SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 4-15 : BLANK pattern day.As I stated in this video, last night I looked through the data and could not find any reference for this pattern going back more than 11 years. Same thing for tomorrow's pattern. That means these are very RARE pattern setups and we'll have to watch to see how price action plays out today. If there were no reference points over 11+ years of Daily price data (more than 2500 Daily Price Bars), then this is something very unique. I believe today will act like a Reversal Bar. Potentially rallying off a lower opening price and setting up a type of Gap Lower Rally type of pattern - but that is just a guess. At this point, trade smaller quantities until we see how price reacts this morning. Gold and Silver make a BIG MOVE overnight - breaking above the $3300/$33 levels I suggested were critical psychological levels. This is an INCREDIBLE rally in metals (thanks, China). At this point, if you were long metals like I was, you can thank me all you want. Be aware that metals will likely pause a bit above this psychological level, then start to move higher again. The next big target is $3600-$3750 for Gold. Bitcoin is doing exactly what I stated it would do - rolling into a top as demand for BTCUSD wanes. I believe the next low for BTCUSD will be closer to $60k-$63k. Pay attention. Going to be a good day for everyone holding Gold/Silver/Miners CALLS (like I kept suggesting).

SPY Weekly Options Trade Plan 2025-04-15AMEX:SPY SPY Weekly Analysis Summary (2025-04-15) Below is an integrated view of the models’ findings: ───────────────────────────── SUMMARY OF MODEL KEY POINTS • Grok/xAI noted that on very short timeframes the price is a bit below key 5‑minute EMAs and near lower Bollinger Bands—with RSI and MACD giving mixed signals—but on the daily chart some bullish features (price above the 10‑EMA, a slight MACD bullish grace, and a max pain level at $549) hint at a potential mean reversion. Their “if forced” ramp suggested a call at the $549 strike, though overall confidence was low (≈55%). • Gemini/Google’s report highlighted conflicting technical readings – the M5 setup looked bearish while the daily chart showed a little bullishness. Their integration of high but falling VIX and options open‑interest levels led to an overall neutral/unclear reading. Their recommendation was to refrain from entering a directional trade at open. • Llama/Meta leaned toward a moderately bearish reading based on the short‐term indicators (price below key EMAs, bearish MACD on both charts) despite some daily support. They specifically recommended buying the $537 put option (even though the premium is higher than the “ideal” $0.30–$0.60 range) with a target profit roughly 50% above the cost and a stop when SPY breaches an upper resistance level—backed by a 70% confidence level. • DeepSeek also synthesized mixed timeframes – pointing out that while the market holds some daily support, the intraday picture is muddled by technical conflict, expensive premium costs for the moves required, and time decay factors. Their view was to wait rather than initiate a new position. ───────────────────────────── 2. AREAS OF AGREEMENT AND DISAGREEMENT • Agreement: All reports recognize that SPY (about $537.61) is trading near key short‑term support levels with significant options OI clustering. The falling VIX is universally noted as a positive sign for reducing fear even though overall volatility remains high. • Disagreement:  – Grok’s report and to some extent the daily charts hint at a slight bias to the upside (supported by max pain at $549), suggesting a potential call wing trade.  – In contrast, Llama/Meta’s analysis and the very short‐term indicators (M5, lower Bollinger band, bearish MACD) point toward a bearish bias, recommending a put trade.  – Both Gemini/Google and DeepSeek, however, find the technical signals too mixed to have high confidence in initiating any naked single‑leg weekly option trade at open. ───────────────────────────── 3. CLEAR CONCLUSION • Overall Market Direction Consensus:  The models collectively paint a picture of uncertainty. There is no clear, high‑conviction directional bias at the open. The short‑term (intraday) technicals lean bearish or at best neutral, while the daily chart and max pain argument hint at a potential slight mean reversion. Given these conflicting signals, the overall market direction remains neutral/unclear. • Recommended Trade:  Based on the clash in opinions—only one model (Llama/Meta) would go short (with puts) while two models (Grok/xAI and Llama/Meta) suggest if forced a trade—and given that the majority (Gemini/Google and DeepSeek) advise against trading in the current conditions, the consensus is not to enter a new weekly options position at the market open. – Strategy: Single‐leg, naked options (calls or puts)  – Expiration: Weekly options only (expiry April 17, 2025)  – Premium: Trading ideal premium range is $0.30–$0.60, but neither candidate in the call nor put space meets all our criteria with high conviction  – Entry Timing: At open would be the plan if a trade were to be placed  – Confidence: Overall confidence in any trade is low (<60%) • Key Risks and Considerations:  – The short‑term technical indicators (lower EMAs, bearish M5 MACD, tight Bollinger bands) could trigger a whipsaw if SPY moves sideways or reverses abruptly.  – The high but falling VIX signals that although volatility is subsiding, levels remain elevated.  – Time decay (theta) on weekly options is significant at the open, and the probability of a strong directional move is diminished without further confirmation during the session.  – Conflicting signals between daily trend (some bullish pointers) and intraday behavior reduce the reliability of a directional play. ───────────────────────────── 4. FINAL RECOMMENDATION Given the model consensus with mixed and conflicting signals, the recommendation is to NOT trade weekly SPY options at market open today. ───────────────────────────── TRADE_DETAILS (JSON Format) { "instrument": null, "direction": null, "strike": null, "expiry": null, "confidence": null, "profit_target": null, "stop_loss": null, "size": null, "entry_price": null, "entry_timing": null } Disclaimer: This newsletter is not trading or investment advice but for general informational purposes only.

SPY Hits Critical Gamma Level at 533 – Breakdown or Bounce? Market Awaits Trigger 🎯 🔮 GEX (Gamma Exposure) – Options Sentiment Analysis 🔥 Gamma Hotspot at 533 – Dealers in Trouble Below * SPY is sitting right on the highest negative NET GEX zone at 533.57, indicating heavy dealer long gamma exposure. * If price holds above, dealers may stabilize the market — but if 533 breaks, the path toward 530 and possibly 519.92 opens quickly due to forced hedging. 📉 Call Walls Block the Path Above * CALL resistance stacks from 536–538–540, with a gamma ceiling forming around 538, where net positive GEX peaks. * Above that, 544–545 is a tough zone to reclaim short term unless a macro tailwind hits. 📊 Options Sentiment Snapshot: * IVR: 44.2 → Volatility expectations are moderate but stable. * IVx avg: 29.7, dropping –16.08%, suggesting traders are defensively positioned with volatility being sold. * PUTs 96.8% → This is extreme — a highly bearish options environment, making SPY susceptible to gamma-induced plunges if price cracks lower. 🎯 GEX Flow Outlook: * Below 533: Fast move to 530, then potential gamma landslide toward 519.92 and beyond. * Above 536: Bulls need to reclaim VWAP and move toward 538+ to flip gamma positioning and trap short hedgers. 🕰️ 1-Hour Technical Analysis Trend: * SPY broke down from a rising wedge and lost EMA/VWAP support on accelerating volume. * Price is hugging the lower channel support — breakdown is in play unless a fast reversal occurs. MACD: * Weakening with a bearish crossover — confirms downward momentum building. RSI: * Falling under 40 with no bullish divergence — sellers still in control. Key Levels: * Support: 533.5 → 530 → 519.92 → 485.26 * Resistance: 536 → 538 → 544.62 🧠 Final Thoughts: SPY is teetering at a gamma tipping point. With over 96% of flow favoring PUTs, dealers are in a short gamma setup — and price under 533 risks triggering a cascade toward 530 or even 520 if broader indices follow. However, if bulls can reclaim VWAP and 536+, a reversal squeeze could target 538 or higher. Stay nimble — this is a GEX-powered market waiting for its next catalyst.

SPY: 485 remains the line between correction and collapseS&P 500's bearish trend that began in February 2025 has ended following a strong 14% rebound from a key level that previously triggered the last sharp down move. This does not mean the market is immune to further downside, but if one still maintains a bearish view, it is important to note that breaking below 485 would likely mark the beginning of a major bear market and the end of the long-term uptrend that started in 2009. Of course, no one wishes for that outcome.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 4-15 : Base Rally PatternToday's pattern suggests the SPY/QQQ have been busy forming a BASE and may transition into a moderate rally mode. I believe this move will prompt the SPY to move above the $550 level, potentially targeting $555-565 over the next 48 hours. This upward move could be related to news or Q1:2025 earnings. I don't believe the markets really want to move downward at this time, although I do believe the markets will move into a topping pattern by the end of this week. Gold and Silver are moving into BLANK pattern day, today. Given the fact that we are between rally patterns and the metals charts show a very clear FLAGGING formation (watch my video), I believe we are moving into a FLAG APEX that will prompt a move above $3300 (for Gold) and $33 (for Silver). It's just a matter of time. BTCUSD is still struggling in the Consolidation phase. As I keep suggesting, I believe the next move for Bitcoin is to the downside. But, until we break this consolidation phase, price will continue to roll around within the consolidation range. Remember, we are going to be moving back to more normal volatility. So you need to understand these huge daily ranges are going to vanish over the next 3-5+ days. Volatility will likely move back to the 1% to 2.5% range very quickly.

SPY Approaching Major Resistance Zone SPY has rallied sharply from its recent low, but it's now pressing into a critical resistance zone. Price is currently sitting just below a major unfilled gap between $539.54 and $548.94. Until this gap is filled and the market closes decisively above it, the broader downtrend remains intact and risk of a reversal is elevated. Current Price Action: SPY has reclaimed $535.29, a short-term support that must hold if bulls are to maintain momentum. Price is hesitating under the gap, a common reaction area where sellers often defend. Moving averages are turning upward, indicating short-term strength, but we’re still below key longer-term resistance zones and the 200 EMA (not shown). Downside Risk Levels If Rejected: $489.73 – minor horizontal support $481.80 – a prior low and key reference point for buyers $474.14 – structural support area from prior consolidation Extended targets: $454.29 and $426.80 if broader weakness resumes Analysis : This area between $539–$549 is the battleground. If SPY can fill the gap and close above $549 with follow-through, that would be the first meaningful technical confirmation of a potential trend reversal. However, failure to clear this level could open the door for a larger pullback. Watch price action and volume closely — a rejection here would indicate that sellers are still in control, at least in the medium term. As always, be patient and let the chart confirm the direction. For now, SPY is at a decision point — one that will likely dictate the next leg in this market.

$SPY - Recap of April 14 2025 Today, Monday April 14th we opened with a gap UP to the 30min 200MA and we also gapped right to the top of the bear gap (always considered resistance and strengthened by the downward momentum of the 30min 200. We did see resistance with those combined bearish levels and we brought is back down to the middle, closed the gap from open and took it back to the 30min 200MA and got pushed back at close. This chart setup was bearish today - even though we closed green - how? The 30in 200MA pointing down. The bear gap under that. And the 35EMA trading Under the 30min 200MA. It was an easy trading day and just looking at the momentum you could feel that price was going to stay in the center of the implied move. At least I mentioned that in last night’s video. Excellent day. How did you guys do??

S&P 500 Technical Analysis: Z-Score HMA Indicator OutlookOutside of the obvious news on Tarriffs, let's just focus on technicals for a moment: In case you’re in a hurry: My HMA Z-Score Probability Indicator is currently signaling overbought conditions. The Z-Score has moved into the upper green zone, a level where reversals have historically occurred. Hull Moving Average (HMA) remains upward for now, but is approaching a potential flattening point. Price continues to respect a descending trendline, indicating resistance remains intact. Unless the trendline is broken with conviction, the probability favors a bearish reversion in SPY. HMA Z-Score Indicator Forecast: SPY Nearing Reversion Risk This week, my HMA Z-Score Probability Indicator is signaling a statistically significant overbought condition in SPY. In case you are unfamiliar, this tool blends the statistical power of the Z-Score with the responsiveness of the Hull Moving Average to give us high-probability momentum and mean reversion setups. Let’s break down what it’s showing right now and why a pullback may be imminent. Z-Score in the Green: What That Means The Z-Score component of my indicator is now in the upper green zone, which I’ve defined as statistically overbought territory. This isn’t arbitrary, it's based on historical distribution thresholds that flag when price has moved too far, too fast from its average. In past instances when the Z-Score has reached these levels, the market has often reverted back toward the mean. It's not guaranteed, of course but the odds shift. This is one of the key features of my indicator: identifying these moments where the risk/reward tilts away from chasing price and toward anticipating a reversion. HMA as a Momentum Filter The Hull Moving Average (HMA) provides the trend context in this setup. Right now, the HMA is still pointing upward, but it’s starting to show early signs of rounding off. If it begins to flatten or turn downward while the Z-Score remains elevated, that would act as a confirmation of a momentum shift and strengthen the case for a pullback. The HMA has consistently helped filter out false Z-Score signals when the trend is strong. But when both tools start aligning, that's when I pay closer attention. Descending Trendline Holding as Resistance On the chart, I’ve drawn a descending trendline connecting recent swing highs. So far, price has failed to break through this line, continuing a pattern of lower highs. As long as price respects that line, it suggests sellers are still in control of the short-term structure. If SPY gets rejected again here, particularly while the Z-Score is elevated, the probability of a downside move increases significantly. Bearish Bias: What the Data Suggests The core logic behind this setup is based on reversion to the mean. When price extends beyond typical volatility bands (as measured by the Z-Score) and momentum stalls (as reflected by the HMA), it often precedes a return to more normalized levels. Right now, we have: A Z-Score reading in overbought territory, A potentially topping HMA, Resistance still holding at the descending trendline. That’s a confluence of signals that, in my indicator's design, suggests a bearish reversion is more likely than a continuation. What I’m Watching This Week To confirm the setup, I’ll be watching for: HMA flattening or beginning to roll over, Break of recent short-term support to trigger downside momentum. If these conditions start stacking up, the short bias becomes actionable. If instead we see a breakout above the trendline with conviction and volume, I’ll re-evaluate because no indicator is bigger than price. The HMA Z-Score Probability Indicator is designed to anticipate high-probability turning points, and right now, it's signaling elevated risk for a short-term reversal in SPY. As always, these are probabilities, not certainties.
