Will history repeat itself? Party until Jan 25thPlease do your DD this is not a financial advice.
The current market crash and bounce seems to be rhyming with the 2000 crash. If you saw my AAPL(attached below) idea, you will see that I believe this is the case and we are going through 2000 crash and eventually 2008 (in about 8 years) deleveraging again. With the CPI and unemployment data out of the way, there is no major event to wait for until earnings; starting with Tesla on the 25th which I think will would start the next downturn in markets if it hasn't started by then.
The two ways this plays out. Both are badHey there friends!
As you can see, I have two resistance trendlines plotted. Both historically have been respected very reasonably. On top of this, id like to mention that my software that signals weakness in the market has been triggered. Although it doesnt 100% predict the absolute top, it does show where weakness is and you can see how it has preformed in the past. With this said, as we test the first of the 2 trendline resistances of this massive megaphone AND test the resistance trendline of the ascending channel, I expect some kind of retrace.
The target would be assumed to be the bottom of the ascending channel, which would be 3836. From there we will see one of two things. Either a breakout of the ascending channel or a bounce from the support line to send us up to test the second of the resistance trendlines in the descending megaphone. If we bounce, im certain it will also test the resistance trendline of the ascending channel. This would line up to be on December 1st with a target of about 4110.
If instead we breakout of the ascending channel when we head down, the target would be 3300 based purely on TA of the ascending channel. But i would like to mention that whenever we find a top, we reject -16.50% in 45 days (this has happened the last two times)
If we go based on that the target would be more like 3200.
Stay fluid friends. Were in for a volatile time
SPXU INVERSE ETF TRADING IDEA FOR FOMC MEETING 3/16/22This is my trading strategy for March 16th, 2022 on the next FOMC meeting. Using inverse 3 x etf is like doing options without options. They track opposite of whatever it is they track. In this case the SPXU does the exact opposite of the SPY S&P 500 ETF .. The spy tracks the S&P 500 markets.
So I'm setting up a position on morning opening day of March 16th, Wednesday with $6,660 position anticipating a 5-8% return x 3x since the SPXU is a 3 x inverse..
Be very careful using 3x inverse or any inverse etf . YOU HAVE TO WATCH THEM LIKE A HAWK. They are not meant for long term or swing trade. They are for 1 day intra day only and can be very dangerous if you don't use them properly. They can also make you quick FAST money , BUT YOU CAN ALSO LOOSE ALL YOUR MONEY IN 1 DAY, if you DON'T KNOW what you are doing..
This is what I am doing. I am not giving trading advice. I simply share some of my trading ideas here...

SPY BIG SHORT,,? -20~30% I hope that never happens. If it reaches a high point within 2-3 weeks. What will happen to the Nasdaq? Do you know about the rate T of stock prices. There is a speed in the stock price tends to rise and fall at a time. Even if the index reaches a high point, it waits for friends who have not yet reached it, and then falls with their hands in their hands. Let's all be honest. The current stock market is not healthy. Bubbles exist. Inflation has the chance to be persistent. We feel it as skin. Let's not fight the FED. Let's avoid the fight. Fed does not protect your assets. A big drop is expected. Once again. I hope not. I recommend reducing technology shares and increasing banking or non-technical shares within a few weeks.
SP500 - SHORT; Nothing but Shorts (SELL!!) here!A ~25% decline from here should be rather quick and uneventful. However, such a decline is likely to be just the first leg on a long road to a full ~70% decline by the end of this full cycle. - Which would be nothing more than a garden variety return to the Historic Norm ! The same goes for all US Indexes and those who are historically informed (or reviewed the evidence, presented in virtually every single recent post) should not be surprised at all.

$SPY July 1st Decision Point - Calls or Puts?SPY Market Breakdown - July 1st, 2020
1H chart of SPY update from previous post, looks like it's fighting to regain this upwards channel it was trending in for the last few months.
I said last post that we were losing steam and if we keep getting more and more 2nd wave corona news I could see $280 puts.
Well no bias here, saw JP on Bloomberg news this morning wearing a face mask talking about how he's printing more money to save the economy and 2nd stimulus round.
Shoutout the homie mike turtle bloomberg
We are faced with 2 scenarios now, at a critical decision moment for the SPY
Scenario 1 - Bullish Case, the price keeps slowly grinding back up and regains this upwards channel before making a move towards $320 resistance level
Scenario 2 - Bearish Case, the price rejects off this trend and bleeds sideways until hitting $302 & $294 respectively
Not giving exact entry/exit points because you as traders also need to chart this out by yourselves and make your own decision. If I just tell you the answer everytime, you will never learn how to actually trade. As always please do your own research, I am not a financial advisor.
