SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 1-23-25 : Carryover PatternToday's Carryover pattern suggests the markets will attempt to hold near recent support while attempting to determine trend. I view it as move of an indecisive day - looking to see if the markets can break to new all-time highs or if the markets have reached the top I've been discussing. In my opinion, today will be a pause/consolidation day in the SPY/QQQ - leading to the big CRUSH pattern tomorrow. Gold and Silver are under quite a bit of pressure this morning. The metals pattern is a BOTTOM pattern. So, I expect this selling in metals to be reflective of issues that will drive the SPY/QQQ downward tomorrow (the CRUSH pattern) and likely result in a moderate downward trend in the SPY/QQQ over the next 2 weeks. Metals will recover and try to move higher as metals continues to hedge against global risks. BTCUSD is moving downward - trying to break below the Flag Support level of the EPP pattern. I believe tomorrow will be a pivotal day for the markets and today will be a fairly consolidated day overall.

SPY at a Crossroads: Key Levels and Options Strat for Max ProfitAnalysis and Trade Plan for SPY Based on the 1-Hour Chart SPY is trading within a well-defined ascending channel, reflecting bullish momentum. However, key resistance at 607.82—backed by strong Gamma Exposure (GEX)—poses a critical decision point for traders. Here's a detailed breakdown of potential moves and strategies: Key Levels to Watch: 1. Resistance: * 607.82: Current high and GEX resistance. * 610-612: Psychological level and channel extension. 2. Support: * 605: Minor support within the trend. * 599.56: Major support zone highlighted by GEX and channel lower boundary. Momentum Indicators: * MACD: Bearish crossover, signaling potential short-term weakness. * Stochastic RSI: Overbought and turning downward, suggesting a possible pullback. * Volume: Moderate, with no strong conviction near resistance. Trade Plan for 1-Hour Chart Bullish Setup (Breakout Above 607.82): * Entry: Above 607.82, confirmed by strong volume. * Target: 610 and 612 (upper channel resistance). * Stop-Loss: Below 605. Bearish Setup (Breakdown Below 605): * Entry: Below 605, confirmed by increasing bearish volume. * Target: 599.56 and potentially 595 (lower support). * Stop-Loss: Above 606. Options Strategies Based on GEX (5-7 DTE) The GEX levels provide critical insights into market dynamics, with 607 acting as a strong resistance zone and 600 as a key support. Utilizing options expiring in 5-7 days (Jan 30, 2025), we can position trades for both bullish and bearish scenarios while minimizing the impact of time decay. Bullish Option Strategy: * Buy Call: * Strike: 607 (ATM) or 605 (slightly ITM). * Expiry: Jan 30, 2025. * Entry: On a confirmed breakout above 607.82. * Target: Resistance at 610-612. * Stop-Loss: If SPY falls below 605. Bearish Option Strategy: * Buy Put: * Strike: 600 or 599 (slightly OTM). * Expiry: Jan 30, 2025. * Entry: On a confirmed breakdown below 605. * Target: Support at 599.56 and potentially 595. * Stop-Loss: If SPY climbs back above 606. Why 5-7 DTE Options? * Lower Theta Decay: Allows trades to develop over a few days without rapid value loss. * Controlled Risk: More time to adjust positions or exit with minimal losses. * Flexibility: Captures both intraday moves and multi-day trends. Trading Tip: Stay Flexible While the 1-hour chart shows bullish momentum, the negative skew (-17.9%) and GEX resistance at 607 suggest caution. Monitor price action closely at key levels, and don’t hesitate to switch bias if the market conditions change. Conclusion:
SPY’s price action and GEX levels highlight critical opportunities for breakout or pullback trades. Use a combination of chart-based entries and 5-7 DTE options to maximize profit potential while minimizing risk.

Now what ?? the drop in my view was wave 4 of the Supercycle peak . since then cycles turned up and the 5th wave started . based on the 80 day cycle due mid dec . so why am I calling this a Failed 5th wave reason is the last low was one of the longest days down in US history and breaking the long term trendline support The High Hit the trendline at the peak going back to the sept 2nd 1929 high . The fact that the sp 500 is now the only index to print a new record high is a warning . I started to move into puts on friday jan 17th and moved to a 110 % long puts today at 6100 in the spx cash and 533 in the QQQ , The market can still trace out a small 4 nad 5 and 4.5 and the DJI could still print a minor new High but today and this week are a grouping of 6 spirals Golden ratio . the DJI has only rallied to almost .786 the drop 44370 target I started buying puts at 43800. 2025 is a very bearish cycle see my forecast DEC 8th 2024 .

"The Wall" QQQ Short Setup on Weekly Chart - Bye bye profitsThere is an old saying when you look at macro-economics - 'When people stop buying chips, take your bets off the table". You can always know when the house is about to win. It's when the numbers of people at the chips window is starting to teeter. When the house sees that, they push the buzzer int he pocket of all the dealers - "take the chips back from the public, we are not seeing enough withdrawals to constitude offering any more winnings". So, the dealers take as many chips of your out, to give it back to the bank. When this thing pivots, whose side are you going to be on? I hear the hopium is really good over by the backarack table. Maybe we should try some on leverage before the dealer gets buzzed. Oh wait, what's that sound? It's the sound of 10 years of consolidation and net 0 returns on Total Stock market. Ready to till the earth for food? I'm not, and that's why I'm long treasuries. +5% is better than -30%.

SPY .. S&P 500 interesting Averages Head n ShouldersWhile the green isn't a head n Shoulder it gives you the best visual... the math is on the left for averages to the green...and the Red is the inverse image of the 2015 to today when figuring in a little room for "uncertainties" But either way...They both give an interesting take on things. Which do you think is achievable...especially when insurance is about to collapse with fires, policy cancellations...and derivatives backed swaps being called on if any of the big 7 start a hard down?? anywho..doodles are doodles...

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 1-22-25: BreakAway PatternToday's BreakAway pattern suggests the markets will attempt to move aggressively away from yesterday's closing price level. I do believe the markets are over-extended to the upside. Which is why I continue to warn traders that we may be nearing a top/peak price level and to prepare for a rollover type of top in the SPY/QQQ. My broad cycle patterns suggested the markets would top near Jan 20-21. I believe we are seeing a type of carryover momentum move to the upside as a result of optimism related to the Inauguration. Now that the Inauguration is complete, I believe the markets will start to "resettle" into reality. The SPY/QQQ should move into a rolling type of top pattern over the next 3-5+ days, then trend downward into my Feb 9-11 DEEP-V Base/Bottom. Gold and Silver are likely to move higher in an attempt to hedge against global risks and uncertainty. BTCUSD is moving through the current EPP pattern as the flagging breaks down. This should prompt a move back to the 92k level, then a brief pause before trending further downward. Remember, the markets are likely to stall out through H1:2025. Get ready for volatile price swings before we move back into trending near the end of 2025.

Trading CFDs on Stocks vs ETFs: Differences and AdvantagesTrading CFDs on Stocks vs ETFs: Differences and Advantages Many traders wonder whether it’s worth trading ETFs vs stocks. The truth is that they both offer distinct advantages depending on your strategy. Whether you're drawn to the diversification of ETFs or the high volatility of individual stocks, understanding their differences is key. This article breaks down the difference between stocks and ETFs and the advantages of each. What Are ETFs vs Stocks? Although you are well aware of what stocks and ETFs are, let us give a quick overview. ETFs, or exchange-traded funds, are collections of assets like stocks, bonds, or commodities bundled into a single security. Instead of buying individual assets, traders gain exposure to an entire market segment or strategy by trading ETFs. For example, SPY tracks the S&P 500, providing access to 500 major companies in one trade. ETFs are traded on exchanges like stocks, with prices fluctuating throughout the day based on supply and demand. Stocks, by contrast, signify direct ownership in a particular company. When trading stocks, you’re focusing on the performance of that single entity, whether it’s a household name like Tesla (TSLA) or an emerging small-cap company. In comparing stocks vs an ETF, stocks are often more volatile than ETFs, creating opportunities for traders to capture sharp price movements. In this article, we will talk about CFDs on ETFs and stocks. Contracts for Difference (CFDs) allow traders to speculate on the rising and falling prices of an asset without owning it. To explore a world of stocks and ETFs, head over to FXOpen. Key Differences Between ETFs and Stocks Understanding the distinctions between an ETF vs stocks is essential for traders aiming to refine their strategies. While both are popular instruments, they behave differently in the market and suit different trading approaches. Let’s break it down. 1. Composition The primary difference between an ETF and a stock is its makeup. ETFs are baskets of assets like stocks, bonds, or commodities, offering built-in diversification. For example, the Invesco QQQ ETF holds top Nasdaq-listed companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla. Stocks, however, represent a single company. Trading a stock like Amazon (AMZN) means your potential returns depend solely on its performance, while ETFs spread risk across multiple assets. 2. Volatility Stocks are generally more volatile. A single earnings miss or CEO resignation can send a stock’s price soaring or crashing. ETFs, because they pool multiple assets, experience smaller swings. For instance, SPY’s price tends to move more steadily than a volatile stock like Tesla, making ETFs potentially easier to analyse for certain trading strategies. 3. Liquidity and Trading Volume Liquidity varies significantly. ETFs tracking major indices like SPY are considered liquid instruments, with high trading volumes. Stocks can be just as liquid, especially large-cap companies, but smaller or niche ETFs and stocks may suffer from lower liquidity and wider spreads or gaps in pricing. 4. Costs Investing in stocks typically involves just the price of the shares and brokerage fees. ETFs often have expense ratios—annual fees taken from the fund’s value. While these are usually small (e.g., 0.09% for SPY), they’re an added cost traders need to consider. However, with ETF CFDs, these fees are bypassed, leaving traders with only the broker’s spread and commission to consider. Stock CFDs work similarly, eliminating transaction costs tied to owning the underlying asset. Advantages of Trading ETFs Trading ETFs offers unique opportunities that appeal to a range of strategies. Their structure, diversity, and flexibility make them a valuable choice for traders. Here’s what sets them apart: 1. Diversification in a Single Trade Trading ETFs gives exposure to a group of assets, reducing the risk of being impacted by a single asset's performance. For instance, SPY tracks the S&P 500, spreading risk across 500 companies. This makes ETFs a great way to trade entire sectors or indices without committing to individual assets. 2. Sector or Thematic Focus ETFs allow traders to target industries, regions, or themes with precision. Whether it's technology through XLK, emerging markets via EEM, or even volatility with UVXY, ETFs open the door to strategies that align with traders’ interests and market views. 3. Lower Volatility Because ETFs pool assets, they experience less extreme price movements than individual stocks. This steadier behaviour can make them suitable for traders looking to avoid the sharp volatility of single stocks while still taking advantage of price action. 4. Liquidity in Major Funds Popular ETFs like QQQ and SPY are highly liquid, which may contribute to tighter spreads. Their volume also supports smooth execution for both large and small positions. 5. Accessibility Through CFDs Many traders prefer ETFs via CFDs, which allow traders to open buy and sell positions without owning the underlying asset. CFDs often provide leverage, giving traders the potential to amplify returns while keeping costs tied to spreads and commissions instead of fund expense ratios (please remember about high risks related to leverage trading). Advantages of Trading Stocks Trading stocks offers a direct and focused way to engage with the market. In ETF trading vs stocks, stocks may provide unique opportunities for traders who are drawn to fast-paced action or want to specialise in specific companies or sectors. Here’s what makes trading stocks appealing: 1. High Volatility for Bigger Moves Stocks often experience significant price swings, creating potential opportunities for traders to capitalise on sharp movements. For example, earnings reports, product launches, or market news can drive stocks like Tesla (TSLA) or Amazon (AMZN) to see dramatic intraday price changes. 2. Targeted Exposure With stocks, traders can zero in on a single company, sector, or niche. If a trader believes Apple (AAPL) is set to gain due to new product developments, they can focus entirely on that potential without being diluted by other assets in a fund. 3. News Sensitivity Stocks respond quickly and significantly to news events, providing frequent trading setups. Mergers, management changes, or regulatory updates often result in immediate price movements, making them popular among traders who thrive on analysing market catalysts. 4. Wide Range of Opportunities The sheer variety of stocks—from large-cap giants to small-cap companies—offers endless opportunities for traders. Whether trading high-profile names like Nvidia (NVDA) or speculative small-caps, there’s something for every trading style and risk tolerance. 5. Leverage with CFDs Stocks can also be traded via CFDs, allowing traders to take advantage of price movements with smaller initial capital. This opens the door to flexible position sizes and leverage, amplifying potential returns in active trading. ETFs for Swing Trade and Day Trade ETFs cater to both swing and day traders with their diverse offerings and high liquidity. Some popular swing trading ETFs and ETFs for day trading strategies include: ETFs for Swing Trading - SPY (S&P 500 ETF): Tracks the S&P 500, offering exposure to large-cap US companies with steady trends. - IWO (Russell 2000 ETF): Focuses on small-cap stocks, which tend to be more volatile, providing swing traders with stronger price movements. - XLK (Technology Select Sector SPDR): A tech-heavy ETF that moves in response to sector trends, popular for capturing medium-term shifts. - XLE (Energy Select Sector SPDR): Tracks energy companies, useful for swing traders analysing oil and energy market fluctuations. Day Trading ETFs: - QQQ (Invesco Nasdaq-100 ETF): Offers high intraday liquidity and volatility, making it a favourite for fast trades in tech-heavy markets. - UVXY (ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF): A volatility ETF that reacts quickly to market fear, providing potential opportunities for rapid price changes. - XLF (Financial Select Sector SPDR): Tracks financial stocks and has consistent volume for capturing short-term sector-driven moves. Stocks for Swing Trading and Day Trading Selecting the right stocks is crucial for effective trading. High liquidity and volatility are key factors that make certain stocks more suitable for swing and day trading. Here are some of the most popular options for both styles: Stocks for Swing Trading - Apple Inc. (AAPL): Known for its consistent performance and clear trends. - Tesla Inc. (TSLA): Exhibits significant price movements, offering potential opportunities to capitalise on medium-term swings. - NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA): A leader in the semiconductor industry with strong momentum, suitable for capturing sector trends. - Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN): Provides steady price action, allowing traders to take advantage of consistent movements. Stocks for Day Trading - Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD): High daily volume and volatility make it a favourite among day traders. - Meta Platforms Inc. (META): Offers substantial intraday price swings, presenting potential trading opportunities. - Microsoft Corporation (MSFT): Combines liquidity with moderate volatility, suitable for quick trades. - Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL): Provides consistent intraday movements. How to Choose Between an ETF vs Individual Stocks for Trading Choosing between stocks and ETFs depends on your trading goals, strategy, and risk appetite. Each offers unique advantages, so understanding their characteristics can help you decide which suits your approach. - Risk Tolerance: Stocks often come with higher volatility, making them attractive for traders comfortable with sharper price movements. ETFs offer diversification, which can reduce the impact of individual market shocks. - Trading Strategy: For short-term trades, highly liquid ETFs like QQQ or volatile stocks like TSLA might be considerable. If you're swing trading, ETFs and large-cap stocks may provide steady trends. - Market Focus: In individual stocks vs ETFs, ETFs give access to broad sectors or indices, popular among traders analysing macro trends. Stocks allow for focused plays on individual companies reacting to earnings or news. - Time Commitment: Stocks typically require more monitoring due to their rapid price changes. ETFs, especially sector-specific ones, may demand less frequent attention depending on your strategy. The Bottom Line ETFs and stocks may offer unique opportunities, whether you're targeting diversification or sharp price movements. By understanding the differences between ETFs versus stocks and aligning them with your strategy, you can take advantage of different trading conditions. Ready to start trading?

ETFs (exchange-traded funds) are collections of assets, such as stocks or bonds, combined into a single tradable unit. They offer built-in diversification, as buying one ETF provides exposure to multiple assets. Stocks, in contrast, signify ownership in an individual company. Should I Trade the S&P 500 or Individual Stocks? Trading the S&P 500 (via ETFs like SPY or through index CFDs) provides exposure to the 500 largest US companies, reducing reliance on any single stock. Individual stocks offer higher volatility and opportunities for sharper price movements. Evaluate your strategy and risk tolerance to choose the suitable asset. ETFs vs Individual Stocks: Which Is Better? Neither ETFs nor individual stocks are inherently better—it depends on your goals. ETFs offer diversification and potentially lower volatility, making them suitable for broad market exposure. Stocks provide targeted opportunities from individual company performance. Do ETFs Pay Dividends? Yes, ETFs often pay dividends when their underlying holdings generate income. These are typically paid out periodically, similar to dividends from individual stocks. However, when trading CFDs, dividends are not paid in the traditional sense, as you do not own the underlying asset. However, adjustments are made to your account to reflect dividend payments. Can I Sell ETFs Anytime? ETFs trade on exchanges during market hours, making them highly liquid. Therefore, you can buy or sell ETFs on specific days and hours. Trade on TradingView with FXOpen.
