Big corporations rolling over after months of relentless risingThe current earnings season in the United States brought forth intriguing results. Nevertheless, we have seen some adverse reactions to relatively good results. For example, Alphabet (Google) lost about 10% following its quarterly earnings on Tuesday, despite its revenues and net income soaring (YoY) in 3Q23 by a significant margin (though it is important to note that the company missed some of the analysts’ estimates).
Based on multiple observations, we might be at the brink of rollover in the highly capitalized corporations (following months of relentless climb higher). This potential rollover represents a significant danger to the performance of the U.S. stock market indices (which were driven to heights mainly by these large companies). Now, they might start being responsible for driving them down.
With that said, we want to bring attention to the small caps, particularly Russel 2000. Unlike SPX or NDX, this index has not gone through an immense rally over the past year (something many people chose to ignore, calling for a genuine bull market). In fact, RUT is down about 6.7% year-to-date, telling us a completely different story about the health of the economy than SPX or NDX. In addition, we would argue that a lot of economic data reflects a better picture of the economy than reality suggests. As a result, we want to raise a word of caution to market participants.

Volatility stays elevated amid rising uncertaintyIt has been about twenty days since SPX marked a high near $4,607. Back then, we highlighted the importance of watching the Chinese stock market in order to get more clues about what could be waiting for the U.S. indices (specifically, we mentioned a rollover in the Chinese stocks and the spillover effect). Since then, SPX drifted slightly lower, approximately 3.7%. Meanwhile, Chinese indices dropped significantly more. In particular, Hang Seng Index erased more than 10%, and Shanghai Composite Index lost about 5%. While all these figures are not yet all doom and gloom, the weakness in the global markets should not be overlooked easily, especially as we are still seeing the situation in China unravel. Therefore, we are paying close attention to technical indicators like MACD, Stochastic, and RSI on a daily time frame. All three indicators are in a bearish constellation, with MACD approaching the midpoint. If it breaks below zero, it will greatly bolster the bearish case for SPX in the short term. In such a scenario, we would expect SPX to continue falling to the area between $4,250 and $4,350.

Uncertainty spreads among investors as they await more dataIn the aftermath of the latest Federal Reserve (FED) meeting and subsequent 25 basis points rate hike, SPX has been experiencing fluctuating price action, oscillating primarily between $4,520 and $4,600. This range-bound activity could indicate investors’ caution as they grapple with the implications of the FED's policy changes and monitor the incoming economic data to ascertain the overall market direction. Today, we will get an update on S&P Global Manufacturing PMI, ISM Manufacturing PMI, ISM Manufacturing Employment, and JOLTs Job Openings (note that we are not listing every data release, only ones important to us). On Thursday, we will get more information on initial jobless claims, S&P Global Services PMI, S&P Global Composite PMI, and ISM Services PMI. Then finally, on Friday, the unemployment rate and non-farm payrolls are scheduled to come out. We will wait for these figures and reassess our views accordingly.

Yellow arrows indicate the divergence between the price and technical indicators MACD and RSI; in addition to that, on the MACD’s graph, the signal line can be seen breaking above the MACD line, which is slightly bearish (but it could still be only a fakeout). Therefore, we will monitor these two indicators in the following days for any signs of a potential trend reversal.

SPX - Opening gap on MondayAfter successfully predicting the bounce following new lows and then warning about the subsequent drop, we are back to provide more thoughts on the market. In the big scheme of things, not much has changed. Merely the market confirmed our bearish bias, which we have continued to nourish throughout 2022.
Despite many calling it the spreading of fear and uncertainty, we can not ignore macroeconomic factors driving the market. Because of that, we continue to think that the bear market is not done. Quite the contrary, we believe the market conditions are set to dramatically worsen with the FED rising interest rates later next month.
In tandem with that assessment, we think the market is due to start slowly progressing from the second stage of the bear market into the third stage in 2023 (after weak earnings reinforce our notion of the 2nd stage of the bear market). Therefore, we believe that the market has not hit bottom yet. Accordingly, we stick to our price target of 3500 USD.
Illustration 1.01
Illustration 1.01 shows the hourly chart of ES1! continuous futures. An opening gap occurred on Monday, and the price retraced it later. Therefore, we will pay close attention to whether the price manages to hold above the gap; the inability of the price to do so will be bearish.

SPX - Fishing for the double bottom will turn out to be painfulAbout two weeks ago, we noted that the market was nearing 2022 lows, which led us to speculate about the short-term bounce. We reasoned that people would start predicting the double bottom formation and potential trend reversal. However, we stated that this bullish move-up would prove to be short-lived over time.
Since our post, SPX hit a new low and then bounced more than 6%. At the moment, the index trades near the 3 780 USD price tag, which coincides with the 20-day SMA. In our opinion, this retracement toward the SMA represents the correction of the downtrend, just like on previous occasions. If the price breaks above the SMA, then it can bolster the bullish case in the short term. However, a failure of the price to break above the level and hold there will suggest otherwise.
As for the medium and long term. We stay bearish and committed to our price target of 3500 USD. Our views are based on a combination of technical and fundamental factors described in this and previous articles.

S&P500: Should cross the 1D MA200 to avoid a new Low.Despite this week's rebound on Friday's 2,855 low (a level which was the 1W Support also made by the October 3rd 2019 low), S&P failed to break the 1D MA200 so far with the 1D chart remaining under pressure (RSI = 38.384, MACD = -75.790, ADX = 49.730). That is despite the fact that the Federal Reserve announced a rate cut yesterday, with the index pulling back within the 0.5 - 0.618 Fibonacci zone.
The current price action is similar so far to the late 2018 sell-off. The price failed to cross the 1D MA200 on three occasions and a Death Cross (MA50 crossing below the MA200) was formed that led to the December 2018 low.
It becomes obvious that SPX should break above the 1D MA200 in order to avoid a similar death spiral as investors will surely lose confidence that even traditional saving mechanisms like rate cuts are unable to provide relief on the stock market.

S&P: Sell opportunity towards the 1D MA50.SPX has been trading within a Channel Up on the 1W chart since the October 03 2019 low (RSI = 68.663, MACD = 94.760, ADX = 55.372, Highs/Lows = 80.7537). At the moment the price was rejected near the Higher High trend line and since the RSI on the 1D chart in on a bearish divergence we expect the pull back leg for a Higher Low.
The 1D MA50 last time supported the pull back so we will set our Target higher: within the 3,307 Feb 4th Gap and 3,320 (inner dashed Higher Low line).

S&P: Sell opportunity if the Channel Up breaks.SPX is trading within a 1D Channel Up (RSI = 64.687, MACD = 28.070, ADX = 51.456, Highs/Lows = 0.2723) since the October 3, 2019 bottom. There is however one bearish divergence signal that calls for a sell towards the 3,070 1D Support if the 1D Channel Up breaks to the downside. That signal is the RSI which is trading sideways (at best) on a pattern that resembles a lot the January - April 2019 Channel Up.
That pattern also had the RSI trading sideways despite the price making Higher Highs on the Channel Up and eventually failed to sustain it, broke downwards below the 1D MA50 (blue line) and found Support on the previous Higher Low.
If the same pattern is repeated then S&P should seek the 3,070 1D Support. We are waiting for such pull back for our next long term buy position.

S&P: Bearish reversal (2,950) with invalidation level.As per our last study, the +100 pip target has been reached:
The index has approached the Higher High zone of the 1W Channel Up (RSI = 64.884, MACD = 62.620, Highs/Lows = 78.1742) and the 1D RSI is close to the 71.30 level which since February 2019 has always caused a pull back.
When on the Higher High trend line of the 1W Channel Up in particular, the 71.00 1D RSI level starts a bearish sequence that drops all the way to the Higher Low trend line, with the 1D MA200 (orange) acting as the Support.
S&P is now on such a spot and if this pattern is repeated then we are looking at a Higher Low contact with the 1D MA200 at least at 2,950.
Attention is needed however. As per our last study (seen on the chart above), it is possible for SPX to start a new 12 month aggressive bullish sequence if 3,150 breaks (similar to what happened in 2016/2017). So be ready to exit this trade in time if you are a long term trader/ investor.

S&P: Targeting 3,100 if the ATH breaks.After hitting our previous Target,
the index is once again approaching the 3,030 1W Resistance and All Time High (ATH). 1D has just turned bullish on its RSI = 56.532 (MACD = 7.990, ADX = 32.823, Highs/Lows = 25.3073) but this is not the clue we are looking at for our next move.
What seems to be more relevant now is how S&P traded on a similar situation in the past. We looked back in 2016/ 2017 when the index last made a rebound on the 1D MA200, within a Channel Up and after a Golden Cross formation. Once the Resistance at the time broke, it strongly moved for a new Higher High within the Channel before aggressively breaking the pattern upwards.
Since we are currently just above the 1D MA50 and just under the 3,030 Resistance, if it breaks, we will target 3,100 - 3,150. A strong earnings season should work as the catalyst the index needs right now.

S&P: Near its long term Buy Zone. Be ready to long.The index is suffering the technical consequences of the 3,025 - 3,030 Double top earlier last month and is aggressively pulling back within its 1W Channel Up (RSI = 47.427, MACD = 35.000, ADX = 33.659) having crossed all 1D Support levels.
It is now approaching the Higher Low Zone (green) and the 1D MA200 which has always acted as a strong Support through out this bullish pattern. We are turning into buyers aiming at 3,000 - 3,025.
Attention is needed however and willingness to exit this trade if the 1W Support breaks. The reason is that will indicate that the Double Top was an official failure to extend the long term bullish trend and selling can escalate towards the 2019 Lows.

SPX: Medium term long to a Higher High.The index is trading within a 1W Channel Up (RSI = 57.360, MACD = 38.130, Highs/Lows = 5.5037) since late February. Since the May Higher High, the pattern has been respecting the Higher High/ Higher Low marks providing clear buy/ sell signals.
The price just broke above the 1D MA50 which has been the Resistance for a whole month (August) since the 2,780 Higher Low. With this strong break-out, the index should now technically test the 3,030 1W Resistance and then move on to a new Higher High within 3,065 - 3,085. We remain long on SPX.

SPX, S&P 500 - Rectangle PatternTVC:SPX
Extreme indecision in the American market, where we constantly see positive days alternating with negative ones, without understanding the sentiment of the market.
We are waiting for this rectangle to be broken to give us an idea.
At the same time we protect the nearest Trailing Stop positions with Stop Loss.
Putting the 'Poor' back in Standard & PoorThis is a nice case study in the usefulness of mating momentum indicators (if you could call averaging out candlesticks a la 'Heiken-Ashi' an indicator...).
'Heiken-Ashi' translates to 'average bar' in Japanese, and aside from being aesthetic as hell they're also a great way to cut out noise. Since the Heiken-Ashi candles are formed from an average of the open, high, low, and close of the prior candle they are able to reliably display the general "temperment" so to speak of the local price action. The formula is simple: Wicks up top with a clean bottom is bullish, vice versa for bearish, and anything with a wick on both ends shows indecision.
In combination with Bollinger Bands one can not only identify the markets mood, but also its volatility and relative mobility within the bands. Thicc BB means high volatility, and in addition to slim BB being the inverse; it often indicates a pending move (especially on lower timeframes). As well, the two 'channels' in the BB and their respective boundaries provide targets for entries as well as being indicative of the trend.
Using the SPX as an example two things readily appear: 1.) A bear trend has been established 2.) It's got a few hundred more points of 'room' to fall before its hits anything significant in the BB structure, which it historically bumps into bull or bear....but especially bear.
That's about it, technical analysis can be that simple.
The difficulty in trading is often the problem solving involved in risk management, not technical analysis.
That being said, none of this is advice of any sort; I don't even know how to read: Trade responsibly.
