Possible "DIP" into Monday July 7 Tarrif DeadlineHello everyone,
Well we made it. ATH! Well all things must eventually dip. I see a good possibility into next Monday July 7 Tarif deadline plus we are hitting the ATH's prior tops trendline (Red Line)....
I highlight with colored boxes 3 different price targets I think it could dip to before resuming its march higher.
Let's see what happens!
SPX500 at New ATH – Will NFP Fuel the Next Leg Up? SPX500 Outlook: Trade Optimism Fades as Focus Shifts to U.S. Jobs Data
Caution prevails ahead of today’s high-impact U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls report, which could be pivotal for the July rate cut narrative. A weaker print may support risk assets and push SPX500 higher, while a strong report could dampen momentum.
Technical Analysis (SPX500):
SPX500 has printed a new all-time high and is now targeting 6287, especially if the index closes above 6246 on the 1H chart.
As long as price holds above 6225 (pivot), the bias remains bullish, with potential upside targets: 6287 & 6325
However, a 4H close below 6213 would suggest a correction toward: 6190 & 6143
Key Levels:
• Resistance: 6287 / 6325
• Support: 6190 / 6143
Stay alert — today's NFP report could trigger major moves across indices and FX.
SPX : Next Stop @ 6800 :-)Since we are now expecting a delay in the FED cutting, there will be plenty of liquidity to spice things up.
The 'D' @ yellow had worked once before and since it has been 'used up' , its potency had been somewhat reduced.
But have no fear/worry, there would always be more 'D' ahead. The next one at 6,800
Good luck.
USA Economy Long-Term Outlook:The long-term outlook for the U.S. economy , as of mid-2025, is characterized by several key factors and some uncertainty, particularly around tariffs and monetary policy.
GDP Growth: The U.S. economy experienced a contraction in Q1 2025 (down 0.2-0.5% GDP), the first in three years, partly due to a surge in imports and a sharp cutback in consumer spending. Economists anticipate a bounce back in Q2 2025 (forecasted at 3% growth). However, the overall expectation for 2025 is for growth to decelerate significantly (e.g., Vanguard projects 1.5% GDP growth for year-end 2025, EY forecasts 1.5%, Trading Economics 1.7%, J.P. Morgan 2.1%). The second half of 2025 is expected to see a "pronounced demand cliff" due to front-loaded purchases ahead of anticipated trade restrictions.
Inflation: Tariffs are a significant factor impacting inflation. CPI growth is expected to average around 2.9% in 2025 and potentially accelerate to 3.2% in 2026, moderating to around 2.3% by 2029 (Deloitte). Core PCE inflation is expected to climb to the 2.8-3.0% range year-over-year in Q3 2025 - Q3 2026 as tariffs filter through the economy (University of Michigan). The Federal Reserve is closely watching tariff-induced price spikes.
Interest Rates/Monetary Policy: The Federal Reserve is likely on hold with interest rates for now, but two more rate cuts are anticipated later in 2025 if the labor market remains stable (Vanguard). Some forecasts suggest the Fed will resume cutting rates in July 2025, reaching a terminal range of 3.25-3.5% by mid-2026 (University of Michigan). However, the uncertainty around tariffs and their impact on inflation could influence the Fed's decisions.
Labor Market: The labor market has been cooling but remains stable. The unemployment rate is expected to increase throughout 2025, potentially reaching 4.3% (Morningstar), 4.7% (Vanguard), or even 4.8% by year-end (EY). Job gains are predicted to decelerate significantly in the second half of 2025 due to tariffs.
Tariffs: Tariffs are a major source of uncertainty. While some recent de-escalation in trade policy with China has led to positive revisions in the outlook, the long-term impact of tariffs remains a concern, with potential to lower GDP growth, raise inflation, and weaken the labor market. The expectation is that tariffs will be at least modestly higher than at the start of 2025.
In essence, the long-term economic forecast for the USA suggests continued growth, but at a more moderate pace than recent years, with ongoing vigilance required for inflation and labor market dynamics, heavily influenced by evolving tariff policies.
S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis For Week of July 3, 2025Technical Analysis and Outlook:
During this abbreviated trading week, the S&P 500 Index has primarily shown an upward course, hitting and surpassing our target for the Outer Index Rally of 6235. Currently, the index demonstrates a consistent bullish trend, with the following objective for the Outer Index Rally set at 6420, followed by forthcoming targets of 6620 and 6768. Nevertheless, it is crucial to acknowledge the current price action may cause prices to retrace from their current fluctuation to test the Mean Support at 6200 before resuming their upward movement.
S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis For Week of June 27, 2025Technical Analysis and Outlook:
During the current trading week, the S&P 500 Index has predominantly demonstrated an upward trajectory, surpassing the Mean Resistance level of 6046, the Outer Index Rally target of 6073, and the critical Key Resistance threshold of 6150. Currently, the index is exhibiting a bullish trend, indicating potential movement towards the Outer Index Rally objective of 6235. However, it is essential to note that there is a substantial probability that prices may retract from their current levels to test the Mean Support at 6136 before experiencing a resurgence.
S&P 500 hits fresh records: Levels to watchBreaking its February peak, the S&P 500 has joined the Nasdaq 100 in hitting a new record high this week. The latest gains came on the back of a sharp de-escalation in the Middle East and mounting pressure on the Fed to cut rates.
They question is whether it will kick on from here or we go back lower given that trade uncertainty is still unresolved. Indeed, there’s the upcoming 9 July deadline, when the current reciprocal tariff truce is due to expire. Unless it’s extended—or replaced by something more concrete—we could be in for another wave of trade tensions.
It is also worth remembering the ever-looming US fiscal showdown. Trump’s much-touted spending bill—nicknamed the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—is targeting a Senate vote by the 4th of July. If passed, it could reignite concerns about ballooning deficits and inflationary pressure.
Anyway, from a purely technical analysis point of view, the path of least resistance continues to remain to the upside. Thus, we will concentrate on dip buying strategy than looking for a potential top - until markets make lower lows and lower highs again.
With that in mind, some of the key support levels to watch include the following:
6069 - the mid-June high, which may now turn into support on a potential re-test from above
6000 - this marks the launch pad of the latest rally and marks the 21-day exponential average
5908 - this week's low, now the line in the sand. It wouldn’t make sense for the market to go below this level if the trend is still bullish.
Meanwhile, on the upside:
6169 is the first target, marking the 161.8% Fib extension of the most recent downswing
6200 is the next logical upside target given that this is the next round handle above February’s peak of 6148

SPX : A reminderJust a follow-up reminder of what was shared on 18 May.
Price is moving as anticipated - soon to enter the blow-off zone.
Be careful. Be bold.
Over on the EURUSD - what can we expect? Actually, I can see that the price is also moving along - a bit challenging to know when to move in, until .........
Good luck.
Market crash looming - Fractal Echo of 2007 - 2025 S&P 500 In what other case could the "market" be here if it wasn't centrally rigged?
Geopolitics aside. The 2025 vs. 2007 numerological equivalence ("9" year) shows the power of 9 taking over: the end of a rigged bull market.
Chart overlays the S&P 500 price action from 2023–2025 (white line) with that of the 2006–2008 pre-GFC period (red line), highlighting an uncanny fractal similarity in structure, tempo, and momentum. The visual suggests that 2025 (numerologically marked as a “9” year, like 2007) may be echoing the same setup seen before the 2008 financial crisis: just massively worse.
🇺🇸 America at the Crossroads: Golden Age or Great Reset? As the S&P 500 crosses 6,000 , investors celebrate yet another all-time high. But beneath the surface of this rally lies an uncomfortable truth: we are standing at a national and market inflection point.
This isn’t just another leg up. This is the top of a century-long trend channel, a moment where all prior historical peaks have led to sharp reversion . Will this time be different?
📉 Or are we heading into the final blow-off top of a fiat-fueled bull market ?
📈 Or is this the birth of a new nominal supercycle — a “Golden Age” driven by AI, deglobalization, and fiscal firehoses?
📊 The Chart That Frames the Future
This chart stretches back to 1926. Price now presses against the upper blue boundary , just like in:
1929 → Great Depression
2000 → Dot-com Crash
2021 → Post-COVID Inflation Panic
Every previous touch has ended in multi-year mean reversion . Will we now break out — or break down?
🕰️ The Fiat Currency Clock Is Ticking
“The average lifespan of a fiat currency is 80–100 years.”
The U.S. defaulted on gold bonds in 199 and the U.S. dollar was untethered from gold in 1971. We're many years into a fiat system. Every fiat regime in history has collapsed under debt, inflation, and loss of confidence .
📉 K-Shaped Economy and the Strained Consumer
Since 2008, monetary policy has disproportionately enriched capital holders. Asset owners got rich. Wage earners stagnated.
Now we see:
-Record-high credit card interest
-Rising consumer delinquencies
-Real wages trailing inflation
This is not a healthy economy — it’s a two-speed system with widening fractures.
📈 The Most Expensive Market in History?
CAPE Ratio : ~33x — rivaling 1929 and 2000
ZIRP is gone , yet valuations remain elevated
Investors are pushed out the risk curve by low real bond yields
This is the result of TINA (There Is No Alternative) — but that narrative is fragile.
🏦 Cracks in the Core: Treasuries and Liquidity
The U.S. Treasury market is flashing red:
Weakening auction demand
Foreign buyers (like China, Japan) stepping back
Bank of Japan may be forced to liquidate U.S. debt
Liquidity is thinning — just like in 2007
🤖 AI and the Accelerating Wealth Gap
AI is a double-edged sword:
It boosts productivity
But it eliminates mid-skill jobs
It consolidates wealth into a few mega-cap tech monopolies
And it strains an already outdated energy grid
AI could fuel inequality and fragility .
🌍 End of Globalization and Rise of BRICS
The BRICS alliance is actively challenging dollar hegemony
Trade is shifting to commodity-backed and bilateral settlement
U.S. foreign policy is being stress-tested on multiple fronts (Ukraine, Taiwan, Middle East)
The post-WWII order is unraveling. And America must adapt — or lose ground.
⚠️ Blow-Off Top Before the Storm?
This market feels like a blow-off top :
Narrow breadth
Retail mania
AI euphoria
Massive fiscal deficits
All-time high valuations
Next step? A potential deflationary bust , followed by a stimulus-fueled inflationary wave — especially in energy and commodities.
⚡ Power Grid Risk in an Electrified World
AI and EVs demand **enormous energy inputs**. But:
U.S. grid is **underdeveloped**
Transmission infrastructure is outdated
Blackouts are increasing
China, meanwhile, has been quietly building resilient grid systems for over a decade taking advantage of Nuclear, while The U.S. risks falling behind.
🌀 The Fourth Turning: Crisis as Catalyst
“History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” – Mark Twain
According to Fourth Turning theory, we are nearing the climax of a ~100-year generational cycle — a period marked by institutional breakdown, global conflict, and radical transformation. Each cycle contains four “turnings,” and we are now deep into the fourth: the Crisis phase.
The current Fourth Turning began in 2008 with the Global Financial Crisis. It is expected to resolve sometime between 2025 and the early 2030s — a period of upheaval that mirrors previous turning points such as:
The Great Depression & World War II (1929–1946)
The American Civil War (1861–1865)
The Revolutionary War (1775–1794)
As Neil Howe writes in The Fourth Turning Is Here (2023):
“Each Fourth Turning is a time of radical disruption — a time when an old order is replaced by a new one, often through war, collapse, or revolution. ”
Today, we face:
Political polarization at generational extremes
Sovereign debt levels previously only seen during world wars
Eroding trust in media, financial institutions, and government
Technological upheaval via AI and automation
Geopolitical flashpoints from Ukraine to Taiwan
The market, the dollar, and our political system are not outside this cycle — they are central to it.
The question is no longer whether we are in a transformation, but:
What kind of world will emerge on the other side?
🚧 The Fork in the Road: Two Futures
We stand at a fork in the road — not just for markets, but for **America’s future**:
🟢 Path 1: The Breakout – Golden Age
AI revolution supercharges GDP
Commodities rise but wages lag
Treasury/Fed normalize debt via inflation
S&P and assets soar in **nominal terms**, even if real value lags
🔴 Path 2: The Reversion – Great Reset
Credit cycle breaks
Liquidity vanishes
Markets mean revert 40–60%
Global capital flees to safety
🧠 Final Thought: Don’t Chase the Top
“At the top of a long-term channel, humility is a better strategy than hubris.”
Now is not the time to blindly chase momentum. Whether we break out or break down, the risks are rising — and history offers few second chances after peaks like this.
We stand not only at a technical inflection, but at a civilizational one.
The Fourth Turning is reaching its apex, and markets are reflecting that tension — between collapse and rebirth, between order and entropy.
📌 Hedge.
📌 Diversify.
📌 Prepare.
Because one way or another, America is crossing a threshold — and there’s no going back.
SPX is overheated, a correction is necessary📉 Market Update: No, It Has Nothing to Do with Trump
This move has nothing to do with Trump’s dramatic announcements. The reality is simple: the MACD on the daily chart is overheated, and a healthy correction is needed — likely down to the 5,520 level — before resuming the uptrend.
Now, does it surprise anyone that Trump acts like a PR agent for his investors? He always seems to drop “bad news” at the exact moment the charts call for a pullback. My guess? They're shorting right now.
🪙 Bitcoin Stalling
CRYPTOCAP:BTC is also losing momentum, and looks like it’s in need of a short-term correction as well. This suggests a week of consolidation ahead for the whole crypto market.
But let’s be clear:
🚀 The Bull Market Is Not Over
The weekly charts remain very bullish, and this trend could last another 4–6 months. The macro bullish structure for crypto remains intact.
However, in TradFi, there are cracks:
🔻 20-year bonds sold at 5.1% — a major recession red flag
💸 Tariffs are putting pressure on global trade
📉 The entire traditional market is starting to de-risk
🔮 What to Expect
Short-term correction to ~5,518 (first bottom target)
A possible rebound after healthy consolidation
A continued uptrend in crypto unless key support breaks
I’ll publish a new update when conditions change.
📌 Follow me to stay ahead of the market. And as always: DYOR.

S&P 500 (SPX) 1M next week?The S&P 500 is pulling back from a key resistance after completing a bearish AB=CD pattern on the monthly chart. Price action suggests a potential correction toward the 4662–4700 zone, aligning with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, which may serve as a key area for bullish reaccumulation. Momentum indicators show bearish divergence, hinting at a cooling rally.
Fundamentally, the index remains supported by strong earnings in tech and AI sectors, but risks persist from elevated interest rates, sticky inflation, and potential Fed policy shifts. A pullback into the 4662–4700 zone may offer a medium-term setup for continuation toward 5198 and potentially 5338. A breakdown below 4662 would invalidate the bullish structure and shift focus to lower Fibonacci levels.
S&P 500 , UPDATE CHART Uptrend
I closed all my open positions when the price was near the All-Time High (ATH) and observed a bearish candle at the end of June 11th. Now, the chart is attempting to break the resistance (S/R) level again. However, I've noticed a divergence between the main chart and the Awesome Oscillator (AO), which leads me to believe we will either see a correction below this level or a pullback after a potential breakout. I am waiting for one of these scenarios to materialize before re-entering with new buying positions.
