SPX target for tomorrow is 4058-62Im looking for a low tomorrow at 4058-62 and ideally we stretch to 4012-4027.5 which I expect to hold.
My timing is showing a low on the 3rd (if we wont reverse tomorrow), then high on the 5th or 8th and low into the mid month.
That would mark the B wave and one more push into EOM, ideally we see 4330+
Spx500short
Hopefully I'm wrong.. Made this prediction based off the 2000 & 2007 bear markets. Hopefully things don't get this bad, but I think the market is due for at least a 50% correction from the top (4818). Doesn't help that the US ( & world) is dealing with war, COVID (& monkeypox), historic inflation, supply chain issues, monopolized oil market, a deteriorating housing market, two quarters of negative GDP growth (some of us like to call this a recession), and a bunch of greedy mfs at the top manipulating the market the best they can. There's literally no reason to be bullish right now from my perspective.
I'm not an expert at all and have only been in the markets for a little over 2 years. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions!
SPX weekend update
Im slightly short as of Fri close, not planning to hold for long, looking at other day to get in with swings.
Notes from the chart:
4308.5SPX is the main resistances now (must hold for continuation lower)
Resistance - 4158.50, 4160.2, 4177.60, 4168.80 (Maj) SPX
- Low target for tomorrow 4052, 4027 and Main support 4012SPX - Buy if seen in am, don't buy if we see higher first
- 3910 and 3943 are the maj support zone now
Buy zone for tomorrow with stops!
- 4012, 4027.50SPX
- 4000 must hold on any try or it falls apart and will get 50MA tested
Short
- 4154-60SPX, no short above 4175, going to 4216-25
- Low (intraday) was on Jun 17th;
- No current long position, only short
Old pathway still can be in play:
- rally for a week or 2 back to 4150-4205 SPX (we are here now), retest of 3890SPX or 3830by Mid Aug and then main target of 4330+ and possible 4425+ summer time
- Ideally extend to 4425SPX (4300 main resistance on the way up) summer rally target - 110MA
After revising my chart, there is a high chance we are in a 5 wave down pathway with 4 being almost over.
Larger ABC pathway down into Sep/Oct low as being just an A wave, B wave up to Jan high and C down to Apr low
Potential 5 waves down is forming! Next mid Jun low can be lower low! Came as a main low and possible 5 wave down is over and we are in a B wave up
Additional to add:
We did hit 110MA on Fri high and retraced, that target alone can be enough for this move and the price doesn't have to test 200MA in case of a serious bear trend.
There are 2 downtrend channels, either of them can be in play, those are visual on my chart.
- We have a high volatility going into the 4th Aug
- As well as from the 8th of Aug to 15th.
I'm expecting at least a temp high on the 1st or the 3rd, if was not hit on Fri .
Low mid month and another advance into the week of 29th on neg div .
After that expect a huge move down and my targets as of now are 3430 and 3455. There is a Fib fan confluence at the same levels
I really don't want to see lower, as if that happens,then we could be in a 5 waves structure into Q1 of 2023 instead of ABC move down.
SPX updated bear channelI did send this chart during the last trading hour yesterday to those who are on my email list.
I have revised the bear channel and it fits much better with the current price action as well as the fibs.
Im short here and looking to add if we see a double tap of a bit higher high, otherwise doing only day trading.
Its a weekly and monthly closing day today, so must watch numbers are:
- 4090.80PX on closing level for weekly continuation or rejection of the price.
- 3950.50SPX on closing level for monthly continuation or rejection.
If closing below the second number it will be a huge tell of much lower levels to come.
Closing above 4090 can bring the 4300 into play earlier then I thought and that would make me change the ABC pathway with Jun 14th being as a B wave.
Main supports are:
- 4060SPX
- 4002-10SPX
- 3939SPX
- 3890SPX
Im mostly off today, will do a weekend update only.
SPX still trendingHe didnt gap down and gap up today, so no call for the full retracement off yesterday's low into Fri.
The next targets are 4075 and 4090SPX
I have some good confluence with the 4090SPX and as far it was so far away from a week ago, its getting close to it.
Tomorrow is a double directional day, watching for the 4090 to be hit to mark the high.
Also getting close to the monthly closing, tomorrow, also a weekly closing. So a lot of volatility is expected, might do some lotto options.
- Weekly closing resistance level is right at my second target - 4090.80SPX. Closing above will be bullish going into the next week.
- Monthly closing resistance is lower and it's at 3950.50, closing above will be bullish going into the month of Aug. that would support my view on higher low mid Aug.
So tomorrow is a very important day, if we do sell off hard and close below 3950SPX, then it could bring lower lows into mid of Aug.
If we do close above 4090, then I would redo my ABC move off the lows with B being in place on 14th of July.
Then 4225 becomes the target
SPX touched the top of the downtrend channelI find the close not bullish, should of close on the highs for tomorrow's continuation.
So if no gap up tomorrow above that channel, we should see a full retracement of day's day by Fri.
Im out from my long term longs keeping only 1/4th running
Enjoy your evening
SPX is finishing up A, 4017.81 gap filled!So far so good with one more push.
First targets is about to get hit:
4022, 4030-34
Next target and ideal is 4090!
This could reverse tomorrow and erase all gains by Fri! So have to be careful here on the long side.
Im out from 3/4 of my remain long term longs at 4021ES
SPX quick updateIm in transition for next 16 hours plus, wont be able to post or trade the open.
Im seeing a small H&S pattern forming on smaller time frame. Should stay below or around 4k top for it to hold and then trigger.
Looking for a low either on the 25th or 28th.
Ideally we top tomorrow as time window suggests we will, or low tomorrow and high by Wednesday.
Im expecting a good size decline to start soon, should last into 1-4th of Aug at min, bounce and final low 13-15th of Aug.
From where we should rally super strong (Mar like) into the EOM or first days of Sep.
There is something serious is about to happen early or mid Sep, so if we do see 4300+ Im going to stay fully naked with ZERO longs!!!
Again I do think we have much lower to go, but the short term pain is on the upside.
Will update those who are on my email list from the airport, few things to add there.
Have a great rest of your weekend!
SPx is on the pathway for high on the 25th.Nothing changed since my last update, we dont get much in declines, so the pressure is up.
My timing for the high is 25th, ideally we gap and start the move down hard.
3880SPX is the main support now.
If we get down to 3950 I will get my longs back on for a trip to 4030-40 and even 4075-90.
There is a solid yellow trendline goes from 2009 lows and goes all the way up into yesterday's close. I do expect it to be penetrated a bit with the C wave up, but acting as a strong resistance on bigger time frame. There is a yellow dotted line, its coming off Feb 2020 Feb high. Those 2 are most important bear/bull resistances to watch
Its a weekly closing. Weekly resistance is at 4090, very important to have a close below it for my pathway drawn on the chart
I expect a monthly close below 3950 level
Volatility is set to rise from Monday and lasting into the 4th
$spy s&p 500 etf CAUTION CAUTION $spxThe S&P 500 broke out of its descending trendline on Tuesday and is bulling, here is why I'm playing this cautiously...
It has a gap (red) that it is beginning to fill. It can easily fill the entire gap (into supply zone) and be in this bear flag territory.
This could be a BIG BULL TRAP. Beware as we head into FOMC Fed Meeting next week. I would not swing long into resistance under these circumstances.
Can it break out above? YES.
Do I think it will? NO.
Only time will tell.
SPX is getting close to its main target of this moveSo far so good, the top should be hit any day. Looking to short from 3992 and then at 4015-30.
I got some trapped short running from yesterday as well, was looking for a small pullback into the low 3900 and we got shy of my cover zone.
Traveling is coming to an end next week, hate that type of mistakes
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.
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!
