whether or not this wave count is accurate, which I will explain later. On the 1000R chart ($10), this uptrend was confirmed by Supertrend and volume activity. Volume drastically increased at the start of Wave (3) in March 2023 and did not taper off until the start of Wave (4) in July 2024. This was the strongest impulse in the trend, which is common for Wave 3. You can also see the ADX line of the DMI indicator (white line) was at its highest level during that period. Assuming Wave (5) is already complete, we can observe that the volume in Wave (3) was considerably less than Wave (5). Other observations supporting this wave count: - Wave (4) retracing into the territory of Wave 4 of (3) - Alternation in corrective patterns between Wave (2) and Wave (4); flat in (2) and straight down in (4) - Wave (5) extending to nearly 1.618 of (1) While the points I’ve made so far suggest that the market may be on the verge of a crash, the image gets more complicated when you take a closer look on the 250R chart ($2.50). I’ll start with what I’m counting as Wave 4 of (5). The price ended at ATH in Wave 3 and then corrected in an unmistakable five wave descending wedge pattern. This can only be a fourth wave of a larger impulse, so we can conclude with a fair amount of confidence that the wave that follows will be the last. Here is where things get interesting. The price moved from $575 on January 13th to a slightly higher ATH of $609.24 on January 24th before being rejected again. This uptrend unfolded in a typical bullish pattern and left a notable gap at $584, which is the only gap still left unfilled. The trend change is confirmed on the moving averages. Notice the serious drop in volume that followed as well. Despite the shift in volume, there are two issues I have with this wave count that are preventing me from calling this a confirmed correction: 1. Wave 5 of (5) was awfully short and only extended roughly $2 above the end of Wave 3 of (5). This does not break any rules, but it is unusual. 2. What I have labelled as Wave B of Wave (1) or (A) of the correction made a new ATH on Friday February 14th, which should invalidate this wave count since the end of Wave 5 of (5) should be the peak. The second point is why some may think that we are about to resume the larger bull trend, however there is a possibility that they are mistaken based off the PA on the actual index SP:SPX and futures CME_MINI:ES1! . On the SP:SPX chart, we can see that the index did not break the ATH at $6128.18 set on January 25th, and instead rejected at $6,127.24. CME_MINI:ES1! also failed to notch a new ATH on Friday and I have observed the price action create a nearly perfect bearish butterfly pattern. Also notice how the volume is significantly lower than in the uptrend that began on January 31st. So the question remains: are we at a tipping point or will the bulls regain control? Right now it’s unclear, but I will keep my bearish sentiment until SP:SPX makes a new ATH, which will invalidate this theory. Since only the ETF that tracks it only made a slightly higher high on low volume, I’m skeptical of the PA on AMEX:SPY at the moment. This is why I entered puts on Friday. If the trade plays out, I expect the price to quickly move to fill the gap at $584, which is still conveniently located at what I cam considering the 1.236 extension of Wave A, which is a common target extension in flat corrections. I will keep my puts open until this idea is invalidated, as the Wave C drop will likely be caused by a news event that could come at any time. Let me know if you guys are seeing the same thing or something different. Good luck to all!
