SPXS
SPY ES1! SPX Still Bullish, Pause before higherThe weekly SPY chart continues to look positive.
I circled areas where strong bounce weeks ended up failing and reversing to new lows.
But IMO, those reversals came with poor technicals (MACD trending down and/or negative) and showed big red candles right away. Now, we're seeing different action - MACD is turning up now and last week was flattish, closing at support. Stay long
Short SPX 500 Next 2-4 WeeksClear sell-off in process. Looking for previous support levels to be reached.
In the next two weeks I see a pullback for SPXS right after SPX finds a brief bottom and consolidates for a short bit my target buy for SPXS is the 21’s and my Target sell is $25.
$29 SPXS coincides with ~2550 SPX. This is possible by Mid-July. (4 1/2 weeks).
SPX S&P 500 2 Week ForecastTrump wants to win re-election. Trump can’t win if the US economy enters recession.
The only way Trump can possibly avoid recession is if the Fed cuts interests rates now. If the Fed waits til the market has tanked in order to cut rates, it will be too late to avoid recession via monetary stimulus that point. Trump needs rate cuts now! In order to get this he is using the tariffs to tank the stock market now to force the Fed’s hand.
The Fed meets June 19, July 19, and September something. They don’t meet in August. These next two meetings are important.
I believe the SPX will find a temporary bottom right around this first Fed meeting in 2 weeks, for a 3% decline.
If the Fed comes out with a surprise rate cut in June or July this could send the market higher (not much of surprise as probabilities are now at 80% for a rate cut in September but would still be a surprise). If the Fed does nothing I’d expect more selling & finding new support lower.
If SPX continues selling after June 19, I’d look for support between 2550 & 2475. I don’t think the Federal Reserve would let the SPX get that low again though...
spx channel, trade problems, expansion problems, debt problems..Heres a trend that may continue? Not sure I see a reason to break out to upside? Not sure what china will do as retaliation, but I imagine market wont think of it as a reason to rally back to highs.. but who knows, been wrong many times before.
Why this forecast will ultimately prove to be incorrect:
Im around 90% that monday, if market starts falling, we'll be seeing some trade talks going well, beautiful conversation stuff popping up in the news.. which will surely inspire our cpu palls to push price up into the 2900's.
SP500 Breakdown Near Top of Rising WedgeI've been following, waiting patiently for the breakdown. The market was unstoppable, nothing could shake it. Yesterday's reversal was bizarre, but the breakdown provided a wonderful buying opportunity (short). Further breakdown to come...lets see where we find support.
SPXS declining wedge coming to an end: breakout incoming! SPXS declining wedge pattern coming to ahead in the next few trading days. Watch for a daily close breakout and load up on your SPXS longs. RSI screaming oversold. VIX starting to show uptrend meaning impending volatility. Hold on to your pants.
SPX: Europe is kindly ushering in the next depressionRead an article this morning on how tech companies having many european constituents are lagging in decline of their stock price compared to tech companies having many chinese constituents by about 4:1. The article argued that the timing of this lag could result in a disastrous tech bubble here in America. This inspired me to checkout SPX in terms of euros, i.e., SPX*EURUSD. For EW believers, the chart provides a strong indication of how bearish the monster knocking on America’s door is.
FYI: EW count reveals a failed Wave 3 (came in under 1.68 Fib extension of W1) followed by the typical extended fifth seen in such scenarios (1-1.68 Fib extension of length from beginning of W1 to end of W3).

Small Cap Stocks with Bearish daily and weekly chartsThe Russell 2000 ETF continues to deliver critical technical and longer-term price patterns for skilled technicians. Combining the IWM chart with the Transportation Index, Oil, Gold, and others provide a very clear picture of what to expect in the immediate future.
Recently, we posted a research article about the Head-n-Shoulders pattern setting up in the $INDU. Again, the IWM chart is also showing a very clear Head-n-Shoulders pattern with critical resistance near $159.50 and support near $144.25. Our researchers, at Technical Traders Ltd., believe this right Shoulder will prompt a downside market move towards support near $144.25 before a downward sloping wedge pattern sets up. This first downward price leg will setup and congesting wedge formation that will, eventually, break to the upside and drive market prices higher.
We authored a research article about this pattern setup on February 17, 2019. You can read it here.
Skilled traders watch all the charts to assist them in identifying characteristics that can assist them in understanding price moves, key support/resistance levels, and price patterns. This IWM chart should be on everyone’s radar at the moment. Where the IWM finds support, so will the other US stock market indexes.
The IWM setup indicates we may only see a 5~7% downside price swing before support is found. We’ll have to watch how this plays out over the next few weeks/months to determine if the $144.25 level is true support or if the lower $137.00 level will become support. Either way, the downside price swing appears poised to unfold over the next few days/weeks – so be prepared.
