US SPX 500

Just going to leave this here for SPX BULLS...! Happy 2023!!!!So looking at the uber bullish idea that we have bottomed whereby this was some wave 4 which is completed... and now we start some blow-off the top for the next few years.... .....so....,,, in current now times/terms.... let's say we completed the A wave (approx 50% fib), making a B wave now back to 4000 (61%), then go back down to 3720s to finish wave 2 (61%).. We end up making an inverted head and shoulders in the above occurrence as well with a 20% move on neckline breakout.. -> this takes us to all-time highs on spx500usd. OR taking the wave 1 projections 1 to 1 or 161% we should get to 4500s then proceed through the year and work out way to approx 5000-5200 peak as we get bullish with pivot news. Following the FED pivot we dump back to re-test 4000 level, hold it successfully and start the next bull market wave 3 up which will be INSANE! SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE!

Is it the end of the bear-market rally on the S&P 500?Volatility was high during the Asian and US session yesterday, which saw a reversal of fortunes for the Japanese yen and the US dollar track Wall Street lower by the close on concerns the US is already in a recession. The yen originally weakened and sent USD/JPY over 250 pips higher as the BOJ did absolutely nothing, catching pre-emptive hawkish bets off guard. Yes with US retail sales sinking to a 12-month low at -1.1% m/m, then industrial production and manufacturing output falling –0.7% m/m and -1.3% respectively, it seems ‘happy new year’ is a distant memory and bears are coming out of hibernation. The Dow Jones led Wall Street lower (-1.8%) followed by the S&P 500 (-1.56%) and the Nasdaq (-1.3%). It also dragged the dollar lower as traders bet on a lower terminal Fed rate, seeing USD/JPY hand back most of its earlier gains. AUD, CAD and oil were also dragged lower as recession concerns dominated sentiment. S&P 500 daily chart: The S&P has stalled at an interesting juncture, and one that may prove to be a major swing high, during its worst session in 21. A large bearish ingulfing candle formed following an intraday false break of 4,000, trend resistance and the 200-day MA. Also note how the S&P has struggled previously at the 50-day MA back in August and twice in December. Volume was also above average to show conviction in the down-day, and the OBV (on balance volume) has been trending lower since November, despite the S&P’s rally since October, to show that bearish volume is dominating overall. Have we just seen the end of a bear-market rally? Possibly, perhaps not. But it does appear that a prominent swing high has formed • Our bias remains bearish below 4016 with an initial target at 3800 • Bears could either enter a break of yesterday’s low, or seek to fade into rallies with yesterday’s bearish candle (this potentially increases the reward to risk ratio) • If confident this is the end of a bear-market rally, bears could keep an open downside target and manage with a wider stop as it moves lower to managed the inevitable whipsaws along the way

SPX Model Trading Plans for WED. 01/18Earnings, Inflation, and China Re-start In our trading plans published Monday, 01/09, we stated: "The index is now approaching the resistance band in the range of 3960-4002, and the price action in this range determines the next leg". In our trading plans published yesterday, Tuesday 01/17, we wrote: "This range is still in effect for today's session. Models indicate potential risk to the upside than to the downside, so bears might need to be cautious and nimble". These words are still applicable for today's session. Positional Trading Models: Our positional trading models are currently flat and indicate staying flat until otherwise indicated. By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session. Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today. Trading Plans for WED. 01/18: Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4021, 4002, or 3986 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4018, 3996, or 3983 with a 9-point trailing stop.  Models indicate long exits on a break below 4028, and short exits on a break above 3966 for today. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:31 am ET or later. By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention). To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

SPX Model Trading Plans for THU. 01/12Inflation Numbers Good, but Not Great The CPI numbers and Initial Jobless Claims this morning have not really provided any directional thrust other than a huge whipsaw. As of nearly one hour into the release, there is really no directional catalyst on the radar for today. Our models indicate choppy trading while the index is between the broader range of 3900-3965 on a daily close basis, with a mildly bullish bias while above 3965 but below 4002. The index has to clear 4002 for the bullish bias to settle in.

SPX Broke bullish Now What?In the last SPX post, I started to doubt my bearish scenario of the index, by saying that the price looks bullish on the short term. Now that we've seen a short term pump to the resistance, I wanted to give an update. Right now, the upper level of the resistance zone has been touched. This begs the question: Are we going to see a break of this resistance zone. If that happens, I find it extremely likely that the resistance of the channel will break aswell. However, since we're at a resistance level, we have to be cautious about the following events. Right now i'll switch from bullish to neutral, because I want to see whats going to happen next.

SPX Model Trading Plans for MON. 01/09Post-NFP Momentum Building Up...for Now In our trading plans published on Thursday, 12/22, we stated: "Our models reiterate range-bound trading while the index is within the broader 3810-3860 range on a daily close basis". And, our plans published on Friday, 01/06, we stated: "Our models indicate continued choppy trading while the index is within this range". Friday's strong spike up cleared this range on a daily close basis, and this morning's price action is clearly building on top of that. The index is now approaching the resistance band in the range of 3960-4002, and the price action in this range determines the next leg. Positional Trading Models: Our positional trading models are currently flat and indicate staying flat until otherwise indicated. By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session. Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today. Trading Plans for MON. 01/09: Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 3941, 3962, 3977, or 4002 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 3938, 3958, 3974, or 3997 with a 9-point trailing stop. Models indicate no explicit long exits and no explicit short exits for today. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 11:40 am ET or later. By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention). To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

S&P500, was Friday (06 Jan 23) really Bull move?As we close out the first trading week of 2023, all 3 US indices close on Friday with a 2+% gain. What a great start to 2023! Is it really, though? If you think the market rallied on higher than expected NFP and lower unemployment rates, this is your first mistake. For most of 2022, the market had considered any economic strength is bad for stocks because it would mean higher inflation and a lower chance of a Fed Pivot. We saw this time and time again in 2022 when the market dropped on lower unemployment rates, higher wages, and higher retail sales. Even Jerome Powell has stated countless times in FOMC that the tight labor market is terrible for bringing down inflation. What caused the market rally, then? The ISM Non-Manufacturing Report. What you see here is the 1-hour chart of the S&P500. The market did rally on the NFP report, but it came back down immediately. However, at 11 pm, when ISM Non-Manufacturing numbers came out, it gave the market confidence to rally. What is the ISM Non-Manufacturing Report? It measures the business activity in the non-manufacturing sector, mainly the service sector. The service sector accounts for 80% of US business activities, and manufacturing accounts for the remaining 20%. After 30 consecutive months of activity growth (Since May 2020), the Service sector has contracted. Before last Friday, the last time Service Sector went into contraction was during the Covid19 crash and the Housing Crisis. So this is a piece of terrible news, then? Why did the market rally? The market believes that a weakening economic condition will trigger Federal Reserve to cut the rate. The market still believes in this delusional Fed Pivot narrative. Time and time again, Jerom Powell will come out during FOMC and kill the rally. During Dec 2022 press conference, Powell explicitly stated, "No Pivot in 2023" (go see the conference for yourself). The market is still fighting the Fed. The 10 Year Yield and 2 Year Yield diving 4% also proves this delusional "Fed Pivot" mindset. The Fed is raising FFR to keep the rate high to discourage cheap money. But if the 10Year and 2 Year rates are crashing on the backdrop of a delusional scenario, it will make the Fed's job even harder. They even stated that in the December meeting minutes. "Unwarranted easing in financial condition, ESPECIALLY IF DRIVEN BY A MISPERCEPTION BY THE PUBLIC or the committee's reaction function, would complicate the committee's effort to restore price stability." Once again, this market rally has no legs to stand on. When the FOMC decision arrives on 31 Jan 2023, Powell will stop this rally dead on its track again. Or maybe the CPI number coming this Thursday may slap some sense into the market. Do not get tricked (again). This is not the first time. Both July 2022 and October 2022 rallies were also based on a Pivot delusion. And it did not end well. If you are long-biased, do not overstay your welcome. I will be heading to these two key event with a short bias portfolio. NOTE: Banks and Big Techs earnings are coming up!

SPX Primed For A Powerful Wave 3 Decline Next WeekSPX completed a double zigzag correction originating from the December 22 low terminating at Friday's 3906 high. That 3906 high marks the completion of W2 to set up the bearish W3 breakdown out of this consolidation period. Below 3852 will greatly increase confidence that the W2 high will hold to immediately target 3819-3795, initially. Ultimately, there is a high probability target range for the W3 decline, which includes the 78.6% retracement from the October 13 low and 90-100% extensions of W1. Those are 3622-3604-3570, respectively. A fourth wave rally will follow after W3 is complete to be followed by a fifth to complete (W1).

SPX Model Trading Plans for FRI. 01/06 - NFP FridayNFP Data Mixed - Be Wary of Jumping the Gun In our trading plans published on Thursday, 12/22, we stated: "Our models reiterate range-bound trading while the index is within the broader 3810-3860 range on a daily close basis". In spite of a lot of spiky price action since then, and despite the initial pop today after the NFP numbers, the index is still within this range as of 9:50am ET, the third full trading session in the New Year. Our models indicate continued choppy trading while the index is within this range. Positional Trading Models: Our positional trading models are currently flat and indicate staying flat until otherwise indicated. By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session. Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today. Trading Plans for FRI. 01/06: Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 3826, 3838, 3857, or 3872 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 3820, 3830, 3852, or 3867 with a 10-point trailing stop.  Models indicate long exits on a break below 3833 and 3880, and short exits on a break above 3835. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 10:01 am ET or later. By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention). To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.
