SP500 - the best time to LONGIn this analysis, I used several leading indicators - commitment of traders index (CFTS), insiders (Form 4 SEC ) and the greed and fear index (CNN Business).
In commitment of traders index I period 19 - it's a middle of 13 (quarter) and 26 (half year). In practice, it is this period that provides the best results (not only on sp500, but also on other instruments). Historically, the chart shows how well this leading indicator performs.
At the moment, we have not yet seen a direct signal to buy, but the fact is that we receive a signal with a slight delay (a week), and it is quite possible that we are actually already in the buy zone. And it is quite possible that we will still go to the previous volume zone (around 3600).
Next indicator is Insiders data. The chart clearly shows that each increased number of insider buying (more than 150) leads to a subsequent increase of the market. Now the indicator reached 180, so we expect the sp500 index to start growing.
Greed and Fear Index is one of the best leading data. And he also shows just perfect results on history! Current values from 7 to 15 are an indicator of extreme fear, and values below 10 start all the longest trends.
I do not set the levels where the sp500 index will reach, as they will be dictated by the market, and leading indicators will show a reversal. And only there I will close long positions in order to get the maximum profit from the growing trend.
P.S. On the chart, for reasons unknown to me, the arrows for insiders and the fear index moved a little - I hope this will not interfere with understanding the idea.
S&P 500: Bulls & Bears Have 1 Level In Mind To Start The WeekLet me just put it out there, 4654. If we hold there, we have a solid chance of heading towards 4705. Below and it's 4550.
That's how I see it. How I or you play it (i.e. short or long) will be dependent upon market conditions. There are no absolutes, but if you know the levels where prices can react, you are that much further ahead of the game.

UPRO - Bigger View - Down to Fib .236 / $55On shorter timelines there is upside, I hope. Backing out until I could see a clear pattern, on the daily timeline looks like we're on the start of leg C down after a nice 5 Wave up
A .236 retracement would have us bounce around $55.43
Sadly, I did my long term homework after the fact and missed the peak. Expecting to get SL'ed out and lose on a long UPRO position.
Pundits all shouting Bull, and I bit post election, but that's not what the trends show me. The numbers say S&P500 down for a bit (About 6% SPX/18% UPRO).
*NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE - NOT A FINANCIAL ADVISOR*
Long UPRO on the weekly. Stop loss under $45The SPX had tons of momentum before Corona Virus took ahold, which will have an effect on earnings for a few quarters. Look for the market to fully price in these concerns shortly and the rise should continue, especially quickly for this leveraged fund. Target $90
SPX: 2800 still holdingUntil SPX cash closes below 2800, trend is still up. I see both bull and bear cases possible. I'm still leaning bullish as everyone is calling for a bear market or lower low just like Dec bottom, everyone was calling for a retest but we went on to make new aths. CB's will keep easing like or not, and companies are buying back their stocks aggressively. Again, at this point it could go either ways, so if you're a swing trader, it's best to wait and see what happens this coming week. Close above 2960 should eliminate the bear case imho, close below 2800 and we go much lower
