I SPY danger... final pre-updateIf you've been keeping up with my charting, you know that I am still majorly bearish going into March FOMC, OPEX, and even beyond.
There are plenty of reasons.
MACRO: HOT inflation print --> FED is forced into a corner where they have to raise rates
LIQUIDITY: End of QE from the FED (no money printer)
STRUCTURAL FLOWS: Supportive flows end on 03/16 (VixEx)-03/18 (OPEX) and there is essentially a week and a half afterwards where bears will have their chance to pounce prior to supportive EOM/BOM flows coming on again.
PRICE/TA: 20sma has NOT been regained in this period where supportive flows WERE PRESENT. Bulls have had their chance, and have failed at every chance they had to get above the 20sma close and sustain it.
RETAIL POSITIONING/SENTIMENT:
There were 5 weeks straight of inflows from retail. Major bottoms do NOT have INFLOWS. It's quite the opposite. You would have major outflows to signal a bottom. Go to @Norseman1 on Twitter to see his lipper fund flows equity chart.
Continued pouring in of inflows entails that retail has not yet capitulated. Without capitulation, no bottom.
Retail traders are still trading under the mentality of "BTFD" and it shows in the amount of inflow over the past few months.
And what's happening? They're getting absolutely F*'d. Market is down tremendously, but there's still zero fear.
They will continue to buy the dip until they will be forced to capitulate. Once down hard enough, they will liquidate their positions and get out (hence outflows) --> then and only then can we have a major bottom.
That is my honest view and why I have been posting primarily bearish charts.
Please listen :(
------------------------------
PLAN
Whether it's the blue line or the green line overhead as resistance: I don't really care. The bottom line is that SPY has room for more upside in the next few days (remember the original calendar had until 03/14 for bulls to regain). Spy can potentially move up to 432 (blue line resistance) or 440 (green line resistance). IF it even gets there, that is where you open up positions. You can open tomorrow if you wish, but you'll likely have to hold through some major volatility to the upside unless you hedge with shorter dated call options.
Position:
03/25/22 SPY 400p
Targets: 404, 398, 394.5, 383
I'm not saying we get there, so do NOT go all in on your port please for the love of all that is good.
You do NOT need to play big to win big with puts.
You should be primarily cash as I have warned in the previous months.
Play it lightly to the downside. When you start to see actual fear in the markets (news headlines talking about worst crash in history, people calling for SPY below 380, permabulls switching to all in their port on puts, etc.,) - that is when you flip long.
From 03/16-03/18 onwards to EOM/EOQ ~ 03/30, bears have the opportunity to pounce. Structural flows will not be as supportive.
BUT Everything is dependent on the FED. Watch closely for what they do on 03/16. That will determine the course.
If hawkish, my position will win big.
Best of luck traders. Stay nimble :)

SPY bounce off from the support what's next?Today $SPY bounce off from the support line after wallstreet turns bullish in the market with no positive news. i mention this before from the last analysis, that market could bounce around the support line.
the support line is very visible on the 1hr, 4hr and Daily chart. its also very visible that market is making lower highs ( see my trend line in chart ) a possible sign of short term bullish before it head back to
lower again. keep in mind also that FAANG stocks is following the same chart pattern and trend line with SPY. to continue its momentum SPY needs to break the resistance around 437-440 to continue its momentum.
Overall market still looking bearish. swinging will be tough specially with geopolitical issue going on that could shake the market anytime of the day even in pre

THE LAST POINT OF SUPPLY FOR THE SPY!Hey everyone!
Hope all is well. Well damn - what is going on with this world. Oil prices @ $6 in the US! Inflation at the highest since the 70's, the war between Russia and Ukraine, supply issues and sanctions, Evergrande on the brink of collapse.
We are expecting a drop in the market to soon test new lows. This is a very common Wyckoff pattern which can we can trade fractally within each other as shown.
We have price distribution followed our UTAD which price demand failed to push past the upper supply zone. In turn, we have a large price drop with a moving last point of supply between 50% to 0% of the range of the channel. This is extremely common.
The question is have we mitigated enough demand liquidity to allow price to push down below the floor and create new lows? Let me know your thoughts.
Peace, Seb.
$SPY going for correction?$SPY has been trending down for the few weeks now and it gets worst as the geopolitical affects the market.
as you can see, SPY is bout to approach its support level and where it bounce recently after hitting the support level.
but this time is a bit different from previous bounce since market is highly affected with the shortage in commodities specially
with chip makers and other important commodities. on the side note, energy stocks is rising like natural gas, oil, electricity etc.
maybe we're already in the bear market but people still haven't realized it.
also market could bounce if the geopolitical problems stops and can cause a short term bullish run before it pulls back again.
note: techs stocks still looking bearish since it correlates with $SPY most of the tech stocks has simillar patterns like SPY.
just view them in the higher time frame like 1hr, 4hr and daily.

My technical analysis is not to be regarded as investment advice. but for general informational proposes only.
more than a dip, not quite cheap $qqq $spy $vix $vxx MMTH, The percentage of stocks over their 200 day moving average, is a useful tool for clues of the broad market technical trend. Combined with vix volatility index, which measures option premium of at the money options (implied moves), we can get confirmation of changes prices and sentiment. Vix is also called the 'fear index'.
By looking at the chart made here, we can see that the extreme lows in MMTH and extremes highs in vix volatility were major buying opportunities. We also observe the tiny dips in a uptrend that were also minor buyable opportunities. The most difficult part of decision making is determining if current selling is a small dip to be bought or a larger correction to be avoided until concluded.
I dont know if the selling is over, but I do observe that this was not just a tiny buyable dip in the bull trend. I will standby and wait for upside confirmation due to the risk. Especially since fundamentals mark the sp500 above the averages values of 1.5x price to sales and 15 price to earnings, we should be more cautious than greedy when technicals are unclear.
Falling Wedge or Channel?Is it in the blue falling wedge?
Or is SPY in the green descending channel?
One comment turned me over to the idea that it was a green descending channel.
If so, then my thesis for us possibly reaching up to 448 holds (well... that line is declining since last week so now 445 and declining each day).
If not and this is a blue falling wedge, this can be short term resistance.
We shall see!
Regardless, I'm still bearish into March opex and beyond.
Short term, we can go up 10-12 more points on SPY, but I don't see much more after.
Best of luck traders!
Small leverage! :)
SPY HUGE FALLING WEDGE UPDATE *WARNING**WARNING: LOTS OF READING*
tldr; LONG TERM: This is bullish.
DO NOT mistake me for thinking that I am about to say below is saying we will crash all the way down to SPY 200.
Now... onto the post below...
From my previous update:
I was looking for a break of the falling wedge around the 448 level, but that obviously failed.
I was also looking for a bigger bounce from the EOM/BOM flows (yesterday and today) into the higher end range of this falling wedge. Neither of those happened.
Clarification:
When I mention EOM/BOM flows, I do NOT mean that markets will rocket. It's not as simple as that.
Rather, it is to say that the markets are propped up from too significant of a decline.
This applies to pretty much every month of the year where the cycle repeats ON AVERAGE:
-EOM (End of Month) and BOM (Beginning of month) flows support the market until Friday preceding OPEX week(market can move higher if there are two consecutive closes at 1 STD above the 20sma during this period). Most recently in terms of market dynamics: the 20SMA is where market battles between bulls and bears happen the most. They try to claim the 20sma for their side.
*Any 2 consecutive closes at 1 STD above the 20sma for the bulls during window of supportive strength can lead to even higher market prices.
*Any 2 consecutive closes below the 20sma (note nothing to do with STD for the downside) during window of supportive weakness can lead to lower market prices.
-VIXperation Wednesday (usually is when stage 1 of the unwinding of supportive flows begin). Depending on price action, this can have opposite effects. Usually, if this month is heavily hedged (via VIX calls, SPY puts) and price action isn't pushed to the downside, then those contracts will expire worthless and MM delta neutral hedges will unwind, causing price to push to the upside because of short covering. If price action is already pushing toward the downside, price action can actually snowball more to the downside.
-OPEX Friday (stage 2 of unwinding of supportive flows). Similar to the above. Depends on price action and where contracts are placed.
-Week after OPEX Friday leading to EOM (stage 3 and the most critical). Supportive flows are not as present, meaning decline of price action is very much possible in this time period. Two consecutive daily closes below the 20SMA will lead to further decline.
Let's summarize end of February price action:
February VIXpiry Wednesday 02/16/22: Hedges unwound and we squeezed significantly to the upside. *Short covering rally/squeeze
February OPEX Friday 02/18/22: Unwinding of current contracts and hedges, led to significant decline to the downside.
February week after OPEX Tuesday 02/22/22- Thursday 02/24/22: SIGNIFICANT market decline into a sharp reversal on Thursday, leading to Friday and eventually this week EOM/BOM.
Yesterday and today, the supportive flows did NOT move us significantly higher. We haven't even reached the 20sma. Again, this period of supportive flows is where bulls have the opportunity to take control over the 20sma. They are failing to do so at the moment.
This is ominous for the bulls.
This supportive period ends effectively on 03/11-03/14 (start of opex week), so we have a lot of work to do.
Not to mention that in addition, we have FUTURES roll date on 03/10 (not going to get into that...), FOMC speakers, Biden SOTU, etc... things are not looking hot.
*Keep in mind that the big guys can front run the flows any which way, so the market structure above is NOT all-exhaustive.*
---------------------------------------------------------------
What is my plan?
If you didn't know already.... I'm majorly bearish into March OPEX and even beyond. The reason I put downside targets of SPY 404 --> 398 , etc., is because I think that ultimately, we will trade there within the next couple months.
I am primarily cash while playing minor plays to the downside upon ANY rally to the upside. No rally thus far since January has been sustained. Every significant rally has been faded.
Primary position: 03/25/22 SPY 400p
Intra-day plays: Hedge with weekly calls to the upside to endure any squeezes to the upside. Take profit and sell at resistances.
----------------------------------------------------------------
You have to function with the mindset that Mr. Market will do whatever it takes to F*ck the most amount of retail investors possible. That is why you will have extremely volatile swings to both the upside and the downside, while ultimately maintaining a downtrend.
Retail investors from 2020-2021 have been trained by the FED (due to unlimited liquidity) to just BTFD. You can NOT do that anymore. Please listen.
You have to be using VERY little leverage here because price can go against you in an instant.
You should be PRIMARILY cash.
You can play the downside, but put very little money to do so. Trust me, you don't need to put a lot of money in to reap a lot of rewards to playing the downside.
Can SPY Reach and even Break 380's? Absolutely. Will it then lead to a cascade waterfall downwards to SPY 200?
No.
I think what may happen is that we have a capitulation candle, where all retail long call BTFD bros get slaughtered. I can definitely see a HUGE wick below the support line drawn, and then we may have a reversal back above into the falling wedge pattern. If the support line breaks, I foresee retail being forced to capitulate and buy puts at the lows (as retail always does.... which is to buy high and sell low). Once retail has bought puts at the lows, market will reverse upwards.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Be nimble.
Watch the 20sma.
Watch the FED course. Everything is dependent on the FED.
Hawkish behavior will lead to the inevitable decline.
Do NOT be a perma bull or a perma bear.
Respect the price action and ride it.
Best of luck traders.

SPY bounce at 400Ok so the SPY has gotten through the choppy area of the 420s. Now, there are no major supports before it gets to 400. On the chart I drew out 3 possible scenarios, or ways I'm looking for the market to start a bounce at 400. The first one is if we trade down to 400 during the day, especially early in the day, I'd look for the bounce later in that day. The second possibility is if the SPY sells down into close but we are not at 400 yet, and then the SPY opens below 400; BUY THAT OPEN!!!! The last possible I'm look for is if the SPY just sells down into close for the day, getting below 400; it will probably go through that level with relative ease. Don't know what day this will play out but looks like it will be soon, like within a week; but I would not look to play the bullish bounce with options less than a week to expiration. And the reason why, is the last thing I will caution you with, watch out for scenario 1 turning into scenario 3. Where we get below the 400 point level early one day, start bouncing, and then the end of day start selling off and make a new daily low going into the close. That's why you want to give yourself a little bit of time on the options. I'm going on vacation, so if it happens while I'm gone I wanted to give you what I was, am, looking for. I do have take profit stops at those level but if it does it while I'm gone I might not get into bullish positions. Good luck and make that money.
