S&P 500 Technical Analysis Ascending Triangle vs Rising Wedge I've identified two potential patterns on the S&P 500 SP:SPX chart: Ascending Triangle (blue trendlines): Higher lows and flat highs, with breakout potential above the flat top or a breakdown below the higher lows. Indicated by blue arrows. Rising Wedge Developing (red trend lines and arrows): Higher highs and higher lows, with a potential bearish breakout below the lower trend line or a less common bullish breakout above the upper trend line. Red arrows highlight the touch points on the rising wedge pattern. Pattern Rules: For a valid pattern, the following rules apply: Ascending Triangle: At least two higher lows Flat highs Decreasing volume Breakout above the flat top or breakdown below the higher lows Rising Wedge: At least three touch points on each trend line (I will use as few as 2) Higher highs and higher lows Decreasing volume Breakout below the lower trend line or above the upper trend line (less common) Quick Review for Beginners: New to chart patterns? Here's a quick rundown: Higher lows: A series of lows that are higher than the previous ones. Flat highs: A series of highs that are roughly the same level. Decreasing volume: The trading volume decreases as the pattern forms. Breakout: When the price moves above or below the pattern's boundary. Trend lines: Lines drawn to connect the highs or lows of a pattern. Keep in mind that chart patterns are not a guarantee of future price movements, but rather a tool to help identify potential trends and trading opportunities.

S&P 500: Gains Driven by Data, Eyes on Key Events Next WeekS&P 500: Gains Driven by Data, Eyes on Key Events Next Week The S&P 500 ended the week on a positive note, buoyed by strong economic data, robust corporate earnings, and supportive seasonality. However, investors are shifting their focus to critical upcoming events: the FOMC meeting on Tuesday and the PCE inflation report on Wednesday. These events have the potential to set the tone for the markets for the remainder of the year. Mixed Economic Data The past week brought a blend of economic data, with some encouraging signals and a few disappointments: Initial Jobless Claims (Nov. 16): At 213K, the result came in better than the 220K consensus, underscoring the resilience of the labor market and reducing recession fears. Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index (Nov.): Disappointed at -5.5 against expectations of 8, reflecting continued weakness in the manufacturing sector. Michigan Consumer Sentiment Final (Nov.): Came in at 71.8, below the 73.7 forecast, indicating a slight dip in consumer confidence. S&P Global Services PMI Flash (Nov.): Surprised to the upside with a reading of 57.0, exceeding the expected 55.2, highlighting the strength of the services sector. Nvidia Shines Bright Corporate earnings added to the bullish sentiment, led by Nvidia's impressive Q3 results. The company reported revenue of 35.08 billion dollars, significantly above the consensus estimate of 33.17 billion dollars. As a leader in AI-related technology and semiconductors, Nvidia's results lifted the broader tech sector and contributed to the S&P 500’s gains. Market Sentiment and Seasonality The Fear & Greed Index currently stands at 61, in the "Greed" zone, indicating a risk-on environment as investors show confidence in equities. Seasonality also plays a crucial role. Historically, the S&P 500 benefits from end-of-year trends, especially in an election year, when policymakers often aim to maintain market stability. Challenges Ahead While the current momentum is positive, the market faces significant tests next week with two major events: FOMC Meeting (Tuesday): The Federal Reserve’s policy decisions and commentary will be in the spotlight. Investors will look for signals on whether the Fed plans to pause or keep the door open for further rate hikes in 2024. PCE Inflation Report (Wednesday): The core PCE inflation data, the Fed's preferred measure of price pressures, could shape expectations for monetary policy. A higher-than-expected reading might increase concerns about further tightening, while a lower figure would reinforce the soft landing narrative. Lingering Risks In addition to the upcoming macroeconomic events, investors remain wary of: Trade Policy: Former President Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on imported goods could stoke inflation and weigh on economic growth. Geopolitics: The ongoing risk of escalation in the Ukraine conflict continues to loom over global markets. Soft Landing: The Baseline Scenario Looking at the current data, the S&P 500 appears to be on the path to a soft landing, supported by a strong labor market and robust technology sector performance. Favorable seasonality—both year-end trends and election-year dynamics—further bolsters the case for continued gains, which remains the baseline scenario for now. Conclusion The S&P 500 has shown strength, but next week’s FOMC meeting and PCE inflation report could reshape market dynamics. The key question is whether the data will support the soft landing narrative or signal a need for further monetary tightening. What are your thoughts on the S&P 500’s outlook given the upcoming Fed meeting and inflation data? Will the index sustain its rally, or are we in for increased volatility? Share your insights in the comments.

SPX: back on a trackTwo weeks ago markets passed through sort of a short term stress, related mostly to new names in the US administration, but it did not take too much time until the initial fear passed away. Markets were back on a track during the previous week. The S&P 500 made a move from 5.865 up to 5.969, where the index is ending the week. Interestingly, tech companies were not the one to shine this week, however, the market switched attention toward the industrial and consumer sectors. In this sense, market favorite Nvidia lost 3,2%, while Alphabet dropped by 1,7%. Analysts are commenting that such a trend might continue till the year-end, as investors are turning their attention toward the more cyclical sectors. On the other hand, analysts from Swiss UBS bank commented that they continued to stay bullish on tech companies, especially those related to AI. Analysts specifically mentioned NVDA. Still, they are pointing toward the potential risk in the year 2025, which are related to “the product transition and tariff-related uncertainties”.

S&P 500 index short term outlookThe S&P 500 Index (SPX) is trading within an ascending channel on its daily chart, signaling a continuation of the bullish trend. This structure is defined by parallel rising trendlines connecting higher highs and higher lows, indicating strong buyer interest and sustained momentum. Recent price action shows a breakout above minor resistance near the 5,900 level, confirming bullish sentiment. The index is currently moving toward the midpoint of the channel, with potential to test the upper boundary near 6,100. The lower trendline offers solid support, maintaining the channel's integrity. Volume will be crucial in validating any further upward moves. Increased volume during an advance toward the upper boundary would strengthen the bullish case, while declining volume may indicate consolidation or a pause in the trend. For traders, entering a long position while the index remains in the channel could be a viable strategy. A breakout above the upper boundary could present additional upside potential, with profit targets based on the channel's height projected upward. Stop-loss orders can be placed below the lower trendline or the most recent swing low near the 5,800 level to manage risk. This setup suggests the SPX is poised for continued gains, provided the channel remains intact. However, a break below the lower trendline could signal a reversal, requiring caution and adjustment of trading strategies.

The prospect of a recession and a catastrophic market collapseThe prospect of a recession and a catastrophic market collapse looms large. All who are alert to the state of the financial markets cannot fail to recognise that this is an inevitability, following the past few years of flagrant profligacy on the part of the Biden administration and the reckless policies of the Federal Reserve, whose incessant money printing has wrought havoc. The crash I anticipate will likely see a fall of fifty per cent in market values, though it may well prove to be far worse, perhaps as severe as seventy five per cent. It seems probable that this event will unfold at some point in 2025, possibly around September or October, and endure for a number of months. However, it could come much sooner. Inflation, far from abating, is once again on the rise, and we are now mired in stagflation. The outcome is all but certain: there is no remedy, no action the Federal Reserve may take, that will avert the consequences of this disastrous course.

Could we see another drop on SPX500USD?Hi traders, Last week SPX500USD made the correction up like I've said in my outlook. So next week we could see another drop into the Daily FVG lower to finish the correction pattern. Trade idea: Wait for the correction up to finish and make a change in orderflow to bearish. After that wait for a correction up on a lower timeframe and trade (short term) shorts. If you want to see more from my analysis, please make sure to follow me, give a like and respectful comment. This shared post is only my point of view on what could be the next move in this pair based on my analysis. I do not provide trade signals. Don't be emotional, just trade! Eduwave
