S&P 500 (SPX500)
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade for 8-12 : SPY 10 Min Flagging/BreakoutThis update shows you why I believe the SPY will resolve the current Flag formation into an upward price trend.
The Vortex Rally base will likely continue to setup over the next 5+ days. But the 531-532 level on the SPY is proving to be a strong support area and as long as this level is not broken - we should see the SPY attempt to rally back above 545-550.
It is all about timing the move and staying patient while the SPY/QQQ settle near this base.
I'll continue to post more updates as price trends.

ES Lvls & Targets for Aug 12thLast Friday, my target was 5378, and we reached it late in the day after buyers gave us 55-point rally. This level is the next key area, and we spent the night consolidating/basing here. Continue holding your runners.
As of now: buyers defended 5363 overnight, with 5338-42 being the main support that needs to hold. This keeps 5400, 5414, and 5438 in play. Watch for a dip below 5338.
S&P bulls return in the game; still some work to doLast week, buyers regained control on the daily timeframe, filling the gap from Monday, August 5th, and closing the week at the high. While this was a strong display of power, I would approach it with caution for the following reasons:
1. The market is currently in a weekly consolidation phase. We've already seen how strongly the bears defend their control on the weekly timeframe (as evidenced by the last week of July), so this should not be disregarded.
2. The magnitude of Wednesday’s bearish candle demonstrates how easily the bears can move the price when they feel weakness
3. While all major sectors closed week green, none has managed to close above previous week high. Most of them are in a weekly consolidation, which signifies genuine market weakness.
To sum it up, while it's highly likely that the bulls will be able to confirm a weekly low ( 510.3 ) in the next days, it's uncertain whether they will be able to maintain their position for long. I would definitely wait to see the week’s close before considering a “buy.” Ideally, the bulls should fill the gap from Friday, August 2nd, and establish some value above 534 . If this doesn't happen and we see a strong price rejection, it would confirm bearish control.
The upcoming week is packed with economic data, which could fuel momentum for either side.
Microsoft Recovers 10% From Market Correction!Berkshire Hathaway has significantly cut its Apple investment, selling 505 million shares—a 55.8% reduction. This move reflects a major shift in its investment strategy, despite an 800% gain in its Apple shares since 2016.
The decision is influenced by multiple market factors, including a slowdown in Apple's revenue growth and a significant drop in smartphone demand, particularly impacted by shrinking markets in China and ongoing legal challenges, such as a U.S. Department of Justice antitrust lawsuit.
Despite these hurdles, Apple is pushing innovation, venturing into artificial intelligence and satellite connectivity, which could strengthen its market position and open new revenue streams.
Meanwhile, Apple's stock, after peaking at $237 in July and dropping to $200, has begun to recover, rising 10% since a post-earnings dip in early August, with a 12% year-to-date increase.
This volatility underscores the need for investor patience, given Apple's trend of prolonged growth phases interspersed with flat periods.
SPX: cancelled recessionFear of recession was one of the major drivers behind the US equity market's significant drop two weeks ago, however, Monday brought a change in the mood. The markets started to be relaxed that the recession time is still not on the schedule of the US economy, and that they might continue with an optimistic view on future earnings. Still, something has changed in terms that many investors are currently more precautious when returning to the equity market is in question. Analysts are currently revisiting their projections, in which sense, BCA is projecting that the S&P 500 might reach 3.750 by 2025 amid slowdown in the world economy and collapse of the carry trade in the Yen. At the same time analysts from Wells Fargo noted to investors “buy stocks, not the stock market”, remaining with a forecasted 5.535 for the S&P 500 as of the end of this year.
The S&P 500 performed in a strong manner during the week, with a move from 5.130 points up to 5.344 as of the end of the week, gaining around 4% for the week. Although it sounds like a huge weekly gain, it should be taken into consideration that previously, the index lost 10% from its recent all time highest level. The tech companies were again the ones which led the market to the upside. META was up by 5% on Friday, while pharmaceutical Eli Lilly was trading higher by 11%, due to revised earnings to the upside till the end of this year. Although the recession is cancelled for the moment, still, some precaution in further anticipation of the S&P 500 moves to the upside should be taken with precaution.
Is this a SELL SIGNAL for S&P 500 this week???Technical speaking, we have predicted that last week, the s&p 500 might started to rebound, since we've seen three to four bearish candles before trend reversal in the past pullbacks, and last week was the forth candle of this pullback. And it just moved as we've predicted.
And for now, the price is still rebounding from overall bearish market. So this week, we might pay close attention to the ending signal of this rebound, for example, the price be rejected by the resistance of previous low.
Key macroeconomic dates include the U.S. releasing the July PPI on August 13, the July CPI on August 14, and the so-called "dreaded" July retail sales data on August 15.
Also, Japan will release its Q2 GDP, likely stirring the pot again with yen carry trades.
In political news, the latest Financial Times poll shows Harris with a 1% lead over Trump in the presidential race.
I think from economic reports to the election, all could drive more volatility in U.S. stocks. Investors should keep a close eye on market movements and manage their risks accordingly.
fakeout into a shakeoutgood eve'
over the last 4 weeks the es1! has seen a bit of a shakeout which has scared a lot of people out of the market. whenever these things happen, i always wonder what it is that they're afraid of?
---
the es1! completed 5 waves up on a weekly timeframe from the 2023 low which we predicted, to the 2024 top which we did not pinpoint this time around.
i'm predicting we sweep the high 1-2 more times into the fed pivot,
before dropping very aggressively into the presidential election.
---
if all goes well, the timeline will look like this:
> we pop to sweep the high into the "fed pivot"
> we drop -20% into the presidential election.
> the presidential election turns out to be favorable for the market:
> next bull run begins.

i'm not your financial advisor, in fact - i'm not telling you to be a buyer nor a seller.
just sharing my interpretation of the chart in front of me.

#202433 - priceactiontds - weekly update - sp500 e-mini futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
sp500: Last weeks update is still worth reading because it was so on point and most prices given are still valid. Bears need to keep it below 5400/5450 and bulls want above so the bulls would have retraced much more than the 50% they currently have. Also neutral going into next week.
Quote from last week:
bear case: Bears made it clear that this bull trend is over with another huge bull trap. Right now the channel down looks decent enough if we ignore Friday’s tail. Bears could force another drop to 5300 early next week but I think a bounce and more sideways is more reasonable to expect. I am very confident in loading up on shorts on the next pullback and hold until we hit 5000/5100, which will likely happen over the next weeks/months.
comment: Market got to 5100 way faster than I expected but it was climactic selling and a pullback was expected. Not much difference in reasoning compared to dax and the same would apply to the nasdaq. Market is trying to find the big sellers again and we are probing higher. We will most likely hit the daily 20ema soon, which is around 5440 and that is also around the July low and therefore a breakout retest. After the 2 bull bars from Thursday & Friday, I do think the odds of disappointment for the bulls is greater than another bull bar on Monday.
current market cycle: Bear trend started with the drop from 5600 down to 5119. The second leg will bring us to or below 5000, where I expect much more sideways movement again. That big round number will probably be fought over for the next weeks until more bad news come around or earnings Q3 will show clear deterioration.
key levels: 5000-5500
bull case: Bulls already recovered a bit more than 50% of the 480 point sell off and if they get above 5450, the chances of a bear trap and not a bear trend, are bigger than a continuation of the selling. Bulls want exactly that and Monday/Tuesday will be key for the next impulse. A daily close above the 20ema would also turn the momentum in favor of the bulls again. Their target is 5430 and then a daily close above the daily ema.
Invalidation is below 5300.
bear case: Bears need to step in and keep the market below 5430. That’s it. If they get strong selling again on Monday, I do think that below 5300 most bulls will cover and we see a retest of 5200 and lower. Bears still see this as a pullback in a bear trend and 50-60% is a normal retracement.
Invalidation is above 5430.
outlook last week:
short term : Full bear mode. Pullback is expected and I will load up on shorts. This will go much lower in 2024.
→ Last Sunday we traded 5376 and now we are at 5370. Market sold off to 5119 so my read was perfect. Down there I wrote “you can’t get bearish at these lows” and the pullback was expected and written of. Hope you made some.
short term: Full bear mode if we stay below the daily ema. Retest of the lows is higher probability than breaking above the daily ema. I gave clear key levels, mark them and watch what the market does when it gets there.
medium-long term: Same as dax. Want to see a break of this bear flag before I calculate new targets and draw a better channel. We will likely see 5000 before end of October.
current swing trade: None. Will load again on shorts on Monday/Tuesday if bears appear again.
chart update: Added second bear gap, adjusted the possible bear channel and removed all broken bull trend lines.
SPY/QQQ/GOLD Plan Your Trade - New Week Aug 12~16+Thank you for all the boosts and likes. I'm trying my best to deliver informative and intelligent information for traders to learn to make their own decisions.
My goal is to teach you the skills to become better at identifying and selecting better opportunities for profits. Not to be right all the time - that's impossible.
But, to learn to manage risk levels, trade more efficiently, plan your trades, and to execute better trades with detailed information and guidance.
I hope I'm achieving those goals for all of you.
Some of the comments have been wonderfully supportive. Of course I'm not right 100% of the time - no one is. I'm simply trying to provide the best analysis I can to help you plan and prepare for better trades.
This video discusses what I expect from the markets over the next 5~10+ days.
I believe the markets need to retest support before shifting into the new Vortex Rally phase.
We need to watch Gold/Silver, the Transportation Index, Crude Oil, the US-Dollar, and how the SPY/QQQ react over the next 5+ days.
It will be interesting to see how things play out.

Full ES/SPX Trading Plan For Monday Aug 12thPlan for Monday: Supports are: 5363 (major), 5351, 5337-42 (major), 5324 (major), 5312-10 (major), 5302, 5288, 5273 (major), 5260, 5247-50 (major
The key focus now is that ES has finally cleared the critical 5338-42 support, but it needs to hold this level to avoid a move back down. The first target below from here is 5363. Since this level has already been extensively tested friday and is too close to the highs, it’s not appealing for a long position, but flushes and reclaims remain possible. Below there is 5338-42 yet again. This area has been heavily tested and remains a significant trap zone, which likely won’t change soon. While it’s possible to buy directly at this level, it requires quick, agile trading. I’d rather see a setup similar to what I played multiple Friday today: a dip down to 5324 followed by a recovery. However, I’ll stay flexible and ready to react in this zone in real time, with volume. Below 5324, the 5312 level comes into play. I'm open to a small bid in this area. If you're unsure, you can wait for a potential failed breakdown of Friday's low before entering. If this zone doesn't hold, selling momentum could pick up again, so I'd be cautious with buying any supports. Areas of interest might then be 5250 and 5186-91. For Monday, I view the entire range between 5324 and 5372-78 as a potential new consolidation zone, playground for traders.
Resistances are: 5372, 5378 (major), 5388, 5393, 5400 (major), 5414 (major), 5424, 5432, 5438-40 (major), 5450 (major). If the squeeze resumes on Monday, next spot for those who want to try shorts would be 5438-40 in terms of higher confidence areas. 5414 is another.
Buyers case: After two days of relentless rallying, a correction on Monday wouldn’t be surprising. For buyers, it’s crucial that the discussed supports hold, with 5312 as the lowest level they want to see. Dropping below that increases the likelihood of another leg down. The 5338-42 zone, which served as major resistance throughout the week, is now support. Ideally, on Monday, ES could consolidate between 5372-78 and 5338-42. From there, the next leg up could target 5400, 5424, and then 5438-40. In terms of spots to add on strength, this is tough to provide when we close at the lows but I’d generally see flagging below Fridays high, and above 5338-42 as being bullish (especially if we flush 5362 and recover).
Sellers case: This setup begins with the failure of 5312. As I mention frequently, these types of trades come with a strong disclaimer. Trades below support levels, known as breakdown trades, carry inherent risks. My main edge lies in trading failed breakdowns because most breakdowns (about 80%) tend to trap traders. Even when executed skillfully, breakdown trades have a low win rate, with over 60% expected to fail. However, the risk/reward ratio is high—two or three trades might fail, but the fourth could yield significant returns.
If you’re uncomfortable with these odds or the possibility of getting trapped, it’s best to avoid these trades. Breakdown trades are advanced setups, so if you’re a newer trader here, there’s no harm in passing on them. As always, I avoid chasing the market. I’d want to see a bounce or a failed breakdown around 5310-12 first. Once this plays out and there’s clear evidence of weak demand in that zone, I’d consider shorting around 5302 or slightly higher if a clear structure forms from the bounce that I can short beneath.
In general, my lean for Monday is that 5324 to 5372-78 is now a new consolidation zone, with 5338-42 being s mid-pivot. As long as we continue consolidating in this zone and really above 5338-42, buyers can just continue to work higher to 5400, 5414, then 5438-42. If 5324 fails, it’s a warning shot for buyers, with 5312 fail triggering short back down the levels.
Massive Sentiment Swing (Bears vs Bulls Royal Rumble)Many traders were looking for answers this week. What just happened? The quick summary is the JPY carry trade was quickly unwinding and as the Nikkei 225 was dumping with the largest 2 day move (EVER) the JPY volatility increased. On top of that, the FED didn't cut rates in July (as expected) and elected to punt to September (with likely 25 bps cut forecasted). Unfortunately, Thursday Unemployment Claims were higher and Friday's Non-Farm was a massive whiff. This triggered concerns that the FED is now behind the curve and the economy is heading into a recession (Sahm Rule is undefeated as a predictor). Key takeaways from me this week - VIX made the 2nd largest single day spike (Friday to Monday), and 24 hrs later made the 1st largest single day retreat (Monday to Tuesday). As I explain in the video, eerily similar volatility event like we saw in 2017 into January 2018. History rhymes and 2017/2018 were very different economic times compared to today. The week ahead is a bit lighter on US earnings, but key news is PPI and CPI (Tue and Wed prints). I'll be watching the key equilibrium levels to see who gets the upper hand. Do bears attempt to push price lower and re-test the lows? Do bulls continue to rip after the outlier cleanse and we're back to all-time highs before the election or end of year? We'll find out. I'll be watching and trading and doing my best. Thanks for watching!!!
SP500: Bracing for Impact?The crisis is gradually approaching... Global central banks are cutting rates at the fastest pace since the Covid era, according to BofA. The scenario might play out more slowly than shown on the chart, but the essence remains the same.
The upcoming U.S. elections are unlikely to be quiet and peaceful—something big is bound to happen. I'm leaning more towards a downturn.
Is it time to start picking up some Put options? 🤔🤔🤔
SP500 new ath before collapseSP:SPX
Last time we dropped 35% on covid pandemic
Now we have a correction 27% its more than enough
Last impulse up till 2025 November can be in a range 5500 - 6200 Take profit and exit line on my custom indicator, all lines are dynamic
Before we will see new trigger and end of 18 year property cycle
Than we will see big correction to 3200-3000 "Buy line" on my custom indicator
Based on my second indicator Market Mood we already 3 times passed white zone on indicator which called disbelief zone when the best time accumulate crypto, indexes, etc
Last impulse will be slowly but surely and will end on euphoria before disaster conflict between USA and China, hunger, new pandemic.

S&P 500 Daily Chart Analysis For Week of Aug 9, 2024Technical Analysis and Outlook:
The S&P 500 Index displayed severe downward movement during the current week's trading session as we blasted through Key Sup 5238 and completed our long-time flagged target, Inner Index Dip 5131. The resilient rebound occurs, and the current market price action rests at Mean Res 5345. The likelihood of interim downward pressure toward the Mean Support at 5280 exists before the index resumes its upward trajectory. However, the prevailing price action suggests a sustained uptrend toward the Inner Interim Index Rally 5443, possibly extending to Mean Res 5525. However, these attained targets are likely to exert downward pressure.
Bitcoin vs. SPY: A Comparative AnalysisIn the ever-evolving world of finance, Bitcoin (BTC) continues to make headlines as a disruptive force in the global economy. As of August 10, 2024, a comparative analysis between Bitcoin (BTC/USD) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) reveals fascinating insights into how the world's leading cryptocurrency stacks up against a traditional benchmark of the U.S. stock market.
The Weekly Chart: A Long-Term Perspective
The weekly chart for Bitcoin (BTC/USD) from Coinbase, as seen on TradingView, provides a long-term view of Bitcoin's price movements over the past several years. From its early days of relative obscurity to its meteoric rise in recent years, Bitcoin has become a staple in the portfolios of both retail and institutional investors. The chart highlights several key price points and trends, with the most recent data showing Bitcoin trading at approximately $60,422.92. This marks a notable recovery and a 3.94% increase over the past week.
This growth is particularly interesting when viewed in the context of Bitcoin's historical volatility. The chart clearly illustrates Bitcoin's cyclical nature, with periods of rapid growth followed by sharp corrections. Yet, despite the volatility, Bitcoin has shown resilience, consistently bouncing back from lows to reach new highs.
Bitcoin vs. SPY
To further understand Bitcoin's performance, it's crucial to compare it against a traditional benchmark like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), which tracks the S&P 500 Index—a key barometer of the U.S. stock market.
The "Asset vs Benchmark" table on the chart provides a detailed comparison of Bitcoin and SPY across multiple timeframes, including 1 day (1D), 1 week (1W), 1 month (1M), 3 months (3M), 6 months (6M), and 1 year (1Y). Here's a breakdown of the performance:
1 Day (1D): SPY shows a modest gain of +0.44%, while Bitcoin has experienced a slight decline of -0.72%. This short-term fluctuation is a reminder of Bitcoin's higher volatility compared to traditional assets.
1 Week (1W): Bitcoin shines here with a 3.94% gain, compared to SPY's marginal increase of 0.02%. This suggests that Bitcoin has been more responsive to recent market dynamics, potentially driven by macroeconomic factors or developments within the cryptocurrency space.
1 Month (1M): Over the past month, Bitcoin has underperformed with a -6.48% decline, while SPY saw a -3.24% drop. While both assets have struggled, Bitcoin's higher volatility is once again evident.
3 Months (3M): The 3-month data shows a similar pattern, with Bitcoin down -3.58%, compared to SPY's -3.24%. This alignment suggests that broader market trends have impacted both assets, though Bitcoin remains more sensitive to these movements.
6 Months (6M): Over the last six months, Bitcoin and SPY are almost neck and neck, both down -3.58%. This parity highlights the global economic challenges that have weighed on both traditional and digital assets.
1 Year (1Y): The 1-year performance paints a different picture. Bitcoin has surged ahead with a remarkable 42.88% gain, vastly outperforming SPY's 12.14% increase. This underscores Bitcoin's potential as a long-term growth asset, particularly in a year marked by inflation concerns and market volatility.
The Broader Implications
This analysis underscores several key points for investors:
Volatility as a Double-Edged Sword: Bitcoin's higher volatility means that while it can deliver substantial short-term gains, it also carries greater risk. Investors need to be prepared for significant price swings and should consider their risk tolerance when allocating to Bitcoin.
Diversification Potential: Bitcoin's ability to outperform traditional assets like SPY over the long term highlights its potential as a diversification tool. By adding Bitcoin to a portfolio, investors can potentially enhance returns while also increasing exposure to the rapidly growing digital economy.
Macroeconomic Sensitivity: Bitcoin's performance is increasingly influenced by global macroeconomic factors, much like traditional assets. This alignment suggests that Bitcoin is becoming more integrated into the broader financial ecosystem, making it a more relevant consideration for mainstream investors.
Conclusion
As Bitcoin continues to evolve and mature as an asset class, its role in the financial markets is becoming increasingly significant. The recent data showing Bitcoin's outperformance over SPY on a 1-year basis is a testament to its growing relevance and appeal. However, investors must also be mindful of the risks associated with Bitcoin's volatility and consider a balanced approach when incorporating it into their investment strategy.
In an era where digital assets are gaining traction, Bitcoin remains at the forefront, challenging traditional notions of value and investment. As the financial landscape continues to shift, keeping an eye on the dynamic between Bitcoin and traditional benchmarks like SPY will be essential for understanding the future of finance.

US $ YEN one more LOW 140.9 All math points to this target US dollar Yen under Elliot Wave and Fib relationship Still call for another drop to find true support . The wave structure has 4 relationships pointing to the same target all within .4 tenth of one point , I have posted this for good reason I would think that over the weekend or into next week We would see another WASHOUT in the sp 500 and QQQ . I have moved to cash outside a position long msft for june and aug 2025 calls , I have dates of 8/13 to 8/16 as A low point in markets . We are in a battle in the sp 500 and over head res is just at today high and 5400 even . the wave structure can be a series of waves 1 2 1 2 to the upside this would mean wave 4 low is in place and a target of 5888 would be the upside. put/call model says to position on the long side . However The structure can be also counted as a ABC down X A and B in progress which should be followed in a wave C decline below ALL the lows and take out 5118 this would target 2 zones. First 4996 alt is 4888 . I will stand on the side lines waiting for the YEN to reach the target. Best of trades WAVETIMER
Just look for what is outperforming the S&P 500The market started to rotate in early July to more conservative sectors and AMEX:DBA is showing that agricultural commodities have been outperforming stocks.
The ratio SP:SPX / AMEX:DBA made a lower high starting August and then just days later broke a key support level.
Then the AMEX:DBA broke above a downward trendline.
Is this the start of new trend? At least it is in the short term.
The are some stocks in the food industry that are looking good like NYSE:TSN and $INGR.
Even NYSE:PPT is doing all time highs after a 20-year base!
SPX weekly Ichimoku cloudWeekly Kijun is right at 5,300, acting as a support.
On the weekly chart, the Ichimoku cloud should act as major support at 4,900/5,000.
Price already went through the daily Ichimoku cloud, a bearish sign we had not seen since the 2023 autumn. The daily Kijun, which acts as an anchor has also been traspassed to the downside, now remains at 5,380.
