US500 ~ 4H Intraday (Bearish Capitulation)CAPITALCOM:US500 intraday chart analysis:
4H chart = bearish H&S pattern development + neckline test validation.
Fib retracements:
Straight line/left labels = March 2020 (Covid) low - Jan 2022 high
Dotted line/right labels = Jan 2022 high - Oct 2022 low
1st target (yellow dashed):
~4100 lower parallel channel & May/June lower-range chop confluence
Temporary oversold/bounce target? TBC..
2nd target (white dotted):
~4000 psych level, H&S extrapolation, 38.2% Fib retrace & declining trend-line (Aug 2022 + Feb 2023 peaks/pivot points)
Bullish reversal target:
~4200 (23.6% Fib retrace)
S&P500: Megaphone buy opportunity.S&P500 is almost technically oversold on the 1D timeframe (RSI = 30.205, MACD = -54.210, ADX = 37.499) with the price reaching the 0.618 Fibonacci level from the March 13th Low. The last time the RSI was at 30.000 was on October 3rd, the previous LL of the Bearish Megaphone pattern. The two bullish sequences of this pattern have been around +4.60%. Since this is a double bottom signal, we expect a rise of equal proportion, targeting the 1D MA50 (TP = 4,315).

S&P500 on its 1week MA50. Expect +4600 Xmas rally if it holds.The S&P500 / US500 hit this week the 1week MA50 after 7 months.
This is a major Support level, considering that it also made contact with the Rising Support of the 2022 market bottom. Also the 1week RSI hit the 12 month Support.
As long as the 1week candles close over this, buy and target 4610 (annual High).
This may be achieved before the end of the year since every rally in the past 2 years, even during the 2022 correction, was very aggressive.
If the index closes a 1week candle under the MA50, we should technically see a test of the MA200. Fair estimate at 4000.

Critical 4 weeks for DAX Following weekly chart.
The last time when I get a short signal to in weekly chart was 4 weeks before COVID crash. (red area in the chart)
Now I got the same signal and unfortunately this is the most trustworthy signal for me.
I think this 4 weeks are really critical and what I expect is we might way to go to gaps below.
Be careful and be careful!
Panic is slowly setting in, VIX highest since late March 2023Yesterday, the Volatility S&P 500 Index hit its highest value since late March 2023 (when regional banks were imploding), reflecting a quickly deteriorating sentiment among market participants. Both SPX and ES1! constituted a new daily low, which continues to support a bearish case. This case is also supported by RSI and Stochastic reversing on the daily time frame and MACD flattening slightly below the midpoint (failing to break into the bullish area). As for the weekly time frame, all of the mentioned indicators develop bearish structures. In our view, more downside is very likely, with SPX testing its recent lows.

A Traders’ Weekly Playbook; Buying risk when its darkestA Traders’ Playbook; Buying risk when its darkest
Equities continue to find few friends and reviewing so many of the daily and weekly set-ups in our core equity indices, standing in front of the move and countering seems a low probability outcome at this juncture.
The China CN50 and AUS200 look particularly weak, while EU equity markets are in steep decline, with price breaking level after level. In the US, the NAS100 sits on a huge support zone seen between 14,560 and 14,430, with the US500 eyeing the 4 Oct swing low at 4200 – if these levels are broken this week and SPX 20-day realised volatility rises further, then market chatter will centre on the S&P500 pushing towards 4000.
The contrarians have started to look at sentiment and throw out a range of charts, including deteriorating market breadth and the number of stocks (in an index) below the 20-, 50- or 200-day moving average, that have an RSI below 30, or resides at 4-week lows. On current standings we’re not yet near a point of maximum bearishness. The CNN Fear and Greed can do a good job capturing the mood across markets and this says a similar message.
The time for contrarianism is approaching – and who doesn’t love a tradeable V-bottom – but it isn’t now.
Maybe corporate earnings can have a more positive effect and stabilise sentiment. With 47% of the S&P 500 market cap reporting this week, this is the week it could happen, and guidance and outlooks from CEOs can play a more important role. The macro matters though, and we continue to focus on geopolitical headlines, moves in the US 10- and 30-year Treasury, volatility, and energy markets. With bonds offering no defence in the portfolio, traders continue to manage drawdown risk through volatility, gold, and the CHF as the preeminent hedges.
The USD hasn’t performed as well as some had hoped through this period of equity drawdown and rise in long-end bond yields. One factor is that we’re seeing a rise in EU and Chinese growth momentum, so the rest of the world is looking less bad. We also regress and understand that the CHF acts more like gold in times of geopolitical tensions, and after a 7.8% rally between July and October (in the DXY), consolidation in the USD index was always a possibility.
Keep an eye on USDCNH and USDJPY as a guide, and the fact we see both pairs in a sideways consolidation is keeping broad G10 FX volatility subdued and a factor keeping the USD from moving freely on a broad FX basis.
As many try and pick a turn in equity markets, a bounce in risk this week can't be ruled out, and we need to be open-minded to all possibilities – its fighting an evolving momentum though and many will prefer to initiative (or add) shorts into any rallies, rather than fight it. Buying risk when it's darkest and sentiment is rock bottom is a well-adopted market philosophy but I’m not sure we’re there just yet.
Marquee data points for next week:
• EU manufacturing/services PMI (24 Oct 19:00) – the market consensus is we see the diffusion index print 43.6 (from 43.4 in September) and the services index at 48.6 (from 48.7)
• UK manufacturing/services PMI (24 Oct 19:30) -– the market consensus is we see the diffusion index print 44.6 (from 44.3 in September) and services at 49.3 (unchanged 49.3). A better services print could see a big reaction in GBP given how short the market has got.
• Australia Q3 CPI (25 Oct 11:30 AEDT) – the consensus sees headline CPI at 5.3% yoy (from 6%) / core CPI at 5.0% yoy (5.9%). The Aussie interest rates markets price a hike on 7 Nov at 34% - so, if we get a CPI print above 5.4%, we could see the market pricing a hike at the November RBA meeting at or above 50%. AUDNZD has been the best expression for AUD bulls but is coming into a supply zone around 1.0850.
• US S&P manufacturing/services PMI (25 Oct 00:45 AEDT) – a data point the market could completely ignore or could be the trigger for a sizeable reaction – the consensus is we see manufacturing at 49.9 (from 49.8) and services at 49.9 (50.1).
• BoC meeting Canada (26 Oct 01:00 AEDT) – the swaps market ascribes very little chance of a hike at this meeting, and only 6bp of hikes through to March 2024 – if the tone of the statement suggests a greater risk of hikes in the future, then the CAD should rally.
• ECB meeting (26 Oct 23:15 AEDT) – the ECB won’t hike at this meeting, so the focus falls on their guidance on the economic outlook and hurdle for hikes in the future. There will also be a focus on the bank’s plans to increase QT, and even look at the timeline on sales from APP and PEPP bond purchase program – if this is brought forward from Jan 2025 the market would see this EUR positive.
• US Core PCE inflation (27 Oct 23:30 AEDT) – US headline PCE inflation is eyed at 3.4% (from 3.5%) and core 3.7% (3.9%) – it would have to be a big number to put a hike at the Dec FOMC meeting on the table – a November hike is not up for debate and the market sees a hold as a full-gone conclusion.
• Chile central bank meeting (27 Oct 08:00 AEDT) – The market looks for a 50bp rate cut, but there are risks for 75bp – can USDCLP print new cycle highs?
Central bank speakers:
Fed speakers – Powell (26 Oct 07:35 AEDT – unlikely to offer any new market intel). Waller (27 Oct 00:00 AEDT) and Barr
BoE speakers – Cuncliffe (27 Oct 03:45)
RBA speakers – Gov Bullock (24 Oct 19:00 AEDT) & Bullock and Kent both appearing at the Senate testimony (26 Oct 09:00 AEDT)
Marquee US earnings and the implied move on the day of earnings (derived from options pricing) – on the week we see 43% of the S&P500 market cap reporting. Marquee names include - Alphabet (4.8%), Microsoft (4.1%), IBM (2.7%), Meta (8.6%), Amazon (6.4%), Intel (6.6%), Exxon (2.4%)
S&P500 broke for the second time the 200 EMAS&P500 broke for the second time the 200 EMA
This time it seem serious with a VIX index above 20 and moving higher, and the S&P500 index on the right top of a huge double top.
High yield bonds, war risks and recession risk add fuel to this move.
Target for the double top is the area 2630-2525 in the long term.
Bullish scenario only above 4600. Worth to be 100% cash and 0% stocks right now and stay at the windows.
S&P500: A rare buy opportunity within this MA zone.S&P500 is making contact today with the 1D MA200 for the second time in 2 weeks. The 1D technical outlook is naturally bearish (RSI = 38.503, MACD = -22.450, ADX = 29.479) since the 3 month pattern is a Bearish Megaphone and we are on the third selling sequence. It is not necessary to make a new direct hit on the LL trendline as the utmost technical support level in long term uptrends is the 1W MA50 and is where the second and last buy entry can be attempted. Our target is the 1D MA50 (TP = 4,360).

S&P500 The most important test for a long-term uptrend is now.The S&P500 had a strong rejection on the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and made a 3 day bearish streak that brought it today on the verge of testing the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) yet again. The last time it made a triple test between 4 days October 03 - 06) and managed to close all candles above it. As a result, if the S&P500 is to recover, it is critical to hold candle closings above or at least near the 1D MA200.
To get a better perspective of the important of the 1D MA200 during uptrends, it is useful to look at previous such corrections that didn't end up in deeper corrections (Bear phases) but instead extended the bullish trend with rebounds on the 1D MA200.
Such recent examples (besides the COVID recovery in 2020) are 2019 and 2018. In 2019 after two 1D candle closings under it (May 31, June 03 2019), the 1D MA200 held multiple times in July and September. Similarly in 2018, only two days (March 23 and April 02 2018) closed marginally below the 1D MA200 in multiple tests.
Bottom-line: the index MUST hold the 1D MA200 in order to overcome the 3 month correction since July and resume the long-term bullish trend it has since the start of the year.

Trader Thoughts – when realised vol rises that’s when we worrySentiment in markets continues to sour, with the market heading towards the safety of gold, the CHF and equity index volatility. We see the VIX index above 20%, showing a pickup in market players hedging equity drawdown, and paying up for downside puts in the S&P500.
The VIX index at 21.4% equates to implied daily moves in the US500 of 1.34%, and 3% over the week.
The market's key concern, and a critical mover of risk, remain concerns surrounding an escalation in the countries involved in the geopolitical tensions, with the US unable to contain the conflict. It is becoming one largely correlated trade – new headlines emerge, Brent crude, and to a lesser extent (currently) EU Nat gas rallies, and we subsequently see buyers in the CHF and gold. Equity vol also rises, and funds rotate into defensive areas of the market and offset risk through energy names.
It would be when we see S&P500 realised volatility moving higher that should see things move even more aggressively. This is where we see a lot of the hedge funds that target a specific level of volatility start to reduce equity holdings, while CTA’s (systematic trend following funds) would also reduce exposures. With reduced buyers in the market and higher vols, this is the time when short sellers will see their ideal conditions to deploy strategies.
As we see S&P500 10-day realised vol remains subdued, but any lift could have big implications.
The other aspect of the market cross-current is the ever-higher yields in 10- and 30-year US Treasuries. This has in part been driven by a rise in US real rates (bonds adjusted for expected inflation over that period). But also, ‘term premium’, or the additional compensation bond investors require to hold longer-dated debt rather than simply holding and rolling over 2-year Treasuries upon maturity. A resilient US economy is partly behind that, and so is the Fed’s current commitment to higher for longer.
The deteriorating US fiscal position is likely playing a role in higher long-end yields too and the notion of increasing supply from the US Treasury department, a factor even Jay Powell mentioned last night was “unsustainable”. As we head to the next US Treasury Quarterly Refunding date in November, the fact President Biden is requesting a $100b aid package for Israel and Ukraine to a leaderless House will only exacerbate concerns around Increasing bond supply and the potential demand from private investors.
While fixed-income investors see the conviction in trading Treasury curve steepeners, many others ask, “Will something in the system break”? Well, we look for the signal in the price action in credit, volatility, and bank equity. For now, what may be more prevalent, in the shorter term, would be a sharp rise in energy that moves concurrently with even higher long-end yields – that would be a toxic mix for risk.
As we close out the week, traders will be paying attention to the tape today as we roll into European and US trade – Will traders de-risk going into the weekend and put further safe-haven bets on, seeing the potential for another gapping risk in Monday's cash and futures open?
Country Garden is unable to meet the offshore debt payments The past few days were quite choppy for SPX. However, S&P 500 E-mini Futures have not broken above the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level. That allows us to maintain a bearish stance and keep the recently introduced setup valid. As a result, there is not much to write about today, except for one noteworthy thing that caught our attention overnight: one of the largest Chinese real estate developers, Country Garden, failed to meet offshore debt payments (already in the grace period), suggesting default proceedings might be next. We will update our thoughts on the asset with the emergence of new developments.

S&P500 Bullish Flag calls for a buy.The S&P500 got rejected twice near the MA50 (1d), causing a 7 day decline.
Since the October rise has been stronger so far than this decline, we can consider it as a Bullish Flag.
The price is approaching the MA200 (1d), where the October rally basically started.
Trading Plan:
1. Buy on the current market price.
Targets:
1. 4380 (MA50 1d).
Tips:
1. The RSI (1d) is on the exact symmetrical level as the September 7th Low. An additional bullish signal, at least for the short term.

S&P 500 - Time to Go Short 📉🔥Why am i speculating Against the Market at this moment:
Tomorrow's Inflation (CPI) is expected to soar, thanks to the recent Oil price surge. This is a red flag 🚩
Ongoing tensions in the Middle East are adding fuel to the fire, causing market jitters globally 🌍
While rate hikes may be on hold, there's no sign of rate cuts either. Not a good look 👀
Let's Talk Numbers 📊:
Resistance stands strong at 4420 🛑
First target is 4327 🎯
Second target is 4210 🎯
Honestly, I'm not too keen on trading much these days. The world's current state, filled with conflict and loss, is affecting my mood. 😔
Why is there so much hate in 2023? It's disheartening. 🙏
Sending out prayers for peace, wisdom, and a better tomorrow for humanity. 🕊️

S&P500 Channel Up trades depending on the 4hour MA50.The S&P500 / US500 is trading inside a larget Bearish Megaphone pattern, which is rising lately to price a Lower High on the Falling Resistance.
This creates the potential for two Channel Up patterns, a dotted one more aggressive and a dashed one less aggressive.
The determining factor is the 4hour MA50. So far it is holding and favors the more aggressive version. Buy and target 4450 (Falling Resistance).
If it breaks, buy for a second time near the bottom of the less aggressive Channel Up and target 4440 (Falling Resistance).
A triple straight Bullish Cross on the 4hour MACD is a strong indication of a bullish trend, that's why we use a double buy entry approach.

S&P500 Looks like a good opportunity to grab some liquidityHello trader! I'm interpreting this setup as follows: locally, the trend is upward. After a correction driven by recent news, the price has absorbed a significant portion of the liquidity from below, which was formed during the current week. There's room to move upward in pursuit of the next liquidity. I'm placing the stop loss below the order block.

BTC/SPX ratio Time to move capital from stocks to BITCOIN??A simple Bitcoin-to-S&P500 ratio gives the grand idea of what's about to happen in the markets in the following weeks.
The ratio is about to form a 1day MACD Bullish Cross, much like the one on January 20th 2020, on the exact same zone.
As today, it was the time the price was between the 0.5-0.236 Fibonacci range and as it approached the Halving, it want for the Falling Resistance test of the Bear Cycle.
Needless to mention that the parabolic rally followed.
This tells you that it may be time to start making adjustments to the risk part of the portfolio and gain more exposure to Bitcoin than stocks.
The return will be far greater. What do you think?
