SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 4-10 : FLAT-DOWN PatternToday's Flat-Down Pattern suggests the SPY/QQQ will struggle to move away from yesterday's big open-close range. Normally, I would suggest the Flat-Down pattern will be a small, somewhat FLAT price move. But, after yesterday's big move, the Flat-Down pattern can really be anywhere within yesterday's Daily Body range. So, we could see very wild volatility today. That means we need to be prepared for general price consolidation (which suggests somewhat sideways price trending) and be prepared for some potential BIG price trends within that consolidation. These BIG price trends would be more like bursts of trending, while still staying somewhat consolidated overall. Watch today's video to learn how the Excess Phase Peak pattern is dominating the trend right now (in the Consolidation Phase). The same thing is happening in BTCUSD. BTCUSD has been in an EPP Consolidation phase for over 35+ days now. Gold and Silver are setting up a CRUSH pattern today. That could be a VERY BIG move higher (or downward). Given my analysis of Gold acting like a hedge (a proper hedge for global risk levels), I believe today's move will EXPLODE higher. Gold is already in an early-stage parabolic bullish price trend. When gold explodes above $3500, I believe it will quickly gain momentum towards the $5100 level. Right now, Gold is recovering from the Tariff news and about to explode upward (above $3200) if we see this CRUSH pattern play out well. Thank you again for all the great compliments. I'm just trying to share my knowledge and skills with all of you before I die. There is no need to carry all of this great information and technology to my grave. So, follow along, ask questions, learn, and PROFIT while I keep doing this.

ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETFInvestment Thesis ProShares Short VIX Short-Term Futures ETF (SVXY) is a fund that allows you to bet on a decline in volatility with a 0.5x ratio. That is, with a 10% decrease or increase in volatility, this fund will respond with a 5% movement in the opposite direction. Volatility has significantly increased amid uncertainty due to mutual tariffs between the U.S. and the rest of the world. This presents good opportunities for opening long positions in SVXY. The risk/reward ratio looks attractive, given that current VIX quotes are near the levels reached during the correction amid the pandemic in 2020. It is also worth noting that the share of S&P 500 components above the 50-day moving average is at local lows, which historically happens rarely and may signal a local potential for market recovery, and thus, a decline in the level of "fear" in the market. In the base case scenario, we expect that countries will be able to reach agreements regarding the imposed tariffs, which will smooth out the overall impact on the U.S. economy and lead to a reduction in market uncertainty. Target price – $46.8 Recommendation – Buy Upside potential – 28% We recommend setting a stop-loss at the level of $29.9.

Cathie Wood Sucks ARKKI always like to mock Cathie, so just throwing up a plot for fun. Orange line is today's close after a 10% market day. If you invested in ARKK in 2018, congrats, you broke even today, lol. She got a reputation from picking a bunch of speculative stocks during the COVID days, you can see the performance since just plain out sucks. 12% of her holdings is still in TSLA, lol. ARKK also owns 10% of PD float (as in 10% of the whole company). She singlehandedly pumped PD during COVID, and now she's stuck with that, there's no liquidity. The worst part about this? If you had invested in TSLA instead of ARKK in 2018, you'd be up 10x right now. 4X if you bought AAPL. Why even bother with this fund? Note: No position, just hate listening to her pump TSLA all the time, $2600 in 5 years, lol.

TLT Analysis: Bonds in Turmoil Amid Tariff ChaosThis week, we've witnessed a dramatic shift as equities and U.S. government bonds cratered simultaneously. Trump, facing intense market backlash, notably reversed his aggressive tariff stance—forced by China's strategic response and market realities. At the start of the week, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries stood at 4.00%, skyrocketing to 4.51% in just a matter of days—a massive jump by typical investor standards. This rapid rise significantly impacts mortgage rates, car loans, and credit card borrowing, reflecting broader financial stress. The sharp rise in bond yields resembles the forced-selling reaction to Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-budget crisis in 2022. Trump's tariff-induced inflation fears and notably weak demand in recent U.S. Treasury auctions further intensified bond selling pressure. Technical Levels & Analysis for TLT Hourly Chart TLT has clearly broken crucial support levels, highlighting significant bearish momentum: • Resistance Zone: $90.00 - $90.50 • Current Trading Zone: Approximately $88.50 • Support Zone: $86.50 - $87.00 (critical level to watch) Daily Chart The daily perspective confirms bearish sentiment with substantial price drops and increasing volatility: • Major Resistance Area: $92.50 - $93.50 (strong overhead resistance where trapped longs may reside) • Immediate Support Area: $86.50 - $87.00 Trade Ideas & Scenarios Bearish Scenario (primary): • Entry Trigger: A confirmed break below the immediate support at $86.50. Profit Targets: • Target 1: $85.00 (short-term follow-through) • Target 2: $83.50 (potential deeper continuation) • Stop Loss: Above $88.50, limiting risk in case of unexpected bullish reversal. Bullish Scenario (counter-trend play): • Entry Trigger: Strong recovery and hold above $89.00. Profit Targets: • Target 1: $90.50 (initial resistance) • Target 2: $92.50 (secondary resistance level) • Stop Loss: Below recent lows near $86.50 to tightly manage risk. The rapid shifts in bond yields and tariffs are causing heightened market volatility. Investors must remain vigilant and maintain strict risk management. Watch these key TLT levels closely, especially amid ongoing tariff news and bond market reactions.

SPY Analysis & Tariff TurmoilLast Friday, the market pressure was intense, and my bullish call option, targeting $537.64 on SPY, seemed overly ambitious as tariffs and political uncertainties peaked. I stated, " AMEX:SPY Trump went all in thinking he had the cards. We were getting sent back to the McKinley era," wondering when or if Trump would fold under international pressure and market realities. Fast-forward to Wednesday, April 8—Trump didn't just blink; he folded utterly, reversing the harsh tariff policies he initially defended aggressively. Prompted by China's aggressively dumping of U.S. Treasuries and stark recession warnings from Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, and JPMorgan, Trump pivoted significantly: • Base tariffs: 10% • Tariffs on China: Increased to 125% • Tariffs on U.S. goods entering China: Increased to 84% starting April 10 While temporarily bullish, these sudden, dramatic policy swings underline ongoing instability and volatility. However, with big bank earnings on deck this Friday, short-term momentum looks positive. Technical Levels & Trade Ideas Hourly Chart The hourly chart reveals a critical zone—dubbed "Liberation Day Trapped Longs"—between $544.37 (H. Vol Sell Target 1b) and $560.54 (L. Vol ST 2b). Bulls trapped here from recent highs may now look to exit on a relief rally. • Bullish Scenario: • Entry: SPY reclaiming and holding above $544.37. • Target 1: $560.54 (top of trapped longs) • Target 2: $566.54 (next resistance area) • Stop Loss: Below recent lows near $535 to limit downside. • Bearish Scenario (if tariffs intensify again or earnings disappoint): • Entry: Breakdown confirmation below $535. • Target 1: $522.20 (Weeks Low Long) • Target 2: $510.00, potential further support • Stop Loss: Above $544.50 to manage risk effectively. Daily Chart Perspective The broader daily chart shows SPY stabilizing around key lower supports after significant volatility. Recent price action suggests cautious optimism for an upward bounce, but considerable headwinds remain if tariff escalations resume. Final Thoughts The rapid tariff reversals and heightened volatility are unsettling. The short-term bullish move offers potential quick upside trades into earnings, but caution remains paramount. You can continue managing risks prudently and watch closely for political or economic headlines that could quickly shift market sentiment again.

Analyzing TLT's Current Technical SetupRecent price action in TLT has raised questions about whether the recent sell-off reflects foreign selling pressure, potentially driven by liquidity shifts into equities, or simply represents healthy profit-taking. Key economic data from Japan may provide context to this move, as Japan's current account surplus hit a record high at JPY 4,060.7 billion in February 2025, driven by strong exports and reduced imports. Technical Analysis: TLT experienced a sharp reversal after testing resistance levels around $93-$94, indicating significant selling interest at these upper bands. Currently, the price is approaching crucial support levels, with key areas of focus being $89.78, $89.20, and $88.60. Price action in these zones will be critical to watch for confirmation of further direction. Bullish Scenario: Entry: Look for support confirmation around $89.78 or slightly lower at $89.20. Profit Targets: First target: Rebound towards the previous resistance around $91.25. Second target: Extended move towards the upper resistance zone around $93. Stop Loss: Clearly place a stop-loss below $88.60, protecting against a deeper breakdown. Bearish Scenario: If price decisively breaks below $89.78 with strong volume confirmation: Entry: Consider short positions on confirmed break and retest failure below $89.78. Profit Targets: First target: Next immediate support at $89.20. Second target: Stronger support area at $88.60. Stop Loss: Set a stop-loss slightly above $90.30 to manage risk effectively. Market Context: Japan's record current account surplus could signify reduced foreign buying pressure on US Treasuries, potentially contributing to the selling in TLT. This macroeconomic backdrop underscores the importance of watching these key technical levels closely. Final Thoughts: Keep a close eye on volume and RSI for confirming indicators, ensuring trades are executed with clear risk management. Given the macroeconomic context and current technical setup, caution and flexibility in trading decisions remain essential.

Analyzing SPY's Current Technical SetupAfter a strong downward momentum observed on the daily timeframe, SPY has shown signs of a potential reversal on the lower timeframe (65-minute chart). Here's the breakdown: SPY has seen a significant bearish move recently, breaking through key support levels and establishing a new recent low around the critical Half 2 Short target at $486.41. This sharp bearish action indicates strong selling pressure, as evidenced by high volume spikes accompanying the down move. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily has reached oversold territory (around 20), suggesting potential for a short-term bounce or consolidation. 65-Minute Chart Analysis: On the shorter timeframe, SPY is showing a recovery phase, with the price reclaiming the Half 1 Short level at $508.91. The upward price action is supported by rising RSI, now trending upward above the mid-level (50), signaling short-term bullish momentum. Volume is moderately strong, suggesting buyer participation. Trade Idea and Levels: - Bullish Scenario: - Entry: I deally, an entry would be considered on a confirmed hold above $508.91. - Profit Targets: - First target: Weeks High Short at approximately $520.16. - Second target: High Sell Target around $531.41 (more optimistic scenario if bullish momentum strengthens). - Stop Loss: Clearly set a stop below the recent pivot low at approximately $497.50 for risk management. - Bearish Scenario: - If price fails to sustain above $508.91 and reverses downwards: - Entry: Consider short entry upon confirmed rejection below $508.91. - Profit Targets: - First target: Recent pivot low at $497.50. - Second target: Half 2 Short at $486.41. - Stop Loss: S et stop above $513, allowing for minor volatility without compromising risk control. Final Thoughts: Given the current oversold conditions on the daily timeframe and emerging bullish signs on the shorter timeframe, cautious bullish entries with tight stops could present favorable risk-to-reward setups. However, remain flexible to shift to a bearish stance if the price action fails to sustain the critical $508.91 level. Always manage risk accordingly and adjust positions based on ongoing market confirmation.

GLD UpdateI don't plan on trading gold because there's better plays right now, but I wanted to fix my chart. I should've known that old resistance would be new support, and drawn the line at the Feb high. I did make money on my GLD puts though, I cashed out yesterday. I "think" it's gonna make a pennant then head towards new highs as Iran is the next market whipsaw. When he starts getting pissy about Iran, that's when I'll go long, lol. Gold is probably the safest play while Trump is in office.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 4-9 : Top/Resistance UpdateToday's big rally, prompted by Trump's Tariff comments, presents a real learning opportunity for traders and followers of my videos. Everyone wants to know what's going to happen next. This video will tell you what I believe is NEXT for the markets and why. It should also reinforce the construct that price is the ultimate indicator and the use of the EPP/Cradle patterns as a mechanism for using price structure to attempt to identify where opportunities may exist. As much as this video is an analysis of price action and a prediction of what may come next, it is also a tutorial showing you how to use price patterns, structure and context to attempt to plan for your next opportunities. Ideally, the next phase of the market is to establish a consolidation range. If the 480-525 lower consolidation range does not hold - then it will likely become a precursor of the July breakdown (support) level. Remember, we still have the July/Oct lows to deal with. I fully expect the 550-575 consolidation range to become the new dominant consolidation phase for the current EPP pattern. It makes sense to me that, absent any crazy tariff war, the most likely outcome will be for the markets to recover back to the 550-575 level and to consolidate further. The last component we have to consider is the recent lows near 480 could have been a very quick breakdown to an Ultimate Low. If that is the case, then we'll most into a mode of seeking the next higher resistance level and I believe the 550 or 575 level would be the obvious next resistance level. So, at this point, I believe the continuation of the Excess Phase Peak pattern is likely, but the price is actively seeking the consolidation range between the lower consolidation level and the upper consolidation level. Price MUST establish the consolidation range, or INVALIDATE this pattern, in order to move onto the next pattern/phase.

Spy ... Reload?The question over the next 2 days will be is this move up real or not. First, let's look at the position things are in now. 1.Seasonality is very bullish around this time 2. Technicals are oversold and market bounced off some solid supports. 3. Earnings season is about to begin, and in my experience you usually don't see that market crashing in the middle of earning season.. So those are the 3 reasons to want to be long. Now look at Spy weekly chart, Zoom out to 2016 and then add your weekly 50ma; what you'll notice is that in every serious correction the Spy has suffered since 2016 the bear market only ends when Spy can close the week back above the Weekly 50ma The weekly 50ma is currently at 565 , throw in the gap close at 565 and the price action resistance and you got a power line of resistance I would exit any longs near this area here. We may not knife back down extreme but we could shop and trade between 540-565 and in a extreme bear scenario the short back to 400.00 after rounding off a right shoulder with a couple of weeks of consolidation But that's an extreme bear scenario and the only reason I'm entertaining it is because what I see on the TVC:DJI and TVC:NYA Here's TVC:NYA weekly chart This is probably the biggest rising wedge you'll ever see. Dating back 15yrs , if this was to fall out this would mark the end of the bull run from 2009. Zoomed in And you'll see that the weekly 50ma and the prior Wyckoff neck are at the same spot which makes this a power line resistance! I don't expect this to make it back across and I'd be looking at a major short entry here that should coincide with spy tagging its weekly 50ma TVC:DJI Exact same chart as NYA Zoomed in , same scenario as NYA AMEX:XLK The biggest sector on AMEX:SPY and a leading indicator on Tech is showing same thing Weekly chart (Log scale) So the bad news is in the coming weeks, I think we will be tested and this rally may be a bull trap that stalls out at the weekly 50ma. The good news for bulls is we may have another 3-4% pump before we have to bail 😂.. But first Spy needs to break over 553 or 20sma.. Over 553 and it's a 80% chance 565 comes next. Until then 552-537 is chop so ignore any pullback unless we break back below 525 Personally I think we have enough juice to tag 567 by end of next week. Remember 537-550 is chop and don't look too much into it If spy closes any week back above 565 then it's a 75% chance we are headed back to 600... Let's see what happens

spy had a meaningful run today with strong institutional activiySPY Pre-Market Breakdown – April 9, 2025 Phase 1: 4:00 AM – 5:30 AM – Early Accumulation The pre-market session began with SPY trading around the 490 level, showing cautious price action in a consolidation pattern. During these early hours, price maintained a relatively tight range between 489 and 491, with minimal directional commitment. Volume remained light during this period, typical of early pre-market hours, but began building steadily as we approached 5:00 AM. Around 5:00 AM, we observed the first meaningful price movement as SPY began testing higher levels with several green candles pushing toward 494. This early strength coincided with increasing volume, suggesting genuine buying interest rather than just thin market conditions. The price action formed a series of higher lows, establishing a short-term uptrend channel. What's particularly noteworthy in this phase was the balanced options exposure, with call and put exposure roughly similar , indicating no strong directional bias from options traders yet. This balance suggested market participants were still positioning themselves, waiting for clearer signals before committing to a direction. Phase 2: 5:30 AM – 7:00 AM – Positioning Builds The second phase showed increased momentum and clearer directional bias. SPY continued its upward trajectory, breaking through the 494 level and eventually challenging the psychologically important 495 level. Volume began increasing significantly during this period, adding credibility to the price advance. Around 6:00 AM, we noticed the first significant divergence between call and put activity. Call exposure began increasing relative to put exposure, signaling growing bullish sentiment. The chart is indicating aggressive call buying or put unwinding. This shift in options flow provided an early signal that institutional traders were positioning for higher prices. Price consolidation occurred between 495-496 with increased volume, suggesting accumulation rather than distribution at these higher levels. The market was digesting gains but showed no signs of significant profit-taking or reversal. The price action formed a pattern of shallow pullbacks followed by renewed buying interest, a behavior often seen when institutions are accumulating positions. Phase 3: 7:00 AM – 8:45 AM – Execution The final phase demonstrated the culmination of the positioning seen earlier. Around 7:00 AM, price momentum accelerated with SPY pushing decisively through the 496 level and challenging 497. This breakout was accompanied by a significant increase in volume, confirming the validity of the move. Options flow data showed an explosion in call activity during this period, with call exposure reaching over 9 million contracts while put exposure remained relatively stable. Between 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM, we witnessed classic breakout behavior with price establishing itself firmly above previous resistance levels. Any shallow pullbacks were quickly bought, demonstrating strong conviction from buyers. The market is showing some put unwinding alongside continued call buying, suggesting traders were removing downside protection while adding to bullish positions. The Level II quotes showed a notable imbalance developing with buyers willing to pay up and fewer willing sellers. This order book imbalance further confirmed institutional interest in higher prices. Final Bias: Bullish The pre-market session demonstrated a clear bullish bias supported by multiple factors: Price Structure: A series of higher lows and higher highs throughout the session, breaking through multiple resistance levels with conviction. Volume Confirmation: Increasing volume on advances and lighter volume on pullbacks, suggesting genuine buying interest and minimal profit-taking. Options Flow: Progressive increase in call exposure relative to puts, with the final phase showing overwhelming call dominance, indicating institutional positioning for upside. Order Flow: Aggressive buying on breakouts with minimal selling pressure on pullbacks, suggesting strong hands accumulating positions. Late Session Stabilization: Price holding gains near session highs with continued buying interest, rather than fading into the regular market open. Institutions appeared to be positioning for a higher open and potentially continued upside during the regular session. The methodical building of positions throughout the pre-market, rather than a single aggressive spike, suggests this was not merely a reaction to overnight news but rather deliberate positioning ahead of anticipated strength. Trade Setups with Entry, Stop, Target Trade 1: Breakout Continuation (High-Conviction) Entry Zone: 496.50-497.00 on first pullback after market open Stop-Loss: Below 495.75 (below pre-market consolidation) Profit Target: 499.50-500.00 (psychological level and round number) Rationale: Strong pre-market accumulation with increasing call flow suggests continued momentum into regular hours trading. Trade 2: Dip-Buying Opportunity (Medium-Conviction) Entry Zone: 494.80-495.20 if market pulls back to test breakout level Stop-Loss: Below 494.00 (previous resistance becomes support) Profit Target: 498.00-498.50 Rationale: Pre-market volume and options flow indicate institutions positioned for strength, likely to defend key levels on pullbacks.
