#S&P500 $GSPC Falls 2.12% to 5528.93The Magnificent Seven tech stocks are no longer outperforming the rest of the 493 stocks in the S&P500. Shares in Nvidia plunged nearly 10% on the first trading day after the Labour Day weekend holiday wiping nearly 300 billion dollars off the firm’s value in the largest single-day value drop in US stock market history. US stock futures (#DJI , #IXIC, #GSPC) edge lower on Tuesday. Markets are looking ahead to the avalanche of economic data due out this week, including August's jobs report this Friday, September 6. Crucial jobs report kicks off a new month: The August jobs report, due out on Friday, will headline economic releases in the week ahead as investors look to see whether the signs of slowing in the July jobs report were overstated or an early warning of a broader slowdown. Updates on job openings and private wage growth are also on the schedule, as well as activity checks from the services and manufacturing sectors. (The S&P hadn't cleared the July high - trading in a narrow range - but this changed today with an clear undercut of this range, and a close at converged 20-day and 50-day MAs support. It would be a good time for a bounce, particularly if there is a bullish candlestick like a dragonfly doji or bullis hammer at these moving averages. Technicals are net bullish).

SP500 1D - DOUBLE TOP = HEADSP500 1D - DOUBLE TOP = HEAD The SP500 is finishing drawing the head of the SHS figure with this double maximum. If in these days it does not manage to break the resistance, the fall can be quite steep to go looking for the 4800 in the first instance and continue going down to 3600, base of the previous shoulder. If the SP500 manages to break the resistance, this figure would be cancelled. As always, it is better to act with a head and do things at the right time.

S&P 500 Bearish Trade Plan 3-4 weeks Overview: The S&P 500 is showing a potential bearish setup over the next 3-4 weeks based on fundamental economic data, seasonal trends, and market positioning. Combined with technical analysis, this trade plan outlines a short bias, with key profit targets at significant market levels. Fundamentals: Several key factors suggest potential downward pressure on the S&P 500 in the near term: Inflation Concerns: Inflation continues to remain above central bank targets, which could force the Federal Reserve to maintain a hawkish stance.Rising interest rates and reduced liquidity in the markets have traditionally led to reduced corporate profitability and weaker stock market performance. US Consumer Spending: Recent data has shown signs of slowing consumer demand as rising interest rates and inflation weigh on disposable incomes. This weakening consumer sentiment could negatively impact corporate earnings, leading to selling pressure in the equity markets. Global Macro Factors: Global supply chain issues, geopolitical tensions, and the potential for further economic slowdowns in Europe and China could exacerbate downside risk in equities. The S&P 500’s exposure to global markets could act as a drag on performance. Earnings Season: Many companies are adjusting their forward earnings estimates lower due to weaker demand and increased costs. This negative earnings guidance could contribute to further downside in the index. Seasonality: Historically, September is one of the weakest months for the S&P 500, and this trend has been amplified in recent years. Here’s a closer look at the data: 5-Year Performance: Over the last five years, September has seen an average decline of -49.9788 points in the S&P 500. This is a significant drop compared to other months. 2-Year Performance: The two-year average shows a massive decline of -180.7979 points in September, reflecting the market's extreme vulnerability during this period. These seasonal trends suggest that traders tend to adopt a risk-off sentiment during September, likely due to various macroeconomic concerns, earnings reports, and upcoming policy announcements. The historical performance implies that we should expect a bearish bias for the rest of September, with potential for recovery in October and November, which are typically stronger months for the S&P 500. COT Data (Commitment of Traders Report): The latest Commitment of Traders (COT) report supports the bearish outlook, as market participants are positioning for potential downside: Commercial Traders (Smart Money): Net Short Position: Commercial traders, typically hedgers and large institutions, are heavily net short with a -29,163 net position. This indicates they expect downside risk and are hedging against a drop in the market. Large Speculators: Speculators, often trend-following hedge funds, hold a significant short position as well, with a net short of -81,908. This reflects an alignment with commercial traders and suggests that sentiment among speculative traders is also bearish. The combination of commercial hedgers and speculative traders holding bearish positions is a strong confirmation of the downside risk. Technical Analysis: Key Levels & Market Structure: Weak High: The recent price action shows the S&P 500 forming a weak high near the 5,700 zone. This failure to create a higher high suggests that the bullish momentum is losing strength, indicating a potential reversal. Premium Zone (Resistance): The price has rejected the premium zone between 5,650 - 5,700, signaling that the market may struggle to break higher. The rejection suggests that sellers have stepped in, adding further pressure to the downside. Break of Structure (BOS): The Break of Structure (BOS) earlier in the chart confirms a shift from a bullish to a bearish trend. This structure break strengthens the case for continued downside momentum. Equilibrium (Fair Value): The equilibrium level around 4,935 represents a natural profit target for short positions. This level is key as it reflects the balance between buyers and sellers and is where the price could consolidate or rebound after a bearish move. Discount Zone (Support): The discount zone between 4,164 and 4,701 acts as a strong support level. Should the bearish trend accelerate, this area would be an ideal target for taking profits or watching for potential bullish reversal signals. Trade Setup: Entry: Short the S&P 500 around the current price level (5,650 - 5,700), as the price has rejected the premium zone and formed a weak high, signaling the potential for further downside. Stop Loss: Place a stop-loss above the premium zone at 5,700 to protect against a breakout higher. Target 1: Equilibrium zone around 4,935.9 for the first profit target. Target 2: If bearish pressure continues, hold the position towards the discount zone between 4,164 - 4,701, where stronger buying interest is likely to emerge. Risk Management: Risk/Reward Ratio: Aim for a 1:6 risk-to-reward ratio, given the significant downside potential. Position Size: Limit risk per trade to 2-3% of your account balance to manage potential volatility.

S&P 500 - Fan Reversal Setting UpThe S&P 500 is forming a Base below the Supply Zone. A Fan is apparent from the origin of the Rally. Three ascending trendlines connect to price action within the base. The Fan reversal begins to set up once price crosses/breaks the 3rd trendline. Price action will be contained within the consolidation, with a possible false break If you look to Volume and Momentum, both show a progressive divergence is in play and are bearish signs. The trigger to short is a clear break of the Support Level at 5560. The bias is for a small correction only (.382 fib), before a break to a new ATH.

Market 101:From the Drama King VIX to the Steady Eddie UtilitiesVolatility Index (VIX) - The Drama King Let’s kick things off with the Volatility Index, aka the market’s drama king. It’s like that one friend who always makes a big deal out of nothing—spiking dramatically whenever the market so much as sneezes. Recently, it shot up faster than a caffeine-fueled trader on Monday morning, but now it’s calming down a bit, hovering around 20.73. Keep an eye on this guy—he’s always a sign of market anxiety like I said, the the fear gauge. If he starts climbing again, it might be time to batten down the hatches. Utilities Sector (XLU) - The Steady Eddie Moving on to the Utilities sector, which is the market’s equivalent of your reliable, always-on-time friend. XLU has been climbing steadily, but just like every other reliable person, it needs a break sometimes. It’s currently chilling around 76.20, looking like it’s taking a well-deserved breather. Nothing too exciting here, but that’s exactly what you want from Utilities—slow and steady wins the race. ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) - The Wild Child Now, let’s talk about ARKK—Cathie Wood’s wild child. This chart is like a rollercoaster at an amusement park: up, down, up, down, and sometimes you’re not sure if you should scream or cheer. After some wild moves, ARKK is sitting around 42.98, but don’t be surprised if it decides to take another loop-de-loop soon. Just remember to strap in and hold on tight. Technology Sector (XLK) - The Overachiever Next up, the Technology sector, which has been the market’s overachiever for quite some time. XLK had been climbing like it’s trying to win the market’s gold star, but recently it’s hit a bit of a speed bump, pulling back to 210.28. No worries though—this sector is like that student who’s always doing extra credit. It’ll likely bounce back in no time, probably while giving the rest of the market a lesson in resilience. Consumer Discretionary Sector (XLY) - The Big Spender Finally, we’ve got the Consumer Discretionary sector, which is the market’s big spender. XLY has been on a shopping spree, but it looks like it might be hitting the credit limit soon. The chart shows some clear support around 184.61, but if it breaks below this, we might see some belt-tightening ahead. Keep an eye on it—everyone loves a spender until the bill comes due. Summary: From the dramatic spikes of the VIX to the steady climb of Utilities, each of these charts has its own personality. Whether you’re dealing with the rollercoaster that is ARKK or the disciplined overachiever in Technology, there’s always something to learn from the market’s diverse cast of characters. Stay sharp, keep your sense of humour and energy, and remember: in the markets, as in life, it’s all about balance.

Likely Route For SPX Good day and or evening my fellow traders and followers! Hope you all have been on the right side of the tracks with your trades so far and are well into profits $$$ I want to share with you what I believe is the continued route for SPX on the Oanda platform. Once price breaks 5493 area, we need to see if we break through 5435.1 area. Next route on hit list brings us down to the beginning of a wide buy zone starting at 5299.5 to 5177.8. This would be the area we could see bulls step up and buy into. As time will tell how that plays out and if there would be enough bull participation to stop the selling. Let the higher TF charts guide away any confusion regarding direction to take , just stick to trend if you use trading to pay your bills. Trickle out profits in percentages of at least 25 or higher at each resistance area to ensure cashflow. Until next time, best of luck in all your trades $$$.

Friday’s SPX Options Chain Already Priced in Today’s DropToday’s sharp 2.2% SPX decline wasn’t a surprise for those who looked closely at the options metrics after Friday’s spot price fakeout . Ahead of the long weekend, market participants priced in the downside with both short- and long-term options . BEFORE TODAY OPEN Put options were nearly twice as expensive as calls at equivalent Expected Move distances before Tuesday's open! BEFORE TODAY CLOSE While today’s drop has led to some call skew on weekly options, suggesting a short-term rebound , the long-term bearish sentiment remains intact. Key unemployment data this week will be crucial for the market’s next move. If you'd like to see the option chain metrics in your charts, be sure to check out our free demo script here:

Ambushed !September has often been a cruel month for the US stock market. Traders returning from the 3 day Labor Day holiday weekend, were "ambushed" by September selling as soon as the opening bell rang today. Nvidia led the market lower, losing 10 %, 279 billion dollars of market value "poofed"..lost in a single day, and the VIX soared back above 20 again. The ambush occurred after a last hour of August run up, just a few days ago, as money managers clamored to get into the market paying up for the privilege. Performance metrics do not suit those money managers left behind. The drop on the chart, has the early look of a "potential" bullish cup and handle pattern. So the game of chicken will now begin for those who think they can outsmart this market. SPX Last 5528.92 9/3/24 THE_UNWIND WOODS OF CONNECTICUT

SPX adjusted to M2 money supplyThe value of stock market indices is highly correlated with the amount of existing money. That is why to measure the economic cycles, I weight the value of the stock market with that of the money supply (M2), obtaining this chart. We see how after 2008, business cycles of about 4 years have been established and that, in addition, we are now in an already mature bullish phase. This bullish phase will conclude with the distribution phase mentioned above, with the first resistances at the maximum value of 2007, and the maximum value trend line that continues since 2011 that has recently broken to the upside. It strikes me that we are not better off now than in 2007 or in 2000, despite all the debt created and the amount of money printed along the way. Take into account that Business cycles and the value of Bitcoin are highly correlated
