SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 5-5-25 : GAP Reversal Pattern

842
Today's pattern suggests the SPY will open with a GAP range from yesterday's candle Body and attempt to reverse the trend we saw last week.

I believe this move will resolve to the downside, as I've been warning of the May 2-5 Major Bottom for many weeks.

I believe the extended uptrend over the last few weeks was pure speculation related to Q1 US earnings. It is hard to argue that traders playing into the Q1 earnings boost didn't play the right side of the trend after watching the markets rally over the past 2+ weeks. But, I still believe the markets will consolidate and attempt to move downward over the next 10- 20+ days.

The one thing that we have to understand is Q1 was almost on auto-pilot from Biden's economy/spending until Trump threw a curveball at the global markets with tariffs.

I don't believe the US & global markets have truly priced in a global -25% to -45% economic contraction because of the ongoing tariff negotiations. It has been reported that shipping rates are down 60% in China. I believe we still need another 30-60+ days to work out the tariff issues and to allow the markets to settle into proper expectations for future economic output/growth.

Because of this, I continue to urge traders to stay cautious.

Sitting on CASH right now (only trading 20% of your total capital) is probably the smartest thing you can do at the moment.

I still expect the July and October 2025 lows to be the base/bottom of the markets, leading to a stronger upward price trend.

Right now, I've very cautious we've just seen a "dead-cat bounce" off recent lows because of Q1 earnings expectations.

Now that we've passed most of the Q1 data - we are staring at Q2 & Q3. What comes next.

I believe Gold/Silver will continue to price in extreme risk factors - resulting in a strong rally through May and into June.

I believe Bitcoin will stall and move back down to the lower consolidation range.

Let's see how things play out this week.

Get some.
