Learn how to trade EOD / FOD Professional StrategyEOD /FOD is an acronym for End of Day buy or sell short entry that holds overnight and the First of Day sell the ETF or stock at Market Open. This is a strategy for experienced to Elite aka Semi-Professional Traders. Beginners need to hone skills and practice in a simulator.
Professional Traders use this strategy all the time. They rarely intraday trade aka "day trading" unless they are Sell Side Institution floor traders who do intraday trading all daylong.
EOD /FOD is a very simple, easy to learn strategy for when Buy Side Giant Dark Pools have accumulated OR have Supported the Market and the Dark Pools foot print of a rectangle that is narrow with consistent highs and lows.
TWAP Dark Pool orders trigger at a low price or lower and usually move price minimally. When in Support the Market mode. The run up is a long white candle.
TWAPs are automated Time Weighted At Average Price. These orders ping at a specific time and buy in accumulation mode. If the stock price suddenly moves up beyond the high range of the TWAP, then the orders pause or halt.
Then pro traders do nudges and runs are instigated by either Gap Ups by HFTs, OR smaller funds VWAP ORDERS, or MEME's or other large groups of retail traders all trading and entering orders in sync or as close to sync as possible to create a flood of small lots that do move price upward OR downward rapidly.
Using the EOD /FOD requires understanding of how the Dark Pools, Pro Traders and other groups react to price and what, where and when orders are automated.
When ever you see a platform trend pattern such as we have on the QQQ yesterday at close and early this morning, then the entry would have been in the last 5 minutes of yesterday's market.
ETF market
Technology ETF Flirts with New HighsTechnology stocks have been coming to life recently, and some traders may expect new highs soon.
The first pattern on today’s chart of the SPDR Select Sector Technology Fund is last July’s peak around $238. As the fund retreated from that level, it began a period of underperformance. (See ratio chart in the lower study.) The weakness continued through April, when it started to outpace the broader market again.
Second is $240.84, the final price on December 6 and the highest weekly closing price ever. XLK is on track to potentially surpass that level, which could confirm a breakout.
Third, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is nearing a potential “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA. Is the longer-term trend turning bullish again?
Finally, price action in this fund could be important for the broader market because technology represents almost one-third of the S&P 500 index.
Standardized Performances for the ETF mentioned above:
SPDR Select Sector Technology ETF (XLK)
1-year: +9.87 %
5-years: +135.69%
10-year: +432.42%

Global Paymasters - how many do you own in your portfolio?In many countries, you would have some payment processing companies with the global brand like Visa, Mastercard, Paypal dominating. In China, we have Tencent and Alibaba which I am invested in.
So, if you like the fundamentals and growth story of these payment companies, buying into the ETFs may be a good idea.
Here's three promising ETFs to consider.
SPY (S&P500 ETF) - Price Bouncing Up from Support after NewsSPY (S&P500 ETF) price has bounced up from the $593 support level after recent global news (de-escalation news).
Price action has slowed and consolidated in June 2025, and the S&P500 is still maintaining a price uptrend.
The 50EMA and 20EMA Golden Cross is still active and in progress (since May 2025).
The next stock market earnings season is not for another 3 months. Inflation, interest rate news, global events, government news, corporate news will continue to affect price volatility this summer.
Resistance Levels: $604, $610, $612, $619.
Support Levels: $600, $593, $586, $579.
SPY Breaks Out of Gamma Box! Will It a Trend Day or Fade Setup?SPY Breaks Out of Gamma Box! Will IT Trigger a Trend Day or Fade Setup? 🚀📉
🔍 Chart Overview
* Timeframes: 1H (GEX + key zones), 15M (Price action + SMC).
* Price: $601.65 at close.
* SPY broke above 600, a key GEX resistance and call wall area, and is pushing into a zone with less options resistance.
📊 GEX + Options Sentiment
* 601–602 Zone: Highest positive NET GEX, aligned with CALL wall and resistance—where market makers may start to hedge against upside.
* 604–606: Next upside liquidity zone; low GEX, meaning little dealer resistance = gamma vacuum potential.
* IVR: 21.2 (elevated slightly).
* Put Positioning: 78.2% heavy skew—market still defensively positioned.
* GEX Shift: Bullish; breakout above 599–600 flips structure toward 604 as target.
📐 Smart Money Concepts (15M Chart)
* CHoCH → BOS Confirmed: Trend structure flipped bullish today.
* SPY rallied off demand at 591.90 (old support/OB) with increasing volume.
* Currently tapping into minor supply zone (purple box) at 601.5–602.
📈 Key Technical Levels
* Support:
* 599.00 (GEX flip zone)
* 596.41 (FVG support)
* 594.28 (OB + FVG confluence)
* Resistance:
* 602.00 (GEX wall + supply)
* 604.85 (GEX extension zone)
📌 Scenarios
🟢 Bullish Play (Momentum Breakout)
* Entry: Above 602.20 (confirm breakout of supply)
* Targets: 604.50 → 606.00
* Stop: Below 600.40
* Confluence: Gamma vacuum + weak resistance = ideal for calls if IV remains controlled.
🔴 Bearish Play (Fade from GEX Wall)
* Entry: Rejects 602 with wicks + high volume reversal
* Targets: 599.50 → 597.00 → 594.50
* Stop: Above 602.50
* Confluence: Heavy puts suggest rally could be faded unless institutions step in.
💡 Game Plan
* Watch 602 rejection or acceptance—this will likely decide the rest of the week's direction.
* If accepted, it's likely a gamma squeeze to 604–606.
* If rejected, SPY may dip back to 599–597 to retest bullish structure.
🎯 Options Strategy
* Bullish: Weekly 602C or 604C if breakout confirmed.
* Bearish: 600P for fade/rejection plays. Higher risk due to squeeze potential—tight stops.
🧠 Final Thoughts
SPY is at a pivotal level. The breakout from 599 suggests bulls in control, but we're now at Gamma resistance. Keep tight risk if playing calls above 602. The upside is open—but only if dealers lose control.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 6-23 : Afternoon UpdateWhat happened to the CRUSH pattern?
Everyone wants to know why the CRUSH pattern didn't show up today. Well, I keep telling all of you these SPY Cycle Patterns are based on GANN, Tesla and Fibonacci price structures. They do not take into consideration news, global events, or anything outside of PRICE.
They are predictive - meaning they attempt to predict potential price shapes/patterns weeks, months, and years in advance.
The markets, obviously, are seeking some normalcy after the Iran conflict. I thought the CRUSH pattern would have been a perfect fit for today - but obviously the markets didn't agree.
If you have been following my videos, you know I keep saying the US stock market is acting as a global hedge for risks. Traders are pouring capital into the US stock market as a way to avoid global risk factors.
Traders are also pouring capital into Gold/Silver. Demand for physical metals is through the roof right now.
Time will tell if my Excess Phase Peak pattern plays out as I expect or if we rally to new ATHs.
Obviously, this sideways rollover topping pattern could present a breakaway in either direction.
Again, my patterns are not correlated based on news or other events. They are strictly price-based.

SPY- Premarket readPre-Market Read – June 23
AMEX:SPY
Premarket High: 595.15
Premarket Low: 592.15
Bias: Leaning Bearish
Price got rejected again at that 600–602 zone — that’s been a wall.
All the EMAs (9/50/200) are stacked tight, which usually means something’s brewing.
Institutions bought heavy down around 572–579 — they’re already green, so they might start selling into strength.
I’m expecting chop between 593–595 off the open.
I’ll probably wait out the first 15 min and let the ORB build.
If we break out, I’m watching both sides, but I lean put.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 6-23 : CRUSH PatternToday's CRUSH pattern suggests the markets will struggle to find any support for a rally. A CRUSH pattern is usually a large breakdown type of price bar that moves aggressively against the dominant trend.
Som, today I'm expecting some fairly large price action and I believe the markets may start a breakdown move this week as we continue to get more news related to the Israel/Iran/US conflict.
This week will be a "resettling" week in my opinion. Buyers will start to actively liquidate and reposition assets as we move deeper into this conflict. When buyers turn into sellers (to get out), the markets usually react very aggressively in trend.
Metals continue to hold up without making any big moves. I believe the increased FEAR level could play out as a moderate rally for metals over the next 15-30+ days.
BTCUSD broke down very hard (more than 6%) over the past 3-4+ days. This is a big move downward for Bitcoin and could suggest US technology stocks/sectors could also collapse on fear of a "rollover top" in the US stock market.
Smart traders will hedge and pull capital away from this potential top - just like I've been suggesting for the past 2-3+ weeks.
Oddly enough, if we do get a rollover/top this week because of the Iran conflict, it plays right into my Excess Phase Peak pattern and the predictions I've been making over the past 4+ months.
No, I don't foresee events like this Israel/US/Iran conflict. I can't see into the future.
What I can do, and continue to try to deliver, is the best analysis I can offer without becoming BIASED by indicators, comments, or other inputs.
I just read the chart and will tell you what I see as the most likely outcome.

Major Resistance Test for OilUSO trying to break above the $83 area for the fifth time since 2023 here. If it can manage to do so I'd be expecting a much bigger move. Potentially all the way up to the trendline above or the high from 2022 around $93.
Ideal long entry would be on a break and retest of $83, or just longing on the break since it could be a while before it retests. Just have to be careful for a potential fake out which could lead to yet another big rejection.
SPY: ASI DIMENTION SHIFT TRADESPY: ASI Dimension Shift Trade
Markets are no longer responding to human logic—they're reacting to macro compression and machine foresight.
This trade captures the inflection point where AI and capital collide.
📌 Watch:
AMEX:SPY holding above 532 = dimension support
Breakdown below 518 = confirmation of SMC exit
VolanX signal: “Shift registered. Volatility node expanding. Defensive alignment required.”

579 spy incoming?I posted this a week or so ago. I think we are finally going to have the momentum, or lack thereof, to make it down to fill the rest of that gap. I have noticed that large gaps that leave a small gap below(you must adjust the indicator to show it) almost always get filled before continuing up. This 579 level also matches up perfectly with the 20ema on the weekly which should provide further support. I will be looking for this level all week while being aware of any short squeezes that could occur on the way down. Will definitely go long at this 579 level as I think we will have a very green July.

🌍 Market-Moving News 🌍
🌐 Geopolitics Add to Risk Aversion
The S&P 500 is up about 0.9% so far in June, but analysts warn it’s facing a “precarious” phase amid renewed Middle East conflict and looming U.S. tariff deadlines in July–August. Elevated oil prices could fuel inflation, while fiscal and debt ceiling pressures weigh on sentiment

exposing the inner workings of the illusive 'black box'Black box reveal
I was debating whether i'd ever share this publicly, but i came to an agreement with myself and decided to share this out of commission model. With the knowledge that comes with understanding predictive quant models, I was able to derive patterns the had arisen in the market via matching algorithms which gave me the ability to predict where a market was likely to open, make a high, make a low, and close on any given day where no news was being priced in. I was always told to keep my findings private, but no one wins if I do that, so I decided to share and the individuals that have the ability and care to figure out the puzzle for themselves can do so with this as a starting point. Im writing this post in one take so I apologize for any grammatical errors. In tradingview's LEAP challenge i've kinda been blowing my account over the last week and have just under 80% profit and no open positions with a week to go before it ends, so this post is also for people to look back and see if intraday trading can catapult my account. Good luck to all the participants!
SPY At Risk as Geopolitical Tensions Rise Jun 23 — What Monday Holds for Bulls & Bears ⚔️📉
🔍 GEX & Options Sentiment Overview:
From the daily GEX chart:
* Key Gamma Levels:
* 📍Call Walls: 597 → 602 (supply zones), strong resistance.
* 📍Put Walls: 590 → 587 → 572, significant gamma exposure to the downside.
* High Volatility Zone (HVL) at 590 – a trigger level; under this, the market may accelerate downside toward 587 and even 572.
* GEX Summary:
* PUTS: 80.4% dominance
* GEX Net: 🔴 extremely negative
* IVR 23.3, still on the lower side but rising
* Implication: Dealers are hedging to the downside. Gamma exposure creates risk of accelerated selloff below 590.
📊 Technical Analysis – Daily (1D)
* Price: 594.28 (as of Friday close)
* Trend: Daily candle broke prior support; new lower high confirmed.
* Structure:
* Failed to reclaim 597, now acting as local resistance
* Next major demand zone: 587
* Trendline from the recent highs shows lower highs; bearish continuation forming.
* Volume: Bearish candle closed with strong volume — sign of institutional distribution.
⏱️ Intraday TA – 1H Chart
* CHoCH/BOS: Confirmed Break of Structure near 591, then a small rally attempt.
* Micro Supply Box: 596.5–597.5 — liquidity trap if SPY rallies into it.
* Support Zones:
* 593.35 / 594.00 – holding Friday’s bounce.
* If fails, expect sweep to 590 → 587.
* Trendline Pressure: Downward diagonal trendline rejecting every bounce. Unless a full candle close over 599.50, bias remains bearish.
⚠️ Geopolitical Risk – U.S. Bombs Iran
* News: U.S. launched targeted airstrikes on Iranian assets. Market now faces:
* Flight to safety: TLT, Gold, and USD may rise.
* Oil likely spikes — expect XLE and energy stocks to outperform.
* Tech and indexes may open with gap-down risk due to heightened geopolitical uncertainty.
* SPY Implications:
* Risk-off behavior could amplify sell-off under 590.
* Traders may hedge via VIX calls, gold futures, or SPY puts.
* Watch for VIX spikes or DXY rally as confirmation of sentiment shift.
🧠 Trade Scenarios – Monday June 24
🔻 Bearish Case (High-Probability if Geopolitical Escalates)
* Rejects at 596–597 zone (supply)
* Entry: ~595–596 rejection
* Targets: 590 → 587 → 572 (extreme GEX)
* Stop: 598.5–599.2 above supply box
🔼 Bullish Case (If Market Shakes Off Iran Tension)
* Breaks over 597.5, closes above 599.5 (CHoCH confirmation)
* Entry: 598–599 breakout
* Targets: 602 → 604.5 (2nd Call Wall)
* Stop: 596.5
📌 My Thoughts:
SPY is sitting on a knife’s edge. GEX is screaming downside, and now geopolitical risk adds another layer of pressure. Monday could open with volatility spikes, and if the market gaps down under 590, it might cascade to 587 fast.
Only a reclaim above 599.5 invalidates the bearish structure — and even then, macro headlines might limit upside. Stay nimble. Hedge if holding longs.
🧭 Action Plan for Monday:
* Scalpers: Watch the 596–597 rejection zone — quick puts may work well.
* Swing traders: Use HVL 590 as pivot. Lose it? Target 587.
* Hedgers: VIX calls or GLD may provide cushion.
* Macro watchers: Monitor oil (USO), DXY, and bonds (TLT) for risk-on/off cues.

SPY: Expecting Bullish Continuation! Here is Why:
Balance of buyers and sellers on the SPY pair, that is best felt when all the timeframes are analyzed properly is shifting in favor of the buyers, therefore is it only natural that we go long on the pair.

Uranium The Epic Explosion!Global uranium demand is up to rise about 28% by 2030, driven by clean-energy pushes, nuclear restarts (e.g., Japan), and advanced modular reactors
Kazakhstan’s largest producer, Kazatomprom, cut its 2025 production forecast by ~17% due to logistical hurdles and resource constraints
Iran signaled openness to discussions with European counterparts aimed at curbing its uranium enrichment levels. However, seasoned diplomacy and regional conflict issues complicate prospects for an agreement
Bottom line: Uranium markets are tightening due to production cuts and geopolitical risk, while long-range demand is gaining momentum thanks to nuclear expansion and emerging energy technologies.
