Last night updateCopy pasting of what I sent last night to those who are on my email list:
It seems the market is going to test 3965-80 zone after all. I was expecting it first part of July but it took time.
So some "wave slapping":
- My target is 4030, it can top at 4013-18 but it doesn't really matter - A wave (around 25-26th of Jul)
- Down to higher lows into 37xx zone (with possible overshoot into 36xx zone), where 3696-75 fits better - B wave (around 15th of Aug)
- C wave up into 4330 and the 200MA should be around that number when we should approach it, perfect fit for the count (late Aug, early Sep)
So the whole move should look like the move from Feb and Mar lows.
Volatility is set to rise from the 25th into early Aug
We have only 1 gap to close and 5 below, I think all will get filled
SPX gaps to close:
- 4017.81
- 3830.81
- 3800.91
- 3790.14
- 3674.85
Weekly resistance level is at 4090SPX
Monthly resistance level is 3950.50SPX
I do expect to close the month below the last number, closing above could shif the bearish outlook on longer term view.
So far I do think we will hit 32 handle at min with ideal erase the whole move of 2020 low and even retesting those lows. That would be the most bearish scenario and could last into 2024 instead of Q1 2023 as Im expecting now.
The level of importance tomorrow is - 3918 and 3911 on closing level. Below 3880 is the most important number, below it we should fall back into high 3700 territory.
So I expect this move to turn tomorrow and have 2 days correction and one more push into the 25-26th to finish up this move and fall into Aug 15th (or so) low. Then we should get a non stop rally Mar like back to the 4300 handle.
Spx500short
SPX is at the resistance zone - 3918 must hold or 3993-4016 nextQuick update here. It seems it want to see high 39xx after all.
Really has to close above 3918SPX today to confirm higher numbers ahead.
3930 is the absolute must hold for this to be over.
Looks like a 5 up here, very clear on the NQ (needs 12225-35) and the ES.
Will be watching the close to either enter with longs or short for tomorrow.
Next levels, if closed above 3918SPX, are:
- 3965-82
- 3992-93
- 4016-20
SHORT the SP500 after Monday - May see 3900 then SHORTTrading between 25% and 50% FIBS
MAY complete last wave to 3900 – then Reverse
Potential Triple Top -Strong Resistance
Divergence On the Oscillators
SP500 and US100 also has a similar flag - Hopefully TSLA MSFT GOOGLE APPLE AMZN eps will tank this market as all reporting in the next 14 days - and 7-21- Europe drops 10% if the Russian gas does not get turned back on after maintenance – and 7-28 2nd quarter GDP confirming recession 7-29 the Fed explains why another 3/4% hike scheduled for Sept ... So we are due for an interesting 2 weeks

Market Analysis - SPY PerformanceIn this post, I will attempt to analyze where the market currently stands, and present both a strong bull case and a strong bear case.
Bull case:
First, the chart:
The chart above shows the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) on a 4h timeframe. The yellow and orange lines are exponential moving averages that represent the MA Exp Ribbon. As noted in a prior post, the MA Exp Ribbon acts as resistance when price hits it from below. In order to pierce through the ribbon, and make a bullish breakout, a candle must do so on high volume and with strong momentum. On the bottom is the Stochastic RSI oscillator, which helps measure momentum. For the first time, in a long time, the 4h chart of SPY has seen price near the top of MA Exp Ribbon with strong momentum building to push through it. It is quite likely that the price will break through.
Second, the VIX:
As the chart below shows, the VIX has broken down from the trend that it held during its most volatile period over the second quarter. Just be cautious and patient because the VIX has not yet broken below its weekly MA Exp Ribbon.
Third, the Advance-Decline Line (ADL):
The advance-decline line has broken out and is absolutely soaring. This is possibly one of the most bullish-looking charts out there. The advance-decline line is a technical indicator that plots the difference between the number of advancing and declining stocks on a daily basis. The advance-decline line is used to show market sentiment, as it tells traders whether there are more stocks rising or falling. It is used to confirm price trends in major indexes, and can also warn of reversals when divergence occurs. Right now there is a strong bullish divergence and the major indices have yet to break out.
Seasonality:
The current period (mid- to late-July) is typically bullish from a seasonality perspective: charts.equityclock.com . Indeed, there was a bull run during this period even in 2008 during the Great Recession.
Bear case:
(Warning this part is scary - but remember never to invest or trade based on emotion)
Yield curve inversion:
The 10-year minus the 2-year Treasury yield is used to detect an impending recession. When the 2-year yield rises above the 10-year yield that creates a yield curve inversion, which can often indicate that a recession is coming. In essence, it creates the presumption that shorter-term yields are higher than longer-term yields because we're in the late phase of an economic cycle when the economy is overheating, and that soon, the economy will slow down. Right now the yield curve inversion is very steep. In fact, just last week, the yield curve inversion actually steepened to a level that was even worse than what we saw before the Great Recession.
Perhaps even more alarming is the extremely odd fact that the 10-year minus the 3-month Treasury is NOT indicating a recession. The federal reserve uses the 10-year minus the 3-month as a more reliable indicator for detecting an impending recession than the 10-year minus the 2-year.
Right now that indicator is only showing a 6% chance of a recession in the year ahead: www.newyorkfed.org
However, there's a major problem that throws into question the reliability of that indicator at the current time, and that problem is: The Rate of Change in the 10-year yield is off the charts. Look at the 10-year yield Rate of Change on a 3-month basis:
There's no way the 3-month yield could possibly invert relative the 10-year yield when the latter's rate of change is off-the-charts, unless the former's rate of change was even more off-the-charts (as we see with the 2-year, which is why the 2-year was able to invert against the 10-year).
Here's the 2-year yield rate of change:
Therefore, the 10-year minus the 3-month may be showing no inversion, not because the chance of a recession is actually low, but more likely because the indicator itself is no longer working because the rate of change in the 10-year yield is so parabolic. The 10-year minus 3-month indicator only reliably works if the assumption that the 10-year yield rate of change will be relatively stable compared to the 3-month yield rate of change holds true. In the current environment, that assumption does not hold true.
We've never seen this kind of rate of change in the 10-year yield during the period for which this indicator has been used to predict recessions. The 3-month yield would have inverted against the 10-year yield months ago, if the 10-year yield had remained relatively stable as it has during the past several decades. However, the 3-month yield cannot invert against something moving so fast to the upside. This is just simple math. This is extremely worrisome because many people are using this tool as a reason to believe that no recession will occur, when in fact, the tool has likely broken.
In the scientific community, we know that a tool only works if its validity and reliability can be established. Validity refers to the extent to which the tool actually measures what it is being used to measure, and reliability refers to the extent to which the tool consistently makes accurate measurements. In this case, the reliability of the 10Y-3M tool has broken down because the assumption that the 10-year yield would always be more stable relative to the 3-month yield is not true this time around. This time is indeed different...
So I leave you with these strong bull and strong bear considerations, and it is for you to determine how you want to play the market. Remember the rules of good trading!
SPX Daily quick updateI didnt have much time for a research this weekend, it's our family trip we are on and I have no time to trade at all.
As promised, do a quick weekend update, will do a broader one for those who are on my email list (if I find time later today)
Next week most important resistance is 3918-20SPX on a daily closing level and 4090SPX on weekly closing.
4090 is the dev bull bear line now, where the main resistance is down to 4300 from 4425
Looking back at the last year same week opening, Im kinda expecting the same with a big gap down and bottom on the 20-21st.
Or it can stretch to 3900 (smaller degree resistance) and 3918-20SPX.
With making lower highs and lows since Jun rally of the lows, I think we have one more unfinished flush to go.
I dont rule out a move up to 3900-20 on Monday/Wednesday to top this weak move off the Jun lows, then more weakness into EOM before a significant rally in Aug.
It could be a move down to 3660-70 or a new low to 3500, the timing is running out for the later number.
I have 20-21st as dates of importance, so either a low (if we fall apart on Monday) or a high (follow through on Monday).
I will be exiting most of my short if its a low and the opposite if its a high.
Again I have mixed signals, so cant be certain at this moment, but Im in lotto puts on to of my main fut short position, just in case we get a last year repeat.
Then the rally up into Aug/early Sep high and then we will get a real move down to finish this first wave of the bigger bear decline we have going into the 2023 and even possibly 2024.
Something suppose to happen in Sep which will produce a crash and Oct should cap the bottom. Then we will have a nice damage control/flight of capital from EU move up into the EOY and continue lower into Mar/Apr of 2023.
P.S. I doe expect the whole rally of 2020 lows to be erased with a possibility of seeing the 2020 lows next year
Enjoy your Sunday!
SPY breakout attempt Number 1Breakout attempts can happen without any triggers but when a trigger appears and coincides with market bottom, then there is an agreement and slight trading conviction that may be worth considering into the last half of the year. There is a daily wolfe wave setup that triggered on June 21 closing day at 3767.75. The projected target is calculated by extending a linear line between pivot 1 and 4 and projecting the line. This is represented as the green perforated line, as shown in the chart. The projected target is 4332 which is expected to reach this price target before Sept 30. Projected targets are defined by identifying the apex of the wolfe wave and projecting a vertical line toward the green perforated projection tgt which is extending from left to right.
SPX quick update - Main closing support is 3820Just got time to do an update.
Very important to close above 3820 today, otherwise we will be on the way to my 3730-60 zone, 3750 will become the next target.
If we close below 3820 today, I will short any rip and do some lotto puts.
On the other hand closing above 3820 will get me long for tomorrow
Broke 3820 already, could be an ugly close
SPX SHORT - JULY 2022
On the back of good employment figures from last week, price action shows a likely leg down for the S&P500 as we end the bearish run in the near term.
The lows of 3866 from Friday July 8 might be tagged early this week of July 10. If we see a liquidity hunt there and subsequent rally, look for the highs at 3949 to be taken. My idea is that this will lack follow through and result in the beginning of the next leg down to approach 3500. My entry short will be at 3948-50 and stop loss 4050 with targets at 3900, 3860, 3800,and 3500 in extension.
One alternative scenarios is that the break of July 8’s low has follow-through to the downside and not enough bulls to retest 3948. In that event, I’ll be looking for sells with targets above.
Another alternative scenario is that the break of 3948 does show follow-through, in which event we’d look for a lasting move above 4000 to invalidate the trade idea going short, and turn me into a bull looking for longs.
S&P500 (SPX500) Double Top And Orderblock EntryHi Traders,
S&P500 (SPX500) Double Top And Orderblock Entry is the trade of the day. Price has created two tests at 39835 and then fell from there, This has resulted in a Double top formation.
Price has come back to retest the broken neckline of the current double top. I have taken this entry as we have a few confluences coming into play which are the following.
Price has left an order block at 3895 which is now being retested. Price is also retesting a neckline at the exact same price. Price is in a downtrend and this could be a place for the extension to the downside.
My target is the low of 3672 where I will close all my positions.
Do not over risk.

SPX500 with a potential fakerally!Hey tradomanics,
looks like last bullish move after the fed-protocoll (Seriously... so bearish )... looks very suspicious especially in the market-depth showing absoprtion in form of a lot of iceberg-orders at the resistance.
I will give it a shot and go short from here on.
What do you think?
SPX longer term updateThis is a quick update with levels of importance.
I will update in more detail those who are on my email list, cant do it all.
So
I think we will see a really this week and I have 2 targets - 3880 and 3960-90SPX
Both are good for the lower lows to come sometime mid of the month, ideal bottom target is July 14-18th.
The top in 3960-90 zone actually better fit with expected by me 3500 test.
3500 is a very important level and failure of that level will get us to 3200 very quickly.
Off that expected low, Im expecting a good size rally, maybe a month or month an half (into end of Aug) all the way to 4300 and maybe even 4425SPX.
From there we will see either 3200 or 2900-2800 (depends on the July bottom 3500 and 3200 respectfully) sometime in Oct.
That low alone will be a one big A wave of the correction and the bigger B wave will go up into Jan and final low might come in Mar of 2023, unless its really extended and we wont see the low till 2024. But its too far out to speculate at this point.
So my this week trading plan is to exit longs at 3880 and it taken out re-enter to ride to 3960-90 zone and then I will be naked short for the trip down to 3500 zone.
If we lucky to see 3750-60 tomorrow, then I will be long for the trip to 3880 at min.
SPX500USD Shorts Coming This weekHi Traders,
S&P500 Has a similar structure to the Nasdaq and the Dow Jones, Right now I see a few points of interest where I may take a short position. I would like to see Price reach 3895 where I would look for potential sells seeing that price has made a lower high at 3950. Keep in mind that Price is yet to make a lower low and if we do reach our point of entry it may be the best place to enter the short for a lower low.
Price has left an imbalance at 4080 which still has the potential of being filled. Knowing this, I will be very conservative with the entry at 3895 where I will wait for rejection and then some sort of bearish candles before entering.
Let's be sure to smash this week, Remember to be patient disciplined, and very calculated with each trade. Many Traders tend to bring the gambler's mindset into their trading.
Best Regards,
Renaldo Philander.
