SPX trade ideas
This Guy has arrows down to 4400My last market update ended up receiving a comment from a Trading View user that seemingly was mocking the fact that my shorter-term chart posted in an update to my followers had directional arrows down to the approximate area of ES 4400.
Here's my longer-term expectations. If some didn't like 4400, I suspect they will equally dislike sub-ES 1,000.
Best to all.

Up again for SPX500USDHi traders,
Last week SPX500USD retested the 4H FVG once more and made a (corrective) move down into the Daily BPR. This was exactly the move I've predicted and I hope you took some value from it.
Now price rejected from the Daily BPR so next week we could see this pair go up again to the higher Daily FVG.
Let's see what the market does and react.
Trade idea: Wait for a bullish change in orderflow and a small correction down on a lower timeframe to trade longs.
If you want to learn more about trading FVG's & liquidity sweeps with Wave analysis, then please make sure to follow me.
This shared post is only my point of view on what could be the next move in this pair based on my technical analysis.
Don't be emotional, just trade your plan!

Skeptic | SPX 500 Update: Bullish Breakout Brewing?Hey everyone, Skeptic here! It’s been a while since we’ve checked in on the SPX 500 , but the market’s now flashing a killer long opportunity with a high R/R—don’t miss this one! 😊 Stay with me to the end for the full breakdown. Let’s dive into the Daily Timeframe to set the stage. 📊
Daily Timeframe: The Big Picture
The SPX 500 pulled off a deep correction , dropping from a high of 6154.64 to lows around 4810.39 with some wild shadows that caught everyone off guard. But now, it’s firing up with fresh momentum, carving out higher highs and higher lows that scream bullish strength. The corrections in this new uptrend are super shallow and flow with the trend—exactly what we want to see! After hitting resistance at 5961.82 , we’ve had a slight pullback, but it looks like this correction is wrapping up, and we’re on the verge of the next big uptrend leg. Let’s zoom into the 4-Hour Timeframe to hunt for long and short triggers.
4-Hour Timeframe: Long & Short Setups
On the 4-hour chart, the correction shaped up as a descending trendline . We broke it, pulled back, and now we’re primed to crack 5895.39. A breakout above this level is our main long trigger. To get more precise, let’s check the 1-Hour Timeframe.
For the long setup , a clean break above 5896.34 gets us in the game. This move also busts through P.P. Level 1, giving us solid confirmation, and we could ride the wave up to P.P. Levels 3 or 4, targeting 5930.83 to 5956.97 . Those are prime spots to lock in some profits, but don’t close the whole position—since we’re trading with the trend, we can hold for more upside. For shorts, I’ve got nothing. Going against this bullish momentum would be pure madness! I’d wait for a sharp drop below support at 5849.67 before even considering short triggers, but right now, there’s zilch.
💬 Let’s Talk!
If this update sparked some ideas, give it a quick boost—it means a lot! 😊 Got a pair or setup you want me to tackle next? Drop it in the comments. Thanks for hanging out— let’s grow together and remember: Weathermen forecast. We trade! :))) ✌️
S&P500: Vanna Snapback is Over – Short Gamma Drift Underway Belo📝 Summary
Short gamma regime re-entered after 20Y auction shock. Below 5870, dealers face structural sell pressure from vanna + gamma + charm convergence. Wait for VIX to fall before buying any dip.
📊 Price Levels to Watch
🔺 Upside Breakout Trigger: 5885
→ Reclaiming this level flips dealers back toward neutral gamma, opening short-covering squeeze potential toward 5925–5950
🔻 Downside Acceleration Zone: 5870
→ Structural pressure zone. Vanna-driven delta hedging intensifies. Below here, the market enters a volatility expansion regime
🧱 Gamma Walls:
Call Wall: 5950
Put Walls: 5875 / 5850 / 5800
🔍 Structural Regime Analysis
Macro trigger:
Last night’s 20Y Treasury auction was weak, triggering a sharp risk-off move.
SPX broke 5935 → 5875 in 15 mins, entering short gamma zone (GEX 🔴🔴).
Volatility Regime Shift:
VIX spiked >20, breaking the downward vol trend that supported recent vanna snapback rallies.
This marks the end of volatility compression. Vol expansion regime is in effect.
Dealer Hedging Mechanics:
Below 5870, Vanna pressure increases sharply as price declines + IV rises.
Dealers short puts must delta hedge by selling ES, amplifying downside in a feedback loop.
No Dip Buy Until Vol Stabilizes:
VIX must fall or implied volatility flatten before any long bias resumes.
Until then, treat rebounds as short entries, not long setups.
⚠️ Volatility Metrics Supporting This View
GEX: 🔴🔴 (Negative Gamma on both 0DTE and aggregate expiries)
IVx 5D Change: +4.04% → Implied volatility rising into the drop
PUT$: 85.6% → Option flow heavily defensive (puts > calls)
Skew: High, supporting demand for tail risk hedging
🧭 Tactical Strategy
Short bias below 5870, scale-in entries on failed intraday bounce attempts
First targets: 5850 → 5800 (Put gamma cluster + dealer momentum zone)
Invalidate short above 5885 (where short gamma neutralizes)
📌 Final Note
We are now inside a third-order Greeks-driven sell zone:
Speed ↑, Color ↑, Ultima ↑ → this is a self-reinforcing volatility trap.
No long setups are valid until structural vol metrics cool down.
SPX, Final choppy leg upExpecting choppy ending diagonal wave 5 up to 6130-6200area. Followed by a larger wave 2 correction at the next higher degree/ set up for the a larger wave 3 wave to new ATH. ( Tax cuts/ rate cuts ).
How low will wave 2 go? ( somewhere in the green box most likely). Will we need to monitor its structure going down. Trump will not let market collapse to far If he can help it... And he can help it.
Full Bear Break PlansToday we took out our second important support level and have sold off strong under it. We're in a rally as I write this but it's still inside the expected corrective range.
We still have not net where I'd expect critical supports to be around 5500 but at this point KI feel we do have enough info to make a forecast of what a crash would probably look like.
People always think crash forecasts are hard to make. Top forecasts are hard to make. Accurate forecasts on when a crash break will or will not happen are hard to make. When it comes to the actual swings of a crash when they happen - historically always been very simple to make. If the bull trap low and high is known, the crash levels have always been foreseeable.
For example, when this low and high was known in 2007, all the important levels and the low of the 2008 / 2009 move could be mapped out.
This isn't an isolated case. It's happened in all previous crashes. If you follow my work you'll have seen me trade important levels in drops / lows many times and it's always based on some derivative of this.
If we know the high/low of the bull trap then we can identify the important break level and map out all the levels to the downside that would typically hit.
We can know the zones where there's the risk of this and also know early if the bear setup is failing.
If SPX was going to make a classic break it'd be quite easy to approximate the classic swings we'd have now.
The first continent for this is a wick rejection on the monthly chart, and ideally in the last part of the month. This may be underway now. The selling has to stick with us either going lower or at least holding down - but if things keep going as they have recently we'll have the wick candle.
I recently showed how we tend to have the failure of bullish wick candles before a trend break. In that setup we usually see a big bullish wick candle. Often an attempt to rally and rejection so we have opposing wick candles (bull wick is usually bigger) and after this comes a bearish engulfing candle which is bigger than all the candles around it and takes out the wick low.
That move would take us to about 4500. And almost certainly be news driven.
From here we usually enter into a period of choppy action. It feels bullish and bearish but it's really just going sideways. Often this will end with two big bluffs. First a bluff at being about to break to the downside and then a big spike out of the recent highs.
This choppy action would likely go on for a few months in total with a high somewhere around 5000.
That'd be the last major bull trap and from there we'd start to head into the crash section. During this section we'd travel as much as the full bear swing from high to the current low had taken but we'd do it in a fraction of the time. Over the space of a couple months we'd make a massive news supported capitulation to under the 2022 low.
That'd then complete a 50% drop from the high. Even in extremely bearish setups we tend to get a bounce from around the 50% off the high level and we also tend to get a bounce when we spike out an obvious support zone - so whatever the overall move would be, if and when the 2022 low was spiked out this is around where I'd expect an important low.
This is a step continent trade plan. We can define a marker and if it hits then the bias is towards the next marker.
The first marker was there would be a monthly wick candle.
The following marker would be there is a rejection and close down end of month.
Third marker would be a massive bear candle taking out the wick low.
Fourth marker would be the "Recovery" being muted and stalling out around 500.
If all of those things happen, then the risk of a following breakout becoming a crash event would be high.
In theory, we could be about 6 months from a major crash and we could put in a series of specific markers as warning signs along the way.
First warning sign is there being no V recovery to this selling and the monthly candle closing with a wick.
This post touches on various things that have been explained in far more detail in recent posts. It'd be recommended to read those for full context.
Hellena | SPX500 (4H): SHORT to 38.2% - 50% Fibo lvl 5489.Colleagues, I have reviewed the waves a bit and I believe that when the strong psychological level of 6000 is reached, a reaction and correction in wave “2” is possible.
I propose to consider this movement as a strong five-wave movement. Wave “1” will be over soon.
I consider the 38.2% - 50% Fibonacci levels of 5489 to be the main target of the correction.

S&P INTRADAY corrective pullback - support retest?Trump-Era Tariffs Canceled: A US court struck down the “Liberation Day” tariffs, effective immediately. This boosts sentiment for industrials, consumer goods, and global supply chain-reliant stocks. The government is appealing the ruling.
US Dollar Strengthens: The DXY is back above 100, up 1.8% from last week’s lows. A strong dollar helps importers but may pressure exporters and commodities.
Fed Rate Cut Expectations Decline: Markets now price 42 bps of rate cuts in 2024, down from 50 bps. This supports financials (e.g. banks), but challenges rate-sensitive sectors like real estate and small caps.
Mixed Eurozone Data: Positive Italian confidence figures offset weak German and French job numbers, offering slight global risk support. Limited direct impact on US stocks.
Fed Flags Stagflation Risk: Minutes show the Fed is worried about stagflation. This could weaken confidence in growth stocks and favor defensive sectors.
Today’s US Data Watch:
Q1 GDP 2nd estimate (expected -0.3%)
Weekly jobless claims
Fed speakers
All ahead of Friday’s key PCE inflation data
Market Outlook
Positive: Trade relief, resilient dollar, stronger bank outlook
Caution: Slowing growth, inflation worries, fewer rate cuts
Focus Areas: Industrials, financials, tech (watch for pullbacks); avoid rate-sensitive sectors short term
Key Support and Resistance Levels
Resistance Level 1: 6010
Resistance Level 2: 6070
Resistance Level 3: 6160
Support Level 1: 5780

Throw over top?On a 6 month time frame, price diverged from the trendline in the first half of 2019, their was some apprehension in 2022, but then everyone bought the dip..
Shaded area could be the throw over top, and prices could potentially reverse going forward to the 2nd half of 2025 and beyond, or it could just be a consolidation zone

SPX500USD still going upHi traders,
How accurate do you want an outlook to be? Last week I said price rejected from the Daily BPR so we could see this pair go up again to the higher Daily FVG. And that's exactly what happened.
And after price swept the liquidity to the left, it made a correction into the 4H FVG.
So next week we could see the continuation of the upmove.
Let's see what the market does and react.
Trade idea: Wait for a bullish change in orderflow and a small correction down on a lower timeframe to trade longs.
If you want to learn more about trading FVG's & liquidity sweeps with Wave analysis, then please make sure to follow me.
This shared post is only my point of view on what could be the next move in this pair based on my technical analysis.

SPY update for todayHello everyone,
Not much new to update today, the main highlight is that the market has broken down from the trendline. This is definitely something to take note of. However, today’s move came with relatively low volume, which suggests that while price dropped significantly, there wasn’t a lot of strength behind the move.
This reminds us of a key principle in trading: the market can do whatever it wants. It may look bullish today and turn bearish tomorrow. So always react to what the market is showing you, not just what you expect it to do. Easier said than done, I know, but it's essential.
Looking ahead, this potential pullback could present better entry opportunities, assuming the market doesn’t flip into a full bearish meltdown. For now, we need to give the market some room to breathe, observe how it reacts at key levels, and stay patient for the right setup.
Remember: we're still in a broadly bullish environment. So let’s wait for strong reactions at the right price points before jumping in.

S&P 500 Wave Analysis – 26 May 2025
- S&P 500 reversed from support level 5775,00
- Likely to rise to resistance level 5970,00
S&P 500 index recently reversed up from the pivotal support level 5775,00 (former resistance from March, which formed the daily Japanese candlesticks reversal pattern Evening Star).
The support level 5775,00 was strengthened 20-day moving average and by the 38.21% Fibonacci correction of the previous upward impulse from April.
S&P 500 index can be expected to rise to the next resistance level 5970,00, top of the previous minor impulse wave 1 from the middle of May.
Are we trading the market or trading our own opinion?It was said that 99% of the traders out there failed to make profits.
I pondered hard over this statement and realised that whatever tools I am using, it is equally available to the millions of traders out there. The same for the financial information which I read on CNBC, SCMP, etc. Nothing that I have is one level above others.
Then, when I look at the charts, for a long time, I have also convinced myself of buying at support and selling at resistance and gaps get filled up. From this chart, we can see that 3x the support failed with the last one breaking past the support line before staging a rebound.
Just because it has worked in the past, it does not mean it will again. 19 Feb to 7 Apr 2025, this must be the shortest bear market in history. Could we witness more of such rise and fall in the coming future?
Most would hesitate to go LONG now for one of these reasons :
1) it is reaching the resistance level soon and likely profit taking so price may retrace. Let's wait.
2) Donald Trump and team is getting sued on the tariff matters , volatility is expected in the market so price may move sideways for a while
3) The US market is overvalued per many analysts out there, PE over 28 or 30 and the fall is going to be great like 40-50% downfall. Wait some more or taking partial profits
4) My friends are making good money from cryptocurrency and the profits are huge, I should ditch SPX and followed him
The list could goes on.........
I am still LONG on the SPX and is now awaiting for opportunities to accumulate. What is stopping me is the gap and resistance which I am afraid of. In my mind, I am thinking it is better to get it cheaper , right ?
Guess I am looking for a catalyst or better reasons to convince me to go LONG.............

S&P 500 and the 200-Day Moving Average – A Simple Trend SignalLooking at the daily chart of the S&P 500 with the 200-day moving average (turquoise line), you could build a very basic—but often effective—trend-following system:
✅ Price above the 200-day MA = Bull trend
❌ Price below the 200-day MA = Bear trend
🔄 Price oscillating around it = Possible trend change
________________________________________
📊 Current Setup:
We’ve broken sharply below the 200-day MA and have seen only a minor bounce back above it—with little follow-through. This kind of price action typically suggests a weakening bull trend.
⚠️ If we break below the 200-day MA again (currently around 5773), I’d start viewing that as a bearish signal. Right now, I’m watching this level very closely, as the next move could offer a strong clue about the market’s direction.
