SPY 15m Analysis: FVGs and Key Levels for Next MovesOverview
This idea focuses on the SPY 15-minute chart, highlighting key fair value gaps (FVGs) and critical support/resistance levels. The current price action shows potential for both bullish and bearish scenarios, contingent on price reactions at crucial levels.
Bearish Scenario
Key Level to Watch:
If SPY closes below 566.44, it signals further downside momentum. Traders should look for the formation of the next Bearish FVG to initiate short positions.
Projected Target:
First Target: 550–555 zone (likely demand zone or support area).
Downward momentum is supported by the recent sharp sell-off, indicating heavy selling pressure.
Invalidation:
A sustained move back above 588.85 will weaken bearish momentum.
Bullish Scenario
Key Level to Watch:
For any upward momentum, a Bullish FVG must form above the current price, likely in the 588.85–595.79 range.
Projected Target:
First Target: 595.79
Second Target: 600+, where stronger resistance may emerge.
Invalidation:
Failure to hold above 588.85 could result in further selling pressure.
Volume and Momentum Considerations
While individual candlestick volume isn't displayed, the rapid decline hints at increased selling pressure. Monitor volume closely during retests for confirmation of strength or weakness in price action.
Plan Your Trade:
Use clear invalidation levels to manage risk.
Wait for price confirmation (e.g., closing below 566.44 or a bullish FVG forming above 588.85).
Utilize stop-loss orders to safeguard against unexpected reversals.
Conclusion
This setup allows for flexibility, focusing on key zones and volume confirmation. The bias leans bearish, but a bullish retracement cannot be ruled out if price action shifts momentum. Keep an eye on FVG formations for entry signals.

* Volume: An extraordinary spike in sell-side volume highlights panic selling and a possible capitulation phase.
* Sentiment: Sentiment appears bearish in the short term, driven by macroeconomic fears.
Supply and Demand Zones
* Demand Zone: $577–$580 (critical for any potential bounce).

* Key Support:
* $580: Near-term support; failure to hold could test $572.

Scalping vs. Swing Outlook
* Scalping:

Actionable Suggestions
1. Short-Term Bullish:
* Entry: Near $580 support.
* Exit: Around $586–$588 resistance.
* Stop-Loss: Below $578.
2. Short-Term Bearish:
* Entry: On rejection at $590.
* Exit: Target $580 or lower.
* Stop-Loss: Above $592.
Conclusion
SPY's break of key support levels indicates a bearish short-term outlook. However, oversold conditions suggest a technical bounce could occur in the $577–$580 range. Monitor key levels and macro catalysts closely before positioning.

SPY to $585?: EOY Price TargetUsing the Magic Linear Regression Channel on TradingView.com we look at some possible scenarios for SPY price movement. A shorter term regression channel shows SPY at the top of the channel and rejecting it today - even with more buyers than sellers in the TradingView Volume Footprint chart view.
The bottom of the channel converges with last pivot low near $584. It could conceivable go lower, but with lower volume likely during the holiday season, it would seem less likely for it to make any more big moves barring some major unexpected event.

(GET READY) The expected move for FOMC in SPYThe expected move for FOMC in SPY
After making new all-time highs on Friday, December 6, we have been consolidating back to the 30 minute 200 moving average. You could see how we’ve been chopping around sideways along the 35 EMA back to the 30 minute 200 moving average. So we are just above that 30 minute 200 moving average yesterday we closed directly above it with the 35 EMA directly above that and so far this morning we are above those two levels. We are in that down gap from Monday, going into Tuesday so possible level of resistance around 607 and then we have the one hour 200 average at the very bottom of the implied move.
So the implied move is between 600 to 609 and on tomorrow’s contract for Thursday 599 to 610.
I’m taking a little short break from making videos because they are very time-consuming and in December in this month with everything going on I just don’t have time to make them, but I will be getting back to that in January and for now I’ll still be posting these still charts

SPY Technical Analysis (TA) and GEX Analysis for Dec. 181. Daily Chart (1D)
* Trend: SPY is trading within a well-established upward channel. The price recently hit resistance at the upper channel line (~609), suggesting overbought conditions.
* Support Levels:
* 590: Key short-term support, aligned with the lower EMA support.
* 577-571: Major support zone; a breakdown here signals a bearish shift.
* Resistance:
* 609-610: Upper trendline resistance. SPY has failed to hold above this range.
* Indicators:
* MACD: Bearish divergence forming as momentum weakens while price pushes higher.
* Volume: Strong volume uptick at recent highs, suggesting possible distribution.
Bias: The daily chart signals caution, with a potential pullback to 602-604 (middle channel) or further to 590.
2. Hourly Chart (1H)
* Price Action: SPY shows rejection from the upper resistance (~609) and is trending downward towards key intraday support at 602-603.
* Support/Resistance:
* Support: 602 (highest PUT Wall in GEX), 604 (confluence of EMA and PUT Wall).
* Resistance: 607-608 (CALL resistance).
* Indicators:
* MACD: Bearish crossover; momentum remains negative.
* Trendlines: SPY is testing lower channel support on this timeframe.
Bias: SPY is likely to remain range-bound between 603-607 for now. A break below 602 could accelerate downside pressure.
3. GEX Analysis
* Key GEX Levels:
* 607: CALL Resistance (1.25%). Likely an upper cap.
* 603: Highest negative NETGEX/PUT Support. This level is critical; breaking below it increases bearish momentum.
* 602: Second PUT Wall (-32.62%), significant downside target.
* Options Oscillator: Indicates PUT dominance with 56.9% Puts versus Calls.
* IVR (Implied Volatility Rank): 16.7 — IV remains low, suggesting minimal volatility expectation.
GEX Insight: The options market suggests 603 is the battleground. Bulls need to reclaim 607 to push higher, while bears will attempt to defend the PUT-heavy zones at 603-602.
Trade Outlook for SPY
* Bearish Setup: Look for rejection at 605-607. A breakdown below 603 can target 602, with potential downside extension to 600.
* Bullish Setup: A strong rebound off 603 with volume could signal a push back to test 607. Break above 608 confirms bullish continuation.
Conclusion
SPY remains at a critical juncture near upper resistance. Monitor 603 closely, as a break or bounce here will dictate short-term direction. Options GEX levels highlight a PUT-heavy market, favoring bearish pressure unless bulls reclaim higher ground.

Spy Short Well Well Guys, Yes I'm going to continue to go short especially this week with the big big decision of rate cuts Wednesday, if not this Friday or Monday 600 target I'm definitely out of the short position for now!! The New Narrative Trend by the way, is Insane how the results have been so far if you want more info content is out right now about it, generational wealth will be made!! And Yes you can still get in!!! Goodluck Traders and I will Follow Up With Spy on Tuesday
Spy under falls under 605 602 for sure that's when we should see blood in the streets
QQQ forget about it its A short 1st target $528
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 12-17: Momentum Rally PatternToday's Pattern suggests the SPY/QQQ will rally higher - possibly attempting to find a top.
What I find interesting is the big rally in the QQQ/Nasdaq yesterday. Possibly, the Momentum Rally phase hit the NQ yesterday.
Overall, I'm still looking for the markets to attempt to roll into a topping pattern. So, I'm staying very cautious of any big market moves right now.
Yes, if you look at the QQQ/NQ, it looks like the markets are in liftoff mode (bullish), but other data suggests the markets are actually weakening and pulling into a reversion phase.
Gold and Silver will likely find a base/bottom soon. I picked up some Call options on SILJ and GDX recently anticipating the potential rally move.
Bitcoin is well beyond a 100% measured move higher. Even though I believe Bitcoin can rally to 112k - 115k, I'm urging traders to stay cautious (still).
My data suggests the markets are weakening and possibly moving into a pullback/reversion phase.
Get some.

📜 $608 Call 12/31

Bias for Today: Short with Bearish FVGs or Flip Long on Short with Bearish FVGs or Flip Long entering Calls on the First Bullish Fair Value Gap.
AMEX:SPY "Today's market bias is to open with a short outlook. If bearish Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) start to form and price respects them, I’ll look to enter short positions targeting lower levels. However, if price bounces off these zones and a bullish FVG forms, I will shift focus to initiate long positions on the first bullish FVG that sets up cleanly. Watching for clear confirmations and respecting key price action levels will be critical. Let’s stay adaptive to what the market gives us!"
