Weekly Forex Forecast: SP500, NAS, DOW ... Wait For BUYS!The equity markets closed the month with all time highs. Next week, there should be some
carry over. The week may open bearish in the short term, but I believe longs will be the ticket to ride!
* I will consider longs in SP500 and DOW before buying the NASDAQ, as it is weaker. There, I would take valid sells before I short SP500 or DOW JONES.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 12-05 : Harami-Inside DayToday's pattern suggests the SPY/QQQ will stay rather flat and likely close within yesterday's body range.
I'm not expecting a lot of price action today - although we could see a high/low range outside of yesterday's body range.
Gold and Silver are struggling to find support and rally from recent lows. The US Dollar's move back below 106 is positive for metals. But I urge traders to stay very cautious until they see a clear bullish breakaway pattern in metals.
I've been trying to tell everyone for 3+ weeks that the markets typically go a bit WONKY after a big election process. This year, Trump's victory was a big surprise for many, and I'm confident traders are attempting to avoid risks by staying away from making big moves before the end of the year.
Bitcoin fell back below $100k again and I believe BTCUSD could be setting up a very large Excess Phase Peak pattern. If I'm correct, we may see Bitcoin fall to GETTEX:82K (possibly $72k) as the EPP pattern continues.
It is very early in this EPP price structure, but ultimately, the EPP either continues to play out or invalidates. So, one way or another, we will either see a move down to GETTEX:82K (or below) or a rally move breaking above the $103k highs.
Again, I expect a very flat day for the SPY/QQQ. Stay safe.
Get some.

Hellena | SPX500 (4H): Long to resistance area 6117 (Wave “3”).Dear Colleagues, I believe that price will still make new highs. I expect that the wave “5” of the middle order is not yet complete.
Perhaps the price will test the 50% Fibonacci level of 5847 and then start an upward movement to the resistance area of 6117 (Wave “3”).
This correction may not happen, then it would mean that the price continued the wave “3”.
Manage your capital correctly and competently! Only enter trades based on reliable patterns!
Bearish drop?S&P500 (US500) is reacting off the pivot and could drop to the 23.6% Fibonacci support.

The Anomaly Price Event May Hit Before December 31Just before the US Presidential Elections, I published a detailed research report suggesting the markets may move into a low-liquidity event that could be very dangerous for traders.
My Adaptive Dynamic Learning (AI) predictive modeling system highlighted a range of price volatility just after the election showing a very real downward price event. If this event takes place, we may see the SPY/QQQ fall more than 5.5% while other sectors may fall more than 10.5%.
What is interesting is the post-election rally pushed some SPDR sectors above the upper ADL predicted price range. This means price is now very overbought in terms of expected levels.
Any reversion could prompt a very solid downward price move and catch many traders by surprise.
I'm watching my Crash Index and the XLF & XLRE sectors for any signs of a breakdown.
I suggest all of you move to protect capital as we move into the end of 2024 and prepare for what may become a very violent and volatile Anomaly Price Event.

S&P 500: Riding the Wave of OptimismS&P 500: Riding the Wave of Optimism Amid Economic and Political Dynamics
The S&P 500 continues its upward trajectory, buoyed by tech-driven gains and investor optimism, even as mixed economic data and geopolitical uncertainties loom. Here’s a deep dive into the current market landscape and what it means for the benchmark index.
---
Economic and Market Drivers
Tech-Led Rally and AI Optimism
The S&P 500's performance has been significantly influenced by gains in the technology and AI sectors. Investors are betting on the transformative potential of AI, propelling stocks like Microsoft and Meta to the forefront. However, regulatory scrutiny, such as the FTC's probe into Microsoft's AI software sales, introduces a layer of uncertainty.
Resilient Labor Market
While the Challenger Layoffs report showed a slight uptick, JOLTS job openings rose to 7.744 million in October, indicating a stable labor market. This balance supports the Federal Reserve’s cautious approach to monetary policy, as Chair Jerome Powell reiterated the economy’s strength and gradual progress in reducing inflation.
Mixed Economic Indicators
- ISM Services PMI** fell to 52.1, below expectations of 55.7, suggesting a slowdown in service sector growth.
- Durable goods orders increased by 0.3%, meeting expectations and reinforcing the narrative of economic stability.
- Construction spending rose 0.4%, signaling robust investment activity.
These data points reflect a U.S. economy navigating challenges while avoiding a hard landing—a scenario that fuels investor confidence.
---
Federal Reserve Policy: A Turning Point?
Fed officials, including John Williams and Christopher Waller, have hinted at the potential for a December rate cut, with futures markets pricing in a 74% likelihood of a 25-basis-point reduction. Inflation is expected to ease gradually, targeting 2% by 2025, but progress remains uneven. The Fed’s Beige Book also reported modest price increases and slightly higher economic activity, aligning with the central bank’s cautious optimism.
This pivot towards monetary easing, coupled with balanced labor market conditions, is a positive signal for equities, particularly growth-oriented sectors.
---
Corporate Highlights
- Salesforce reported Q3 revenue of $9.44 billion, exceeding estimates, but missed on adjusted EPS, reflecting mixed investor sentiment.
- Meta (Facebook) is aligning its strategies with evolving political landscapes, as CEO Mark Zuckerberg seeks to navigate regulatory and policy shifts.
- Microsoft faces FTC scrutiny, a development that underscores the increasing regulatory challenges in the tech sector.
Despite these challenges, corporate earnings have largely supported market valuations, adding another layer of support for the S&P 500.
---
Seasonality and Sentiment
December has historically been a strong month for the S&P 500, driven by:
- Holiday-driven consumer spending.
- Portfolio rebalancing.
- End-of-year tax considerations.
This seasonal strength aligns with the **Fear & Greed Index**, which currently stands at 56, indicating a greed-driven sentiment. Such sentiment often paves the way for further market upside, as investors are inclined to take on more risk in anticipation of future gains.
---
Outlook: Optimism with Caution
The S&P 500’s upward momentum is underpinned by strong tech-sector performance, resilient economic data, and seasonal tailwinds. However, challenges such as geopolitical risks, regulatory scrutiny, and uneven progress in disinflation could temper gains.
With the Federal Reserve signaling flexibility and potential rate cuts, the market sentiment remains favorable. However, investors should remain vigilant, monitoring corporate earnings, economic releases, and geopolitical developments.
In the near term, the S&P 500 appears poised to end the year on a strong note, but the path forward will depend on a delicate balance of economic stability and investor confidence.
Es Morning Update Dec 5thIn yesterday’s plan, I gave 3 key targets: 6074, 6082, and 6102. We hit 6102.25 as the high of the day. At this stage, there’s nothing to do but hold runners until a dip presents itself.
As of now: 6088 (weak) acts as support. Holding above keeps 6104, 6116-18, and 6130+ in play. If 6088 fails, expect a dip to 6080, with a 6066 backtest next.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 12-05 : Flat-Down PatternToday's Flat-Down pattern may continue the rolling top pattern in my Crash Index - suggesting the markets are consolidating after the post-Election rally phase.
I continue to warn traders this low liquidity market phase will likely prompt some very big volatility in price action between the election and, roughly, January 5-10. Stay cautious.
I believe the markets are starting to revert a bit downward and I believe this is a very healthy move for the markets - especially after the post-election rally phase.
We need the markets to resolve back into a moderation phase before attempting to make another bigger move to the upside. So, watching the markets potential roll over and fall about 3~5% would not surprise me.
Gold and Silver are moving into a fairly strong rally phase. This could be coupled with a moderate US Dollar decline.
Bitcoin rallied above $103k over the past 24 hour - WOW. Buckle up - the Bitcoin crew will be out in force with their memes and other comments.
Remember, play these market moves safely. If you can afford to take the lumps, don't trade too much capital with each trade.
Going to be a very interesting holiday as I believe liquidity will continue to erode and present even more volatility.
Get some.

SP500 Climbs to 56th Record High of2024:Bullish MomentumContinueS&P 500 Technical Analysis
The S&P 500 has soared to its 56th record high of 2024, closing at an impressive 6,070!
The index's relentless rally shows no signs of slowing, marking yet another historic milestone as anticipated in our previous analysis.
At present, the market exhibits strong bullish momentum, pointing toward a potential move to a significant resistance zone around 6,140. As long as the S&P 500 remains above 6,060, the bullish trajectory is likely to persist, with upward targets at 6,104 and 6,143. However, a decisive 4-hour candle close below 6,058 could shift sentiment to bearish, potentially driving the index toward the 6,022 level.
Key Levels:
Pivot Point: 6058
Resistance Levels: 6104, 6143, 6185
Support Levels: 6022, 5971, 5932
Trend Outlook:
The broader trend remains firmly bullish, underpinned by strong momentum and the recent record-breaking performance.
2024-12-04 - priceactiontds - daily update - sp500Good Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
sp500 e-mini futures - Parabolic buy climax which will end soon. Longs after pullbacks are ok but I will only look for weakness. This is climactic and unsustainable.
comment: Strongest bull bars that late in the trend? Tough. I have two higher targets still. First is the bull trend line to around 6160 and second is a measured move target to 6300. Bears are doing nothing but it’s also unlikely that we just continue higher in this tight of a channel on the daily chart. Market is on it’s last legs up and these windfall profits will get taken off the table before they disappear. You don’t get bullish this late in a trend, you get cautious.
current market cycle: bull trend - late and will end soon
key levels: 6000 - 6170
bull case: Bulls are in complete control but it’s overbought and climactic. the 4h 20ema has been bought for two weeks now and longs near it make sense. Buying above 6050 does not
Invalidation is below 6000.
bear case: Market is overbought and we will likely test down to the 4h 20ema soon. We can’t expect it to just trade through it and we would likely see another bounce up. Bears have nothing until then. Wait for the clear sign that bigger profit taking has started and we do not make new ath every 15m. Slight chance 6102 was the high and we go down to 6000 tomorrow.
Invalidation is above 6170.
short term: Bullish until proven otherwise but will happen sooner than later.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-11-16: So the top definitely qualifies as a blow-off top but the question if we continue further up, is still valid. It is possible that we are already inside the correction and if we continue below 5860, I highly doubt bulls can get above 6000 again. Given the current market structure, I won’t turn bear because the risk of another retest of the highs or even higher ones are just too big.
current swing trade: Nope
trade of the day: Could have bought pretty much anywhere. Again.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 12-04: Top PatternToday's Top pattern suggests the SPY/QQQ will run into resistance in early trading and roll downward at some point after reaching resistance.
I see the markets opening much higher this morning as the SPY/QQQ are both broadly rallying overnight.
This type of GAP UP opening often leads to the identification of price resistance and a rollover topping formation where price attempts to trail downward to fill the GAP.
The concept that my SPY Cycle Patterns new this was likely many months before today's price action happens is rather unique. And this is why I love my SPY Cycle Patterns.
The is no other place where you can attempt to clearly see into the future like using my SPY Cycle Patterns.
Gold and Silver are still struggling today - but should attempt to make a rally move higher over the next 5+ trading days. Until we break above the Flag High level, Gold and Silver are trapped in a sideways price range.
Bitcoin is also trapped in a sideways price range after reaching recent highs.
As I warn in this video - be prepared for very unusual price action and events over the next 30+ days. I believe we are about to see some very unusual political and economic events play out.
Keep a healthy CASH reserve and trade small quantities right now. Better to protect cash than to risk it on unknowns right now.
Get some.

S&P 500: BEARISH DIVERGENCE ALERT – Is This Time Different? Alright, listen up, my chart-watching warriors! 🎯✨ We’ve got ourselves a spicy situation on the S&P 500 Weekly Chart, and it’s SCREAMING caution right now. 🚨
The big question? “Is this time different?” Spoiler alert: Probably not. Let’s break it down 👇:
🚨 Bearish Divergence 101
First, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: BEARISH RSI DIVERGENCE.
📊 Price is making higher highs. (Woohoo, right? Wrong. 😬)
💔 RSI is making lower highs. (Oof. 🛑)
This is like your car’s engine light coming on while you’re flooring it. Yeah, it’s fun for now, but guess what? You’re headed for trouble.
💀 Déjà Vu? History Doesn’t Lie!
Let’s roll back the tape:
1️⃣ Feb 2020: Bearish divergence showed up. Result? BOOM – the COVID crash. 💥📉
2️⃣ Jan 2022: Another divergence. What happened? The market went full bear mode for a year. 🐻🔥
And now? Here we are in Dec 2024, and the exact same pattern is rearing its ugly head. Do we really think this time is different? I don’t think so.
👀 The Bearish Setup:
📈 Trendline Resistance: We’re right at the top of a multi-year rising trendline. This is a make-or-break zone.
💔 RSI Downtrend: The RSI is already sloping down, showing weakening momentum. Buyers are running out of gas. ⛽️💨
💡 Translation: This rally’s on borrowed time, folks.
🔥 George’s Hot Take:
This is what I call a “SELL THE RIP” scenario. Here’s the plan:
1️⃣ Watch for a rejection near the current highs (6,050–6,100).
2️⃣ If we break below 5,800, it’s GAME OVER – bears take the wheel. 🐻
3️⃣ Targets? 5,400 is in the cards, and if things get ugly, we could be staring at 5,200.
BUT WAIT… IS THIS TIME DIFFERENT? 🤔
You’ll hear the permabulls saying, “Oh, the market is resilient, blah blah.” Sure. But guess what? Patterns don’t lie.
If this divergence plays out like it has TWICE before, we’re looking at some serious downside. Don’t fight the charts, fam. 📉
Final Thoughts from the Bear Cave: 🐻
The S&P 500 is flashing warning signs loud and clear. This isn’t the time to be a hero. Play it smart:
Tighten stops. 🚦
Hedge your longs. 🛡️
Be ready to SHORT if we break support. 🎯
Let’s see how this plays out, but remember: The charts always win. 👑 Trade safe, my legends. ✌️
S&P500: No corrections possibly for the whole 2025.S&P500 is on excellent bullish levels on the 1D timeframe (RSI = 64.149, MACD = 44.390, ADX = 33.789) as it is extending the strong rise since the U.S. elections. Going back even more, this uptrend has been nothing but sustainable ever since the August 5th bottom that almost hit the 1W MA50. In fact that MA level is intact since October 2023. The index has been following a similar path with the December 2018 - December 2021 Bull Cycle that topped after a +105% rise. You can see that following the COVID correction recovery after leg (6), the index crossed over the 1W MA50 and never broke it up until after the January 2022 High in 574 days.
Consequently, we expect a continuation of the current uptrend for as long as the 1W MA50 stays intact. We are targeting a +105% rise yet again (TP = 7,150) near the end of 2025.

ES Morning Update Dec 3rdYesterday, 6063 remained the focus as ES has been glued to this level for two days, taking it very literally while flagging again. Nothing to do but let runners work.
As of now: 6078, 6092, and 6100 are the next targets. Supports on a dip are 6045 and 6035. Bulls remain in control as long as we stay above 6035.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 12-3: Gap ReversalToday's Gap Reversal pattern in a Counter-Trend mode suggests the SPY & QQQ will experience an opening price GAP - followed by a reversal of trend - possibly to the upside.
I believe we need to watch how the GAP forms at the open to determine if we are likely to see an upward or downward price trend throughout the rest of the day.
My analysis suggests an upside price move is more likely than a downward price move today for the SPY/QQQ.
Gold and Silver appear ready for a liftoff. Silver appears to be attempting to break above the recent high price levels and Gold should follow along.
I believe any Gold and Silver are poised for a big rally phase - but that rally will come when the US Dollar advance stalls and pulls downard a bit.
Bitcoin is still trending in a Flagging formation - setting up the Phase #2 of a Bullish Excess Phase Peak. We need to watch for a breakdown in price - possibly sending BTCUSD down to $80k-$82k.
I urge traders to stay cautious (Still). This is not the time to be aggressive as I still believe the low liquidity in the markets will present a very real risk of a volatility event (the Anomaly Event I keep suggesting is likely).
Remember, if you can't take the lumps, stop and rethink what you are trying to trade.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 12-2: Tmp Bottom PatternToday's pattern suggests the SPY will attempt to move a bit higher after finding support in early trading.
The one BIG event over the past 5+ trading days is the SPY rallying above the Ultimate High level - breaking into a confirmed Bullish price trend.
This is part of what I'm trying to teach you: the patterns, techniques, thinking, and logic behind my decisions are based on mechanical price structures/processes. Once you understand the structures and price patterns, it is simple to try to understand.
Fibonacci Price Theory teaches you to follow price as the ultimate indicator - measuring and marking ultimate, unique, and standout highs/lows as trigger points.
AnchorBar theory teaches us to watch for breakaway or breakdown bars as precise indications of price trend direction/momentum.
The Excess Phase Peak patterns represent a more nuanced price pattern that can assist us in determining the current "phase" of the markets and how we can expect prices to react to that phase.
If you understand these three concepts, I believe you, as a trader, can unlock any price action and determine what type of trend we are currently in for any symbol/interval and where your opportunity lies for potential trades.
I will continue to delve further into trading and teaching techniques to reinforce these techniques in the future.
Stay cautious as the markets are still struggling to find a post-election trend.
The Anomaly Event is still likely, but the probability of such an event has fallen to about 30-40% overall.
Get Some.
