SPY Broke Wedge; Textbook Retracement: Rejection Imminent

Updated
Chart says all. Broke channel on Bear Flag, pumped back up to TL, expect throwover. Textbook example:

Ref: Murphy; Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets, Fig 4.10a;

"Example of Rising Support Line becoming resistance. After it has been broken to the downside, usually a support TL will function as resistance on subsequent rallies."
Note
Look at the futures... thanks Trump! ...Moron...!
Note
Closed shorts and re-entered small position as index returned to curve. Gaps tend to fill and this was a big gap, wait a day to see if it retest TL for 2nd time; if this be trend change will know soon. Some EW charters project push to 3015-3055, of course anything is possible in this crazy market, IMO 297 will reject on TL; be careful fgs!

We got a Hanging Man Doji. At the top of a long runup that usually signals more Bear.

Next gap down likely to be a runaway.

Looks like we got a cup forming; I closed puts bought 10 each SPY and QQQ diagonal call spreads; let's see if we get a bounce. Still possible this could spark rally to new ATH; never goes straight down!
Note
Gosh market followed this idea pretty nicely. Futures greening up after midnite.
Note
Opening lower may be an exhaustion gap, we had initiation and runaway gaps on Mon & Tues, let's see!
Note
Yeah very modest selling in open most of the bears went pre-market IMO should close any shorts now when it bulls will be ferocious.
Note
Made nice day trade off the bull trap. This market now on the downtrend and follows my curve as projected nicely. Support is around 2880 -2860 box, to complete a wave 1 down impulse. Wave 2 will give a right shoulder into mid-late May and it might look like all rosy, expect a pretty high retrace, maybe 0.786 - 1.00 Fibo for a double top or high shoulder. Then the monster wave 3 sell in June. Will go off for 3-6 weeks and give a 5-10% correction, possibly a double bottom from 26 Dec. Forget about trade, the Chinese are inscrutable and obviously entering a long-term siege war. They only wait another year- election next year!

Closed out all the longs just in time. Did not expect another big selloff so soon but Donald re-inserted foot-in-mouth. again overnight.

A very fine analysis here shows the narrowing wedge technical breakdown after 25 April; contrasts with prior behavior after similar breaks, and also notes that a huge relief rally could occur if Donald can get his hoof out of mouth, a tall order for him. Especially worrisome is the triple top in Dow with a clear H&S pattern over past 16 months, a topping formation:

Risk is really high, rewards are low. Treasuries pay near 3%.... downside in equities: >10%

Reached the target and bounced. Closed shorts went long in AMD, INTC, QQQ going to wave 2 countertrend move up.
Note
PS It's a Cup & Handle intraday!
Note
Really gratifying when the price follows my chart projection. Made bank off this move. It did get to bottom rim of megaphone; next move? IMO room for one more push down then a relief rally; notice how the highs past 3 days form a down wedge, this will likely pivot off support around 280 at the red/green band interface, completing Wave 1 of mark-down impulse. We do not yet see public participation- this is early distribution phase, a 'D' wave with E to follow. Then the fun begins!
Note
Made another cup intraday IMO the selling pressure is weakening, lows today were retest of Thursday's prices and got a nice bounce out of there. May sell a bit more Monday but I wouldn't bet on it over weekend. Trump probly come out all rosy on Sunday nite so the stock he bought today will go up... manipulator-in-chief.

Getting a B wave retracement, going on 2 days now; these rarely last more than a week, could only bull for 3-5 days, depending. Commerce reports were bearish today and it bulled on Mnuchin rumors after selling on the real news- looks like early signs of economic downturn. What kind of retrace to expect? IDK TBVH but I wouldn't bet on it getting a lot higher than it is now. Maybe another 30 pips on Sand P, maybe not. It's trading at .382 retrace as I write this.

I re-entered shorts today on all three major indexes. In June puts. Shorting weeklies as a hedge, worked out real nice today, took 90% of premium out of the shorts and rolled them up to a tighter spread. All the shorts expire Friday.

The trend is still down and it is a strong ABC wave. Gonna get ugly soon...
