SPY drop, bounce, u-turnSPY trade idea 5:1 ratio
Short = 565
Stop = 570
Profit = 540
(SPY) S&P 500 index rapidly dropped in a week, then bounced in a V shape recovery for 2 weeks, now it could u-turn back down. SPY is back at it's resistance level of it's 2 year trend channel. There's not much upside left this week from the 560 area. However, it could temporarily false breakout. I'm posting this as a short because there's way more downside than upside potential for the next month. Since there has been steady momentum going up from Monday 8/5 bounce off 510 low, this short setup will probably take a few days. It's likely a catalyst related to newsworthy current events (Macroeconomic / Geopolitical) will u-turn the momentum around.
