calm before the storm?a larger than expected gap up this morning with no fundamental change to remove the underlying bearish atmosphere.
was this gap up the last opportunity to go short ahead of the fed meeting tomorrow?
or is this simply retail traders eagerly investing extra funds they were saving to pay off their loans, despite market circumstances?
please leave a comment, curious to hear opinions on the matter.
Spx500forecast
SPX level of importance is 4145 on closingMorning, quick update here
Lets see if we close below 4145 again, then we are going down into the 29th low
I have a main resistance to hit at 4166+-, above it it can stretch to 4175-76, should hold the night highs today and make a lower high during the regular hours imo
Im going to short 4166 and 4175-76 with a stop
Im currently long ES from 4148, tight stop there
Right chart - SPXPosted my other working chart instead of this one.
Again very important to watch 22-23rd highs being taken or making lower highs.
Today's level of importance is 4145SPX, closing above will press higher tomorrow, below not good for the bullz
On the road all day, will not post till late night
SPX must watch number for the close is 4135.30!Watch 4135.30SPX number, closing below will flush tomorrow and vice versa!
1h is showing a positive divergence when 15min is actually setting up for a flush, RSI is below 50, MACD below 0.
It should give one way or another!
Very interesting thing is this, next stop is at 4069-80 and nothing till 3951!
On the upside must close above 4140.20 for a push higher.
Resistance is at 4140, 4211 and 4308.50 (again)
My bottoming timing is on the 25th
SPX flagging, there is a good setup for a good size gap down SPX flagging, there is a good setup for a good size gap down tomorrow.
Again has to gap down below 4255-57SPX to mark the top being in place (reference to March topping pattern)
If we gap down to 4189-4207SPX (the bottom of the channel) and hold it early from the open, then I will go long for a move up into the close.
If this is what will play out, then we should re-test 4308.50-23 on Monday with a gap up and crap.
So must watch number for tomorrow is 4189-4207. Must gap down below 4255 to have this setup more probable!
Some good setups are coming, just need to be patient.
Maj resistance is at 4308.5SPX on closing level.
SPX needs a Gap Down below 4255-57 tomorrow...Quick update.
The price needs to gap down tomorrow below 4255-57 to confirm the top being in place.
Usually this type of the move trap bulls for long, so as long as we gap down hard tomorrow, I can mark the top being in.
There is still a room to squeeze to 4330-34, but Im not really playing it unless I see a good setup.
If we gap up tomorrow, will have to revisit my charts.
Tomorrow should continue today's day, we had a reversal to downside and if this is real we should see a low on the 22nd-23rd, small bounce 23-24th and last low or higher low on the 25-26th
24th is a panic cycle day! Mark it on your calendar
Numbers to watch tomorrow:
- Maj resistance is the same - 4308.50 (on closing level)
- First main support is at 4255-57
- 4220 and next is at 4175
- Ideal target of this move is at 4125-46
Ideally we should see something similar of a move from EOM Mar high. You can revisit a gap down below 4520, which was retested and never seen since after.
Tomorrow's move should be a start of the first move down, fits with cycle lows into 22-23rd or 25-26th, then a rally into Labour Day high/lower high.
The week of Sep 5th is a panic cycle week, so a gap down from there is expected to trap all the bulls, especially after staying long over the long weekend.
Have a good night
spx500Hello everyone,
We have a very clear 3 wave structure here that has extended the 3rd over the 1.618% fib extension after breaking up from the ending diagonal in the intermediate 4th wave position. I wouldn't expect SP500 to fill the 3,800 or 3,600 gap anytime soon guys. So I think 4,000 or maybe , possibly over shot 3,900 worst case IMO. The 1 fib level will likely hold as strong support, but let's see.
We also know our buddy Jim Crammer is bearish, so there's that...
SPX Aug 17th updateExpected a high being hit today, we got it. Expected a close below 4308.5SPX, we got it. Expected a red close, got it only on NASDAQ and Small Caps.
As long as we stay below 4340SPX we should see lower is my next expectation.
VIX (see my update earlier) has a clear ISH pattern.
Main support is 4177SPX
Tomorrow must watch numbers are
- 4285 and especially 75, failure of holding the last number can be a good sign of the local top, need much lower to mark the maj top!
- Resistance is the same 4308.50 on the closing level.
- Upper target zone is around 4330-34SPX in case it wants to tag it, Im not playing it and will be looking for a short setup instead.
I expect this to dive down to 4150+- SPX zone by the 24th-26th and one more push to lower low /double top, or if broken above - 4425+ sometime early Sep.
Not favouring the second scenario, but can be a case for the larger B wave top in Jan.
Im not in the camp of new ATH's and the lows being in, I dont change my count to fit the price or put many counts to be right regardless.
If Im wrong at some point (everyone makes mistakes), I will admit and only then change my view. We are not even close to have that view changed at this point.
Also want to bring the attention to Sep and hope many will make a note of this warning - there is a chance we could crash that month and my charts do reflect that.
Will it be serious or not as much, I have no idea, but I see some serious signs of something happening that month.
You have been warned.
Have a good night
SP500 Pullback, Perfect LONG Entry!SPX near the key resistance level @4305 that it tried to break unsuccessfully 3 times on 25 April, 28 April and 5 May 2022. This subsequently led to a continuous bear run down to the lows of 3643.
I'm expecting at least a slight pullback/retracement from here @4305, back down to 4200 to find support at the 200 Day EMA.
Buy Zones: 4100 (100 Day EMA + Previous support) to 4200 (200 Day EMA)
Stop Loss @ 4066
Take Profit @ 4500
SPX hit 4308.50 target!Ideal target has been met!
Watch to close below 4308.50, ideally we close red, tomorrow will be a bigger sell off with the bounce on the 18th.
The target zone is at 4300-33, it can stretch into 20s, I will short it there, or short if we close below 4308.50
Timing should be right as per my last night update.
I will post a zoomed out chart after the close with the expected pathway into Oct low.
One thing to mention is I wont be holding any longs after end of this month!
Sep can produce a good crash, you've been warned!
SPX, time for a trend decision. Up or down? SPX coming to the top resistance where it previously got rejected (2x).
Also looking at a similar fractal, as well as de MACD showing similar movement.
Price is either gonna go bullish here and breakout, or we're gonna see a big downwards move..
What do you think?
SPX gap fill is at 4300.16, maj resisatcne is at 4308.50Its a turning day tomorrow, the 16th, expect it to be an intraday or a closing high.
Super close to the Gap Fill at 4300.16 and my main target/resisatnce at 4308.50. Had that number since Jun, didnt expect it to get hit mid of Aug but EOM or first days of Sep.
Timing for the low is on Aug 26th and I expect 4010-30 to hold! Might get to 4050-60SPX only, will calculate target when I see that we topped. 4200 will have to be lost at min, today this number could rise.
This Fri Max Pain is at 405 SPY, something to watch!
So I was thinking if we see a low on the 26th, then there is a high chance we stretch into the Sep OPEX for bear max pain and suck every bull in at 4425-35SPX. That was my ideal target before we saw lower in June, now its secondary target.
SPX is in the target and maj resistance zoneNothing much to add since my most recent updates.
The price is in the target zone I had for a while now. Was expecting a good size pullback, never happened.
Im still in some trapped ES short, as well as RTY from Fri close and some SPY puts.
We got right into the Yellow dotted line I had for months now, its the main resistance line and right in our 4308SPX target zone.
Maj daily resistance is at 4308-35SPX
Maj support (and I expect it to hold) is at 4000-08SPX
Might stretch into 4930-50, but low 4k has higher chance in holding on the upcoming pullback.
As noted on the RTY chart, there is a chance we wont tag 200MA, too many are looking for one to get hit.
We should get some sort of pullback next week, how deep it will be, I dont know, but it can be quite fast.
Maj turn dates are the 16th and week of 29th, Im assuming that week will mark the high, might be lower high.
We have 9 unfilled gaps since Jun low, I expect those to get filled by Oct low.
Im expecting a double bottom or a marginal lower hit in to below 3450SPX zone before a good size rally into EOY.
Sep comes up as a panic month, I expect a good size reversal that month and it can get quite ugly in Oct.
I see some serious market movers Sep/Oct time, might stretch into Nov Midterm elections.
Those in power will do everything to rig it, so expect more international instability as well as something serious in the states.
Interesting and very dangerous times we live in.
Very important to gap down tomorrow to mark temp high.
Expect a counter trend next 2 weeks into week of 29th.
2 scenarios Im watching:
- top in main target zone of 4308-35SPX
- top at 4425SPX in case it wants to extend into mid of Sep
SPX quick updateNothing much I can add, but few things:
Lots of evidence of the market hitting the ceiling
- SPX is at 61.8 fib retracement, very important to watch
- Added a trendline off Feb 2020 and Sep 2020 highs, we are right at the resistance zone.
- Main target (4308-30) is getting close to hit with no 4th wave pullback but relentless grind in a C wave up.
- Weekly bullish reversal is only at 4385SPX on closing level, we are not going to hit it today.
- Daily is at 4308, same as the main target, also a gap to fill.
- MACD, RSI, Stoch etc are all in overbought territory, can last for several days more to hit that 4308+ target
- We have 9 gaps on the downside left, I expect those to get fill in Sep/Oct
- VIX is giving another long signal and sell to equities, need to watch the close below the Bollinger band to confirm
Im only day trading and have few ES under the water I m holding.
Will be short over the weekend with NQ, especially if we reverse into the close and close below the highs.
My internet is still very bad and technicians are only coming tomorrow end of the day, cant trade much in this environment but using my cell data for small trades
SPX back into the broken channel, fakeout was expected since my SPX back into the broken channel, fakeout was expected since my last night update. ES has the same look.
Im having internet issues all day, barely traded few times. Might internet problem can last up to end of Saturday, might be an issue posting till then.
I will try my best to post when I have internet working
Daily S1 is at 4383.52, we got a bit shy of that target.
4h chart is showing a good negative divergence
Tomorrow should follow throw if we got the fakeout or break above the trendline again. If second we will see 4308+ by Aug 16th.
Im still looking for the low on the 16th, tomorrow will be a tell if we got an inversion or we are good to go for the low
SPX is at 100% extension still see the whole move as bear rally- VIX gave a long signal and short signal for the markets, same as we had on the 29th of July.
Tomorrow we have a directional change as well as Fri with clear low on the 16th. I would like to see a good move lower starting tomorrow or Fri and a gap down on Monday. Volatility spike on Monday supports my view on this possible outcome. And then reversal day on Tuesday with lower low in am and higher close then Monday to mark a temp bottom.
Im swing short both ES (under the water) and NQ AH's.
I did trade NQ and ES on the long side last night and woke up to some very nice gains, happy with seeing a good long setup last night. So my paper loss on the ES short was very well offset today, not counting every day day trading.
Im fine holding those shorts with no stop for now.
Can we extend, 100% we can if it wants too and my ideal target still seats at 4308-30SPX. Please note that we are supper close to my min target I had for second month now - 4225SPX (very close and I wont be upset that we wont hit it:). I didn't expect that we get there on a straight line with such low pullbacks, but we did. And I'm trapped with some swing ES short for second week now (which is fine with me as I day trade through the day with NQ and make all that paper loss back with both long and short trades, like I did from last night entry)
My downside targets are the same - 4012-28 and ideal 3992 and 3950SPX. All we need is to break 4125SPX
Important levels (on closing level) for tomorrow and rest of the week to watch are:
Support, Daily:
- Maj is at 4135 and then 4079 on closing level
- Air below 4079 all the way to 3860-70SPX and 3810-20SPX
Weekly:
- There is only one support on weekly level and its at 3636SPX
Resistance Daily
- Maj is at 4308SPX
- Air above 4308 all the way till 4460SPX!
Weekly Resistance is at 4385SPX
I will update NQ chart tomorrow, it was updated to those who are on my email list though.
Enjoy/Share/Like
SPX is sitting at its bottom of the bull channel Posting from my phone, not sure if the picture will be normal looking or squeezed.
Must watch sone here, bulls must defend it, long with a stop below today’s lows.
Bears must break the line and short on the retest of the broken support
Same support levels as they were in my last SPX update
SPX Aug 8th updateDidnt do a weekend update, was no point, nothing new since the last updates.
NQ hit it's resistance cluster I mentioned before, SPX did as well and even exceeded a bit, but now way below it.
Resistance cluster is at 4160-77SPX, where 68 is the maj resistance on closing level
Im going to watch 3992 and 3938-40SPX level for the support to hold and a push into EOM after.
Some changes on my chart, we did in fact hit one of the channels I had for a while and retraced of it.
Now some Elliot Wave slapping from non expert (I find short term EWT counts useless!):
- What if the 4 is over and we will star a first move down and 2nd wave up will be beck into the same trendchannel resistance.
The fibs align with my main target zone for the wave 3 down as well as the 5th wave landing.
That would make it 5 waves down into Sep/Oct low! How big of a slap those EW "analysts" will get after their 5500 call for over then 8 months gets destroyed.
I know some will just add another count and be so "right", always "right"
I still favor another push into 4300-30 zone, but now see a much more bearish potential.
We are not even close to a bottom, the bull market wont be back till 2023 or even 2024, only bear market rallies!
