US Stocks are about to EXPLODE higher. Here we goThe reflation trade in the US stock market (Wave-5) is about to explode above the GREEN resistance line.
Far too many people continue to believe the US markets will collapse on some Fed/Economic crisis event. What they don't understand is the US is in a different position right now.
Yes, deflation trends may continue for REAL ASSETS (homes, cars, commodities, others), but as long as the US economy continues to tick along (employment, wages, consumers), billions of dollars every month flow into IRAs, 401Ks, and other investment assets.
This is what I call the "economic bias" related to money flow and US dollar depreciation. Over time, the natural process of the US/global economy is to GROW - not CONTRACT.
Therefore, we need to be prepared for a reflation trade (similar to 2003-05 when the US markets move upward after the 9/11 event).

ES support @ 4018 now becomes critical trigger levelThis big rotation to the upside, after the CPI number, presents a new $4018 support level on the ES for traders.
The Fed rate decision tomorrow may send markets briefly below this level, but watch for a reflation trade to setup after the Fed comments.
If my research is correct, a melt-up trend has already been established. I expect the US Dollar to melt back above 105 while Gold and Silver continue to melt upward as well.
The US markets may continue this upward trend into Q1:2023.

A new high in QQQ, no new high in NQ1!, and skepticismYesterday, prices rose across the board, with Nasdaq 100 index rising almost 5%. This move came amid a dovish interpretation of Jerome Powell’s speech by the market. As a result, the abrupt price action invalidated our assumptions about the potential top of the bear market rally.
Illustration 1.01
The daily chart of QQQ is displayed above. The yellow arrow indicates the invalidation of our early assumptions about the potential top for the bear market rally.
However, Nasdaq 100 continuous futures (NQ1!) failed to break above the immediate support/resistance and did not constitute a new high. That makes us skeptical about the new high in QQQ. Therefore, to entirely invalidate our earlier assumptions, we would like to see invalidation also in NQ1!.
Illustration 1.02
Illustration 1.02 shows the daily chart of NQ1!. The yellow arrow shows no invalidation in NQ1!.
At the moment, we will wait and see. If NQ1! breaks to the upside and holds above the immediate support/resistance, it will bolster the case for rally continuation. As a result, it will force us to abandon our price target of 270$.

Nasdaq: Santa Baby 🎁If Santa fulfills our wishlist this year, Nasdaq should sink into the orange target zone to hit the bottom of the orange wave ii, before heading back North to surpass the resistance at 12 145 points and continue the upwards slope. Should Nasdaq carry on with the downward trend and cross the support line at 10 636 points, it would activate our alternative scenario, where the course should sink further to finish the green wave alt. .

SPY Cycle Patterns For Dec 12, 2022 - More sideways melt-up.Here are the SPY Cycle Patterns for this week.
Expect more sideways melt-up trending as we head into the Fed rate decision and key economic data.
Traders will start to shift into early 2023 expectations this week (after the Fed). Check out my other posts.
The markets are not expecting anything extraordinary right now - more of the same.
The Fed rate decision will likely come in between 50pb and 75pb (as expected).
All of this has been BAKED INTO the markets already.
I can tell you what I'm seeing out here in So. Cal... Shoppers EVERYWHERE. Traffic is a mess. Lots of our of state cars everywhere. Malls and shopping centers seem packed.
From what I can see, Q4:2022 will probably stay very solid for retail and online shopping. Unless there is some catalyst to BREAK the markets, US stocks should slide into 2023 with fairly strong expectations.

NQ possible C&H & H&S forming on 1h and 4h timeframe regardlessThere is H&S on 4h timeframe and quite visible C&H on 1h
Tomorrow the price is set to get above or below the range.
Can it it a squeeze into CPI or we finally get below 11400.
Below 11400 will bring 11200 as next target.
NQ is the most bearish looking chart compare to ES and DOW
4h chart coming next in this thread
NQ needs one more push to finish the right shoulderCheck the vol of today's move, its nothing!
Typical Fri low vol grind
If the price stays elevated, we should grind up into Mon am.
But I will not be long if it will be a wall move into the close (last 10-15 min big up candle).
I have a turning day on the 12th, will it be a strong move down or a gap and crap, I dont know, but we are getting close!
I have a short set at 847 and 87NQ
Have a great weekend, Im on the road most of the day today, will be less updates till the weekend.
DJI US30 Supply And demand Analysis-price inside pivot point 4hr demand
-Price above 200MA
-looking fro buys
-a lot of retail traders have this area on the chart so I would
be a little concerned about that and could see price go below.
+ price has been going nowhere but up for 45 days so a pullback is healthy.
-Need to see lower timeframe confirmation.
NQ made a double bottom when ES did make a new lowsIn my eyes NQ and RTY are stronger then ES at this moment, which is kinda strange to me as it was the leading for the whole move down since ATH.
Support held today (tomorrow's support box).
Ichimoku cloud (not shown here) is in a thin area, so it has a weak support and can break below the lows to finally catch up with the ES.
There is similar bull trendline as in the ES chart I just posted, Im expecting it to hold to go long.
Ideally we get t test it tomorrow or Wednesday am. If we do gap down tomorrow to test that trendline I will be buying longs and hold into Wed high.
Gaping down tomorrow will kill short the open idea and I will be looking for a low to buy instead.
DXY will find support above 103.70As the global economy continues to recoil after the US Fed rate increase - watch for the USD/DXY to find support above 103.70 and flag sideways/higher over the next 15+ weeks.
I suspect any continued Fed rate increases will put further pressure on global markets/currencies and drive foreign investment in USD assets throughout 2023.
Yes, the US economy is contracting - which is exactly what the Fed wants (breaking inflationary trends). But, that does not mean the US economy is CRASHING.
What is happening is the strength of the US economy/USD is creating a capital-shift we've not seen since the early 2011~2013 bottom.
Foreign investors are rushing away from risk - towards safety, security, & ROI. That means they are seeking the safest, strongest economy on the planet, with the best chance of ROI.
I believe that is the US economy (the strongest on the planet) which is currently ON SALE at a 40% to 70% discount.
Pay attention.

SPY Cycle Patterns for Dec 5 thru 9 - A Flat Sideways Melt-upI love the fact that traders are messaging me asking questions regarding my SPY Cycle Patterns. Thank you.
I hope all of you are starting to see some value from my research and using it to profit from some of these moves higher.
Right now, and probably until next week (Dec 12 of later), the markets will probably slide into a fairly volatile sideways melt-up phase. I'm expecting a 4 to 6%+ volatility range over the next 7+ trading days before some catalyst sends the markets higher.
I've listed all the SPY Cycle Patterns for December below. I've highlighted the key days (**) that I believe will create a bias trend in December. The other patterns may still represent upward trending and volatility.

NQ1!, Bull Flag Resolution in Focus4 Weeks of consolidation within a bull flag formation. The bull flag pattern default outcome is a new leg up. A breakout may unleash enough energy to reach the resistance marked on the chart. A failure to put a new leg up is the pattern failure that opens the door to retest the bull' flag pole origin. The market needs a catalyst to resolve the flag. High odds setups are available at the edges of the flag and its midpoint.
