S&P Soars on Election Results in a Stunning RallyLast week's market movements provided a strong example of how impactful certain events can be on sentiment and momentum. In the last market recap, I highlighted uptrend continuation as the most likely scenario. However, at the start of the week, there was absolutely nothing on the chart suggesting a V-shape pivot. Week started on a weak note, but Tuesday marked a shift, as buying interest began to surface, quickly escalating into a stunning overnight gap once preliminary election results emerged. Essentially, the election results had a similar impact on the market as an earnings report can have on a company's stock price. This influx of optimism solidified bulls' control over the market, reinforcing a strong weekly uptrend. The buying wasn’t limited to a few sectors; instead, it was widespread, touching every major sector by the week’s end. Such broad-based buying underscores that the rally is not sector-specific but part of a larger, systemic movement. While we’re seeing robust upward momentum, it’s worth noting that both weekly and daily RSI levels are approaching overbought territory. However, as often observed in strong uptrends, prices can comfortably persist in the overbought zone. With no clear resistance above, I would strongly discourage trying to catch the top. Important levels to watch include 585 (VAH) , which is key in the event of a potential retest of the last consolidation zone, and 568 (major weekly low) , which buyers must protect to maintain control. P.S. If you missed this insane rally, don’t blame yourself too much. Had the election outcome been different, it’s easy to imagine the market would have plunged just as dramatically. So holding short-term position was similar to trading company earnings, which is, in a way, a form of gambling.

SPY Momentum Push: Key Levels for Scalping & Intraday TradingSPY is showing strong bullish momentum on the 1-hour chart, with a significant rally and potential resistance forming near the $600 psychological level. The trend remains upward, but overbought conditions may lead to a brief consolidation or pullback. Price Action Analysis: Trend and Momentum: SPY has been trending upward with a consistent series of higher highs and higher lows, maintaining support above the 21 EMA. The current price is hovering just below $598-$600, a key resistance zone. A breakout here could lead to a test of all-time highs near $610. Support and Resistance Levels: Immediate Resistance: $598-$600. A decisive breakout above could trigger more buying, targeting the next resistance at $605-$610. Support Levels: First support at $583.27 aligns with previous consolidation zones. Secondary support around $579.47, where the 50 EMA is likely to provide additional backing. Key level to watch below is $567.89, acting as a strong demand zone if a deeper pullback occurs. Volume and MACD Analysis: Volume has been declining slightly as the price climbs, indicating a need for caution if a breakout above $600 does not come with increased volume. MACD is showing signs of flattening, suggesting potential divergence, which could hint at a slowing momentum. Scalping Opportunities: Long Scalp Entry: Consider entering above $598 with a tight stop at $596, aiming for a breakout scalp targeting $605-$610. Short Scalp Entry: If SPY fails to break $600 convincingly, a short scalp entry at $598 could target the $583 support level. Swing Trade Ideas: A strong breakout above $600 with volume could be a good swing entry, aiming for a move toward the $610 level. If SPY fails to hold above $583, a bearish swing trade setup targeting $567-$568 support is a potential play. Disclaimer: This analysis is for educational purposes only and not financial advice.

So, what happens next? I am not sure if everyone is wondering the same as me, but after the election results and seeing the PA reaction, I wondered “So…. What now?”. A challenging and interesting question that I don’t think I or anyone can answer with the upmost confidence. But I wanted to take the time to write out a post that combines some statistics, a recap of my YTD ideas on SPY and where we are now, and what the future could look like. I also hope to provide some perspective into the PA. I know for many of you, trading is new and a new exposure. For me, who has been trading since 2018, this year has felt like the most bullish year I have ever traded. But when I look at the objective data, it actually spells a different story. So make yourself comfortable, its probably going to be a long post! Forging into another era of Trump I will save any political opinions for elsewhere. But its interesting that Trump has been re-elected as my nascence in trading arrived under the Trump’s presidency. And interestingly enough, my indoctrination into trading a Trump market was trading a bear market! I started trading during the 2018 bear correction when the market saw an initial flash crash that was pretty quick. It rallied back up to make another ATH and then did a longer bear correction where it actually corrected below the 500 day mean: As well, this was a mean reversion on the log linear scale: As a personal anecdote, I am still very much a permabear, despite always shilling long more or less in the current climate, and I feel like this permabear mentality arrived from the first market I traded being a bear market. From 2016 to 2020, the market had about 4 crashes, 1 bear market/correction and the rest was all bull market. No real difference from any other 4 year period. The only major difference during 2016 – 2020 period were the crashes were a bit shallower than other crashes traditionally, with the average being about 11% vs overall average being about 13% for SPY’s nascence. What this means going forward? We will likely see a few crashes and at least one bear correction in the coming years. However, perhaps the extent of the crashes and corrections will be muted, if, under the new presidency, USA is able to raise its GDP and boost economic production, which happened during the 2016 – 2020 term. What about the Statistics? Taking fundamentals and politics out of the equation and simply looking at what the market can tell us about itself, we can see some other interesting tidbits. Either before continuing or after reading, I suggest you check out a previous post I did about the outlook for the S&P based on historical behaviour, it turned out to be spot on: Let’s look at standardized returns on SPY: SPY’s current annual return is 0.27. We are not, by any stretch of the imagination, at historically high return levels. But, close.. ish. As you can see from the information in the chart above, the historically high return happened during the tech bubble and was 0.38, or 38%. SPY currently rests at 27%. If we take the average returns in general, no filtering for bearish or bullish years, we get 0.10 (rounded), or 10%. The average return of only bullish years is 18%. If SPY were to close at the average this year, we would see SPY retrace back to 557. The median is 19%, which would be a retrace to 561. Other Statistics applicable One thing that I have used a bit this year is a Monte Carlo simulation. Monte Carlo simulations take the normal distribution and randomly assign values from the normal distribution over x number of simulations. The simulation I have used consists of 200 simulations, using 2023 data, and plotting the average of the central tendencies: If we zoom in a bit closer, we can see where the simulations all agree of dips (red) and rallies (green): If we want to take the simulation in totality, it shows that SPY could, theoretically, see a high this year of 621 to 650: If you remember my earlier post, the annual ARIMA for SPY put the 80% confidence level at 591, and the 95% confidence level at 621. So 621 could indeed be a target observed into EOY. Probability and more probability! Let’s talk about probability for a second. To ascertain a more accurate assessment of probability, I am going to use data for SPX. Keep in mind, SPX and SPY track the same thing, so the returns will be identical. Because we are standardizing returns, they will also be the same value. Just to put your mind at ease, SPY’s approximate returns YTD are: 0.2634936. SPX’s are 0.2669222. The difference is statistically insignificant. So using SPX data, which we have since 1878 ish, let’s calculate the probability of closing at or above where we are now (>= 26%). The probability of SPX closing with 26% returns is 15%.The probability of SPX closing at 18% is around 26%. What this means is, we can’t say that it is likely that SPY will maintain these levels into EOY. Its not impossible, 15% probability is actually pretty big, a bit bigger than I expected. But the odds favour more a more reasonable close in the 18% area. If we want to take it a step further, and calculate what is the probability that SPX/SPY closes on a High. The probability that SPX will close on a high is 16%. Again, I am a little shook by this high percent! But obviously its not as likely as if it were to be 50% or 80%. Forecasts Don’t worry, we are nearing the end of this post. If you are reading to this point, thanks! I appreciate your interest in my random tangents of applying stats to markets! I want to briefly touch on Forecasts and outlooks. The market is naturally bullish. The U.S. has a new president that tends to have an emphasis on a strong economy. What is the most likely forecast? This is a complex question. I can accomplish a general forecast through using algorithms, but it doesn’t really take into account the economic influence that may be at play if we do see a strong economy into 2025. Remember I indicated that during 2016 – 2020, we did have crashes and bear market corrections, but they were shallower than average, likely mitigated by the strong economic policy during that presidency. Using a basic, machine learning algorithm to forecast the end result. So what I am going to do is use SPX again, because again more history, and run a forecast based on this period here: And I am forecasting it over the next 252 days, or 1 trading year from Friday (November 8th, 2024). The result actually puts us back into 2022, with this being the scaled plot of the forecast: And lastly, Targets! So, let’s quickly talk targets. Remember, our ARIMA 95% level on the year is 621. That means, 95% of closes should fall below 621. In addition, we also have a high probability modelled target at 564. This is hit > 85% of the time. And lastly, based on a seasonality assessment, our most similar year is 2021. This puts our scaled annual high at approximately 601. The targets we should absolutely see into EOY are: 564 and 601. The sequence of events remain up for debate. Conclusion: So, this is a long post, let me just give you the cliff notes of what to take away from it: Cap on the year should be 621. Retracement target should be around 564. High of the year should be around 601. There is about a 15% chance we close the year at this position or higher. There is about a 26% chance we close below this level but at or above 557. Overall assessment reveals a possible correction/crash. Its unlikely we see much lower than 564, even getting to 564 seems rather impossible at this point, but crashes come swift and unexpected I will be honest, I am not sure we see too much downside before EOY. The market is on a cocaine fueled rocket that shows no signs of slowing. I “feel” that its just going to go up until there is a reality check into the following year. But this is not based on the objective data, just my own “feelings” which are not all that reliable, haha. That’s it everyone! Thanks for reading, safe trades and happy rest of the trading year!

Hey SPYLOVERS ! Enjoy the Bull Ride !!!! Election Week and Interest Rate Cuts Did Not Disappoint Us at All The truth is, it was a very difficult week to predict price movements. However, out of the two possible scenarios I shared last week, Scenario #1 was the winner, and it was the one I had the most confidence in! At this moment, the price is in "no man's land," meaning there is no historical price data on the chart where we can find a level for the price to hold or replicate its movement. In this case, I believe that, from here on, the price will move based on upcoming economic news or as we approach the date when President-elect Donald Trump will officially become the President of the United States (POTUS). Let's enjoy this bull run that is happening—these are important times for the country, and we need to take advantage of those swings! Best regards, and thank you for supporting my analysis. See you next week!

S&P 500 Market Update + Trade Idea and process AMEX:SPY S&P 500 Review I would like to start off by saying my previous post from October 24 outlined this correction almost to the exact T. From $585 to 565. That is a 20 point move. I say this not in arrogance or self conceit but to provide context. Combining Corrective waves Zig zag / irregular flat/ zig zag (missing) I believe we are still in a corrective phase in the market. For Ew followers I believe this would be called an irregular correction. it is a complex correction. I recently learned of this pattern from other great ew traders. Starting with a zig zag correction ( A B C) \/\ down up down - picture a ball bouncing from a higher structure and gradually bouncing lower. Then it rotates into second structure this one similar to the first but more momentous down up down. If I am not mistaken we are near ending the second leg ⬆️ up. that means we should be rotating ⬇️ down next. If I had to provide a Price target for the full last leg I would say back to 565 or lower. Now this could be completely invalidated there has been so much volatile price swings, however the more you know the better you can prepare. (Now the fun part) One thing I find difficult about trading is all the information out there. So many theories and data but yet it has no benefit to me if I cannot make a decision. As a new trader I would say a great chunk of the information out there does not lead to decision making. Trade framework💡 Let’s walk through a trade plan from start to finish. Assuming everything is correct where price goes in the short term is irrelevant. If it goes to $700 in a day doesn’t matter. A) I would be looking for reversals. 1. Using candle stick patterns ie. bearish Engulfing or evening star patterns. 2. triangle patterns ie rising wedge. 3. Double Top (huge reversal at a set level) entry on second reversal / entry on third confirmation candle. Stop loss slightly above first candle level. 4 Head and shoulders pattern That is it! B) I am targeting the areas of resistance. Questions to ask yourself. 1. What are some areas price gapped up from but never revisited. (Mark out the gaps). Trading into those zones. 2. What were some major resistance level before and has it been retested as support? Mark out strongest levels. 3. Where would buyers lose confidence. This is contrarian trading. Trading against the popular view. If I was a buyer & price reversed on me where would I sell? These are the area you should be looking for major moves your area of opportunity. (Tight stop loss). Stop loss should be tight. Re-entry is ok. Suffer 1000 tiny cuts vs a guillotine. 1. If price breaks above 600 & then fails I would be looking to open a short position targeting the 586 level. Multiple positions ie. open 4 positions Sell one before $593. 2 at 586. Hold unto final position - to see if price falls further. Sell for profit if prices bounces hard. Look for re-entry. #spy #500 #index Will create a video to go over my chart. NFA! Do what’s best for you.

$SPY November 9, 2024AMEX:SPY November 9, 2024 60 Minutes. Run-away gap in action. Hence very strong uptrend. Got weakened on Friday. As we can see we had 2 lows. 568.44 and 567.89. Oscillator divergence. Hence if we draw extension now, we have first target 607 levels. The consolidation I need is not happening. Moving averages setting up nicely. In order. 9,21,50,100 and200 in that order. It will be a good opportunity to buy around 588-592 levels. for the next uptrend. As we can see in 60 minutes 580 is very strong support. 15 Minutes. For the last rise 593.92 to 599.64 holding 596 is important. If 596 is broken, we can probably see 592 as target. I need a pull back for a buy. Again, not a chart to short except for 3-4$ maximum. As of now. in 15 minutes, big oscillator divergence.

How to PREDICT MARKETS! Tops and BottomsIn this video, I go over the following in great detail: Predicting Markets with Williams %R, RSI, and MACD Predicting market movements can be challenging, but combining the Williams %R, Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicators can provide powerful insights for traders. Williams %R measures the current closing price relative to the high-low range over a specific period, helping identify overbought or oversold conditions. RSI gauges the speed and change of price movements, also indicating overbought or oversold levels. MACD analyzes the relationship between two moving averages of a security's price, identifying potential buy or sell signals. By using these three indicators together, traders can: Confirm Trends: When all three indicators align, it strengthens the signal for a potential trend continuation or reversal. Identify Entry and Exit Points: Overbought or oversold signals from these indicators can help pinpoint optimal entry and exit points. Reduce False Signals: Combining multiple indicators can help filter out false signals, increasing the reliability of predictions.

S&P500 (SPY) Hits Target #2 Today!Traders, though we've still got a ways to go to our final target of 670-700 on the SPY, it is worth celebrating our direct hit of 600 today. I remember a year ago drawing out 563 as a first target for our blow-off top and I was laughed at. Bears were in their mood and hungry. They wanted more blood. But a combo of our Elliot Wave and a daily inverse head and shoulders showed us exactly where we would hit. Then I spotted this nice cup and handle on the weekly. If you remember, it was almost invalidated with that China carry trade flash crash. But I stood my ground and stated that we would need to see another weekly open and close below our neckline before the bet was off. That did not happen and we are well on our way to that 670-700 final target. However, before we get there, I do believe our 600 level on the charts will provide some psychological resistance. Admittedly, this was more of a guess than anything when I had drawn it up and placed it on my chart several weeks ago. But now, we are seeing overbought conditions on both the daily and weekly charts. Are we a bit over-heated? I think we may be and should be prepared to see a bit of a drop, or at least a week or so of sideways price action, before we break 600. Unlike my first target at which I sold and buy the carry trade dip for massive profit, I don't know that I will be selling here. 600, as I stated already, was more of a guess than anything. But I am pretty decent at making these guesses. Experience and lots of psychology and chart study has taught me. Before I get ahead of myself though, let's watch and see what the market decides to do next week. ✌️ Stew

Opening (IRA): SPY Dec 20th 505 Covered Call... for a 501.71 debit. Comments: Re-upping at a higher strike than the one I just took off, looking to capture an additional little increment of upmove that I missed out on. If you wanted to be really anal about it, you could capture all of the up move over time (or capture the same increment more than once). For example, say I just took off the November 15th 500 covered call at or near max (e.g., 499.80). I can then shop for a monied covered call to capture the next increment of movement from 499.80 up, so I'd want to get into a setup for 499.80 or less. This would be the Jan 31st 506 covered call, currently trading for 499.72 and would ostensibly capture the move from 499.72 to 506 (assuming, naturally, a finish above 506). In the next iteration, I would look to capture the move from 506 up, and so on, all the way until my short call was at-the-money or out-of-the-money, depending on what I was trying to do with the setup.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 11-8 : Counter-trend RallyHappy Friday everyone, Today's SPY Cycle Pattern is a Rally in Counter-trend mode. I interpret this as a moderate downward price trend for the SPY - possibly pulling the SPY into the GAP created after yesterday's opening GAP rally. I got into deep detail related to the potential anomaly event setting up over the next three weeks for the SPY & QQQ in this video. I also go into a fairly deep analysis of Gold and Silver - relating my expectations and how these moves align cleanly with an inverted Excess Phase Peak pattern. And, I even go into broad detail for BTCUSD and how I see multiple aligned Excess Phase Peak Patterns setting up to drive big trends over the next 3-4 weeks. As I stated near the end of this video, the next 5-7+ years are going to be filled with opportunity. I suggest everyone get ready for the biggest opportunity of your life. I hope you enjoy my videos and research. I know some of you have already experienced tremendous success following my research. I'm urging to you consider the opportunity that will be available as the markets continue to trend through my window of opportunity - and how you want to try to profit from these moves. Remember, the markets will always be there - but these opportunities are unique to the next 5-7+ years.

SPY Near Resistance: Continuation or Pullback?Analysis: Price Trend & Momentum: SPY has shown a strong rally, breaking above previous resistance levels and establishing a new high at $596.65. However, the price action appears to be consolidating near the high, which might indicate a potential pause or a pullback before the next move. Volume Analysis: Volume has been decreasing as the price approached the $595-$596 zone, suggesting a lack of strong buying conviction at these elevated levels. Watch for a volume increase as an indication of continuation or reversal. Moving Averages: The 9 EMA is currently acting as support, with the price staying above it. This indicates that bulls are still in control. A break below the 9 EMA could lead to a retest of the 21 EMA, which is currently sitting around the $583.27 level. Support and Resistance Levels: Immediate Resistance: $596.65 (recent high and potential double-top formation) Support Levels: First Support: $583.27 (strong support near the 21 EMA) Second Support: $579.47 (previous breakout level) Key Support: $575.58 (major pivot level, failure to hold here could lead to a deeper correction) Critical Support: $567.89 (previous swing low, below which bearish sentiment could intensify) MACD Analysis: MACD is showing a bearish crossover on the 1-hour chart, suggesting a loss of momentum. This could be an early sign of a pullback or consolidation phase. Price Action Expectation: Bullish Scenario: If SPY can hold above $595.58 and break above $596.65 with strong volume, we could see a continuation towards the $600 psychological level. Bearish Scenario: Failure to hold the $583.27 support could lead to a pullback towards the $579.47-$575.58 zone, where buyers might step in. A break below $575.58 would be a significant bearish signal. Conclusion: SPY has rallied significantly in the past few sessions, driven by strong market momentum. However, the current consolidation near resistance could indicate a potential pullback or a pause before the next leg up. Keep an eye on volume and the key support levels for confirmation of direction. Disclaimer: This analysis is for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. Please perform your own research or consult with a financial advisor before making trading decisions.

Fibonacci/Gann & 3-6-9 Chart Play: The TOP may be IN I was trying to identify if/how the market may be topping in relation to the post-election rally phase and started with a blank Daily SPY chart. After drawing a few line of the chart, I started with an idea that Broad market pullbacks may be the key to identifying/timing market expansion phases (coupled with a bit of logic). This video highlights this theory going back to 2018 and examines a number of price pullback trends as well as Fibonacci Timing structures related to Fibonacci Price Expansion blocks. I think you will find this very useful as I continue to delve deeper into the 3-6-9 structure, polarity shifts (binary shifts) and trying to unlock the secrets of price trends/extensions. Hope you enjoy... Oh.. and it looks like the US markets are about to top if my research is correct.
