Pre-FOMC Tantrums or Some Concerning Ailment?S&P 500 INDEX MODEL TRADING PLANS for TUE. 05/02
In our first trading plan of this trading week - published yesterday, Mon. 05/01 - we wrote: "With the FOMC meeting this week, everything else takes a second place until Wednesday. Expect a push-and-pull action in the markets heading into the event. If you are not a nimble trader, wait until the event is over for any directional trading. Most of the market action in the last few sessions appears to be driven by short squeezes rather than any directional conviction.
Our models indicate no clear trend emerging until after Wednesday. Bulls need to be cautious about sudden spikes lower, while bears need to be cautious against taking on any shorts prematurely."
The "sudden spikes lower" we mentioned are manifesting this morning - whether it is indicative of the typical "market tantrums" before FOMC day, or whether it is an indication of the banking-sector related anxiety developing into some ailment might become slowly apparent after the FOMC event tomorrow.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models, while flashing early bearish signs, indicate no trading plans for today.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.
Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.
Aggressive, Intraday Trading Plans for TUE. 05/02:
For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4104, 4138, 4160, or 4168 with an 8-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4098, 4127, 4157, or 4164 with an 8-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit long exits on a break below 4132, and explicit short exits on a break above 4132. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 11:31 am ET or later.
By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention).
To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

S&P MAJOR Pivot Point back to 2009 LOW - LOWER Prices likely!!Markets are at MAJOR Pivot point around this Trend Line connecting 2009 GFC Low at 666 to today's CLOSE and last DECEMBER 2022 High.
Markets typically get rejected off this resistance and have been rejected every time since 2009 EXCEPT when we had LOW Interest Rates + PPP after Covid. That is ONLY time markets broke ABOVE this line. We broke Below this line in 2022 drop and its proven to be a major pivot point with prices struggling to stay above it. Most recently Price was rejected from this line in Dec 2022. We are retesting it again after Breaking the Downtrend Line from 2022 that everyone thinks means that we now have a "melt up".
Current S&P Price is at May 2021 levels when we had ZERO Interest Rates and PPP. We are ON this Resistance/Pivot Line. CPI Data comes out in the morning.
Probabilities suggest the market gets rejected and goes LOWER not higher. Despite the break in downtrend.
For those of you that think Breaking a down trend and melt up is imminent go back and look at S&P chart in March - May 2008. The SAME Exact pattern as is being formed today occurred before the market tanked lower for next 12 months from May 2008 to 2009 low.
Trade what you see...
AZUL stock entry approachingI believe the stock can provide a minimum of 100% ROI if we managed to get a good entry under 5 USD. Airline industry got hit strong after the pandemic but it will recover sooner or later
Market AnalysisUnemployment claims are lower than expected (down)
GDP is only 1.1% (the dollar will rise slightly)
Personal expenditures are fronted by 1%, soaring to 3.7% (bad)
Core PCE increased from 4.4% to 4.9% (bearish)
Analysis:
The U.S. economy is worse than expected and has clearly entered a recession. However, inflation and personal consumption are set to soar, proving that QT isn't enough. After this data, big possibility for FED to raise more interest rate. The stock market and crypto will at least dump for another 10% or more.

SPX MODEL TRADING PLANS for THU. 04/27Big Tech Earnings to Trump Economic Slowdown Concerns?
Yesterday evening's strong earnings from Meta seems to be adding to the tone of impressive earnings from Microsoft, Google, McDonalds, and Chipotle that all seem to demonstrate that major firms have pricing power to absorb the inflationary pressures. Continued big tech earnings momentum into the next week, peaking with Apple's earnings next Thursday, might try to buoy the markets into the next few days. It remains to be seen how sustainable this push up would prove to be.
Our models show no bullish trend in sight for these markets, at least for now. Bears need to be cautious against taking on any shorts prematurely.

S&P500 at resistance zone... where next?SPX at resistance where last breakout reversed and came back down to retest the trend line. Trendline held and SPX rose back and is now near the resistance level. Notice the lower volume over the past few trading periods as the price has neared resistance.
Do you think it will break above resistance or fall back for a second retest? Haven't checked the Put/Call ratios yet on SPY but that would probs give an indication of where the smart money is going.
Almost looks like Wyckoff Accumulation SchematicJust a quick thought - the main difference here b/w a typical Wycoff accumulation schematic is that the chart above didn't have a selling climax first prior to its automatic rally. However, since then it has behaved as-if it is in Phase B.
I have a much simpler idea for SPX / SP500 that is linked in the related ideas below.
Price action needs to close above X leg & wave 4 $412im a buyer of the dips. looking for previous resistances to become future support . The uptrend is intact , in fact this is a bear trap. Notice how buyers stepped in on C wave of the ABCD pattern, when it retraced. Bears are trying hard to push this to wave 2 near b leg of the bearish cypher pattern around 409.36... A massive short squeeze will occur...
SPX Model Trading Plans for FRI. 04/21Markets Struggling to Gain Some Traction - Day 2
Despite the initial downward momentum post-PMI release this morning, markets still seem stuck in the tug-of-war between the "Inflation peaked" optimism and the "recession onset" concerns, and the earnings season so far has failed to give either the bulls or the bears any real traction. Whether the earnings next week will help the markets gain momentum in either direction remains to be seen. Our positional models continue to be in an indeterminate state until further notice.

Increasing Confusion.Hi.
I want to show you two SPX charts, one for 4H and other for 2W.
And tell you why I chose them, as well as how uncertainty can affect the price.
Left screen.
Enough signs for a decrease.
1. Spin top.
2. Gap down.
3. Tenkan-Sen break.
4. Bearish divergence.
We can say that the next month will develop a downward movement.
But in what larger situation is this movement embedded?
Right screen:
In lifetime of most of us, SP500 did not make such long swings in the cloud such size.
There are subtleties here.
1. Kijun-Sen has crossed Tenkan-Sen again.
Candles over of lines. Kind of a bullish picture...
But this crossing is inside the cloud.
2. Tenkan-sen is dangerously looking down and may well cross Senkou-Span B.
3. Senkou-Span A is looking downward, hinting at a possible downward expansion of the cloud...
The thinking is simple.
If 4H chart has started a down movement, it is enough for a month or even 5 weeks.
During this month, two candles down on 2W chart will cause the indicator lines
form a cross with bottom edge of the cloud, and given timeframe it will be an ultra-bearish signal.
This is what I wanted to show.
One timeframe can start a process on another timeframe.
Given DXY strengthening, none of this looks rosy.

Hit the target top, now for the bottomIf Intermediate wave 1 is finally done, it was a few days late, but on target. Next forecast is for Intermediate wave 2 which should see the anticipated market decline over the next 5-12 days. This means the bottom should occur prior to May 2. As of now, Intermediate wave 1 was 23 days long. Waves ending in 2BC2 have been 20-50% the length of their first wave’s length. The projected retracement percentages have not change, but the values have slightly as the initial estimates were based on Intermediate wave 1 topping at 4160. The most specific datasets correlate to the retracement levels in light blue. The 33.44% value represents the first quartile of historical movement for waves ending in 2BC2. The median is 60.60% and the third quartile is 77.87%.
The next specific values are in yellow and the are tied to historical waves ending in BC2. The third quartile is not displayed in yellow because it is also the 77.87% from the first dataset. The length of wave 2 based on this slightly larger dataset has it lasting 5-12 days again, with the strongest model agreement on 7 days. This could put the bottom around April 25.
The final set of values are based on a larger and broader dataset based on the behavior of waves ending in C2. These values are in white and the median value is omitted because it is close to the yellow value of 67.86%. The strongest model agreement suggests wave 2 could last 23 days (18 models) followed by 8 days (14 models), 12 days (12 models), and 7 days (6 models).
Declines could be related to earnings and speculation on the Fed which will provide the next rate hike determination and hint toward the future during the first week in May. Based on all the data, I am placing the bottom around 3922-3950. This will depend if the index starts moving down tomorrow or if another new high is reached. After this next bottom we should jump into the final strong rally of this uptrend possibly gaining 350-450 points over the course of 4 weeks. A perfect catalyst for this would be the Fed doing what is expected and hinting at a pause on rate hikes. While I do not agree it is a smart thing to do, it will be one of the many catalysts for the massive declines set to begin around mid-late June. Let’s play the drop, the big gain, and then its prevent defense time (after wave 4 down and wave 5 up).
SPX Model Trading Plans for TUE. 04/18"Inflation Peaked" Relief v/s "Recession Onset" Concern
With the CPI and FOMC minutes almost confirming the cooling off of the inflation and potential "mild" recession, markets are on-and-off with the sense of relief for a day and with the sense of concern another day. The imminent earnings season should help decide which way the sentiment would settle towards. Early earnings releases so far seem to lead to no clear directional bias, yet.

S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones, Bitcoin - Resistance Before EarningsThe S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones Indexes, and Bitcoin cryptocurrency have all reached a Resistance Price Level Zone in April 2023.
USA Stock Market Season for Q1 2023 officially began on 04/14/2023.
If the majority of Stock Earnings are good, the price of all 4 assets could breakout above to test previous 2022 high prices (August & April 2022).
However, if the majority of Stock Earnings are bad, the price of all 4 assets could breakdown and fall back to July & October 2022 low prices.
Finally, on a positive note for perspective: the S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones Indexes and Bitcoin are all well above their pre-pandemic prices (January 2020, which was the previous all-time high for the stock market).
