S&P500 about to test the 1D MA50 for 1st time since AprilThe S&P500 index (SPX) has completed three straight green 1D candles and is approaching the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) for a test that would be its first since April 21. This idea is basically a continuation of out analysis posted two weeks ago, exactly at the bottom (Lower Low) of the Channel Down: With the markets anticipating favorable NFP numbers today, the index is well on its way to repeat the March rise to a new Channel Down Lower High. That sequence topped a little over the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level but if repeated, that would push the price above the Channel around 4320, which is also approximately where the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) is. Based on the 1D RSI pattern of the same sequence, we are exactly at the point before the 1D MA50 break-out. If you followed us on the bottom call, you may book the profit and re-engage either if the 1D MA50 breaks or upon a pull-back. In either case, the technical Lower High and target should not exceed 4100. The invalidation of this pattern will come only with a weekly closing below the 1W MA200 (red trend-line), in which case we may see a rapid sell-off towards the 1M MA100. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 1D MA50 ahead. Careful about this Double Bottom scenario.As with the other stock indices, we have certain type of patterns for S&P500 that help us identify medium/ long-term trends and take low risk/ high return positions on the market. In this case, it has been the Channel Down on the 1D time-frame since the January 04 All Time High that has given us both the previous Lower High and Lower Low: As you see last week's rise was accurately identified and even though we haven't reached the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) yet, you may start considering taking full or partial profits as during the last Lower Low rally, the initial rebound was fake and the price was rejected before the 1D MA50 and the 0.382 Fibonacci level back for a Double Bottom to confirm the buying accumulation. A similar scenario can therefore take the index back near 3640 and then rebound towards the Lower Highs (top) trend-line of the Channel Down. A viable strategy would be to take at least some profits now and then either buy on the pull-back or if a 1D candle closes above the 1D MA50 first. Planning a little ahead of this, a closing above the Lower Highs of the Channel Down sets target on the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), while a weekly one below the 1 MA200 (red trend-line) should target the 1W MA300 (yellow trend-line, scroll chart lower). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please like, subscribe and share your ideas and charts with the community! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 Bullish month ahead towards at least the 1D MA50The S&P500 index continues to trade within a long-term Channel Down, providing excellent trade opportunities on its Lower Highs and Lower Lows. Our previous analysis on this symbol was a sell warning as the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) was resisting: As it turned out, that was the most optimal sell of this phase and the index confirmed our trading plan by making a new Lower Low on the Channel. Being just shy off the -0.236 Fibonacci extension, we expect the index to reverse now and rebound on a 1 month horizon. This is further backed by the 1D RSI Double Bottom on the oversold barrier. That continues to mirror the Lower Lows sequence of late January - February 2022, which initiated a rebound towards the Lower Highs (top) trend-line of the Channel Down, above both the 1D MA50 and the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). That Lower High was priced on the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level from the previous Lower Low. That level is now around 4323, which is above the Channel Down, so a more modest target set would be first the 1D MA50, which at the time should be around 3950 and with a candle closing above it, an extension target near the top (Lower Highs) of the Channel, around 4100. The invalidation of this pattern will come only with a weekly closing below the 1W MA200 (red trend-line), in which case we may see a rapid sell-off towards the 1M MA100. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please like, subscribe and share your ideas and charts with the community! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 The 1W MA200 seems inevitable but there's also good newsIt has only been five months since I posted the following chart in January, calling for high yearly volatility ahead due to a U.S. elections pattern I discovered: ** The 2008 Recovery Channel ** Of course I didn't expect the S&P500 index (SPX) to reach its 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) that quickly, but still the chart was a right one. The index has made a new yearly low this week and this 1W chart displays the dynamics of the Channel Up the index has been trading in since it started recovering from the 2008 Bear Market. With the Fed Rate Decision today being pivotal to the stock markets' trend and a lot of market participants calling for a recession, it is useful to see what the long-term indicators are showing us. ** The 1W MA200 ** First of all as mentioned, it is very close to testing the 1W MA200, basically only 230 points (currently at 3502.96). Why all the talk about the 1W MA200? Because as you see on the chart, it has been the long-term Support of this 12 year Channel and has only broken significantly lower once on March 2020 during the COVID crash, which was a situation (economic lockdowns) completely new to the market. This is why I've included the -0.5 Fibonacci extension on the Channel because it shows that extreme, same as the 1.5 that shows the bullish extreme of the post COVID aggressive money printing to stimulate the economy. ** The 1W RSI and LMACD ** I believe the index will hit the 1W MA200 within a month's time and by then, the 1W RSI could be as low as during the COVID crash (March 16 2020). The 1W LMACD hasn't yet made a Bullish Cross but is very close to the COVID low. Every time the 1W MA200 is hit during these 12 years, an LMACD Bullish Cross has always confirmed the uptrend and recovery back to the prior Highs. ** We can recover by the end of the year ** So you may be wondering, what are the good news? Well, a very interesting stat is that on all those four occasions, it took S&P500 within 19 - 26 weeks from the moment it hit the 1W MA200 to reach its prior High. Assuming it hits the 1W MA200 by the end of July, we can recover the loss of this correction by the end of the year (or January 2023 tops). If the 1W MA200 fails to support the index and closes monthly candles below it, then it is more likely to see a strong crash to the 1M MA100 (red trend-line at 2826.50) as in the March 2020 COVID sell-off. Interestingly enough, the 1M MA100 is currently exactly on the -0.5 Fibonacci extension that supported the COVID crash. Where do you think S&P500 will find support next? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 The 1D MA50 is resisting. Scenarios ahead.The S&P500 index (SPX) rose rapidly and almost hit its 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), which is the current Resistance, since our last post: The long-term pattern remains a Channel Down since the All Time Highs (ATH), so the trend remains bearish towards the 3810 Support and quite possibly the -0.236 Fibonacci extension as a Lower Low. The fact that the price is struggling to break the 1D MA50, further strengthens this notion. Even a break above the 1D MA50, won't be enough to turn the price bullish long-term, only on the short-term towards the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, which was the Resistance level during the January 24 rebound. See how the 1D RSI is currently on similar levels. A break-out buy signal wouldn't be if the price closes above the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), with a short-term target the 4640 Resistance (and March 29 High). Above the level, we can claim that the index has restored the long-term bullish trend. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please like, subscribe and share your ideas and charts with the community! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INFLATION testing a 100 year old trend-line. How will S&P react?This is an interesting analysis as the U.S. Inflation Rate (orange trend-line) is testing for the first time since early 1980 a Lower Highs trend-line that started after the High of July 1920, exactly 100 years ago! This Lower Highs trend-line has made another 2 contacts after that and it is interesting to see how the S&P500 index (blue trend-line, SPX) has behaved upon such tests (and rejections). As you see, every time the Inflation Rate hit that Lower Highs trend-line (Resistance), the S&P500 index went through a roughly 1.5 - 2 year period of correction. This was a high volatility phase, with the S&P500 correction on two out of the three occasions starting before the Inflation Rate hit the Lower Highs zone. Note that even though it was a correction, it was never in the magnitude of a Bear Cycle such as 2000/02, 2008/09 or even worse the 1929/32 Great Depression. As a result, and since the correction has already started at the start of the year (2022), before the Inflation Rate reached the historic Lower Highs trend-line, we can say that it resembles more the cases of July 1920 and May 1947. Those bottomed on July 1921 and June 1949, so 1 and 2 years respectively after the Lower Highs rejection. Can this mean that we still have another 1 - 2 years of volatility ahead of us before bottoming? What's your view on this analysis? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 Bear Cycle or just correction? Key indicators to considerThe S&P500 index (SPX) broke back above the 1W MA100 (green trend-line), which it lost as a Support early in May. This is a trend-line that has broken in all of major corrections (4 in total) since the 2008/09 Bear Cycle of the Subprime mortgage crisis. So is this simply such a correction or the start of a new Bear Cycle? Let's see a few markers that played an important role in the past. ** The 1W RSI Lower Highs trend-line ** First and foremost, since the May 16 2022 1W candle (this analysis is on the 1W (weekly) time-frame), the RSI has been rising towards the Lower Highs (LH) trend-line formed from the recent High (All Time High to be exact). In all previous corrections, once the price broke above this LH trend-line, then the trend resumed the bullish course. Note that the RSI rebound is coming after an exact hit on the 30.00 RSI level, which is the bottom of its multi-year Support Zone. This Support Zone has broken only twice in the past 14 years: near the end of the 2008/09 Bear Cycle and on March 2020 during the panic sale amidst the COVID outbreak. Also, regarding the LH trend-line, we have to mention that it marginally broke in late October 2015 but still the index made a new Low. So we have to give this line some room even if it breaks soon. ** The role of the 1W MA200 and 1D MA100 and the key Buy Signal ** Every correction hit the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) after breaking the 1W MA100. Currently that is around 3495. There are two cases in which this can be avoided. First, as mentioned above, if the 1W RSI breaks above its LH trend-line. And second, if the 1D MA100 (red trend-line) approaches or even better hit the 1W MA100 prior. Those two are very close now. Once they converge, that is historically the strongest long-term buy signal in recent years. ** The 0.618 Fibonacci as the difference between a correction and a Bear Cycle ** A critical marker as well, is the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level. This may as well be called 'the difference between a Bull correction and a Bear Cycle'. As you see, the 0.618 Fib level from the bottom has always broken on every correction but failed to break the one time which later turned out to be the subprime Bear Market. Assuming May's low is the bottom, the 0.618 Fib is currently around 4435. That means that if it breaks, we can call the value loss since the start of the year, a correction and not the start of a Bear Cycle. ** Conclusion ** Well there is not much to be said in an analysis like this, the chart is pretty much self-explanatory. Perhaps what you can keep as a long-term investor/ trader is that you can either buy again with a relative degree of safety either above the 0.618 Fib (4435) or when the 1W RSI breaks its Lower Highs and the 1D MA100 comes close (or touches) the 1W MA100. As you see such patterns turn to pay big with the lowest possible risk and are rarely presented opportunities. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please like, subscribe and share your ideas and charts with the community! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500: No LazybonesDespite the holiday in the United States, S&P500 has not been lazing around but has climbed into the middle white zone between 4156 and 4224 points. There, the index should finish wave (3) in white and subsequently start a countermovement into the lower white zone between 4076 and 3999 points. After it has completed wave (4) in white in this region, S&P500 should turn around and head for the upper white zone between 4332 and 4400 points to finish wave (5) in white. However, there is a 38% chance that the index could break through the bottom of the lower white zone, fall below the support at 3855 points and drop into the magenta zone between 3788 and 3683 points.

SPX - Bear market rally on a horizont? After making a new low on 20th May 2022, SPX erased some of its losses and bounced back into the proximity of 4000 USD. Currently, it trades around the 3960 USD price tag. We continue to be bearish on SPX; however, after more than a month and a half of the selling in major U.S. indices, we are on the lookout for a possible bear market rally. Therefore, we will pay close attention to the sloped resistance indicated by the yellow dashed line. If SPX manages to break above it, then it might mark the start of the two-to-three-week bear market rally. Technical analysis - daily time frame MACD performed a bullish crossover; however, it still remains in the bearish territory. RSI and Stochastic point to the upside, which is bullish. DM+ and DM- show bearish conditions in the market. The ADX contains a relatively high value, suggesting peaking conditions or a very strong trend. Overall, the daily time frame is neutral/slightly bullish. Illustration 1.01 The picture above shows SPX's return to the channel. Technical analysis - weekly time frame RSI, MACD, and Stochastic are all bearish. DM+ and DM- are also bearish. The ADX increases. Overall, the weekly time frame is bearish. Please feel free to express your ideas and thoughts in the comment section. DISCLAIMER: This analysis is not intended to encourage any buying or selling of any particular securities.

S&P500 against Bonds during Rate Hikes.This chart displays the ratio of S&P500 against the 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF on the 1W time-frame. The green trend-line represents the Federal Funds Rate. The RSI on the pane below the chart, is illustrated on the 1M time-frame and based on the Channel Down it has been since May 2021, it resembles more the price action of late 2003/2004. Interestingly enough, it was in mid 2004 that the Fed Rate has started to rise following the stock market recovery from the DotCom crash. The Fibonacci Channel with the 0.236, 0.382, 05, 0.618, 0.786 retracement levels is applied on this ratio and since the stock market recovery from the 2007/08 Subprime Mortgage crisis, the Fib 0.618 band was the Resistance. Now it appears that we have moved a level higher on the 0.786 Fib. This model shows that there is no major crash ahead of us and most likely we will trade within those bands for a few years more before a bigger correction/ recession on the stock market. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please like, subscribe and share your ideas and charts with the community! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 made a Channel Down bottom. Rebound or break lower?The S&P500 index (SPX) made today a core technical Lower Low (bottom) on the Channel Down pattern that has been trading in since the January 04 All Time High (ATH). Last time the price hit that Lower Lows trend-line, it held and after 3 weeks of high volatility, it posted an aggressive rebound towards the Lower Highs (top) trend-line of the pattern, just below hte 0.786 Fibonacci retracement. As long as the Lower Lows trend-line holds, it is more likely for S&P500 to rebound within a 1 month horizon, towards the Lower Highs trend-line around the 0.786 Fib, which is at 4480. The 1D RSI Channel of Higher Lows and Higher High (i.e. bullish divergence against the bearish price action), remains also intact, in fact yesterday bounced off the Higher Lows trend-line. Keep your stops tight though if you are on a tight margin as a 1D candle close below the Channel Down, could be technically interpreted as a bearish extension signal. Typically such big stock market corrections seek their 1W MMA200 (red trend-line) before they make a Bear Cycle bottom and start the new Bull Cycle. That would almost be a -28% correction from the All Time High. As for the long-term bullish trend, in order for that to be restored, the index would have to break above the 4635 Resistance, which is the previous Lower High. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 Sell in May and go away? Is it actually true or a myth?You've heard this expression before: "Sell in May and go away". It is an old Wall Street saying that basically prompts stock investors to sell in May as the market prepares to enter the Summer period that is supposedly characterized of thin volume as fund managers lighten their stock portfolios and reduce their activity due to vacation leaves etc. But how accurate is this really? Is it reality or a myth? This is the S&P500 (SPX) chart on the 1M (monthly) time-frame where I look into the month of May price action (as well as before and after) since the subprime mortgage crisis of 2007/08. As you see, out of this sample of 13 events (May months), we've have 8 cases where May was bullish and extended or started a rise, 3 cases where the price action was bearish on or after May for at least one month and 2 cases where May was bearish but a big rally started after. This alone shows that "sell in May and go away" isn't that accurate. A more interesting aspect is perhaps the fact that in all cases where a big dip preceded May's price action, the actual month of May was Bullish (May 2009, May 2018, May 2020). I mention that because it is directly related to today, as we are all aware of that the price action since the start of the year (January 2022) has been a strong correction due to the raging inflation and the Ukraine - Russia war among other reasons. This indicates that then the market had already correction and is oversold, investors tend to buy in this opportunity in May. Since S&P500 has already corrected more than -17%, will May 2022 close in green despite the current disappointing opening? Let me know in the comments section below. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 targeting 4400 on this wave. Conditions for long-term.The S&P500 index (SPX) turned the price action since the start of 2022 into a Channel Down pattern. Monday's low came very close to the 1W MA100 (red trend-line), which is a level intact since May 18 2020. A weekly (1W) candle close below it, will most likely kick-start a new round of aggressive selling. As long as it holds though, it is more likely to see the index rebound to at least the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, which is now a little over 4400. That would be within the Lower Highs zone of the Channel Down. That's the medium-term projection at least. On the long-term though, based on a distant fractal of similar price action from June 2015 to January 2016, we can only expect an extended rise, if the 4640 High (currently the Resistance) breaks. That is at least what happened in June 07 2016, where after an initial pull-back, the long-term bullish trend was resumed. Notice also the similarities on the 1D RSI sequences. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 Huge Inverse Head & Shoulders completed.The S&P500 index is having a very aggressive sell-off following Jerome Powell's remarks on a 50 basis point hike in May. As you see on the chart, the rejection took place on the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), broke below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and is about to test today the 1D MA400 (green trend-line). Why the 1D MA400 is so important? Because during the February - March 'war' correction, it provided support twice (on Feb 24 and March 15). Besides the 1D MA400, the price just hit the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement level (4220 roughly). Fibonacci retracement levels during this 2022 correction have been instrumental in forming Support and Resistance levels. As shown on the chart, the 0.786 Fib has rejected the price 2 times (including Powell's rejection on the 1D MA200), the 0.5 Fib has supported 2 times while the 0.236 once. Additionally, the 1D CCI is approaching the first buy level. But perhaps the most important development of all is the formation of an Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern (IH&S) where today's low is the Right Shoulder and is exactly symmetrical as the Left Shoulder. IH&S patterns are technically bullish reversal structures and typically form the bottom of downtrends. The trading levels during the current days may be the last chance and a unique opportunity to buy before a strong Q3/Q4 rally to new All Time Highs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please like, subscribe and share your ideas and charts with the community! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 on a strong 1D RSI reboundThe S&P500 index is on a strong green candle today on the 1D time-frame, following a bounce yesterday on the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level. As the pull-back since the March 29 High completed a 50% retrace, and the price stayed around the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), there are strong probabilities to see this green candle evolve into a strong rebound past the 4637 Resistance (1). The reason is the RSI, which is also rebounding just above its Higher Lows trend-line running from January 25. As you see this was (almost) the 4th perfect contact on the trend-line. The short-term Resistance is the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), with the medium-term target being 4750 (Resistance 2). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please like, subscribe and share your ideas and charts with the community! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 Low target achieved. Time to rise now.On last week's analysis on S&P500, we called for a pull-back targeting 4400: The target has now been hit and as the price hit both the 1D MA50 (red trend-line) and the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line), the conditions started to be fulfilled for a rise again. The fractal that helped me identify the incoming correction to 4400 was the one in November 2021, which also pulled-back after a Head and Shoulders formed the top. The only parameter that has been left unrealized is contact with the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level. However we can argue that 4390 is as close to 4372 it can get. The RSI patterns of the two fractals continue to be identical. Once the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line), which on December 06 2021 was the confirmation for the rise, breaks, we expect a test of the 4750 Resistance (1). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please like, subscribe and share your ideas and charts with the community! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 can rise temporarily but 4400 likely mid-term.S&P500 print a Head & Shoulders pattern last week and naturally dropped below the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) for the first time in two weeks (since March 15). The pull-back is now neutralized and we see today a bullish reaction. This rise can be temporary and even though a test of the recent High is possible, it is more likely to see in the medium-term a test of the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) and even lower. The guide for this is the fact that both price wise and based on the RSI on the 4H time-frame, the rise since the March 15 low is quite similar to that of October 01 - November 10 2021. As you see on the chart, the index formed a similar Head and Shoulders pattern that initially dropped below the 4H MA50 and even though it made one last mini-rally to the Head of the formation, it eventually pulled much lower, below the 4H MA200 and 1D MA50 (red trend-line). Currently this rough pull-back projection is around 4400. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 time for this rally to consolidateThose of you following my channel here for long, know that I am a long-term stock investor and wait for the right time to buy the index at a low price. Last month even called here the bottom of the 'Ukraine-Russia war' correction based on the DotCom Bubble fractal, which is so far playing-out very well: However, I do not hesitate to call for rally pauses or pull-backs when I see one. And currently, based on the COVID correction price action, S&P500 may enter a 2-3 week consolidation phase, as the mid-March rally loses momentum and exhausts. Keep in mind that it was the COVID fractal and its 1D Death Cross, that helped us time the bottom. See how on both sequences, the 1D Death Cross was formed right after the market bottom. Now that the price broke above the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, we should keep an eye on where the 1D candles closes. A closing above the 4595 Resistance of the February Highs, could invalidate the similarities with 2020 and sustain the rally all they way to the 4820 All Time Highs (ATH), but in any other occasion, a pull-back and multi-week consolidation is more likely. As long as the 1D MA50 supports, dips should again be bought. This is invalidated if the price breaks again below the former Lower Highs trend-line. Note how the RSI sequences of the two fractals are virtually identical. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 Golden Cross on 4H and potential pull-back.The S&P500 index turned bullish last week as it broke above three critical Resistance levels: the former Lower Highs trend-line of 2022, the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) and the 1D MA50 (red trend-line). The natural target zone is the range consisting of the February Resistance (4595) and the 0.618 Fibonacci Retracement level (4547). Perhaps the most important technical development of this week, is the formation of the Golden Cross (when the MA50 crosses above the MA200) on the 4H time-frame, which we will see the first time since December 27 2021. However, as the 4H RSI turned lower on Lower Lows and Lower Highs, much like the March 03 sequence, it is more likely to see a pull-back first, towards the 4H MA50 and 0.382 Fib initially at 4379 and then the 0.236 Fib at 4275. Being a potential Channel Up, that should be the new buy entry. Any level below the Higher Lows trend-line, risks turning the long-term sentiment back to bearish. Of course this pull-back case will be invalidated if the index breaks above the 4595 February Resistance first, in which case the 4820 All Time High (ATH) will be targeted. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S&P500 Critical do-or-die test of the 4H MA200-1DMA50 ResistanceThe S&P500 index just made an important move today, by closing (even marginally) a 4H candle above the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line), for the first time since January 13 (practically the start of the correction). So far it appears that it is following the fractal pattern I suggested at the start of the month with high precision: As you see, the only barriers left based on this comparison are the Lower Highs trend-line since the All Time High (ATH) and the 1D MA50 (which on today's analysis is illustrated in red). Technically we can say that the ultimate Resistance Zone is the area within the 4H MA200 and the 1D MA50. A candle close above it, should push the index towards the 0.618 Fibonacci (4545) and the February Resistance (4595), which had two rejections on February 02 and 09. Similarly a break above that zone should set in motion a full recovery towards the ATH. On the other hand, if the price gets rejected within the 4H MA200 - 1D MA50 Resistance Zone, it should pull-back initially to the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line). A break/ close below that trend-line targets the 4140 - 4107 Support Zone made of the two recent lows. The scenario of a break even below those lows, has SPX going for the Lower Lows trend-line and then (after possibly a re-test of the 4H MA50 as Resistance) the -0.236 Fibonacci extension. But I will make an update in such case. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please support this idea with your likes and comments, it is the best way to keep it relevant and support me. ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
