S&P500 Bottom expected this week.New bull phase to 6500 startingThe S&P500 index (SPX) has a red 1W candle last week, its first after 6 straight green. This was a much needed technical correction on a rally that has been holding since the August 05 low, while on the longer term it's part of a Channel Up that since last October (2023), hence a year ago, is being supported by the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line). We've identified a similar pattern, essentially an identical price action that started after the March 2020 COVID bottom and extended all the way to the November 2021 peak. It appears that relative to that Channel Up pattern, we are about to complete this week step (e), which on May 17 2021, it priced the 2nd straight red week and then resumed the uptrend. Technically, as long as the 1W MA50 holds, we remain inside a Bull Phase. The symmetry between the two fractals is striking, both have ascended by +43.46% up to step (e). If this symmetry continues all the way to the top, then that could be at a +62.37% rise from the Channel's bottom. As a result, this gives us a 6500 Target (at least) by Q2 2025. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

S&P 500TREND ; The S&P 500 index is currently in an uptrend (Bullish), characterized by higher highs and higher lows since mid-August. PLAN : • The support zone around 5,670 acted as a base for a recent upward move. • The 5,870 level seems to be a key resistance area, and price is currently testing this level. • If the price breaks above the 5,870 resistance level, my potential target will be around 5,989.15. • Note that the blue arrow indicates the measured move from the support level at 5,750 up to the resistance at 5,870, which could imply the projected target if this breakout occurs. by juniormoseki10

Market dynamics and Fed's role - Trump Re-ElectionRecent polls and market predictions have fueled speculations of a potential re-election for former U.S. President Donald Trump, with investors eyeing so-called “Trump trades” — strategies that typically involve a stronger dollar, reduced interest rates, and a preference for U.S. stocks over international ones. While these investments appear to be gaining momentum, there are concerns among financial institutions that they may have already reached their peak, potentially limiting gains in the near future. However, a significant factor adding complexity to this landscape is the role of the Fed and its influence on economic performance through its monetary policies. The Fed’s recent rate cuts, inflation control, and employment policies could have a decisive impact on both “Trump trades” and broader market stability. The Fed’s Dual Mandate: Inflation Control and Full Employment The U.S. Federal Reserve operates with a dual mandate: to maintain an annual inflation rate of 2% as measured by the Consumer Price Index and to sustain full employment, although it doesn’t set a specific target for the unemployment rate. When the CPI strays too far from the 2% goal, or if there are dramatic shifts in employment, the Fed adjusts the federal funds rate to influence economic conditions. In 2022, the CPI hit a 40-year high of 8%, prompting a swift response from the Fed. Contributing factors included the trillions of dollars injected into the economy during 2020 and 2021 to offset the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, near-zero interest rates, and quantitative easing measures that flooded the financial system with liquidity. In response, the Fed raised the federal funds rate to 5.33%, marking a two-decade high. This aggressive policy adjustment has since helped bring the CPI down to an annualized rate of 2.4% as of September 2024, aligning closer to the Fed’s target. September Rate Cut and Market Expectations for November In light of these trends, the Federal Open Market Committee at the Fed decided to cut the federal funds rate by half a percentage point in its September meeting. The upcoming FOMC meeting scheduled for early November raises the question of whether another rate cut could be imminent. Given that inflation is trending toward the 2% target, a further rate cut seems likely. Moreover, with the unemployment rate climbing from 3.7% to 4.1% this year, there are signs of potential weakening in the job market, reinforcing the need for the Fed to support economic growth before further job losses occur. Chairman Jerome Powell has indicated that the downside risks to employment have increased, which might justify additional rate reductions. According to the FOMC’s September projections, there could be another 50 basis points of cuts before year’s end. With only November and December meetings remaining, most predictions suggest two 25-basis-point cuts in each session. The CME Group’s FedWatch tool reflects a 95% probability of a 25-basis-point cut next week, with a 78% likelihood of a similar cut in December. Impact of Rate Cuts on Trump Trades and Broader Markets These potential rate cuts have mixed implications for "Trump trades." Lower interest rates can benefit U.S. stocks in the long run by reducing borrowing costs for businesses, boosting their capacity for growth, and increasing consumer spending power. This environment would likely favor sectors central to “Trump trades” — primarily energy, finance, and certain defensive industries — especially if Trump secures re-election. On the other hand, if Harris wins, analysts anticipate a more balanced international investment landscape, which could weaken the dollar and shift investment attractiveness from U.S. to international stocks. Harris’s policies, expected to support environmentally friendly sectors and lessen trade tensions, may also benefit industries outside the U.S., including healthcare and manufacturing. Long-Term Rate Cuts and Economic Growth Outlook Looking beyond this year, the FOMC’s forecast indicates the possibility of an additional 125 basis points of cuts in 2025, with a final 25-basis-point cut in 2026. If realized, this would bring the federal funds rate to approximately 2.88%, nearly halving it from its recent peak. Historically, such reductions support stock markets, enhancing growth across various sectors by enabling corporations to expand with cheaper credit and improve profitability with lower interest costs. Still, investors remain cautious. Rate cuts are favorable for stocks only when economic conditions are stable. If further unemployment spikes indicate deeper economic challenges, investors could pull back, particularly from “Trump trades,” opting for safer assets amid heightened uncertainty. Preparing for Market Adjustments Based on Election Outcomes As the November elections draw near, markets remain highly sensitive to both political forecasts and the Fed’s rate decisions. While “Trump trades” show ongoing upward momentum, the potential for an investment realignment looms based on the election outcome. Investors are preparing for scenarios under both Trump and Harris, each with profound implications for the U.S. and global economy. In either case, the Fed’s monetary policy — and its influence over inflation and employment — will be crucial in shaping the investment landscape for the coming years.Longby kgougakis2

SP500: Markets watch for JOLTs and corporate resultsThis Tuesday, October 29, 2024, marks the start of a pivotal week for the markets, with several key reports that will define the trend of the coming days. In addition to corporate results and the JOLTs survey, multiple relevant economic indicators will be released throughout the day. Here are the five key highlights for today: 1. U.S. JOLTs survey. Today at 15:00 (Spanish time), the JOLTs survey will be released, revealing the number of job openings in the United States. This report will be crucial to understand the state of the labor market before the expected employment report this Friday. 8.04 million offers are expected, a slight increase from the previous 7.99 million, while job quits are estimated at 3.08 million. These data are crucial ahead of the employment report to be released on Friday. 2. Corporate results Some of the major companies reporting their results today include Banco Santander, Alphabet, Pfizer and AMD. These reports will have a strong impact and these results are expected to set the pace for the market, particularly in key sectors such as technology, pharmaceuticals and banking. Additional note: Who are the “Magnificent 7” backing? In addition, the tech giants, known as the “Magnificent 7” (Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Nvidia, Meta and Tesla), have been in the spotlight for their financial support of the U.S. presidential campaign. Kamala Harris has received majority support from these companies, with the notable exception of Tesla, given Elon Musk's open support for Trump, which stands out in the political donation charts. This endorsement reinforces the influence of techs not only in the markets, but also in the political arena. 3. Volatility in cryptocurrencies and commodities. Cryptocurrencies continue to show volatility, with Bitcoin trading around $71,000 and Ethereum at $2,600. In addition, gold futures are holding around $2,763, while U.S. coffee is trading at $252. 4. Asian movements Asian indices show mixed signs, with rises in the Nikkei and Hang Seng, while the Shanghai Composite slips 0.8%. In Japan, job-to-applicant ratio (1.23) and unemployment rate (2.5%) figures were released, both in line with expectations. 5. European Movements and Wall Street Today In Europe, highlights include the GfK consumer confidence index in Germany (-21) and Eurozone quarterly GDP (0.2%). In the United Kingdom, data such as mortgages and consumer credit will be released. On Wall Street, the previous day closed in positive territory, with the S&P 500 (+0.2%) and the Dow Jones (+0.6%) standing out. In addition, in the US, the Redbook index and the Conference Board's consumer confidence index will also be published. 6. Debt auctions and other financial indicators During the day, several countries will hold debt auctions, including Japan, New Zealand and the US, with a special focus on the US 7-year bond auction. In addition, reports related to inflation in the US will be released, as well as weekly API crude oil stocks. S&P 500 (AT Ticker: USA500) S&P500 has been moving in the 5,832 points area this week with a bearish presence. Although its long term channel continues to have bullish presence and is moving above the middle zone of its long term channel, it currently appears to be generating a sideways movement since October 14 indicating this indecision in the US market regarding the election. JOLT survey data could extend the value above the current high. The RSI is indicating 58.08% and has been below the 200-day RSI average of 61.40%, this may be indicating that the market is undecided on a possible Trump victory despite consistent support from the magnanimous 7 for a Democratic party that does not appear to be convincing the majority of voters. The strong trading area of the checkpoint (POC) is located in the area of 5,636 points, so a correction could be anticipated this month in the direction of 5,700 points if today's data does not accompany. The day is marked by a series of events that could generate movements in the markets, with the JOLTs survey and the results of important companies as key factors for investors.

Brief drop due to Electrions chaos, then back up a month afterI was checking last elections on 2012, 2016 and 2020. Seems that there is a brief drop before elections each time (5% to 10%) in the overall S&P500 (SPX). This year, seems that drop is not meaningful yet. Regarthless, I think going defensive this week to be heavy in cash. Then buy back into the market if price hits 5400 previous to Dec. It it do, I'll buy back 25% of SPX and wait if the trend still going in the direction to hit ~5000. If it do, might be back fully invested into the market to hope for a bounce back up signal. We can protect ourselves of a 10% loss if I get this one right OR we can miss 5% on profits if the trend keeps going up in Nov and Dec. Messy chart but I put my resistances and trends in here.

Don’t Follow Nobody, Neither Me.Have you ever found yourself making investment decisions based on what everyone else is doing? It’s a common scenario—investors rush into the latest hot stock or abandon a sector because it’s suddenly out of favor. The urge to follow the crowd can be overwhelming, but is it really the best strategy for your portfolio? In the world of investing, trend-chasing—where investors follow market trends without careful consideration—can often feel like a safe bet. After all, if everyone else is doing it, it must be right, right? This behavior, known as herd mentality, is deeply rooted in human psychology. However, in the financial markets, blindly following trends can be dangerous. Trend-chasing can lead to poor investment decisions and, ultimately, harm your portfolio. In this article, we’ll explore the risks of trend-chasing and why it’s crucial to develop a solid investment strategy that resists the pull of the crowd. What Is Trend-Chasing? Trend-chasing is the practice of making investment decisions based on the prevailing direction of the market rather than through careful analysis or a well-thought-out, long-term strategy. Investors engaging in trend-chasing often find themselves buying assets that have recently surged in value, hoping to capitalize on the upward momentum, or selling assets that are declining, fearing further losses. The key characteristic of trend-chasing is its reactive nature—investors make decisions based on what’s happening now, rather than a clear understanding of what the future may hold. A Cautionary Tale: The Dot-Com Bubble A classic example of trend-chasing occurred during the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s. As tech stocks began to soar, countless investors jumped on the bandwagon, pouring money into companies with little to no earnings simply because their stock prices were rising. The euphoria was contagious—no one wanted to miss out on the next big thing. However, when the bubble inevitably burst, those who had chased the trend found themselves with substantial losses as overvalued stocks plummeted back to reality. The Meme Stock Phenomenon More recently, the meme stock phenomenon of 2021 showcased another instance of trend-chasing on a massive scale. Stocks like GameStop and AMC experienced wild price surges driven not by fundamental value but by social media-fueled hype. Retail investors, motivated by online forums and the fear of missing out (FOMO), rushed to buy these stocks, driving their prices to unsustainable levels. While a few early adopters profited handsomely, many others who followed the trend ended up holding overpriced shares when the hype died down, resulting in significant losses. GME Game-Stop 2021 AMC Entertainment 2021 In both cases, the underlying force at play was herd mentality—a psychological phenomenon where individuals mimic the actions of a larger group, often at the expense of their own rational judgment. This herd behavior drives market bubbles, where prices inflate beyond reasonable levels, and eventually, painful corrections occur. By understanding the dangers of trend-chasing and recognizing the role of herd mentality, investors can better guard against making impulsive decisions that may jeopardize their financial well-being. The Psychology Behind Herd Mentality Herd mentality is deeply ingrained in human behavior and significantly impacts how investors make decisions. One of the primary psychological drivers behind herd mentality is the fear of missing out. When investors see others profiting from a particular trend or asset, they often feel an intense urge to join in, fearing they’ll miss out on potential gains if they don’t act quickly. This fear can override logical thinking, leading to impulsive decisions based on emotion rather than careful analysis. Overconfidence is another psychological factor that fuels herd mentality. When a market trend appears to gain momentum, many investors become overly confident in their ability to predict the future. They believe that if the majority is doing something, it must be the right move, and they overestimate their ability to time the market. This overconfidence often blinds investors to the risks associated with their decisions. The Impact on Investment Decisions Herd mentality pushes investors to follow the crowd rather than stick to their well-planned strategies. When everyone else seems to be buying a particular stock or entering a specific market, it can be challenging to resist the pull. As a result, investors may abandon their original investment strategy in favor of what appears to be a winning trend. This can lead to inflated asset prices and bubbles as more investors pile in, often without fully understanding the underlying fundamentals. The problem arises when the trend reverses, leaving those who followed the crowd vulnerable to significant losses. In essence, herd mentality encourages reactive rather than proactive decision-making, often to the detriment of a sound investment strategy. By succumbing to the pressure of the crowd, investors risk making short-sighted choices that could harm their portfolio in the long run. The Risks of Trend-Chasing While the allure of following market trends can be strong, the risks associated with trend-chasing often outweigh the potential rewards. Investors who chase trends are frequently driven by emotion rather than rational analysis, leading to impulsive decisions that compromise long-term financial goals. Although trend-chasing may yield short-term gains, it exposes investors to heightened market volatility and the danger of being caught in a market downturn. Understanding these risks is crucial for developing a disciplined investment strategy that prioritizes long-term success over the fleeting appeal of the latest market trend. Short-Term Gains vs. Long-Term Losses One of the biggest dangers of trend-chasing is the temptation to prioritize short-term gains over long-term portfolio health. While it might seem profitable to jump on a trending stock or sector, this strategy often overlooks the bigger picture. Trend-chasing can lead to buying high during a market surge, only to sell low when the trend reverses. This pattern of behavior—repeated over time—can erode portfolio value and make it difficult to achieve long-term financial goals. Market Volatility Trend-chasing also exposes investors to heightened market risks. Trends are often fueled by speculation and hype rather than sound financial principles. As a result, markets driven by trend-chasing can become extremely volatile. Prices may swing wildly based on news, rumors, or shifts in sentiment, leaving investors who followed the trend vulnerable to sharp downturns. This volatility makes it challenging to predict market movements and increases the likelihood of significant losses. Case Studies: Cryptocurrency Market A prime example is the cryptocurrency market. The rapid rise of Bitcoin and other digital assets attracted a wave of trend-chasers eager to capitalize on the perceived opportunity. However, as seen in the dramatic crash of 2018 and subsequent market fluctuations, those who chased the trend often faced steep losses when the speculative bubble deflated. BTC Bitcoin 2021 SHIBUSD Shiba Inu Token 2021 How to Avoid Trend-Chasing in Your Investment Strategy In the ever-evolving world of investing, resisting the temptation to follow trends can be challenging. The fear of missing out and the influence of herd mentality can drive even the most seasoned investors to make decisions based on market trends rather than sound financial principles. However, by developing a disciplined approach, diversifying your portfolio, and staying informed without reacting impulsively, you can avoid the pitfalls of trend-chasing and create a more resilient investment strategy. Developing a Disciplined Approach The foundation of any successful investment strategy is discipline. This means setting clear financial goals, establishing a plan to achieve them, and sticking to that plan, even when market trends seem enticing. Here are a few tips to help you develop a disciplined approach: Set Clear Objectives Before making any investment decisions, defining your financial goals is essential. Are you investing for retirement, saving for a major purchase, or seeking to grow your wealth over time? Your objectives will shape your investment strategy and help you stay focused. When you have a clear understanding of what you're working toward, you're less likely to be swayed by short-term market trends that don't align with your long-term goals. Create a Well-Defined Investment Plan Once your objectives are set, develop a detailed investment plan outlining your asset allocation, risk tolerance, and time horizon. This plan should serve as your roadmap, guiding your decisions and helping you stay on course. A well-defined plan can act as a buffer against the emotional impulses that often drive trend-chasing behavior. When the market is booming and everyone seems to be jumping on the latest trend, your plan will remind you of your long-term strategy, preventing you from making hasty decisions. Stick to Your Plan in Good Times and Bad Market fluctuations are inevitable, but disciplined investors understand the importance of staying the course. When trends arise, it can be tempting to abandon your plan and chase after quick profits. However, this often leads to buying high and selling low—a recipe for underperformance. By adhering to your plan, you can avoid the emotional rollercoaster of trend-chasing and focus on achieving your long-term objectives. Regularly Review and Adjust Your Plan While discipline is crucial, recognizing when adjustments are needed is also important. Markets change, as do your financial goals and personal circumstances. Regularly reviewing your investment plan ensures it remains aligned with your objectives. However, any adjustments should be made thoughtfully and not in response to short-term trends. This approach allows you to stay disciplined while remaining flexible enough to adapt to changing conditions. Diversification: Mitigating Risks Through a Balanced Portfolio Diversification is one of the most effective ways to protect your portfolio from the risks associated with trend-chasing. By spreading your investments across a variety of asset classes, industries, and geographic regions, you reduce the impact of any single trend or market event on your overall portfolio. Here's how diversification can help you avoid the pitfalls of trend-chasing: Reduce Dependence on a Single Asset or Market Trend-chasing often leads investors to concentrate their investments in a particular asset class or market segment that is currently in vogue. While this can generate short-term gains, it also increases exposure to market volatility. A diversified portfolio, on the other hand, balances risk by spreading investments across different assets, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, and commodities. This diversification can help mitigate losses during market downturns when specific trends may collapse. Balance Risk and Return By diversifying, investors can achieve a more balanced risk-return profile. Different assets respond differently to market conditions, and by holding a mix of investments, you can smooth out the effects of market volatility. This approach allows you to pursue potential gains without exposing yourself to the full brunt of a market downturn. Create a Stable Foundation for Long-Term Growth A well-diversified portfolio can provide a stable foundation for long-term growth. Rather than chasing trends that may lead to short-lived profits, you can focus on building a portfolio designed for sustained performance over time. This stability will help you weather market fluctuations and remain focused on your long-term financial goals. Stay Informed, but Don’t React Impulsively Staying informed about market trends and economic developments is crucial for making sound investment decisions. However, it’s equally important to avoid reacting impulsively to the latest news or trends. Here are some tips for staying informed without falling into the trend-chasing trap: Conduct Thorough Research Before making any investment decisions, ensure you conduct thorough research and analysis. Understand the fundamentals of the assets you are considering and assess whether they align with your long-term goals. This research will help you make informed decisions based on facts rather than emotions. Focus on Fundamentals, Not Headlines While headlines may capture attention, it’s important to focus on the underlying fundamentals that drive asset values. Trends often gain traction based on hype rather than solid financial principles. By prioritizing fundamental analysis, you can better evaluate whether an investment is sound, regardless of its current popularity. Maintain a Long-Term Perspective Finally, keeping a long-term perspective is vital in avoiding trend-chasing. Markets are inherently cyclical, and short-term trends can be misleading. By focusing on your long-term investment strategy and goals, you can avoid getting swept up in the latest market fads. Conclusion In a world where market trends can shift rapidly, it’s essential for investors to recognize the risks of trend-chasing. The allure of quick profits can lead to impulsive decisions driven by emotion rather than careful analysis. By developing a disciplined approach, diversifying your portfolio, and staying informed without reacting impulsively, you can avoid the pitfalls of trend-chasing and work toward achieving your long-term financial goals. Remember, the key to successful investing lies not in following the crowd but in maintaining a clear vision of your financial objectives. So, the next time you feel the urge to follow a market trend, take a step back, assess the situation, and ensure your decisions align with your long-term strategy. Don’t follow nobody, neither me—stay true to your investment principles, and you’ll be better positioned for success in the long run.Educationby FOREXN1444
KEY LEVELS ON SP500💡 Today we analyze the key levels of the S&P 500 for the coming weeks. This week, we do not expect significant pullbacks in the S&P 500, and the price could even rise without approaching the first level. However, we are prepared to make gradual purchases at the beginning of next week. Here are the levels to consider: 1. 5600 points: A likely zone, especially if the Democrats win, adjusting policy expectations. 2. 5280 points: Less likely, but useful to mark in case of an unexpected trend change. 3. 4800 points: A long-term zone in the event of a significant pullback. This analysis is not an investment recommendation. In conclusion, it is most likely that the market will not reach these levels if Trump wins, and everything points to that being the case. However, we have marked them just in case.by AnalisisDeBolsaDiario3
