SPY Reclaims Rising Wedge Support - Bear Trap or Breakout Setup?SPY dropped below its rising wedge earlier this week, but that move may have been a bear trap. Price quickly reversed, reclaiming the wedge trendline and closing just below a key Fibonacci level at 629.84.
Buyers stepped in aggressively near the 0.382 and 0.236 retracement zones, defending short-term support. The bounce came on increased volume, signaling strength behind the recovery. Momentum remains intact as long as SPY holds above 626.
Now, bulls need to confirm with a breakout above 629.84–631.96 to open the door to the next levels at 635.63 and 640.30. Failure to break through could lead to another rejection and revisit lower support zones.
Levels to watch:
Support: 626.64, 623.62, 619.60
Resistance: 629.84, 631.96, 635.63
SPY is at a decision point. Reclaiming wedge support is a bullish signal, but bulls need follow-through to avoid another fakeout in the opposite direction.
Earnings Heat Up - 6300 and 6200 SPX Key Levels RemainMarket Update
SPX Key Levels
-SPX poked 6300 Tuesday, Thursday, and poked higher Friday (but settled back to 6300)
-6200 support remains a key level
-6050/6000/5800 next floor levels, I'll be looking for dips
I can see the market slowly (and I mean SLOWLY) grinding higher but preparing for a
reasonable seasonal selloff through end of July into end of September window
July 28-August 1 is a monster week in the markets
-Megacap Earnings (MAG7 Tue/Wed/Thu)
-Wed July 30 - FOMC (Pause expected but Powell's Press Conference is important)
-Friday August 1 - Non-Farm Payroll, Tariff Deadline
I'm hitting fresh YTD highs so I'm not complaining about this melt-up and grind, I'm simply wanting to allocate positions and add to my positions at better levels and with a slightly
higher VIX to help take advantage of the expected move being greater than the actual move
Have a great weekend and thank you watching!!!

SPY 628 – Compression Before Expansion | VolanX Protocol Engaged🧠 SPY 628 – Compression Before Expansion | VolanX Protocol Engaged
📅 July 17, 2025
🔍 SPY (S&P 500 ETF Trust) | 1D Chart
📍 Current Price: 628.04
📈 Chart Thesis by: WaverVanir International LLC
🔗 Powered by VolanX Protocol
🌐 Macro Overview:
The market stands at a critical inflection point, with bulls and bears both pressing their narrative:
The Fed is expected to cut rates in September, with soft CPI and decelerating labor trends justifying a pivot.
Earnings season is bifurcated: Mega-cap tech is leading, while cyclicals are faltering. This raises the risk of a short-term rally masking deeper fragility.
Global macro risks – including rising geopolitical stress in the Asia-Pacific region and commodity volatility – increase the odds of a tail event.
📊 Technical Outlook:
SPY is now hugging a major supply zone near 628 with price stalling for multiple sessions. This area marks a compressed equilibrium where volatility is likely to expand soon. Key technicals:
Rejection candles suggest seller presence near 630.
Price is overextended but remains above all major EMAs.
Breakdown zone sits at 565, which aligns with prior resistance and a major volume shelf.
No current bearish divergence on RSI or MACD, but momentum is flat.
🎯 VolanX Probabilistic Bias:
The system currently anticipates three paths:
Bullish breakout toward 660–675 if the Fed confirms a dovish stance and tech continues to lead.
Neutral grind in the 600–615 zone if macro remains balanced and earnings don’t surprise.
Bearish breakdown to 565 or lower if macro stress emerges or dollar strength accelerates.
🛠️ Options Strategy Highlights:
Bullish Trade Idea: Buy 630C / Sell 660C (30–45 DTE) – Low cost, targets breakout above resistance.
Bearish Trade Idea: Buy 620P / Sell 565P – High R/R play into macro unwind.
Both are defined-risk strategies, ideal in volatile inflection zones like this.
⚠️ VolanX Note:
This is a classic binary event structure forming under institutional watch. DSS scans show compression is now mature. Whichever side confirms will likely trigger a large move, not a drift.
Let the narrative confirm the signal.

SPY (SP-500) - Rising WedgeYesterday we had a breakdown of the rising wedge on SPY. I draw out some important levels to look out for coming days/weeks. The trendline since april has also been broken. ICEUS:DXY is breaking out to which is increasing the risks for a "Risk off" scenario in tech stocks and crypto.
Nothing here should be interpreted as financial advise. Always do your own research and decisions.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Special Update : BUCKLE UPThis video is a special update for all TradingView members. I felt I needed to share this information and present the case that I believe poses the most significant risk to your financial future - and it's happening right now.
Several weeks ago, I identified a very unique mirror setup in the SPY and kept an eye on how it was playing out. I needed to see confirmation of this setup before I could say it had any real likelihood of playing out as I expected.
As of today, I'm suggesting that we now have excellent confirmation that the US/Global markets are about to enter a deep consolidation phase, lasting through the rest of 2025 and possibly into 2026 and early 2027.
The interesting thing about this price pattern/structure is that it is almost exactly the same as the 2003-2007 structure, which I believe is the origin of this mirror setup. Almost down to the exact type of price bars/patterns I'm seeing.
Many of you are already aware that I've been calling for a critical low cycle in the SPY on July 18 for many months. What you may not realize is that the pattern is based on Weekly price data. The July 18 cycle low can have a span of +/- 1-3 weeks related to when and how the cycle low pattern plays out.
Watch this video. If you have any questions, message me or comment.
I'm still here, doing my best to identify and unlock the secrets of price action and to help as many traders as I can.
Price is the Ultimate Indicator.
Get some.

SPY at Key Support! Will It Hold or Break? TA for July 16🧨 GEX-Based Options Outlook:
* GEX Sentiment: Negative gamma dominates (🟥 GEX 🔻), indicating elevated dealer hedging risk.
* Put Wall & Support:
* Major PUT Wall at 620 (⚠️ -38.47%) is being tested.
* Additional downside liquidity lies below 618.
* Call Resistance:
* Upside resistance around 625–627, where both the 2nd CALL Wall and GEX7/8 sit.
* IV/Flow Summary:
* IVR 12.3 (low), PUTs 57.2% – bearish skew.
* Option flow is protecting downside → less confidence in upside follow-through unless we reclaim 624.5+.
* Conclusion: SPY is pinned around major support. A breakdown under 620 could accelerate downside into 616/614 range.
📉 1H Price Action & Trade Setup:
* SPY formed a CHoCH breakdown and is retesting the wedge base.
* Strong rejection from the 624.81–627.96 supply zone.
* Price is now hugging trendline support and could trigger a bounce or further breakdown depending on liquidity sweep.
Bullish Scenario:
* ✅ Entry: Above 621.50 reclaim with confirmation.
* 🎯 Targets: 624.50 → 626.80.
* ⛔ Stop: 620 or below trendline.
* ⚠️ Note: Only valid if SPY holds the CHoCH base and sweeps under 620 to trap bears.
Bearish Scenario:
* ❌ Entry: Clean break below 620, especially if it fails a retest.
* 🎯 Targets: 618 → 615.50 → 612.
* ⛔ Stop: Back above 622 with volume.
🎯 My Thoughts & Recommendation:
SPY is balancing on a major PUT wall and SMC support trendline. If 620 fails, the path of least resistance is down toward 615 and potentially 612 due to the lack of supportive gamma levels below. A relief bounce is possible only if dealers regain control above 624. Keep stops tight, as this zone could snap quickly.

$SPY: Composite Sub-Cycles (Recursive)Research Notes Documenting Commonality
I’ve identified several bar patterns that formed following significant historical declines. They share notable similarities, as if suggesting that the magnitude of past major moves sets the structure of subsequent groups of sub-cycles (which I call "building blocks" sometimes).
I placed them in respect to current scaling laws so the method of exclusion can be applied in order to familiarize with typical "terrain" of price dynamics at such phase. Documenting them because a direct study is the most effective approach to uncovering the essence of recursive patterns.
Some of the bar patterns are lowered to highlight temporal aspect which matters more than price scale.
SPY Daily Chart – Rising Wedge at Resistance, RSI Near OverboughSPY continues to push higher, but today's candle reinforces a cautious tone as we approach a key inflection point.
The chart is currently forming a rising wedge pattern — historically a bearish structure that often precedes downside breaks, especially when forming after a strong upside move. Price is hugging the upper boundary of the wedge, with multiple failed breakout attempts near 626.87, which is acting as strong resistance.
The RSI sits at 68.59, just below the 70 overbought threshold. While this confirms strong bullish momentum, it also signals that the move may be getting stretched. A rejection here or a lower high on RSI while price continues higher could form a bearish divergence, a classic early reversal signal.
Volume remains moderate (~51.85M), and the candles have tightened — suggesting indecision. The rising wedge’s lower trendline and the short-term moving average (likely the 8 or 10 EMA) are immediate support. A break below these levels would shift the bias more clearly to the downside.
Key levels to watch:
Resistance: 626.87 (wedge top)
Support: rising wedge lower boundary and EMA (around 620–622)
RSI: break below 65 or a confirmed divergence would increase bearish risk
If the wedge breaks down with a drop in RSI and a flip in momentum indicators (such as Parabolic SAR), it may open the door for a pullback toward previous support zones near 603 or even 592.63.
No confirmation yet, but the risk-reward here starts to shift away from chasing longs. Caution is warranted.

📦 Dow Futures Dip on New Tariff Announcements
President Trump announced new 30% tariffs on EU and Mexico, with additional duties on Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, South Africa, Laos, and Myanmar starting August 1. Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq futures each slipped ~0.3% as markets assess inflation risk ahead of key CPI data this week

📊 Key Data Releases & Events 📊
📅 Tuesday, July 15:
8:30 AM ET – CPI (June)
Core CPI is projected at +0.3% MoM (2.7% YoY) and headline CPI +0.3% MoM—signs tariff effects may be feeding into prices
8:30 AM ET – Core CPI (June)
Expected to come in around 3.0% YoY.
8:30 AM ET – Empire State Manufacturing Survey (July)
Forecast: –7.8 (less negative than June’s –16.0) — a modest sign of stabilizing factory conditions
Fed Speakers Throughout the Day
Watch for commentary from Fed officials (Michael Barr, Barkin, Collins, Logan) for fresh insights on inflation and monetary policy
⚠️ Market Interpretation:
Inflation Watch: A hotter-than-expected CPI could delay anticipated rate cuts and lift yields. A pick-up in core CPI above 3% would be a red flag.
Growth Signals: A less-negative Empire State reading may suggest improving industrial momentum but still signals contraction.
Political Risk: Tariff escalation could shift investor appetite, even if markets right now are focusing on broader macro narratives.
Volatility Setup: The combination of thin liquidity, tariff uncertainty, and critical data makes for a potentially choppy week.

🔸 GEX-Based Options Sentiment (Tanuki GEX Zone)
* GEX Summary:
* Highest Call Wall (Resistance): 625–628 → strong resistance zone.
* Highest Put Wall (Support): 618 → major gamma defense line.
* GEX Flip Zone / NETGEX Support: around 620, where negative gamma begins accelerating downside moves.
* Current GEX Bias: Bearish
* GEX: 🔴
* IVR: 9.8 (very low)
* PUTs %: 51.1% (risk off bias)
* Call walls stack above, forming a clear ceiling.
* Interpretation & Options Strategy:
* As long as SPY trades below 625, the call resistance stack and bearish gamma exposure favor PUT buyers.
* Breakdown below 620 may trigger an acceleration to 617 and even 615 where deeper PUT walls exist.
* Avoid calls until SPY reclaims and holds 626.88+.
* ✅ Suggested Options Play (Bearish Bias):
* PUT 620p / 618p, 0DTE–2DTE if under 623.
* Stop if price holds and reclaims 625.50+ with volume.
🟦 1H Chart Analysis – Price Action, SMC, and Trade Setups
* Market Structure:
* After the recent BOS, price formed a tight rising wedge, then broke CHOCH and now sits inside a retest box.
* This shows distribution behavior and vulnerability to breakdown.
* A clear CHOCH + BOS sequence is already completed on the 1H.
* Current Range & Zones:
* Consolidation Box: 621.50–625.50
* Trendline Support (lower channel): 621–620
* Demand Zone (H1): 617–618
* Critical Liquidity Below: 615–613.50
* Trade Setup – Scalp/Swing View:
Bearish Scenario (More Likely):
* 🔻 Entry: Under 623 with confirmation
* 📉 Target 1: 620
* 📉 Target 2: 617.50
* ❌ SL: 625.50
* 📈 Optional hedge/reversal: Flip long if 626.88 reclaims (very aggressive).
* Bullish Scenario (Low Probability unless reclaim):
* ✅ Entry: Above 627
* 🎯 Target 1: 629–630
* ❌ SL: Below 625
🧠 Final Thoughts:
* SPY is currently sitting in a gamma trap zone, where it’s pinned between major put support (620) and call resistance (625+).
* If price slips below 620, gamma forces could rapidly drive it to 617–615 zone.
* Until we see strength above 626.88, the path of least resistance remains down.
