Trader thoughts - make or break time for US equity marketsAfter the bullish breakout of the multi-month wedge pattern, as well as the upside break of the range highs, we’re seeing better two-way flow and consolidation in the US500 – On the daily, we’re yet to see a bearish MA crossover (3-EMA vs 8-EMA) and the 5-day ROC is still positive, which keeps me holding a modest bullish bias, but we’re back testing the former breakout at 3912.
It’s make-or-break time, and while the current price on our charts represents the strong after-hours performance from Microsoft and Alphabet, the bulls need the index to push through 4000 – where potentially we can see a trend develop. Options market makers are short gamma, and while the S&P500 futures bid-offer spread has improved, the same can’t be said for depth at touch price and the propensity to move the market causing exacerbated moves on any size orders is there.
US earnings are coming in rapidly and with 30% of the S&P500 having now reported Q2 earnings, we’ve seen 70% beating on EPS and 60% on sales. Sounds impressive, but this is modestly below the long-term trend in beats – analysts are always low-ball in their calls. We haven’t yet seen sizeable consensus downgrades to FY EPS assumptions and maybe that comes, but its hard to have a fundamental conviction that we’ve seen a definitive low in the equity market until consensus earnings have been cut – we know it’s coming, it’s a matter of when and how severe.
In the session ahead we get numbers from Meta platforms in the post-market trade, where the implied move on the day (priced from options) is 12.6%, as well as QUALCOMM (implied move of 8%). Apple (5.1%) and Amazon will potentially move the dial tomorrow – so if trading the index or individual equity, make sure you’re in front of the screens between 6:00 am and 06:30 am AEST. It could get lively.
The other big factor is the FOMC meeting (Thursday 4 am) and Chair Powell’s presser. Last month the US500 fell 2.8% in the following 6 hours from the FOMC statement, although this statement should be about nuance, than sweeping changes.
From a central bank system liquidity perspective we know the Fed’s QT program ramps up to full capacity in September and this means excess reverses will likely fall – this has typically resulted in a headwind to equity markets, and if the liabilities on the Fed’s balance sheet turn lower again then I suspect the NAS100 and US500 will follow.
So, there are many reasons to think we’ve not hit a low and that we turn back through 3800 supports, but price is true and if the buyers can build then we could see trending conditions. As always, be open to whatever will be will be.
Stocks Pulling Back, Awaiting FOMCStocks have retraced from relative highs at 4009. We have several red triangles on the KRI indicating some stiff resistance at 4009 and 3978. Volatility has consolidated quite a bit, which is understandable before the FOMC, today. Note that some sources are predicting a 100bps hike, but it should come in at least 75bps. This is largely priced in, but we should anticipate some volatility either way. We should have support at 3909 or in the 3800's. If we are able to break out we must first definitively break 4009, then there is a vacuum zone to 4068.
Rejected! Next Stop Point Of Control!When taking a look at the S&P500 on the Daily TF, we can see that there was a clear rejection from the Volume area high (Blueish line above). The next stop will be the point of control (Red line). Most of the market does follow this chart so before you short, double-check their chart.

Stocks Hit ResistanceThe S&P 500 broke out, testing and rejecting 4000 as we anticipated Friday. We identified 4009 as a likely target, and the S&P 500 hit this perfectly, before retracing a bit. We are seeing the price action round off and potentially a small head and shoulders pattern forming, so watch for a retracement, which could present a buying opportunity. We should have support from 3937, a relative high if so. If we are able to break out again, there is a vacuum zone to 4068, which would be our next target.
Stock Rally Meets ResistanceStocks keep edging higher, but the rally is increasingly more labored, as we struggle through resistance levels. The price action is 'rounding off' which suggests that a retracement may be near. If so, 3937 or 3909 are reasonable targets. However, we are bordering on a vacuum zone to higher levels, the next target being 4068, which would coincide with lows of the range the S&P 500 held in early June. If we are able to punch through current levels of resistance we should see strong momentum at open, otherwise as retracement is likely.
SPX Daily TA BullishSPX Daily bullish. Recommended ratio: 90% SPX, 10% Cash. *Equities, Cryptos, Metals, Oil, Treasuries and EURO are slightly up today as DXY and VIX continue their market correction. Equities continue to go up on fading concerns of a recession paired with more strong earnings ( Tesla beat on both earnings and revenue ) but face a week of anticipated volatility with big tech companies (Meta on Wednesday and Amazon and Apple on Thursday) set to report earnings next week. For context: Netflix just reported a beat on earnings (earnings were lower in Q2 then in Q1) and miss on revenue after completing their second round of layoffs and experiencing its second consecutive quarter of declining new subscribers ; Snapchat also reported a beat on earnings (no change from Q1 and Q2) and miss on revenue while announcing they will slow hiring . This and the worsening energy crisis in Europe that is expected to get worse are pointing to increased volatility next week. Putin suggested that whether or not the Nord Stream returns to full capacity depends on how the Canadians handle the repair of a pipeline turbine and how the Germans handle sanctions regarding transporting the turbine and maintaining the pipeline. The EU continues to contend that Russia had reduced the Nord Stream's capacity by 40% even prior to scheduled maintenance and that punishing the EU economy with a winter energy crisis is part of Russia's plan. The ECB raised their central bank interest rate for the first time in 11 years from 50bps from -0.50% to 0% in response to a June 8.6% inflation reading; with a looming energy crisis the EU may soon learn this may not be enough. Key Dates next week: FOMC Statement release 07/27 at 2pm (EST), Meta Earnings Report 07/27, and Amazon and Apple Earnings Report 07/28.* Price is currently trending up at ~$4k and flipped $3938 resistance to support in today's session while also reclaiming the descending channel from August 2021 at the same level ($3938 resistance-turned-support). Volume remains Moderate (high) and has favored buyers for three consecutive sessions now at this critical price juncture, this is bullish. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $3734, this margin is mildly bearish at the moment. RSI is currently trending up at 60 with no signs of peak formation; the next resistance is at 68 but RSI still hasn't technically established 53 as support so a downward correction cannot be ruled out. Stochastic remains bullish and is currently testing max top where it can coast in the 'bullish autobahn' for a few sessions. MACD remains bullish and is currently trending up at 1.60 as it breaks out above -11 resistance, if it can continue the breakout then the next resistance is at 11. ADX is currently trending down slightly and beginning to form a soft trough at 16 as Price pushes higher, this is mildly bullish; if ADX can begin trending up as Price continues going higher, this would be bullish. If Price is able to continue up then the next likely target is a retest of $4175 resistance for the first time since early June 2022. However, if Price breaks down here, it will likely retest the lower trendline of the descending channel from August 2021 at ~$3900 . Mental Stop Loss: (one close below) $3900.
Stocks ConsolidateStocks are consolidating at highs. Volatility has constricted immensely and we have been holding this narrow range for the past two days. This suggests that a breakout is imminent. The Kovach OBV has slumped and we are at highs, where we will encounter resistance. Unless sufficient momentum can come through we should break down to 3909 or 3825. If we are able to break out, then 4068 is the next target.
Can the S&P 500 Maintain the Rally?The S&P 500 has broken out, testing the very top of the range it has established this month. As predicted yeseterday, we hit our target of 3909. Momentum continued and we were able to hit 3963, before a brief retracement took us back to support in the low 3900's. The Kovach OBV is still flat, suggesting we will need more momentum to continue the rally. Watch for momentum at open. We are still at resistance from the top of the range and if we don't see much momentum at open, we can easily retrace back to support at 3810 or so. If we are able to break out, we only have a few more levels above until the 4K handle which is the next target.
SPX Daily TA Neutral BullishSPX Daily neutral with a bullish bias. Recommended ratio: 55% SPX, 45% Cash. * June Housing Starts came in lower than May (1.591M) at 1.559M and under the consensus estimate of 1.58M, implying that the housing market is starting to cool off as new home buyers appear to be increasingly fearful of a "technical" recession this year. June Building Permits came in fractionally lower than in May (1.695M) at 1.685M and over the consensus estimate of 1.65M, though not as significant of a reduction from the prior month this too is indicative of a housing market cool down in the second half of 2022. Both numbers can still be revised up or down but as it stands now, the demand cool down in the housing market is mildly bullish because it shows that the Fed's hawkish monetary policy is having its intended effect on markets. More clarity will be provided regarding whether or not this points to a recession when the July Jobs report (Employment Situation) is released at 830am (EST) on 08/05/22. Q2 earnings season has gotten off to a bullish start with banks (BOA, Citi) and certain pharmaceutical (J&J) and consumer retail (Hasbro) companies beating estimates but forecasts for the second half of the year remain cloudy. The Senate is scheduled to vote on the CHIPS for America Act today and, with some potential modifications, is expected to pass it by this week or next (if you used the Pelosi indicator congratulations on this one). Russia has apparently been seen restarting gas flows from Russia to Germany (after "scheduled maintenance") via the Nord Stream pipeline but at a reduced capacity; Russia claims that delays in repairs of a turbine sent to Canada are reasons for a 40% cut in capacity but German officials are saying that the turbine is just a replacement part that was supposed to be installed in September. Cryptos, Equities, Oil, Treasuries and the Euro are up today while DXY, VIX and Agriculture are down and Gold is relatively flat. In other news, on Bloomberg TV today, SEC Chair Gary Gensler once again floated the idea of banning payment for order flow and made mention of rampant noncompliance in the crypto industry that will be of chief importance to the SEC in the coming months.* Price is currently testing the 50 MA + lower trendline of the descending channel from August 2021 as resistance at $3938 minor resistance; additionally, Price closed above the uptrend line from 06/16 (~$3900) which currently gives PA a bullish tilt. Volume remains Moderate and after today's green close has favored buyers in seven of the last ten sessions; this is bullish. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $3721, this margin is neutral at the moment. RSI is currently trending up at 55 as it technically tests 53 resistance; the next resistance is at 68. Stochastic remains bullish and is currently testing 76 resistance with no signs of peak formation, the next resistance after that is max top. MACD remains bullish and is currently trending up at -21 as it approaches a retest of -11 resistance (last time it retest -11 was 06/08); additionally, MACD is on the verge of reestablishing support at the uptrend line from March 2020 (~-35). ADX is currently trending down at 17 as Price is pushing higher, this is mildly bullish at the moment; if ADX is able to bounce here as Price continues higher, this would be bullish. If Price is able to break above $3938 resistance and turn it to support (it's already breaking above the 50 MA), the next likely target is a retest of $4175 resistance . However, if Price is rejected here then it will likely retest $3707 minor support before potentially heading lower to $3500 minor support . Mental Stop Loss: (one close below) $3906.
Stocks Fail to Break OutAs anticipated yesterday, the S&P 500 has rejected highs and sought support 3810, just under the mid point of the range the S&P 500 has been holding for July. This retracement was highly probable because we did not see the momentum follow through at open that it would take to break out higher. From here, we could test lows again, around 3737, which should hold as a floor. If momentum returns, we could test highs again at 3909, and potentially form a bull wedge pattern at this level which could indicate a potential breakout later this week.
Can Stocks Break Out??Stocks have rallied, with the S&P topping out at 3909. We have completely retraced the range, as recession fears and soaring inflation scared market participants last week causing a dip that tested lows at 3737. After breaking through this level and testing the next level below at 3714, we promptly pivoted, and retraced losses completely. However, we are running into resistance at 3909, and resistance is building confirmed by several red triangles on the KRI. The Kovach OBV has picked up a bit, but it will take more momentum to break through to higher levels. Resistance above is thin, and there are only three levels above before the 4000 handle. If we fail to break resistance, we should find support at roughly the midpoint of the range, at 3848, or again at lows at 3714.
Stocks Continue to RangeStocks have found support off lows after the selloff yesterday. Nearly double digit CPI did not fare well for stocks, with some market participants pricing in a 100 bps rate hike at the FOMC later this month. We at pivoted at 3714 after breaking lows at 3739. Currently, it appears that we are making a run back to the midpoint of the range but are struggling with resistance at 3810. If we are able to punch through this resistance, then we could make a run for the highs of the range at 3909. Othwerise, we expect 3714 to provide support, then 3694 if it caves.
Inflation Weighs on StocksAs anticipated yesterday, inflation data came in very close to double digits, which rocked stocks. Traders are now pricing in the potentiality of a 100 bps rate hike at the next FOMC meeting in late July , the largest increase since the 1990's . This has weighed on stocks which have tested the lower bounds of the range. So far we are seeing good support from around 3737, with confirmation from a green triangle on the KRI. The Kovach OBV has slumped over with the selloff, but we do appear to have bottomed for now with current levels of support. If we selloff further, we could test lows at 3645. If we pivot from here, we could retest the highs of the range at 3909 or 3937.
Stocks Level Off; Await CPIThe S&P 500 has continued to retrace, leveling off around 3810. We are seeing good support here confirmed by green triangles on the KRI. The Kovach OBV has flatlined, suggesting we need more momentum to come through before anything exciting happens. We will need to wait for CPI to be released at 8:30 AM EST. As we discussed yesterday, the markets are awaiting this data point, and will likely be quiet until then across all asset classes. All eyes are on this print, as we neared double digits last time, and recent European CPI had a similar reading. If we are able to rally, then 3937 is a likely ceiling. If we selloff further, then 3737 should be considered a floor.

Stocks Await Inflation DataStocks retraced as anticipate yesterday. We fell exactly to the intermediary level of support we suggested yesterday, at 3825. The Kovach OBV has topped and rounded off, suggesting the weak momentum we saw last week has dissipated for now. We won't expect to see any significant moves, as the markets are anticipating CPI data tomorrow. With all eyes being on inflation and the print expected to potentially read in the double digits as per the last reading and in Europe , this could spell another hit for stocks tomorrow. If we are able to rally, then 3937 is a likely ceiling. If we selloff further, then 3737 should be considered a floor.
SPX Daily TA Neutral BullishSPX Daily neutral with a bullish bias. Recommended ratio: 52% SPX, 48% Cash. * June CPI report is scheduled for release at 830am on 07/13 and the consensus estimate is 8.8%, if the number comes in higher than that (which many pundits are predicting) then a market sell-off is to be expected. The Euro continues to bleed as it approaches parity with USD for the first time in 20 years as USD and RUB both edge higher. Oil, Gold, Cryptos, Treasuries and Equities are all down as global inflation numbers keep coming in higher; the VIX is also higher. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson resigned; Sri Lanka's economy is currently collapsing due to bankruptcy as their nation endures food and fuel shortages; Iran appears to be pushing forward with uranium enrichment while strengthening Yemeni ties - making Israel, UAE and Saudi Arabia become increasingly fearful and potentially willing to collaborate defensively; Russia is gradually expanding through the Donbas region (with Donetsk being one of the last strongholds to prevent annexation of the Eastern Oblast) while Lithuania enters the fray by blocking trade/transit between Russia and Kaliningrad - Putin also recently stated that the offensive against Ukraine has barely begun; and lastly the situation between China and Taiwan appears to be escalating month to month while mainland China is still dealing with 'Zero-Covid' and recent civil unrest from Chinese bank clients who have had their assets frozen. That said, the bearish catalysts keep piling up as financial markets continue looking for a bottom; so at this point in time it's reasonable to say that financial markets are still at the whim of the Federal Reserve, and because the Fed isn't done moving to a 'restrictive monetary policy' it's therefore reasonable to assume that there is more potential downside. However, it's prudent to remain vigilant because of one question, at what point have financial markets already priced in a recession?* Price is currently testing the uptrend line from 06/16 at ~$3850 after being rejected by the lower trendline of the descending channel from August 2021 at ~$3925 for a second time in a month. Volume remains Moderate and is currently on track to break a five day streak of buyer dominance if it can close today's session in the red; according to Volume Profile, Price is also currently facing resistance at the third largest supply/demand zone on the chart. Parabolic SAR flips bearish at $3725, this margin is neutral at the moment. RSI is currently trending down at 46 after being rejected by 52.68 resistance for the second time in a month; the next support is at 38. Stochastic is currently crossing over bearish at 91 as it risks falling out of the 'bullish autobahn zone'; the next support is at 76. MACD remains bullish and is currently testing the uptrend line from March 2020 at ~-$35 as resistance while also still technically testing -44 resistance; if MACD is rejected at the uptrend line and then falls back below -44, this would be very bearish. ADX is beginning to form a soft trough at 19 as Price is seeing some recent selling pressure, this is mildly bearish. If Price is able to bounce off of the uptrend line from 06/16 at ~$3850 then it will likely retest the lower trendline of the descending channel from August 2021 at $3938 minor resistance . However, if Price breaks down out of the uptrend line from 06/16 at ~$3850, then it will likely retest $3707 minor support . Mental Stop Loss: (one close below) $3815.
Can The Stock Rally Sustain?Stocks appear to be running into resistance at 3909, after a slow trek upwards from the 3700's. The rally was labored, with resistance confirmed at every technical level along the way by red triangles on the KRI. We are seeing a bit of a retracement, to 3867, with support confirmed by a green triangle on the KRI. The Kovach OBV has been bullish, but does appear to be rounding off. This fact, combined with the weakness of last week's rally, suggests we may be in for another selloff. If so, we could retrace the entire rally to 3737, which should be considered a floor. The level 3825 is a reasonable intermediary level of support. If we are able to break out, then 3937, a relative high, will surely provide resistance.
BTC mid-July analysisI believe that we will see higher prices on BTC as equities rally and we fill upper imbalances
Stocks Press HigherThe S&P 500 is trekking up gradually, testing higher levels. we have solidified the 3800 handle, and if momentum continues, we could easily break through to the 3900's today. However, the bull rally does seem labored, with multiple red triangles on the KRI confirming resistance. We should see strong resistance at 3928 or 3937. A rejection could take us back to lower levels with 3737 a likely floor. If we are able to break out then 4009 is a likely target.
