Rip or Dip? SPX at a Crossroads!

📈 Rip or Dip? SPX at a Crossroads! 🚀🔻| SPX Market Analysis 29 Jan 2025

SPX is at an inflection point. Will it rip higher or take a dive? We’ve just rolled into the notorious Feb/Mar correction season, and I can’t help but notice a Bollinger Band W-Bottom potentially setting up on the daily chart.

We saw something eerily similar on the 30-min chart back around the 12th of Jan, which played out beautifully. Could we see a repeat – but on a larger scale? Let’s break it down.

SPX Deeper Dive Analysis:
📊 The SPX Setup: What’s Next?


🔹 Correction Season – Historically, Feb/Mar tends to see some turbulence, making this a crucial time to assess the market’s next big move. What is the next seasonal correction window? Sep/Oct – but let’s deal with one at a time!

🔹 Bollinger Band W-Bottom – A potential W-bottom is forming, which, if it is confirmed, could see price hug the upper Bollinger band in a rip ‘n ride scenario.

🔹 Tag ‘n Turn Says Bullish! – The SPX Income System has done its job. We’ve profited off Monday’s gap down and bear swing, but now the setup suggests a possible bull swing unfolding.

🔹 What About 30-Min Charts? – If you check the 12th Jan move, we saw a similar Bollinger Band structure play out on the smaller time frame, leading to a solid push higher. Déjà vu on the daily charts?

🎯 The Plan Moving Forward

☑ Monitor bullish follow-through – If SPX holds momentum, we could see a breakout and run higher.

☑ Watch for confirmation – A failed breakout or exhaustion candle could hint at a February dip instead of a rip.

☑ Trade the setups, not the emotions – Following the Tag ‘n Turn system keeps us on the right side of the market, bull or bear.

Fun Fact:

📉 Did you know the 1987 stock market crash happened on a Monday? Dubbed Black Monday, the Dow dropped 22.6% in a single day, making it the worst one-day percentage decline in history. The cause? A mix of programmatic trading, high valuations, and market panic.

🔎 The eerie part? The market recovered all losses within two years, proving once again that panic selling rarely pays off!
