SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 9-20 : Breaking Up/Down PatternAfter watching yesterday's rally phase (which I believe was a relief rally driven mostly by foreign markets), I believe today's price move will be somewhat muted. Yes, today's pattern is a Breaking (UP/DN) pattern, which suggests we may see some type of volatility event today. But overall, I believe yesterday's big price move was a volatility event, and today, the markets will struggle to identify a trend. I believe price will struggle for direction/trend today, and because of that, I'm urging traders to move assets away from the markets heading into this weekend. I think it is better to move assets into CASH and prepare for trading next week. There is no reason to attempt to pick a position or trade heading into this weekend when we really don't know how the global markets will react to news or conflict events worldwide. So, the best option today is to try to identify a few early trades, then move your assets into mostly cash and wait it out (till Monday). I don't expect the markets to do anything besides consolidate below yesterday's highs. Gold made the move up to 2635-2640 today - perfect. Pull profits today and wait for the next move. BTCUSD is a bit higher today, but I believe it will pause - just like almost everything else today. The global markets are still digesting the rate cut. We'll see what happens early next week - but today will probably be a stalling/pause in trend.

SPY - No Pain No Gain - Where's my peaches!So taking some PAIN as the markets wants to rally. However I am still not really worried as I am of the opinion that yesterday was just noise, pushing players out and setting up for a pullback. For those of you following back when inflation was "transitory" I was telling my followers that it was not transitory that it was going to stick. The FED is generally lagging because we have dotes running this country. Yes everyone in Government seems to fail upward. Just amazing how we have such incompetency running our financial systems. Technically, I stand with this is a B leg of a broader correction cycle. Things are not all peaches and cream. Well this year the peaches sucked anyways, not sure why but they did here in Florida. Consumer Debt at all time highs is going to be a real driver in cutting into consumer discretionary purchases. Also starting to see a lot more discounts at the grocery store which is indicative of people going with cheaper choices. NY Steaks $8.99/lb, Chicken Quarters $0.99 /lb. I am getting Free Range Organic Eggs for $3.99 /lb. This means many are eating spaghetti and cereal because they can't afford healthy food. Also spending on dining out is down as well. I mean seriously, I use to go to breakfast and get eggs bacon, grits and toast, with a coffee for $6. Now that same meal is $10 and does not include coffee. Credit Card delinquency is at it's highest level in 10 years and rising. Car Repo's are up a staggering 23% and rising. (look good or buy eggs) Ford and Chevy offering 1.99% on their 1/2 tons pickups (they can't move them) Housing market is starting to become a buyers market. We have been looking for a second home after selling our rental, and literally had two agents at two different open houses tell us, make an offer, don't think its too low!!! So though houses under 300k or over 1 million are still relatively selling in our area, the 400-800k homes are not. This is evidence of middle class erosion or clamming up. In short this is a house of cards that will end badly regardless of who is in office. This will lead to more money printing and more inflation IMO. We are Fucked!!! So yes for now I will hold my short. I can change as the market may not be primed to pullback, but we will get that pullback at some point here. This does not imply sell your long term holdings. What I would recommend is build up some cash to have for better prices. And Lord Jesus, get me some good peaches!!!

SPY testing key resistance levelsSPY today broke its resistance level set back in July after processing the rate cut. Other worrying signs to emerging though shorter term resistance is breached to the upside Longer term resistance line show SPY is back to pushing the limits trying to break above Last time we experienced break above long term resistance in July it was followed by steep sell off in August We should not be celebrating and jumping in on SPY just yet, looking like its poised for another correction. It is September-October after all.

SPY - Taking Some Pain Augghhhh Taking some pain with my short position, but not the first time I have been here. Going to see where we are closer to close of the day or perhaps tomorrow to see if I should close out. 1) I don't want to be short if this market breakout sticks. That could be really painful and I may just have to blow this out and take my loss. 2) I don't want to close out my short if this is just a knee jerk reaction, short covering or firms having to buy stock to cover short calls. So I will just be patient here and see how the day plans out. Updating as I don't want you to think I am hiding over a bad trade. Bad Trades happen, losses happen, I am indifferent to a loss since I stick with my strategy. AND YES THIS IS REAL MONEY NOT LIKE THOSE FAKE GURUS WHO CAN'T EVEN AFFORD A MARGIN ACCOUNT.

SPY500 $SPY | RALLY AFTER FED RATE CUT - Sep. 19th, 2024SPY AMEX:SPY | RALLY AFTER FED RATE CUT - Sep. 19th, 2024 BUY/LONG ZONE (GREEN): $552.50 - $575.00 WEAKER BULLISH ZONE (PALE GREEN): $552.50 - $540.50 Weekly: Bullish Daily: Bullish 4H: Bullish This was my analysis for the end of the day yesterday, forgot to post it. Price has already rallied fairly well today. The Fed cut rates yesterday 50bps, down from 5.50 to 5.00. Here is what I was looking at as the market became volatile when reacting to the news. Despite the market already quickly moving in favor of the bullish zone, I still think we will reach the top of that zone before any form of reversal or significant pullback. This is what I would personally look at before entering trades, everything is subject to change on a daily basis and as I analyze different timeframes and ideas.

SPY: Week of Sept 16Switching it up with a written post this week. It has been a very interesting market lately. Bear market volatility with a continued bull market undertone. The volatility has been stemming, likely, from the onslaught of economic data that has whipsawed the rate cut probabilities as fast as it has whipsawed the price action. As of now, we are back to a fairly optimistic outlook for rate cuts.. at least, a higher probability of rate cuts. If you check on the CME FedWatch site, you will see that it is split down the middle. The probability of a 25 BPS cut is...50%. The probability of a 50 BPS cut is .. 50%. If it wasn't so annoying, it would be funny, I'm sure. Over the course of the last 3 weeks, we have went from 40% probability of a 50 BPS cut, to sub 40, to over 50 and now to 50. And really what it comes down to is what this rate cut actually is, 25 or 50? Market is expecting, from my understanding, a 50 BPS cut. Anything below that will likely cause further selling. However, getting a 50 BPS cut will resume the bull market thesis per norm. My bet is 50 at this point because there are still a tad bit more bullish indications than bearish, i.e. that still unhit high prob on SPX which puts SPY above 570. Anyway, as I am not a fundamental analyst and all of these fundamentals BORE ME TO DEATH, let's get into what math, models and projections say for next week! Outlook for next week is Bullish with a hint of whipsaw. Makes sense given the fact that this is the long anticipated week of the rate cut announcement! We also have came so close yesterday (Friday) to hitting that high prob target on the month of 563, but it just fell short: This target has to be hit, the probability we don't hit it is 3%. The ARIMA outlook for next week is positive and has us uptrending: At day 5, arima has the 95% UCL (95% probability we close below) at 595, and the 95% LCL (95% probability we close above) at 564. That's a HELL of an aggressive forecast for ARIMA, essentially saying we are closing the week next week in the 560s if all goes to plan. I have to say, I am skeptical, but ARIMA has always done me well, so I will be mindful of these levels for sure. Our generic price targets are in the main chart above, but essentially the forecasted high for next week, assuming a bullish thesis, is 569. And since 69 is my favourite number, then I suspect its going to be the one. The forecasted low, assuming bearish, is 552. Both price targets are possible given the outlook of bullish whipsaw, so keep that in mind. And at the end of the day it really does lean into the fundamentals this week. You really need to pay attention to that rate decision. All in all, those are my thoughts. Once market opens I will have a whole slew of new data and probs, so can update if anything is particularly interesting then. Otherwise, safe trades and have a great weekend!

SPY After FOMC TA for 9/18/2024FOMC release, a few key points emerge for scalping the next day: Price Levels: Support Zones: 561.38: Strong area of support shown by volume shelf on the volume profile. Buyers have stepped in around this level, making it crucial for intraday scalping. 560.83: Another support level where substantial volume has accumulated. Resistance Levels: 568.68: Marked as the high, which could act as the upper resistance. If SPY moves into a bullish momentum, this would be a key profit-taking zone. Volume Profile: The volume profile shows heavy volume accumulation between 560-561, indicating consolidation around this area. A breakout or breakdown from this level will likely lead to stronger price movement. Stochastic RSI: Stochastic RSI shows a bullish crossover near oversold conditions, indicating potential upside momentum for tomorrow. This aligns with SPY’s bounce during the FOMC session, suggesting that bulls are gaining some control. FOMC Impact and Direction: After FOMC announcements, SPY tends to be more volatile as traders digest the news. The current chart suggests a neutral to bullish bias heading into tomorrow. SPY bounced back from the 561 support, and if the momentum continues, the next key level to watch would be 565 and then 568.68 for potential breakouts. Scalping Strategy for Tomorrow: Bullish Scenario: Entry: Around 563.50 - 564, which is close to the support/resistance flip area after the FOMC reaction. Use tighter stop losses to limit risk. Exit 1: 565.50 - 566 (quick profit target if resistance holds). Exit 2: 568.68 (if momentum is strong, this level could be tested). Stop-loss: Below 561.50, to protect from downside volatility. Bearish Scenario (if there's a gap down): Entry: Around 561, just below the volume shelf. If SPY breaks below this zone, there could be a sharp sell-off. Exit 1: 560.00, which is a psychological level, aligning with volume gaps. Exit 2: 558.50, a lower level where buyers might step in. Stop-loss: Above 564, to avoid whipsaw losses. Thought Process: Upside Momentum: Given the bullish crossover on the stochastic and the bounce from key support during the FOMC, it’s likely SPY will test 565+ levels, though this could depend on overnight futures and early morning sentiment. Watch for Breakouts/Breakdowns: Pay attention to how SPY reacts around the 561-564 range for clearer direction tomorrow. Use tight stops and react to price action as liquidity from FOMC can cause unexpected spikes or drops.

What To Expect After The Fed rate Cut: 9-18-2024 (Fed Day)This video is really designed to teach you some basics about Fibonacci Price Theory (FPT) Analysis. I wanted to show you how I see the charts using FPT and why, sometimes, I might be seeing things differently than you do on the charts. In my world, there are simple constructs that are evident on every chart. Supply & Demand zones, trending/flagging, and most importantly Fibonacci Price Theory constructs. Fibonacci Price Theory is the basis of all my analysis. It is the ground-level structure I look for in price on all charts. Then, I move to more advanced indicators and other analysis types to develop a Success/Failure outcome (trend/trade expectation). What I do is not hard to understand - it just takes practice. Fibonacci & Gann techniques are infinitely adaptable to any type of price action. I use another technique I call the Tesla Price Amplitude Arcs which often help me identify where/when price events may happen - but that is for another video (maybe). Ultimately, it comes down to understanding the structure and intent of price action (either success or failure) and how to position your trades for that success or failure of any price event. There are really two types of traders: trend traders and counter-trend traders. Trend traders try to catch the explosive price moves as trend events. Counter-trend traders try to catch major reversal levels in price and try to profit from counter-trend price moves (reversals/reversions). Using FPT, you can learn to execute both type of trading styles and improve your ability to see the market trends/setups more clearly. I hope this video helps you learn to become a better trader and helps you understand my Plan Your Trade videos more clearly. At least you'll be able to understand how I see charts and what drives much of my thinking related to chart.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 9-18 : Gap Potential & Fed DayThis video pretty much covers everything I've been telling all of you over the past 5+ days. Yes, I'm planning on waiting out the consolidation/early trading today and waiting through the Fed decision. There is no reason to jump in front of a moving train attempting to change its direction or speed. You just get run over and beat up. So, I'm going to take a break this morning, watching the markets and waiting for the Fed rate decision. While I did look at some data points this morning, the one thing that caught my attention was the Mortgage Refinance Index. That index has jumped more than 45% over the past 12-16+ months while mortgage rates are still above 6%. I believe this is an indication that ARM borrowers are under some pressure now (after roughly 36 months) to refinance and are dealing with higher rates. 2024-3 = 2021. Those hot to buy anything after the COVID pandemic may have signed into ARM loans with a 3-year rate guarantee - which may now be rolling into fully adjustable rate loans. That would push the refinance index higher as these homeowners attempt to wiggle their way into something more realistic than the 6.5 to 7.5% rates on their ARMs now. In my opinion, this is the only thing that may prompt the Fed to lower rates a bit - the pressure on a small segment of home owners in ARM loans that need some relief. We'll just have to wait and see what happens today.

$SPY September 18, 2024AMEX:SPY September 18, 2024 15 Minutes AMEX:SPY managed to make an ATH at 566.57. Now for the rise 539.95 to 566.57 it is important to hold 560. Below that weakness can be seen for a target 554 +-1 levels. So shorting is not worth. If AMEX:SPY manages to hold 563-566 levels, we can see 574 +- as a target for the longs. A retracement is on cards due to oscillator divergence. or a sideways moment between 560-566 levels. On a daily level, if AMEX:SPY consolidated between 556-566 levels i expect 574 as initial target. Again. Not the time for shorts for me.

Elliott Wave View on S&P 500 ETF (SPY) New All-Time High SuggestShort term Elliott Wave view on S&P 500 ETF (SPY) suggests that cycle from 8.5.2024 low is unfolding as a 5 waves impulse. Up from 8.5.2024 low, wave (1) ended at 564.2 and pullback in wave (2) ended at 539.44. The ETF has extended to new all-time high in wave (3). The internal subdivision of wave (3) takes the form of another 5 waves in lesser degree. Up from wave (2), wave ((i)) ended at 549.34 and dips in wave ((ii)) ended at 539.96. Wave ((iii)) higher ended at 556.85 and pullback in wave ((iv)) ended at 552.74. Final leg wave ((v)) ended at 566.58 which completed wave 1 in higher degree. Pullback in wave 2 is in progress to correct cycle from 9.7.2024 low with internal subdivision as a zigzag Elliott Wave structure. Down from wave 1, wave ((a)) ended at 560.79. Expect wave ((b)) to fail below 566.58 for another leg lower in wave ((c)) to complete wave 2. Afterwards, the ETF should then resume higher. Near term, as far as pivot at 537.86 low stays intact, expect pullback to find buyers in 3, 7, or 11 swing for further upside.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Update For 9-17: Excess Phase Peak BreakThis short video explains why it is so important to often wait for the markets to show you what it really wants to do - not trying to force a trade when the markets are undecided. Many traders are likely short right now - expecting a top to setup in the markets ahead of the Fed rate decision. My research suggests a top would likely form because of the dual Excess Phase Peak patterns on the charts as well. But, the RSP rally to new ATHs over the past 3+ days gave me reason to PAUSE and really consider the potential that price may rally and break away from the Excess Phase Peak setups. Well, today we have a new ATH in the SPY. We need to wait till the end of the day to see if price gets rejected at these new ATH levels - but this is a BREAK of the Excess Phase Peak pattern. Over the past 10+ days, I've continued to share why these Excess Phase Peak patterns are one of the core constructs of price action. They happen all the time (probably 60% of all trading through any year is an Excess Phase Peak pattern). There are five constructs to the pattern. They can be Bullish or Bearish in structure. At any time after the initial PEAK/TROUGH is set, they can INVALIDATE. So, we have to stay keenly aware of when/how they can invalidate. This video will show you multiple examples of Excess Phase Peak patterns and how to use them. Get ready, we may be at the start of a moderate melt-up for the SPY targeting 585-595 or higher.
