S&P500 Corrction Downwards#trading_idea #US500 💡 #US500 - Bearish Momentum 🕯Market Analysis Overview: U.S. Stocks: This week, the rally in U.S. stocks faces a critical test as Nvidia is set to release its earnings report. Nvidia's stock has surged 150% year-to-date, significantly boosting the S&P 500. Nvidia's Importance: Nvidia has played a major role in driving the S&P 500, which is now approaching record highs again. The company's performance has contributed a substantial portion of the index's gains this year. Market Expectations: Nvidia's future guidance on AI investments could have a significant impact on market sentiment. Risk and Volatility: September is historically a volatile month for the S&P 500. Nvidia's results could either support the ongoing rally or heighten investor concerns. On the 4-hour chart, the price is testing the middle Bollinger Band. A potential ABCD pattern could complete to the downside. The RSI has dropped below the 50 line. If the downward movement continues, the next target is the lower Bollinger Band at the support level of 5578. Possible Scenarios 🔽If the price break down the middle line of the Bollinger the further decline to the support 5600 and lower is possible. 🔼Otherwise, a return to the resistance at 5630 is likely. 😎 Choose "👍" if you expect a price hike and "👎" if you expect a decline.

Trading Idea of week 35 - S&P500 - TradingMasteryHubWelcome to the TradingMasteryHub Trading Ideas! Are you ready to gear up for the upcoming week? Join us as we dive into a detailed analysis to uncover top trading opportunities that could potentially boost your trading account. We’ll break down our strategy, defining precise Entries, managing Risk, and pinpointing the optimal Exit zones—steps that can transform your trading performance. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to fine-tune your approach, these insights are crafted to help you on your path to mastering the markets. S&P 500 Poised to Break New All-Time Highs! The S&P 500 has climbed back above its long-term uptrend (green trend line) that’s been in play since early November 2023. The current all-time high (ATH) of 5,680.4, set on July 16th, also marked the beginning of a mid-term downtrend (red trend line). However, two weeks ago, we witnessed a significant breakout from this downtrend, accompanied by high volume, which also reestablished the long-term uptrend. The last four trading days have been range-bound between key support (green) and resistance (blue) zones, with a stable volume profile (orange box) in between. If the price manages to break through the key resistance zone (blue), new ATHs are highly likely. This presents a clear and compelling trading opportunity that we’re excited to share with you. How to Turn This into a 5-Star Setup! Before we rush into a trade, excited by the prospect of bullish momentum, it’s crucial to do our homework. This means waiting for multiple confirmations before entering the trade: 1. The Trend is Your Friend: The chart shows different trends depending on the time frame. We’re trading on a 15-minute chart, where the uptrend is clear. But we also need to confirm that the higher time frame (above our execution trend) is in an uptrend and not in a consolidation phase following a longer-term downtrend. - Box Checked: We saw a breakout from the mid-term downtrend on August 15th with high volume (RVOL > 3) and a 15-minute close above the last higher low of that downtrend on August 19th, also with high volume. 2. We Need New Bullish Momentum: To hit new ATHs, we require strong buying pressure. This could come from a catalyst like favorable news (e.g., interest rate cuts by the Fed) or a technical breakout above the key resistance zone (blue). - Box Checked: We’ll look for a 15-minute close above the blue zone, RVOL > 3 at the breakout, and ideally, a U.S. market opening above the previous day’s Volume Profile high to confirm a trending day. - Plus: Price must be above both the session VWAP and 2-day VWAP. - Bonus: An additional catalyst in the form of a market-moving news event. 3. We Need Patience: Only when all the above criteria are met should we enter the trade. - Entry: After a 15-minute candle closes above the blue zone, but only if the risk/reward ratio is >1.3 up to Target 1. - Risk Management: Stop Loss (SL) at 5,624.7, just below Friday’s Pivot R1 minus 6 points for market noise. Take Profit (TP) Target 1 is set at 5,678, just below Pivot R2 (also the 1.618 Fib Extension), where we’ll scale out 50% of the position and move the SL to the entry level, making the trade risk-free. - Profit Target 2 (50%): This will likely be around 5,730, just below the 2.618 Fib Extension. If we don’t see new ATHs, TP Target 2 will be triggered by a close below the highest green 15-minute candle. 4. We Need Discipline: Trading only when all conditions are met will give us an edge in the long run. - Discipline: Sticking to your rules is crucial for consistent trading. Without discipline, you lose the ability to analyze and refine your edge, leaving you at the mercy of emotional decisions. 5. We Need to Review Our Trades: Keeping a Trading Journal is essential for learning from both mistakes and successes. We’ll provide another e-Learning session focused on this vital topic. A simple journal can significantly improve your trading. Always Have a Plan B! Sometimes Plan A doesn’t play out. That’s why it’s important to have a Plan B—a slightly less optimal, but still viable, 4-star setup. In this case, if the breakout above the blue zone doesn’t occur and the market reverses towards the green zone, we might consider a short trade instead. But again, we need a separate checklist: 1. Range Trades Need a History: The market must test key zones (green and blue) more than twice each to confirm a range. - Confirmation: More than two touches of the green and red zones have already occurred. 2. We Need Bearish Momentum: A bearish environment is necessary for a return to the range. This could be triggered by a negative catalyst (e.g., lower unemployment rates) or a breakdown below VWAP. - Box Checked: We need a 15-minute candle close below both session VWAP and 2-day VWAP, RVOL > 3, and the market ranging within the Volume Profile. 3. We Need Patience: Enter the trade only when all conditions are met. - Entry: After a 15-minute candle closes below both VWAPs, with a risk/reward ratio >1.7 up to TP Target 1. - Risk Management: SL at 5,647, just above Friday’s Pivot R1 plus 6 points for noise. TP Target 1 at 5,602, just above Pivot P (0.382 Fib retracement), where we’ll close 100% of the position. 4. We Need Discipline: As always, sticking to the plan is key. 5. We Need to Review Our Trades: Keeping track of your trades ensures you learn and improve over time. --- Conclusion and Recommendation By focusing on clear trends, momentum, and discipline, you can capitalize on high-probability trading setups like the ones we’ve outlined here. However, it's crucial to understand that not every 5-star setup will be a winner. Even the most promising setups don’t guarantee success every time. The true key to long-term profitability lies in consistently following a well-defined strategy and maintaining a favorable risk/reward ratio. Over time, this disciplined approach can lead to steady profits, helping you grow your trading account while minimizing losses. Having a solid Plan B also keeps you prepared for whatever the market throws your way. With these strategies, you’re not just following the market—you’re mastering it. Can’t Get Enough?

Either Stock or GoldIn every analysis I have done over the years, I have said that I hold either gold or equities. I have never been in cash other than equities. These charts explain why. From 1884 to 1970, you could buy 1 SP500 share with an average of 0.74 gold or $14.75. So there is not much point in choosing between gold and the dollar during this period because the Bretton Woods system is still in place. But the real problem starts after 1970. After the Bretton Woods system was abolished, you can now buy 1 SP500 share with an average of 2 gold coins. Yes, the stock is rising relative to gold, but it is not in a continuous upward trend, so you can buy SP500 shares with 2 gold in 1972 or 2020. But in dollar terms, things are not so good. In 1970 you could buy SP500 for $100 and in 2020 you can buy SP500 for $3000. Therefore, when you sell a share, going for gold instead of cash may put you at a speculative loss in the short term, but in the long term you are always on the winning side.

SPx 4H / Toward ATH and Bearish SideS&P 500 Technical Analysis: Potential Shift from Bullish to Bearish Trend The S&P 500 is currently striving to reach its all-time high (ATH), but a bearish trend may emerge if the price stabilizes below 5675 or 5709. If this occurs, the index is expected to decline towards 5620 and 5584, with a break below 5584 signaling the start of a significant bearish trend for the week. On the other hand, if the price stabilizes above 5675, it could test 5709, and a sustained move above 5709 would indicate the beginning of a new bullish phase. Key Levels: Pivot Line: 5644 Resistance Levels: 5675, 5709, 5732 Support Levels: 5620, 5584, 5525 Expected Trading Range for Today: The price is anticipated to fluctuate between 5584 and 5675. Current Trend: The market is expected to initially move bullishly towards the ATH, followed by a potential bearish reversal.

SPX: pivoting is “nearing”The Jackson Hole Symposium is a yearly event closely watched by the markets. The speech held by Fed Chair Powell, revealed that the Fed is “nearing” its first rate cut. Markets are now almost sure that the Fed will make such a decision at their September FOMC meeting. The US equity markets reacted positively to Powell`s rhetoric, bringing the S&P 500 to the level of 5.634. The index gained 1,45% for the week, and is nearing its all time highest level reached during July this year at the level of 5.668. Once again tech stocks were the ones that pushed the market to the upside. Nvidia and Tesla were higher by 4% over the week. Also other stocks were finishing the week higher, supported by the investor`s expectations that the environment of increased interest rates will support the future growth of companies. Analysts from the Swiss UBS bank noted their expectations that the eroded interest rates on cash holdings will impact investors to switch their holdings back to the equity market, in expectation of higher returns. Still, it should be considered that some investors are still expecting a recession in the US.

Weekly Recap & Market Forecast $SPX (Aug 25th—> Aug 30th)Weekly Market Recap 🌐 Hello Investors! 🌟 This week saw US stock markets continue their recovery from early August losses, bolstered by strong market breadth and significant economic developments. Let’s dive into the key events that shaped the financial landscape. 📈 Market Overview: US stock markets opened the week with a strong recovery, continuing to recoup losses from earlier in August. Market breadth was notably strong, though equity volumes remained seasonally low. Treasury yields were under modest pressure, the US dollar slumped to an 8-month low, and gold reached new all-time highs on Tuesday following weaker-than-expected Philly Fed services data. On Wednesday, the BLS released annual payroll revisions, revealing a downward adjustment of 818K payrolls, or ~68K per month, marking the largest downward revision since 2009. This significant revision further set the stage for the Fed to solidify expectations for a September rate cut at the Jackson Hole Symposium later in the week. July FOMC minutes confirmed that some officials had already been open to a rate cut during their last meeting. Meanwhile, crude oil prices remained under pressure due to concerns about Chinese demand and hopes for a Gaza peace deal. Heading into Fed Chair Powell’s speech on Friday, the US 2-year yield was holding at around 4%, with futures markets projecting that investors expected the Fed to begin lowering rates next month, potentially by as much as 100 bps by year’s end. **Powell delivered a message that pleased investors, acknowledging that “the time has come for policy to adjust.” By expressing increased confidence in the inflation trajectory and stating that no further cooling in the labor market is necessary, Powell reinforced the belief that a series of rate cuts are likely to begin in September. Futures markets continued to project 100 bps of easing by early next year, with close to 200 bps over the next 12 months.** For the week, the S&P 500 gained 1.5%, the DJIA rose 1.3%, and the Nasdaq climbed 1.4%. **Stock Market Performance:** - 📈 S&P 500: Up by 1.5% - 📈 Dow Jones: Up by 1.3% - 📈 NASDAQ: Up by 1.4% **Economic Indicators:** - **Treasury Yields:** The US 2-year yield held steady around 4%, as investors priced in expectations for Fed rate cuts. - **BLS Payroll Revisions:** The downward revision of 818K payrolls, the largest since 2009, further supported the case for a September rate cut. - **Gold Prices:** Hit new all-time highs as the US dollar slumped to an 8-month low. - **Crude Oil Prices:** Remained under pressure amid concerns about Chinese demand and hopes for a Gaza peace deal. **Corporate News:** - **Target:** Delivered a strong quarter, beating on both the top- and bottom-line, with improving trends across discretionary categories. - **TJX Companies:** Posted another strong quarter, capitalizing on the current economic environment. - **Palo Alto Networks:** Topped estimates and raised FY product revenue guidance, though margins declined. - **Workday:** Reported a standout quarter and raised long-term operating margin targets. - **Lowe’s:** Reported weaker-than-expected results, missing SSS estimates and lowering its outlook due to a challenging macroeconomic environment. - **Mixed Earnings:** Macy’s, Snowflake, Williams-Sonoma, and BJ’s Wholesale Club reported relatively poorer execution, reflecting varying degrees of macroeconomic challenges. - **Cava Group:** Delivered impressive results, with 14%+ SSS growth, in contrast to Red Robin Gourmet, which missed and lowered its FY profit outlook. - **AMD:** Made headlines with a SEED_TVCODER77_ETHBTCDATA:5B deal to acquire ZT Systems, aiming to better compete with Nvidia in the data center space. **Looking Ahead:** Next week will bring several key economic data releases and earnings reports: - **U.S. Core PCE Inflation** - **U.S. Q2 GDP** - **U.S. Housing Data** - **Earnings Reports:** CrowdStrike ( NASDAQ:CRWD ), Salesforce ( NYSE:CRM ), Dell Technologies ( NYSE:DELL ), Nvidia ( NASDAQ:NVDA ) As we look forward, these developments will be crucial in shaping market sentiment and guiding investment decisions.

Applying Technical Analysis on an index (discussion)This is a topic that keeps coming back into my mind. I am a believer in and user of TA, but the concept of applying it to indices keep haunting me. I googled it and found a few YouTube videos that did nothing to help. So I decided to put my thoughts down on paper. Here’s the thing, using the S&P500 as an example. In an uptrend, we know that the market in general is moving up. And vice versa in a downtrend. We also know that the S&P500 consists of 500 large companies, each with a life, business, earnings and share price movement of their own. Recently, a handful of tech companies have taken charge, accounting for about 35% (MotleyFool, July 2024), but that leaves 65% to the others. So how is it that technical analysts use their tools to predict the movement of an index, then it clearly has no direction of its own? Technical traders will look at support and resistance levels, directions, pullbacks, indicators and so on to try to predict future behavior. They will place their trades based on this. On stocks, commodities, FX. And on indices. And here’s my quarrel with myself: an index is a derivative, it is 100% dependent on the movements of the underlying assets, which in fact IS the index. An index has no will or movement of its own, it moves as the underlying moves. Again, using the S&P500 as an example, it is the combined movement of 500 stocks that move the index. If the S&P500 is approaching a level of resistance, that should be irrelevant. The index is like a puppet on a string, it has no influence of its moves. In theory, ALL of the 500 companies making up the index might not be near resistance (not likely, but in theory). So, the idea of an index bouncing off resistance makes no sense, it all depends on the action of the underlying assets. Yes, as Mag7 make up 35% of the index, their behavior weighs heavy, but in terms of TA for the index that does not matter. If all of them should happen to also meet resistance, there is still 65% of the index that might not be. In essence, TA should not work on an index. On a stock, traders make a direct impact on price and thereby charts, they are seamlessly connected. For an index, there is no such direct connection, it is through a number of underlying components, 500 of them in the case of S&P500. However, we know that TA is heavily used on indices, and sometimes actually work as well. Just to mention, I know you can trade indices “directly” via i.e. futures and CFDs, but these are derivatives of the index (which itself is a derivative...), and as such has no impact on the price or direction of the actual index. Statements like “the S&P500 is approaching a strong level of resistance, so we might see a pullback” puzzles me. The only way the S&P500 can experience a pullback is if the majority of the components, in terms of value, also experience a pullback. The index has no movement of its own, it has no free will. So why does it work? Before we dive into that, I must say that I mainly look at trend and general direction when trading indices. I rarely even consider support and resistance or any other factors. I sometimes look at the strength of a movement, but again any strength is dependent on the underlying, and so indicators i.e. applied to an index is of limited value as I see it. Why TA might work on indices is a complex topic, and there is no correct answer. One theory is that (still using S&P500 as example) when the S&P is approaching a level of resistance, it can make investors anxious. If they are long NVDA, MSFT, F, WMT, they might think they should sell or reduce their position. “The market is expected to pull back, better take profit, I can buy back after”. If enough investors do this, the index will do just as predicted. Also, if the market is making ATH after ATH, more people will want to get onboard, pushing the index even further. In closing, I looked at the 5-year chart of the S&P500. You must look really hard to find definitive levels of support and resistance, as can be seen from the chart. I would argue there are none. No levels being touched several times, no clear levels of bounce either up or down. Trend is present, but considering what I have discussed above, is this index related? Or is the index simply moving as the underlying is moving? Clearly the latter, as an index has no direction of its own. I am sure there are many views on this, as there should be. TA is a very subjective “science” and I expect many opposing views, especially on my last paragraph. It is highly welcome! I started this post being very uncertain what I think of TA applied to indices. As I was writing, thinking, considering, I have come closer to deciding where I stand on this.
