$SPYWe will see a continuation from Fridays bullish reversal.
When the market opens we may see a Liquidity grab around $595 before retesting the selloff from $606.
If we fail to bounce off $595 we may see a retracement down towards $590 Order Block.
Overall I believe we will continue moving up towards the $606 price target.
SPY trade ideas
SPY Technical Analysis for Tomorrow - Dec. 231. Key Levels
* Resistance Levels:
* $594.00: Immediate resistance level based on recent price action.
* $600.00: Psychological resistance and critical test zone.
* $608.50: Longer-term resistance from prior highs.
* Support Levels:
* $588.00: Current consolidation support zone.
* $582.30: Intermediate support level based on prior rejections.
* $577.74: Major structural low and critical support from the recent bounce.
Observations and Price Action
1. Trend:
* SPY bounced strongly from $577.74, creating a higher low, indicating short-term bullish momentum.
* Price is consolidating under $594.00, which could act as a key pivot point for the next move.
2. Stochastic RSI:
* The Stochastic RSI is entering overbought territory, suggesting potential slowing momentum or a pullback before another leg up.
3. Volume:
* The recent move off $577.74 was accompanied by rising volume, signaling buying interest at key support.
My Thoughts on SPYโs Direction
* Bullish Bias: SPY is likely to retest $594.00 and potentially break higher toward $600.00 if buying momentum continues.
* Bearish Risks: If $594.00 holds as resistance, a pullback to $588.00 or even $582.30 could occur.
I lean slightly bullish, but a breakout above $594.00 is essential for further upside. Watch for rejection signals if SPY struggles to clear this level.
Trade Scenarios
Bullish Scenario:
* Entry: On a breakout above $594.00 with strong volume.
* Targets:
* Short-Term: $600.00.
* Extended: $608.50.
* Stop-Loss: Below $592.00 to minimize risk.
Bearish Scenario:
* Entry: On rejection at $594.00 or breakdown below $588.00.
* Targets:
* Short-Term: $582.30.
* Extended: $577.74.
* Stop-Loss: Above $595.00 for rejection trades or $589.50 for breakdown trades.
Key Focus Areas
* $594.00 Resistance: Watch for a breakout or rejection.
* Volume Confirmation: Ensure volume aligns with the direction of the move.
* Momentum Shift: Monitor the Stochastic RSI for signs of a reversal or continuation.
Conclusion
SPY is consolidating near a critical resistance level at $594.00. A breakout would open the door to $600.00, while rejection could lead to a pullback toward $588.00 or lower. The direction tomorrow will largely depend on how SPY reacts to the $594.00 level.

SPY - Red Alert Major Sell SignalStocks continue to rise in thin trading and some continue to expect higher highs. When looking at indices that are not top-loaded with the AI Tech Giants, they are clearly in decline. And now, my long-time, most favorite signal is starting to flash. The Failed Three Week test of the high. Should SPY close below 607.81 on Friday, This intermediate sell signal will kick in.
On an Elliott Wave perspective, many have been calling tops for more than a year now yet the market continued to extend and extend and extend. And many expect the good times to keep rolling on as the incoming President views stock market prices as a reflection of his success. Yet one can't ignore rising interest rates, that will continue extending. As such, my two main trades for 2025 are rising rates and falling stocks. Happy New Year.
$SPY December 26, 2024AMEX:SPY December 26, 2024
15 Minutes.
I had expected 200 averages in 15 minutes to be resisted. It broke and held on to that for more than 2 hours on the 24th of December.
For the rise 592.25 to 601.34 it is important to hold 597 levels for uptrend to continue. It is also 21 averages in 15 minutes.
For the larger rise 580.91 to 601.34 holding 593-594 is crucial to hold.
Above 603 I expect a 3 to 5 $ move which was resisted earlier before the fall.
At the moment I will sell only below 588 for good 10$ move. 575-578 is a crucial number to hold on downside.
In daily uptrend is intact.
$SPY Trend Analysis DarkPoolsChart Overview:
Instrument: SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)
Timeframe: 4-hour chart
Indicators on Chart:
Moving Averages: Two moving averages, possibly the 8 EMA and 21 EMA, are visible and used for trend analysis.
Dark Pool Levels: Represented by white dashed lines.
Fibonacci Extensions: Horizontal levels plotted as profit targets.
Trendlines:
Yellow Lines: Represent a rising channel encompassing long-term price movement.
Red and Green Lines: Form a triangle pattern suggesting potential price breakout.
Volume Indicators: (Not directly visible, but implied in analysis as crucial.)
Key Observations:
Dark Pool Levels:
A level around 605 (BA SW 605).
Another level at 586.16 (BB SW 585). These levels often indicate significant institutional trading activity and are likely areas of support/resistance.
Triangle Breakout:
Price has broken out of a triangle pattern (green and red lines), indicating bullish momentum.
The breakout occurred after a strong push above the 597.12 - 596.11 zone, confirmed by the candle close.
Trend:
The price is trading above both EMAs, which signals bullish momentum.
The broader channel suggests an upward trend with potential consolidation at the top.
Targets:
Fibonacci-based profit targets are clearly defined at:
607.50
610.00
612.50
615.00
The first target (607.50) aligns with a critical resistance zone, suggesting potential short-term profit-taking.
Support Zones:
The previous triangle breakout zone (around 596.11) serves as a strong support.
The lower dark pool level (586.16) provides additional safety if the price retraces significantly.
Trade Idea:
Entry:
If not already entered, consider a pullback entry near the 597-596 range, which aligns with the EMAs and breakout level.
Profit Targets:
607.50: Partial profit-taking area; first resistance.
610.00: Secondary target if bullish momentum sustains.
612.50: High-probability target if momentum accelerates.
615.00: Final target aligning with the Fibonacci extension.
Stop Loss:
Close below 596: Invalidates the bullish triangle breakout.
Final Stop: Close below 586.16 (dark pool support), marking a shift to bearish momentum.
Risk Management:
Position size based on risk tolerance.
Risk-to-reward ratio should ideally exceed 1:3, considering a stop at 596 and initial target at 607.50.
Additional Notes:
Volume Confirmation: Ensure the breakout is supported by a volume surge to validate institutional involvement.
Dark Pool Activity: Watch for price action near 605 (BA SW) as it could act as temporary resistance.
Spy to 612Thereโs really not much left to say. Spy will finish retracing the feds rate decision and blast off to new highs. Big names are either regaining their ground ( NASDAQ:TSLA , NASDAQ:MSFT ) or leading the way ( NASDAQ:AAPL , NASDAQ:NVDA ).
Anyone looking to get short or calling for a dump are people who were calling for 550 and are now 50 points underwater๐ซก
I wouldnโt listen to someone who looks at this chart and says โit has to go downโ. Only people left calling for it to go down are those Elliot Wave people and they change their thesis every 15 min candle ๐

2024 Santa Rally and More - Up/Down/SidewaysIt's that time of year again. The final trading weeks of 2024 and the technical "Santa Rally" (trading through Christmas and New Year's) is upon us.
Unfortunately the FED put a bit of a cap on the extremely optimistic and borderline euphoria that was bubbling over going into the FOMC Rate Decision.
100 bps of cuts, yet the US10Y (10 year yield) has virtually moved in the exact opposite direction. Inflation is now a concern and this is a big reason for the FED's "hawkish cut" in December. The market will have to figure out how 1-2 cuts in 2025 looks compared to 4-6 cuts that was anticipated.
I don't think the 1 day FED move is enough of a correction to justify loading up on longs, so I'm looking for 200 EMA tests and better prices all around. If I don't get them, I suppose I'll just wait longer :)
Happy Holidays to everyone
Thanks for watching!!!
$SPY Trade Analysis DarkPoolsThis chart appears to be analyzing the SPY ETF (S&P 500 ETF Trust) on a 30-minute timeframe, with various levels marked for support, resistance, trendlines, and potential targets. Hereโs a breakdown of the analysis based on what is visible in the chart:
Trend Analysis:
Downtrend Observed:
The red trendline indicates a clear lower highs (LH) pattern, suggesting a bearish structure.
The green trendline highlights a previous descending support line, which was broken, followed by a recovery.
Current Context:
SPY is below the red trendline, which is acting as resistance.
The price is hovering near the EMA cluster (moving averages such as 8 EMA and 21 EMA), indicating indecision or consolidation.
Key Levels:
Resistance Zones:
595.23 to 599.31: This range aligns with previous pivot points and overlaps with a lower high (LH), making it a significant resistance area.
604.37 (DP): A dark pool level from 12/18 indicates where institutional activity occurred. Breaking this level could signal bullish momentum.
Support Zones:
590.96 to 586.50: Price currently sits above this cluster, suggesting short-term support.
578.93 (90 SMA): The 90 SMA acts as a longer-term support level.
Potential Trade Ideas:
Bullish Scenario:
Entry: Above 595.23, ideally with a strong close above the red trendline.
Targets:
T1: 597.63
T2: 599.31
T3: 604.37
Stop Loss: Below 593.87, the most recent support level.
Bearish Scenario:
Entry: Below 586.50, confirming a breakdown below immediate support.
Targets:
T1: 585.00
T2: 580.00
T3: 578.93
Stop Loss: Above 588.00, invalidating the breakdown.
Indicators:
EMA Strategy: Watch for a cross of the shorter EMA (e.g., 8 EMA) below the longer EMA (e.g., 21 EMA) for bearish confirmation, or vice versa for bullish momentum.
Volume Confirmation: Increased volume at breakout levels strengthens the validity of the move.
Overall Outlook:
The current price action is consolidating between 595.23 (resistance) and 586.50 (support). This range-bound behavior may continue until a clear breakout or breakdown occurs.
A move above the red trend-line could suggest a bullish reversal, while a break below the lower support zone would confirm bearish continuation.
Why the 6:15 Candle is Key:
Liquidity Shift:
Around 6:15 a.m. EST, pre-market trading often experiences a shift in liquidity as larger institutional traders and automated systems begin positioning themselves ahead of the regular market open. This creates a noticeable increase in volume or volatility.
Reaction to Overnight News:
By this time, many traders have processed overnight news, including international market developments, economic data, or corporate announcements. The 6:15 candle often represents the marketโs collective sentiment to these inputs.
Early Dark Pool & Futures Activity:
Institutional players and hedge funds might act on dark pool or futures activity signals around this time. For instance, the SPY chart you provided shows interest in identifying areas that coincide with pre-market setups for further price movement.
Key Levels for the Day:
The high and low of the 6:15 candle in pre-market trading are frequently used by day traders as pivot points. These levels often act as intraday support or resistance, with price reacting around these zones during the regular trading session.
Interpreting the 6:15 Candle in Your Chart:
Looking at your chart:
The 6:15 candle seems to be sitting just below key resistance at 591.14.
This candleโs high and low can serve as short-term levels:
High Break: A break above the 6:15 high signals bullish momentum.
Low Break: A move below the 6:15 low indicates bearish pressure.
For SPY, this candle is important because it often sets the tone for the first trading hour of the day.
How to Use the 6:15 Candle:
Range Breakout Strategy:
Mark the high and low of the 6:15 candle.
Use these as breakout or breakdown levels for the regular session.
Pre-Market High/Low Alignment:
If the 6:15 candle aligns with pre-market highs or lows, it reinforces the importance of those levels.
Volume Confirmation:
Check if the 6:15 candle has significant volume compared to previous candles. A spike in volume confirms institutional interest.
EMA Relationship:
Notice if the 6:15 candle is above or below key moving averages like the 8 EMA or 15 EMA. This gives insight into short-term sentiment.
In Summary:
The 6:15 pre-market candle acts as a pivotal reference point:
High and low levels often dictate intraday trading strategies.
It reflects liquidity shifts, news reactions, and institutional activity.
Use it alongside volume, EMAs, and resistance/support zones for more accurate predictions.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 12-23: BreakAway PatternToday's pattern is a Break Away pattern.
I'm not expecting much to happen just before Christmas, but this is when surprises may happen.
If you have not already protected your capital - now is the time to do it (almost too late at this point).
You should be prepared for anything that happens and move into a position of safety related to the holidays.
Remember, the markets will always be here. Get through the holidays and get busy trying to enjoy your life.
I suspect the markets will stay very flat over the next 3 to 5+ days.

$SPY December 23,2024AMEX:SPY December 23,2024
15 Minutes
The gap down at open managed to retrace 61.8% of the fall 605.67 to 580.91
For me trend is down as below all moving averages.
For the rise 580.91 to 595.75 it is important to hold 587-588 levels today.
Base is under formation after the big fall.
I have no trade today.
12/22/24 Weekly Watchlist + NotesAMEX:SPY - Huge sell off across the board from FOMC news on Wednesday. SPY sold off down through previous Broadening Formation range reclaiming previous downside pivot just below 684. So with that in mind, we expand out of the BF below that pivotal low, or come back through range above it. With SPY currently setup to potentially go 3-2 daily, we look to see whether fridays high or low gets taken out. Being above the pivot at 684, we are looking to come back through that BF range and make new ATHs as of now. Of course this can all change depending on whether our W is green or red, but for now we are closer to making a daily HH than a LL. With Christmas being this week, the markets close 2 hours early on Tuesday, and re open on Thursday. Being a short week like this, we need to be extra cautious as there will be lower than normal volume, and simply less time for the weekly candle to form, so expectations on a large move this week as most seem to be predicting, may not happen for the prior reasons. Personally will not be trading Tuesday and possibly not at all this week if I don't see absolute A+ setups.
Watchlist:
Bullish:
NASDAQ:NVDA - Pot. 1-3-2U Daily to trigger failed 2D hammer week. Swept BF lows this past week. Looking to come back through range. This is a big name for the markets, so I expect that if the markets are recovering, this will lead the way or follow with it
NASDAQ:MU - 2-2U reversal potential daily to target gap fill from ER. We took out weekly BF mag on friday, hitting exhaustion levels after finally escaping the motherbar it was stuck in for the last 11 weeks. One side gets toasted, magnitude is hit for W and M. All the ingredients for a big recovery. Only issue is being stuck in last weeks range
NASDAQ:PLTR - potential 3-2D for a simultaneous weekly 2-1-2U trigger. Nuclear green on all TFs. Slight room to go to target ATH again, but mainly looking for the weekly inside up measured move, meaning if we go 2-1-2U, we can expect the same move up as we had in the week prior to last weeks inside bar week.
Cruise Lines: NYSE:CCL + NYSE:NCLH Weekly hammers. NYSE:RCL Not a clean weekly AS, but similar daily to other names in the industry.
Bearish:
NASDAQ:TSLA - 3-1 4Hr to trigger MoMo shooter Daily to trigger Shooter Weekly 2-2. Daily PMG to target from ATH Exhaustion. (Big green day for most names Friday, why was TSLA so bearish with such relative strength lately?)
NASDAQ:AVGO - Shooter 2U Day to trigger 2-2 shooter week. Huge gap up from earnings. Looking to attack the gap.
NYSE:KO - MoMo Shooter 2D day to trigger 2-1-2D week. Having issues making range lately, but daily BF is targeting lower still, and weekly 2-2d has yet to be negated. Inside week will confirm more downside to target our BF magnitudes on the D and W, or it will be negated by a 2U week. Simple plan here. Short under prev week low, exit if back above.
NYSE:UBER - MoMo shooter 2d Weekly to reconfirm M 2D and Q 2U going 3. Check Monthly for the BF. Wanna see continuation lower to Q mag at 54.84. No daily AS but 3-1 4HR. May be a slower mover on the list. Basing all my decisions on the weekly as the momo shooter should simply just trigger and work
