Part 2 - Fibonacci Price Theory on SPY 60 Min (Deeper we go)After 25+ years of research, study, and application of some of the most incredible trading strategies - I'm sharing one of the MOST IMPORTANT structural price theories with all of you...
The Fibonacci Price Theory.
The primary rule of the Fibonacci Price Theory is:
Price is ALWAYS seeking NEW HIGHS or NEW LOWS. Price is never NOT attempting to reach NEW HIGHS or NEW LOWS.
Let that sink in for a minute.
If you knew price was always attempting to establish a trend, or continue a trend.. how would that change your trading/investing tactics?
What if I showed you how I use Fibonacci Price Theory? And how YOU can use it to further your own trading skills?
Here you go, A 60 minute SPY chart where I'm applying the basics of Fibonacci Price Theory to the current market price rally.
If you've ever wanted to learn the TRUE CONSTRUCT of price - this is it.
All other technical analysis techniques (Elliot Wave, Indicators, & others) are constructed from PRICE.
Price is the Ultimate Indicator.
Pay attention and follow my research.

Learning Fibonacci Price Theory - MUST WATCHEven though I got cut off after about 25 minutes, I'm sharing this with all of you to teach you how to use one fo the most important PRICE STRUCTURE features for any chart
Fibonacci Price Theory.
The consensus of all TA is that PRICE tells us everything.
Fibonacci Price Theory is the REAL DEAL.
Use it on a 1 minute, 5 minute, 60 minute, or Daily - ANY TIME-FRAME
Use it in conjunction with other TA/Indicators.
Use it with Elliot Wave analysis.
USE IT.
My experience is that all indicators/theories/strategies have strengths/weaknesses. If you are not aware of them (yet) - pay attention.
Follow my research and I'll continue to try to share tidbits of advanced TA/Fibonacci with you.
I created this to help my followers/friends learn one of the most critical price structure components of my own research. I see all price charts in the manner I've illustrated in this video.
After more than 15 years of applied Fibonacci Price Theory/Structure - I can't help but NOT see price as "Fibonacci Fractals".
Hope this helps.

At the level of interest - ES SPX AAPL USOIL et al....SPX is in the area where I think it may reverse although higher highs to end the day is certainly possible.
It has been a hard slog for bears and according to what I'm seeing on the put/call charts, the bets are mostly bullish. This makes sense in terms of price action but under the hood there are some issues.
There are technical reasons why I'm still bearish here, and basically that's what I talk about in the video. I know some will probably criticize this as being "too bearish" and that's fair. However, I don't think I'm imagining what I'm seeing here. The RSI has been very clear when the selloffs looked too weak and I have pointed that out when I saw it. The RSI in particular is now clearly flashing a longer term warning here, which I try to explain.
Good luck and have a great weekend!
How to be a Mean Reversion ScalperIn this video I go over how I trade with my custom mean-reversion histogram and overlay indicator, explaining the logic behind my entires and profit-taking levels. This example is taken from $SPY on the 1-minute chart, and I examine all four of the alerts that the indicator gave today. Comment below with any questions!
Bears Still on the Field - SPX futuresThe idea from yesterday is not working as I thought so I had to reevaluate what I'm seeing this morning. The general bias is still down - under the 18ma on daily and weekly, embedded bearish slow stochastic, put call ratios back to normal levels again, and more....
If we move quickly downward, there is daily BB support near 3740 on ES. That should at least pause the market but it's no guarantee that a rally would come from that support. If we are starting a C wave down all bounces will be minimal at best.
Another option is we rally hard after the NFP to the daily 18ma at 3880 area - possible for sure but unless they can hold above the 18ma by close it will be just a bull trap.
I believe many are thinking a bounce and then lower which is why I'm not so sure about a bounce at this time. A sell down with no bounce would catch the majority of longs off guard and keep short sellers from getting into a good position to sell.
Please be careful and as always - good luck!
LIGHT BULB will eventually CLICK ES/SPX/SPYTrade Plan this Week
Pivot is 3875.
Big levels above are 3915 / 3960 / 3990 / 4000 / 4050.
Big levels below are 3832 / 3800 / 3777 / 3750 / 3712.
Market Structure
Short Term Trend. Spooz remains in a downtrend until we can get back above that 3915, which would be the first goal for bulls as it would put them back in firm control.
The Profiles. What the market has been communicating to us this past week is profit taking by shorts producing a relief bounce. We know this from the shape of the daily volume/market profile(s), as there were a few P-shaped profiles. Additionally, a pattern that has been developing has been poor lows, a sign of sellers selling into the hole without getting paid and effectively getting trapped, causing reversals. As is typically the case with short covering bounces, they get sold eventually. However, we need to remain nimble and aware that price can continue to move higher as long as there are new buyers. 3875 was a pretty key level last week, it has stalled the auction a few times, and I think there may be further pain for shorts as long as we remain above it. This will be our pivot this week. 3920 has unfinished auction, and downside was limited below 3800.
Given our pivot is 3875, bulls want above, bears want below. Above 3875 and I will be long biased, targeting 3894 and 3915. Breaking above and holding 3915 would be best case scenario for bulls, targeting 3960 and 3990 / 4000. Holding below 3875 would indicate weakness IMO, and targets in this case are 3832 and 3800. Break and hold below 3800 will target our 3777 and 3750 levels.
Inside Day. For Tuesday, we have an inside day set up which we want to be on the lookout for. The HOD was 3872, thus breaking above and holding we want to be bullish playing with further squeezing of shorts. The LOD being 3822, breaking below and holding we want to be bearish playing with the inside day break to the downside.
Trade Plan Tuesday
Pivot is 3875.
Bulls targeting 3894. Break and hold above targets 3915 / 3937 / 3950.
Bears targeting 3855. Break and hold below targets 3832 / 3818 / 3800.
Stay Frosty!
SPY - the alternative countThis is a video walk through of the SPY considering this count as a larger ABC move instead of an impulse with a bounce coming next.
I do feel this count is a strong possibility but it will be wrong over 383 or more conservatively, over 387.
Very few people think we can have a melt down over the holidays, and very few are thinking this is a possibility, which is why I'm bringing it up.
If I'm wrong I will update this chart, but If I'm right I will be updating the futures chart at
I hope it's helpful.
Good luck and Merry Christmas!
SPX - 2008 vs 2022 ---- levels to watch All in the video, very simply bulls want to at least hold 3900 for the week to keep the weekly 18 ma bias in the bullish camp. Even better for bulls would be recapturing 4k which would get us over the daily 18ma again.
Bears want to see the weekly 18ma at 3900 break and hold under for the week, but a test of the daily 18 at 4k and rejection would be an ideal shorting opportunity.
Jobs numbers tomorrow at 8:30 may get us to the daily 18ma test, but it's only bullish if we close above it on a daily close.
The Weekly candle will give more clues for next week.
Good luck!
SPX - Santa wears RedHad to update my analysis as the breakdown today looks legit. Very possible that Friday was both a bear and bull trap and thus the hanging man candle on futures. If we get under the 18ma the daily bias will be down. Support is at 3940 (price shelf and 100ma) so I think buyers will step in there for a bounce, but under the 18ma and all bounces will be opportunities to short, probably into Christmas. Good luck!
update on SPX Oil XLE Bonds BTCAll in the video. SPX is hanging around it's 4hr neckline, no decision to sell just yet, Oil may be a nice short, 70 is the target I'm watching. XLE I think is also an excellent short opportunity but confirmation is under 90. Bonds look good and maybe had a very important long term low. BTC could sell some more a few targets are 145 12k and 10k
Good luck
$SPY Trading Plan & OutlookComing out of a nice bearish trend SPY has bounced nicely off the 200-day Moving Average on the weekly time frame.
Historically, the 200-day moving average has been a massive level of support and resistance. You can always expect some nice volatility around there.
Coming out of the bearish trend we do have some more bearish trend lines to hit.
As of now, I'm just watching this trading range and seeing how the market reacts to the unemployment rate tomorrow (OCT 7th) 8:30 ET. 3.7% reported last month is the number to beat.
Be patient and wait for the market to pick a side before loading any trades. On the other hand, make sure you're taking advantage of these nice discounts across the board for your long-term portfolio
Lines to watch on the SP500All in the video, basically bears are in control as long as we're under the green channel trendline (which failed today), bulls are in control above it. Possible megaphone pattern may come into play. I believe the bottom for this year will be around the 3-4th week of October.
$FB Zuckerberg Gut PunchFaceplace is really getting it in this bear market. After looking like it might finally rebound, we are seeing a clear indication of a bearish consolidation pattern which can be used to initiate short positions and limit risk. Even though this looks golden, I do not pretend to know what is going to happen, so I always cut losses when positions move against me.
Wednesday notes - SPX Wheat Gold DXY DAX Bonds etc.Some pre market commentary, SPX - expecting a bear trap after open, then higher. Wheat may be affected by the hurricane in Florida, Bonds hit an important fib extension, Gold looks promising if it can get over 1675 resistance, DXY also looks like it may pullback - BTC could still move to lower 18000 area before a move up (would align with one more low in equities) but it doesn't have to go down that far. Dax has broken monthly trendline, expect a retest over the coming weeks.
I forgot oil - looks good for a strong bounce here, pullbacks are likely bought.
OK good luck!
The Monday Notes - SPX500 USOIL Wheat Gold DXY BTCAll in the video, expecting a pullback but how much is hard to say if it's a B wave. Logic tells me to feed the bears just enough before they take away the plate, but we'll have to see how CPI is reacted to tomorrow. Oil looks very good for a move above 100 still, Wheat could still be a Flat completing, but I'm not concerned about a pullback if it does. Gold, looks good for more upside after a pullback and the Dollar looks good for a bounce and then more downside. BTC should follow the markets, target of 22500 is close, they may pullback before it gets hit. Good luck to all.
ES MINI Live Short (ICT Concepts) 8/31/2022Had a bearish daily bias to start the day. Stops were taking after an aggressive move up, very bearish move. Waited for a break in market structure and entered at a fair value gap on 1m chart. Could have held for longer but lows were being respected previously so we had to be careful for any smart money going long. Profits taken.
A Dive Into My Swing Trading Approach (+setup) This video was a short synthesis of my swing trading approach. For the amount of information I presented, I'm not expecting to successfully being able to convey my means and ways in one short video, but I'm glad if I could at least show a different perspective.
Some important things I forgot to mention:
- The tolerance for identifying a visual weak liquidity pattern is 2 ticks, 3 ticks during highly volatile days (for the ES). This can change from one market to another. Anything more than 2/3 ticks is considered a move of conviction supported by strong liquidity, a market that has the confidence to see what's beyond a certain point to then either sharply reverse or move forward.
- Using this method I CANNOT know what the market makers are exactly doing, there is no way to know, they will always be a step ahead of any brilliant retail trader. However, we can understand their logic and the weak traders' logic, the latter is the type we want to trade against.
SETUP
As I said, I favour a short trade, but as of today I have to remain on the sidelines. During this times is important to be flexible and change ones bias if that's what the market is suggesting. I will post my set up (if any) in due course.
