S&P500 daily- Caught up in a Rising Wedge with a overbought RSI60% of Rising Wedges end with a downward breakout. However, downward breakouts are some of the worst performing chart patterns, with an unacceptably high failure rate, small post breakout declines, and pullbacks occurring 72% of the times.

S&P500 daily- Ascending Broadening Wedge. S&P500 daily- Ascending Broadening Wedge- ABW (with three contact points on either side of the ABW).
ABW tend to not appear during bear markets, most often seen in bull markets with downward breakouts. Breakout is 52% of the times downwards.
Also, two other critcal points-
1) The Fib retracement 61.8% seems to soon be either support of resistance.
2) 3000 on the SP500 is the 200-day moving average. 'A flat 200-day Moving average is King' Oliver Velez. The 200-day SMA is now flat. Being above consistently is bullish.
Soon, we will all know, whether this a durable bull breakout or a flop.
S&P500 daily chart- Interesting times.SP500 daily chart- Inside the eclipse, price is range bounding inside a broadening wedge, testing the 61.8% Fib Retracement level, and just under the all important flat 200-day Moving Average.
SP500 must over come all these obstacles to demonstrate a clear path to recovery.
SPY has 3 support levels to watch...The December 2018 lows were a test of the bull market. Those will likely break, because we are no longer in a bull market. We are in a bear market.
The 2015-16 consolidation is a likely point for the stock market to regain some stability or if panic occurs, then a lower level will come quickly.
The double tops of 2000 and 2007 are becoming more likely as the stock market decline has become less orderly this week.
VOO - Pivot pointFor now at least, we have found a pivot point for this SP500 ETF, at the 50% fib retrace level. Huge volume and a quick turnaround in price, we shall see how this one turns out. Compare Volume to late 2018, our targets for a bounce from this level are at 88% Fib extension level of $290, all time high of $312 (100%), and perhaps $372 at the 161.8% extension level.
This can still drop, there is a lot of news creating a small panic, and if so we may get to see the dead cat bounce. For me, volume is key.
S&P500- attempting to Fib Retrace to 3060?Still a strong overall drowntrend regardless. SP500 is down over 11% at its peak in just over 7 trading days, and with all corrections (assuming it's that), takes an average of 4 months to hit bottom. If it is a bear market, than the average time to hitting bottom would be over well over 4 months.
