S&P500 Is there one last ATH left before a dotcom type crash??I won't use too many words here as the charts is pretty much self explanatory.
This is the S&P500 index today (on the left from 2018 to 2022) and the build up to the dotcom crash (1996 - 2000). I approach this symmetrically with 1997 and 2018 being the start of a highly volatile period where the RSI on the 1W time-frame started trading under Lower Highs i.e. showing a bearish divergence against the Higher Highs of the price's uptrend.
That period of volatility eventually came to an end and gave way to a massive rally led by euphoria, which gave the first sign of worries on a Head and Shoulders (H&S) pattern in 1999. It appears that this is where we are at now. In 1999, the H&S, despite breaking below the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line), didn't form a market top but eventually made one last fake rally to an All Time High (ATH) in March 2000. That was the market peak and as we all know the crash of the dotcom bubble took place and the index entered a Bear Market.
Does this mean S&P500 has one last ATH to give before a new dotcom like crash or this H&S already represents the market top for you? Or neither of the two and the stock market will continue upwards without such a crash? Let's make a heated discussion and let me know in the comments section below.

S&P500 and WTI OIL remarkable divergence and convergence patternEver since the COVID recovery started, both the S&P500 index and the WTI Oil, have followed similar courses, especially since the start of 2021. There is a very interesting pattern of divergence and convergence, which the two follow on a consistent basis.
As this chart on the 1D time-frame shows, when S&P500 (blue trend-line) diverges from the shared upward path with WTI (black trend-line), within the blue zone, they have always converged back (yellow zone). Ever since mid January 2022, it is WTI that diverged from the S&P500 as the index dropped violently while WTI continued its rapid price growth. Last time this happened was in the mid Feb 2021 - mid March 2021 Divergence, as the other two Divergence Phases, it was the S&P500 that rapidly expanded while WTI was correcting.
Naturally, if this pattern continues to play out, we should now have a new Convergence phase where the two assets cross trend-lines again and continue their course when they will eventually diverge again. This means that we should be expecting S&P to recover while WTI pulls back from its current highs.
Do you think that will be the case? Let me know in the comments section below.

S&P500 trapped within the 1D MA50 and MA200. Trade the break-outS&P500 has recovered more than 50% of January's strong correction as today the price hit again the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level. If it doesn't break, this is on the short-term a Double Top as the same High was made there on February 02. Technically, the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) now comes in play as it is the major Resistance of this recovery attempt while the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) is the short-term Support, which has already held once successfully on February 04. Notice how those Resistance and Support levels almost perfectly align with the 0.618 and 0.382 Fibonacci retracement levels.
Short-term traders could trade the break-out: if it closes a 1D candle above the 1D MA50 = buy target 4900 (long-term Higher Highs trend-line), while below the 1D MA200 = sell target 4230 (just above the 4220 Support).

S&P500 Trade the Pivot ZoneS&P500 broke again above the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) today after making a strong rebound at a level (4220) not seen since June 22 2021. This has certainly restored the bullish sentiment on the short/ medium-term but there is a key Pivot Zone to consider within 4500 - 4550 that acted as Support/ Resistance on three prior occasions.
With the 1W RSI also rebounding at the bottom of its Channel Down, there is a strongest case to restore the long-term bullish sentiment but it is best to keep your approach on the medium-term and buy above the Pivot Zone (target the Higher Highs trend-line) and sell below it (target near the 4220 Support).

S&P500 ended the U.S elections rally. Years of volatility ahead?This is the S&P500 index on the 1W time-frame (on the log scale). The recent sell-off (-12% so far) is leaving many wondering what is happening and rightly so as it broke below the very strong bullish pattern (Higher Highs/ Higher Lows) since the November 2020 U.S. elections. As I looked more closely into it though by running past regression models, I found that this could in fact be a behavioral pattern linked to post election periods.
More specifically, we witnessed the same sell-off on S&P500 in January 2018 which was exactly 65 weeks (455 days) after the November 08 2016 U.S. elections! Right now we are exactly 65 weeks after the November 03 2020 elections with the index having broken below the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line). It is important to see if SPX can close the current week above the 1W MA50 as in 2018, the 1W MA50 supported the (also -12%) sell-off and gradually led to a new Higher High. However that Higher High was short-lived as in the same year (2018), the index saw an even stronger sell-off that hit the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line). Practically that Lower Low which came after the Higher High formed a multi-year Megaphone pattern. That extensive period of high-volatility started with the U.S. - China trade war and ended even more violently with the global asset melt-down of the panic over the COVID pandemic on March 2020, where the sell-off almost hit the 1M MA100 (red trend-line).
As mentioned above, S&P500 broke below its 1W MA50 yesterday but today shows signs of recovery and is already above it again. A 1W candle close above the MA50 could be the start of a new long-term Megaphone pattern with high volatility due to mostly geopolitical uncertainty. As of now, it is the tensions between the West and Russia over the Ukrainian borders that seems to be starting this geopolitical uncertainty.
Note that a similar period of geopolitical uncertainty took place from late 2014 to the start of 2016, when events such as a potential exit of Greece from the Eurozone, China's economic slowdown, VW scandal, ECB outlook and Oil sell-off rattle global markets and created a Megaphone that also tested the 1W MA50 and 1W MA200 in successive Lower Lows.
Do you think history will repeat itself and the markets will enter uncertainty following a very strong post elections rally? Feel free to share your work and let me know in the comments section!

S&P500 has made a bottom on its 1 year Channel Up. 4950 next.S&P500 hit the 1D MA100 (green trend-line) again yesterday and by doing that, it reached the Higher Lows trend-line of the 12-month Channel Up that started in December 2020 just after the U.S. elections rally.
That is a strong technical Support and based on the 1 year price action, the index has most likely priced its bottom. If not I give one max extension (even though much less likely) to the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) as a bottom, which is a level that hasn't been touched since June 2020.
We are expecting a strong rally towards the top of the Channel Up and the 2.0 Fibonacci extension around 4950/60.

S&P500 Double level rebound targeting +4900.S&P500 has made a strong rebound yesterday (big wick on the 1D candle) after reaching exactly as low as both the Higher Lows trend-line (dashed line) of December 03 and the 1D MA100 (green trend-line). This is a Double Support Event. The 1D RSI at the same time made a Double Bottom similar to previous bottom formation sequences within the 2021 Channel Up and is forming Higher Lows. At this stage we expect this to be the start of a 1.5 - 2.0 month bullish wave towards the top of the Channel Up and the 2.0 Fibonacci extension, with our Target being just below it at 4960.

S&P500 hit the 1D MA50. New buy opportunity.I haven't updated my SPX outlook every since predicting that perfect buy on the 1D MA100 (green trend-line) on December 20:
Right now a new (short-term this time) opportunity arises as the index hit today its 1D MA50 (blue trend-line). The chart above (1D time-frame) shows that, on this Channel Up that held for the whole 2021, after every 1D MA100 bottom, the re-test of the 1D MA50 is a short-term support towards a new Higher High at the top of the Channel Up. In fact it resembles a lot the March 25 2021 1D MA50 test.
Technically the new Higher High is made on the 2.0 Fibonacci extension. Currently you can set two medium-term targets one just below the 1.5 Fib (4850) and the other just below the 2.0 Fib (4960).

S&P500 Will it share the same fate as the QE ending of 2015?On this analysis I compare the S&P500 index' price action from the post March 2020 crash against the period of January 2013 - December 2015. The reason is the one thing those two have in common: the end of Quantitative Easing (QE) eras.
As the chart shows, the two sequences has been fairly similar as they started by posting strong growth on the basis of aggressive QE (in the past to recover from the subprime crisis and in 2020 to recover from the COVID pandemic). Recently SPX has started to become more volatile and the reason is the Fed starting the taper program and announcing multiple rate hikes in 2022.
We saw the same market reaction from October 2014 onwards after the Fed concluded its QE at the time and until the first interest rate hike (since 2008) in December 2015, the market entered a transition phase of very high volatility. Do you think history will repeat itself and we'll see or have already entered a new long-term volatile phase?

S&P500 Solid long-term buy opportunityMy most recent S&P500 idea was a short-term one on the 4H time-frame, where I called for a pull-back and then rebound to 4740:
The target has been hit but the latest pandemic news were used as the catalyst for a new, deeper pull-back. I am switching back to the 1D time-frame where the index has just hit the 1D MA100 (green trend-line) again, for the first time since the December 03 low. As shown on the chart, this sequence has been spotted another 2 times before within this 12-month Channel Up:
a) Double Top on the Resistance, b) Pull-back, c) RSI Double Bottom and d) Rebound to the 2.0 Fibonacci Extension level
In our firm's perspective, once this formation is completed again, we expect another rebound. Our new long-term target is 4850.

S&P500 Be ready to buy the pull-back if needed.This is a short-term update on the 4H time-frame which I rarely use for S&P500 on my November 30 idea:
As you see on that recent post, the 1D MA50 worked well once more in catching the correction within the multi-month Channel Up and the index has been rebounding strongly this week. This long-term Channel has worked very well at identifying tops as well:
Anyway back to the current situation/ chart and the 4H time-frame. The index has entered the High Volatility Cluster of November, which was basically a prolonged Resistance Zone. As long as the 4745 Resistance doesn't breaks, there are high probabilities for a pull-back towards the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line), which as this long-term uptrend unfolds should form a Golden Cross over the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line). Notice also the MACD which is closer to a Bearish Cross after this very strong rally. If you missed the bottom buy around the 1D MA50, this might be the opportunity you're looking for a new entry.

S&P500 is approaching its medium-term buy levelIt is time to update our perspective on the S&P500, which we last analyzed a week ago when we called the exact market top on November 22:
As you see the index got rejected that day and corrected instantly, which based on our analysis is a much needed technical correction in accordance with the long-term pattern of the 2021 Channel Up on the 1D time-frame.
The price is now very close to the 1D MA50 (blue pattern) and as per the May fractal, which has been accurately following, a contact there is a highly possible bottom. Thus, a slightly further dip within 4540 - 4520 would be ideal for a new medium-term buy towards the 4740 Resistance.

S&P500 Technical short-term correction imminentThis is a quick update to the S&P500 analysis posted 10 days ago:
As the plan suggested, the index continued to slowly rise just below the Higher Highs (top) trend-line of the 2021 Channel Up, following the late April/ early May fractal.
Right now this is about to get completed, meaning that S&P may be ahead of a short-term technical correction towards the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line). The RSI (on the 1D time-frame) is also printing an identical sequence. Naturally that should be the final pull-back before the seasonal end-of-the-year rally. However, even the slightest break above the Channel's Higher Highs, could lead to a buying frenzy towards the 1.5 Fibonacci extension trend-line.

Nasdaq/S&P500 ratio. Final stage of the BUBBLE?This is a simple yet very interesting chart illustrating the Nasdaq-to-S&P500 ratio since the 1980s.
As you see after a price stabilization in the 1980s, the ratio started to rise but steadily within a Channel Up since 1998. That was when the tech index (Nasdaq) took off fueled by the dot.com mania on a 2 year rally that eventually led to the dot.com crash of 2000.
The ratio has been trading within a similar Channel Up since the 2008/09 subprime mortgage crisis. Currently the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) and the 1W MA100 (green trend-line) are converging in a squeeze evetn that was seen in the 1990s Channel Up at the end of it, when NDX's parabolic rally started.
Does that mean that we are about to enter the final 2 year stage of the Bubble? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

S&P500 could rise a little higher before a new 1DMA50 correctionS&P500 has been trading inside a straightforward Channel Up since the start of the year. It recently (November 05) hit the top (Higher Highs trend-line) of the Channel and pulled back, however today is posting a respectable rebound.
According to a similar fractal in late April, it is possible to extend this rise just below the top of the Channel Up for some more days, before it eventually pulls back for the technical 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) correction. See how the RSI (1D time-frame) on both fractals got rejected at the exact same level. Note that any break above the top of the Channel Up, could initiate a bullish break-out towards the 1.5 Fib extension of the underlying Fibonacci Channel.

S&P500 One last 1D MA50 touch left before $4800?S&P has made new All Time Highs (ATH) since my analysis at the start of the month, where the diverging 1D RSI gave a strong buy signal at the bottom of the multi-month Channel Up:
As you see the signal worked out well and the index has now the 1.5 Fibonacci extension as its next target (followed by the 2.0 Fib ext ultimately just above 4800). As the Fed Rate Decision is approaching next week, there is a possibility that the market sells the news on the short-term, make contact with the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and then rally for the rest of the month.
After all from a technical perspective, the 1D MA50 has supported from March until the recent September break-out.

S&P500 Ichimoku turned red but is it a bearish signal?S&P has been trading within a long-term Channel Up ever since the aggressive rebound straight after the November 2020 U.S. elections. Today the price just hit the bottom (Higher Lows trend-line) of that Channel.
There are two high probability scenarios arising after September's pull-back:
a) This pull-back is similar to late February - early March 2021 (both on -6% pull-backs that hit the bottom of the Channel Up.
b) It is similar to the October 30 2020 bottom itself (elections low) as they both broke below the Ichimoku Cloud. In fact the last two times before today that the Ichimoku indicator turned bearish was on December 02 2020 and October 29 2020.
On top of that the 1D RSI is on a bullish divergence as its been on Higher Lows since Sept 20 while the price is on Lower Lows, indicating that the selling might be getting weaker.
If SPX materializes one of those scenarios then we may expect first 4688 and then 4826 by December which is the 1.5 and 2.0 Fibonacci extensions respectively, as both of those a) b) patterns reached those extensions.

SPX INDEX, Head-Shoulder- And Ascending-Wedge Completion!Hello,
Welcome to this analysis about the S&P 500 Index and the 4-hour timeframe perspectives. In recent times the Index pulled back heavily after forming the 4540 and now rebounded to form an initial relief-rally, nevertheless, there is still an increased bearish edge underlying that should not be kept by the side here. On a fundamental basis the real economy is still damaged by the corona crisis and what we have seen in the recent moves to the upside is an overvaluation moving above the normal healthy valuations. This is why these developments are likely to bring the fuel for a correction and acceleration of bearishness. In this case now I discovered all the important levels and upcoming determinations we need to consider.
As when looking at my chart we can watch there that the Index has formed two main formations in the structure, the first formation is still massive ascending-wedge-formation with the coherent wave-count within completed and the breakout to the downside emerged, the second formation which already begun to develop with the forming of the ascending-wedge-formation simultaneously is the head-and-shoulders-formation of which the left shoulder and the head already completed and the right shoulder is now about to finalize with the Index directly moving into this massive resistance-cluster marked in red where several resistances coming together consisting of the 65-EMA, the horizontal resistance, and the lower-boundary-resistance. This is why a pullback from this area is highly likely and should be expected, the Index then has a high possibility to continue with the right-shoulder-development and complete also the H-S-Formation.
Taking all these factors into the consideration now we should expect the head-and-shoulder-formation to finalize within the upcoming times, this will happen when the Index continues bearishly and finally pulls back below the neckline as it is marked in my chart. Such a breakout will be the high potential source of a confirmational-formation that forms below the neckline and which can take the form of a bear-flag or triangle-formation from where the Index follows up and continues bearishly to the downside. The main target-zone, in this case, is within the 4220 Usd level marked in blue from where the situation needs to be elevated anew, when this level does not hold a bearish continuation will emerge below.
In this manner, thank you for watching the analysis, it will be great when you support it with a like, follow and comment for more upcoming market analysis, all the best!

S&P500 Death Cross formed on 4H. Bottom or more fall?On my most recent S&P post, I've written about the indicators that were pointing towards a correction:
The correction eventually took place as the MACD formed a clear 'peak pattern', that was present at both the May 10 and July 13 tops. However this time the price has broken considerably below the 1D MA50 (yellow trend-line) and has so far stopped on the 4350 Support (August 19 low).
What stands out this time was the formation of the Death Cross (when the MA50 (blue) crosses below the MA200 (orange)) on the 4H time-frame. Even though this is typically a bearish pattern, last time it formed (May 19) it actually had the opposite effect as it marked a bottom. The MACD is also on its first Support. Does this mean that S&P500 is at a bottom? Very likely but we also have to consider for added volatility ahead of Wednesday's Fed meeting. Every time a bottom was formed, the Previous High was reached shortly after.

S&P broke the 4H MA50. Starting the correction.Pattern: Channel Up on 4H.
Signal: Sell as the price broke below the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) for the first time since August 20. Also the price action and the MACD is similar to the July 15 consolidation which also led to a pull-back below the 4H MA50.
Target: The 1D MA50 (yellow trend-line), which has been the target of all corrections within the 12 month Channel Up.

S&P500 1D RSI hit Resistance. Pull-back imminent.S&P500 has been trading within an almost 1 year long Channel Up ever since the U.S. elections. The pattern has been quite consistent especially in "buy the dip terms" as every hit on the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) has been an optimal buy level for so long. That has been the strongest aspect of my strategy, last time I shared it was on July 19:
Right now the index is not on the 1D MA50 but there is a pattern that has given accurate "sell the top" signals also: the RSI on the 1D time-frame. As you see on the main chart, every time the RSI hits (or marginally approaches) the 70.000 Resistance level, it marks a top and waves a sell signal.
Naturally I expect the continuation of this pattern with a pull-back to the 1D MA50, where new buys can be placed.
