S&P500 Over the 1day MA50 but short term sell opportunityThe S&P500 index / US500 broke and closed over the 1day MA50 on Friday, for the first time in almost 2 months.
Even though it is a major long term bullish development, we see a short term sell opportunity as the 1day RSI is reversing, signalling a loss of strength on the 5 day rally.
The long term pattern remains a Bearish Megaphone, so such minor technical correction is justified.
Sell and target 4270 (Fibonacci 0.382, a level always reached inside the Megaphone's corrections).

S&P500: This is the strongest rally of the year!S&P500 hit our TP = 4,315 (see chart at the bottom) even earlier than we expected and finally turned bullish on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 56.977, MACD = -34.150, ADX = 40.157). In the process, it broke above the 1D MA50 for the first time since September 15th.
The wider pattern is a Channel Down now. If the price gets rejected inside the pattern. e.g the R1 level (4,400), we will buy on the pullback to the 1D MA200 and the 0.5 Fibonacci level at 4,270. If it crosses over the top of the Channel Down, we will buy on the next 1D MA50 pullback. In both events, the target is the R3 level (TP = 4,600).

"Higher for longer" to stay with usDuring yesterday’s FOMC press conference, Jerome Powell outlined the resiliency of the U.S. economy and labor market. In addition to that, the chairman reiterated the FED’s commitment to fighting inflation and bringing it to the goal of 2%. However, when asked whether the FED is confident about financial conditions being restrictive enough to finish the fight, the chairman answered that they are not confident about this fact and that more rate hikes might be on the table. Furthermore, Powell explained that all the effects of cumulative tightening had not been felt yet, allowing them to pause rate hikes and reassess the situation based on the upcoming data. With that said, we expect the policy of high-interest rates to continue to exert pressure on the economy, slowing it down. Plus, we disagree with FED’s outlook for no recession in 2024.

S&P500: Megaphone buy opportunity.S&P500 is almost technically oversold on the 1D timeframe (RSI = 30.205, MACD = -54.210, ADX = 37.499) with the price reaching the 0.618 Fibonacci level from the March 13th Low. The last time the RSI was at 30.000 was on October 3rd, the previous LL of the Bearish Megaphone pattern. The two bullish sequences of this pattern have been around +4.60%. Since this is a double bottom signal, we expect a rise of equal proportion, targeting the 1D MA50 (TP = 4,315).

S&P500 on its 1week MA50. Expect +4600 Xmas rally if it holds.The S&P500 / US500 hit this week the 1week MA50 after 7 months.
This is a major Support level, considering that it also made contact with the Rising Support of the 2022 market bottom. Also the 1week RSI hit the 12 month Support.
As long as the 1week candles close over this, buy and target 4610 (annual High).
This may be achieved before the end of the year since every rally in the past 2 years, even during the 2022 correction, was very aggressive.
If the index closes a 1week candle under the MA50, we should technically see a test of the MA200. Fair estimate at 4000.

S&P500: A rare buy opportunity within this MA zone.S&P500 is making contact today with the 1D MA200 for the second time in 2 weeks. The 1D technical outlook is naturally bearish (RSI = 38.503, MACD = -22.450, ADX = 29.479) since the 3 month pattern is a Bearish Megaphone and we are on the third selling sequence. It is not necessary to make a new direct hit on the LL trendline as the utmost technical support level in long term uptrends is the 1W MA50 and is where the second and last buy entry can be attempted. Our target is the 1D MA50 (TP = 4,360).

S&P500 Bullish Flag calls for a buy.The S&P500 got rejected twice near the MA50 (1d), causing a 7 day decline.
Since the October rise has been stronger so far than this decline, we can consider it as a Bullish Flag.
The price is approaching the MA200 (1d), where the October rally basically started.
Trading Plan:
1. Buy on the current market price.
Targets:
1. 4380 (MA50 1d).
Tips:
1. The RSI (1d) is on the exact symmetrical level as the September 7th Low. An additional bullish signal, at least for the short term.

Market to suck in die-hard bulls before abrupt reversal?Finally, the SPX rebounded to the level we initially expected it to reach (outlined last Friday). This move was accompanied by a bullish reversal in RSI, MACD, and Stochastic on the daily chart. To support a continuation higher, we want to see these indicators continue to develop bullish structures. However, to support a thesis that this is merely a correction of a prolonged downtrend that began in late July 2023, we would want to see RSI peak below 70 points (which is very common for downtrend corrections). In addition to that, we would like to see MACD fail to break above the midpoint.
As for our stance, we continue to wait on the sidelines (for short re-entry if the situation develops as expected). However, at the moment, we still do not feel comfortable to take action. The SPX might continue higher, potentially to the level where it sucks in bulls who start predicting new all-time highs and soft landing, just before an abrupt reversal. If we were to think of such a level, it would be somewhere near $4,450 (coinciding with the breakout above the sloping resistance). Though this is, of course, only a speculation at this point. It is not warranted the market will rebound as high (especially as yesterday’s candle looks somewhat exhausted). Therefore, for minor clues, we will pay close attention to the price’s ability to hold above the 20-day SMA and Resistance 1; a failure to stay above these levels will raise our suspicion and potentially signal a loss of upside momentum.
Illustration 1.01
Illustration 1.01 displays the daily chart of BTCUSD and two simple moving averages. The 20-day SMA acts as a support. If the price fails to hold above this level, it will be slightly bearish and raise our suspicion.

S&P500: Bearish as long as the Megaphone holds.Bullish if brokenS&P500 hit the 4,375 target of our last signal (chart at the end) and turned neutral on the 1D technical timeframe (RSI = 54.575, MACD = -15.020, ADX = 40.128). The rise is now approaching the 1D MA50, over which the new top was formed before on the LH of the Bearish Megaphone. We will wait for the top and short, aiming at the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement (TP = 4,325) as it happened with the September 7th pull back. If the price crosses over the LH, we will wait to buy on the first pull back near the 1D MA50 and target July's High (TP = 4,600).

S&P500 The 4hour MA50 supported, +4000 incoming.S&P500 / US500 opened lower today but managed to hold the 4hour MA50 as its Support and is having a big boost intra day.
It is not impossible to see one final pull back under the 4hour MA50 again as on August 24th but it's confirmed that this new bullish leg of the Bearish Megaphone is in full motion.
Buy and target 4440 (under the 0.786 Fibonacci and top of Megaphone).

Prolonged period of selling ahead?Last Thursday, we highlighted a rally in the Chinese stock market, with the Hang Seng Index rising as much as 3%. In addition to that, we speculated about the potential relief in SPX, with emphasis on resistance near $4,335 (which failed to be taken out). Today, we want to draw attention to Chinese stocks again. The Hang Send Index fell approximately 3% overnight, erasing last week’s attempt to move higher. Besides that, we are starting to notice gold and the U.S. dollar behaving similarly to last year during an extended period of selling pressure (when gold was moving lower with stocks and the U.S. dollar was strengthening). In our opinion, the environment is changing, and we could be in for a resumption of a prolonged selling period (potentially transposing to a market crash).
We maintain the view that we have seen one of the most deceitful bear market rallies in stocks and cryptocurrencies over the past year. Interestingly, during that time, many people began to relax their stances in expectation of a soft landing. However, we have been skeptical about the FED’s ability to deliver one for a while. In fact, we have been more inclined toward a scenario with the U.S. economy sliding into recession, which continues to be the case. In the coming weeks, we will pay close attention to unemployment, which will pretty much guarantee recession if it rises another 0.6% (considering the fact that each 1% rise in unemployment coincided with a recession since the 1940s). On top of that, we will observe the situation in the real estate segment and the performance of the manufacturing and services sectors.
As for technicals on the daily chart, we will watch DM+ and DM-, which we want to see diverging, with ADX rising simultaneously (suggesting a bearish trend is growing in strength). Furthermore, we will also look at RSI, MACD, and Stochastic, which we want to see pointing to the downside (their reversal to the upside will be bullish). In regard to price levels, we will pay close attention to support near $4.261 and resistance near $4,335.

S&P500 Bottom of the Megaphone. Buy over the MA50 (4h).S&P500 is trading inside a Falling Megaphone pattern, having completed 20 days under the MA50 (4h).
That is the buy break out signal, as it was on the previous bullish leg of the Megaphone.
The price hit the MA200 (1d) and bounced. Bullish signal so far.
Trading Plan:
1. Buy when the price closes over the MA50 (4h).
Targets:
1. 4400 (between the 0.786 Fibonacci level and the MA200 (4h)).
Tips:
1. The RSI (4h) is trading inside a Falling Wedge of its own. Take profit if its Falling Resistance gets hit before the 4400 target.

S&P500 targeting 5800 based on this overlooked pattern?The S&P500 index / US500 is testing the Rising Support of Higher Lows this week, stemming directly from the bottom of the 2022 correction.
A symmetric Support is just underneath and this pattern has various (dashed or bold) stemming from the Bear Cycle.
What many may fail to see though is a giant Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern that is forming the Right Shoulder.
If that's the case, then S&P can target the Fibonacci 2.0 level at 5800 as early as mid 2025!
Too much to ask??

S&P500 Will the 1week MA50 and Fib 0.5 hold? 2008 and 2000 show The S&P500 / US500 opened yet another week on red. Last week it closed on a 3 week red streak and is approaching the 1week MA50 and MA100 as well as the Fibonacci 0.5 level.
The Fib 0.5 and 1week MA50 in particular are of high importance as they are what seperated the 2022 stock market correction from the heavy Bear Cycles of 2008 and 2000.
As you can see both the mortgage crisis and dotcom bubble after they crossed under the 1week MA200 and rebounded, they got rejected on the 1week MA50 / Fib 0.5 Resistance cluster and didn't give the extension that we have in 2023 so far.
Often when a Resistance level breaks, the market tends to test it as a Support in order to discover demand momentum. Do you think they will hold?

Getting closer to support zoneThis market is horrible. Still holding my long position and selling calls but when it looks that bulls are jumping in sellers show up and erase all gains. Fortunately the index is approaching to a strong support zone 415 - 410. I'm hang in there, trusting that support will hold, at least a few weeks. I won't open any long positions for now until I see a couple of big fat weekly green candles.
S&P500: Balance sheet extends drop.Will interest rate peak soon?The S&P500 has been declining for more than two months straight reaching the HL trendline from the market bottom. It is useful to look into the Fed's role on this whole long term price action and what better timeframe to use than the 1W.
As you can see, the Fed's Balance Sheet (orange) is extending a long term decline that started more than one year ago, while the Interest Rate (teal) continues to rise. You don't need to go back any further than the 2018-2019 period, which was marked by the extensive trade wars between the U.S. and China. The key to recovery was when the Interes Rate peaked and flatlined. That was when the stock market bottomed and growth stability returned to the markets.
The recent (almost) two year inflation crisis has the market in an even more advantageous position as it's been one year since it recovered and priced the bottom, despite the fact that the Interest Rate is still rising. Theoretically when the Interest Rate peaks and turns flat, we should see a more stable stock market growth.
With the S&P500 on a HL support and the Balance sheet still dropping, do you think the Fed will pull the trigger and soon announce in one of their next meetings an end to rate hikes?

S&P500 Do or die moment for the bullish trend.The S&P500 / US500 is approaching the 1day MA200 (intact since March 24th) and its 1day RSI just become oversold for the first time since September 27th 2022 (exactly 1 year ago!).
That time was the begining of the Bear Cycle's bottom formation.
Additionally, we are at the bottom of the Channel Up pattern that started after the September 2022 bottom, so it is easy to understand that it is now or never if the bullish trend is to be sustained.
Buy on the current market price and target 4820, which is the All Time High of January 2022 and slightly under the 1.618 Fibonacci extension (targeted on prior rally).
This approach is negated if the price closes a 1day candle under the MA200.

Stock market crash looming over?Last week, the FED meeting resulted in no rate hike. However, Jerome Powell reiterated the central bank’s commitment to fight inflation, with dot plots showing the possibility of one more rate hike this year and interest rates staying elevated for at least another two years. That is no surprise to us as we have been warning for months about interest rates going higher and staying there. In addition to that, since late last year, we have been warning about the most deceitful bear market rally in cryptocurrencies and stocks as well.
Since then, we have seen a very uneven recovery, with the major indices like SPX and Nasdaq being propelled higher by a handful of companies while Russell and small caps were staying far behind in the recovery process. Furthermore, earlier this year, a big case was made out of the Chinese reopening of the economy after the Covid-19 pandemic. Back then, we remarked how much would depend on the performance of the Chinese economy and that its slowdown could inadvertently endanger the U.S. stock market and bring recession to the West. Then, in August 2023, we issued another warning about the Chinese stock market rolling over, signaling trouble for the U.S. markets.
Fast forward to today, and we have seen a failure of the Chinese indices to advance higher despite attempts by regulators to calm down the market, and in the U.S., personal savings declined, credit use soared and inflation reaccelerated. Furthermore, commercial bank deposits resumed a decline, and delinquencies on credit card loans started to soar rapidly. As for the narrative in the media, the widely accepted opinion is still that the U.S. economy is headed for a soft landing. But, we remain very skeptical about the FED’s ability to deliver one. In our view, many signs point to the more harsh scenario, with the environment increasingly favoring a significant market selloff.

Reverse SPYHard to say what will happen next. We could see a false break out of the 430 level, or hit the 415 and then a violent rejection like it did before. But just by seeing the way it closed the past week, at least is going to try to break the 430 level, I expect more volatility that's why I protected my long positions selling covered calls. I'm not sure about a market crash yet, I'm not planning to go too short in the upcoming days.
S&P500 Crazy as it may seem, we may see 9000 by the end of 2026!S&P500 / US100 is having a strong correction these past two months (August-September).
However on the wider scales such as the 1week time frame this is only a minor technical correction.
It is near forming a 1week MA50-100 Bullish Cross. Last time it formed this pattern was in September 2016 and the index never broke under either MA level. It went on to peak near the 3.0 Fibonacci extension.
Similar peak (Fib 3.0) and Channel Up leading to it (of course we can't count the COVID crash into it) on the December 2021 top.
The RSI pattern between now and 2016 is similar as well.
Based on the above and crazy as it may sound, it is a technical possibility to see the Channel Up that started in late 2022, extend into the end of 2026 and price a top near 9,000.

S&P Could find support here Following a notable correction, the S&P index may find support at its current level, particularly if the lower boundary of the green box at 4,350 holds. In the event of a successful hold, we could potentially witness a rally towards the initial target of 4,410. Subsequently, after a consolidation phase, a further move towards a level around 4,440 could be in the cards.
However, it's crucial to be aware that should the support within the green box fail, we may witness a decline towards the 4,300 mark.
S&P500: Near the bottom. Recovery should start early October.S&P500 is trading on a descending channel, on a very bearish 1D technical outlook (RSI = 36.220, MACD = -31.420, ADX = 38.889). The 1D RSI is on the same level as the August 17th bottom of this Channel Down. This decline is approaching a Triple Support Band: the 1D MA200 and the 1W MA50 which are headed directly for the bottom of the Channel Up that started exactly a year ago.
We expect the bottom to be formed inside these two weeks and early next month to see the first signs of recovery. A Cup recovery pattern has been the common mode of rise these past 12 months, so we set a R1 target (TP = 4,600) for mid to end of November.

Trading Plan:
1. Sell on the current market price.
Targets:
1. 4250 (bottom of the Channel Up and potential contact with the MA200 (1d)).
Tips:
1. The bottom's of the long term Channel Up have beem formed when the RSI (1d) completed Lower Lows near or under the 30.00 level. Be ready to book the profit if you see a rebound after the RSI makes a Lower Low.
