Indices:🔴Is it the major market structure shift?🔴 Well As you can see, we can see the SMT here so we can expect a downtrend. The first condition is, that we see the price close the candle body below the bullish FVG, only then can we expect the price to go lower to collect the sell-side liquidity. After that, If the first condition occurs, we need the candle closure below the sell side liquidity, then the price activates the bearish breaker block and the breaker can act as a strong resistance and pull the price down. 💡Wait for the update! 🗓️10/03/2024 🔎 DYOR 💌It is my honor to share your comments with me💌

What's going on with all the revisions? Month after month, the United States has been reporting strong labor market conditions and lots of new jobs being created. However, revisions to past data are often less talked about in the media, which might tell a somewhat different story than headline numbers at the time of their announcement. Friday’s report shows that nonfarm payrolls rose by 275,000 in February 2024; meanwhile, gains for December 2023 and January 2024 were revised down by a combined 167,000 jobs. This follows a streak of similar revisions to the previously reported data. For example, combined job gains for October 2023 and November 2023 were revised down by 71,000 jobs. Further, the combined data for August 2023 and September 2023 were revised down by 101,000 jobs. But that’s not where all the revisions end. The list goes on, with combined jobs gained for June 2023 and July 2023 revised down by 110,000 and combined data for April 2023 and May 2023 by the same figure of 110,000 jobs. Similarly, the data for the first three months of 2023 were also revised lower by 162,000 jobs. Consequently, about 721,000 fewer jobs were created than initially reported between January 2023 and January 2024. Illustration 1.01 The unemployment rate in the United States rose to 3.9% in February 2024, reaching the highest level since January 2022. Historically, in the past 70 years, every 1% rise (from lows) in unemployment was accompanied by a recession.

US500 4 Hours Chart AnalysiaRising Wedge Created On 4HR Chart Bearish Reversal on the Horizon? The US500 has formed a rising wedge pattern on the 4-hour chart, signaling a potential bearish reversal. This pattern, characterized by converging trendlines with a steeper support line, suggests that upward momentum is waning. Key Observations: Upward Trend : The pattern has developed during an uptrend, indicating exhaustion of the bullish momentum. Converging Trendlines: The resistance and support lines are sloping upwards, coming to a point of convergence. Volume: A declining volume trend accompanies the pattern, reinforcing the bearish outlook. Breakout Watch: A decisive break below the support trendline could confirm the reversal, offering a short entry opportunity. Trade Strategy: Entry : Look for a clear break below the support trendline with increased volume as confirmation. Stop Loss: Set above the last swing high within the wedge. Take Profit: Measure the height of the wedge at its widest part and project this distance from the breakout point for a potential target. Risk Management: Monitor for false breakouts and adjust positions accordingly. Keep an eye on broader market sentiment and news that may impact the index. Trade with caution and ensure proper risk management protocols are in place. This trade idea is based on technical patterns and should be used as part of a comprehensive trading plan. Always consider the risk associated with trading financial instruments.

SPX has formed an island reversal patternYesterday, the SPX formed an opening gap and erased some of its recent gains, which was accompanied by nearly a 10% jump in the VIX. What is particularly interesting about this is the formation of the island reversal pattern on the daily chart. The formation of this topping pattern and simultaneous rise in the VIX after a period of strong gains in the U.S. equity markets alerts us. However, calling the market top and subsequent breakdown would be too premature. To support a thesis about a trend reversal, we would like to see a further fall in the RSI, MACD, and Stochastic on the daily chart and a continuation of the rise in the VIX. Contrarily, to support a case for bullish continuation, we would like to see a breakdown in the VIX (ideally below the lower trendline shown in Illustration 1.02) and mentioned technicals reverse back to the upside. Illustration 1.01 The image above shows the island reversal pattern on the SPX’s daily chart. Yellow arrows indicate opening gaps and the island. Illustration 1.02 Illustration 1.02 displays the daily chart of VIX, which bounced off the lower trendline.

S&P500: Sell opportunity for at least 1 month.S&P500 is bullish on the 1D timeframe (RSI = 61.459, MACD = 50.390, ADX = 31.702) but the RSI has turned sideways for a long time which is the same pattern that led to the July 27th 2023 High. The index has had three major corrections inside the long term Channel Up, ranging from -8.16% to -10.64%. We expect the index to decline by at least -8.00% in the next 1 month and approach the 1D MA200 (TP = 4,750), which is intact since November 2nd 2023. ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

A Traders’ Weekly Playbook: Records are there for breaking After a quiet start to the week in markets, Friday’s US session saw risk come alive. A poor US ISM manufacturing at 47.8 – notable in the new orders and employment sub-components – was married with comments from Fed members Lorie Logan and Chris Waller, in turn promoting a strong rally in US Treasuries, with additional rate cuts being priced through 2024. The result was new all-time highs in the US500, US30 and NAS100, with the US2000 eyeing a key breakout of its longer-term range high. New US equity highs backed new highs seen in the AUS200, JPN225 and EU Stoxx and GER40. Gold also got huge attention from clients, rallying 1.9% to set at a new closing high, and we’ve seen many in our alt-crypto offering (notably Bitcoin cash) ripping. We’ll see if the feel-good factor lasts, but I find it interesting that equity and risky assets rallied despite seeing poor US data – where it’s easy to argue that poor data that increases economic slowdown risk, could have prompted risk aversion. So, while we can also point to Fed chatter, it seems in this case bad economic data was good for risk, with the overriding factor being increased rate cut expectations. We’ll see if that same reaction is seen in the outcome of the US ISM services print and the various labour market readings, as these will be the key cross-asset drivers this week. Powell’s testimony to Congress will also get a look-in from traders and we know if he wants to move market pricing he can. The ECB and BoC meeting and the China NPC meeting will get good attention but will play second fiddle to the US data. The poor market internals in equity may be an amber warning sign to some, but market internals and breadth have offered no profitable signal for a while - pullbacks remain shallow and there is a hunt to go hard on risk. There is plenty to navigate this week but for now, the price action shows that the bulls are very much in control. Long equity hedged with gold exposures seems the play, and looking at the charts on the higher timeframes it feels like the path of least resistance being onwards and upwards. Good luck to all. The marquee event risks for the week ahead: The key risk events for markets this week – China NPC meeting, ECB meeting, Jay Powell’s testimony to Congress & US nonfarm payrolls. Monday Switzerland CPI (18:30 AEDT) – the market looks for CHF headline CPI to print 1.1% yoy (from 1.3%) and core CPI at 1% (from 1.2%). The CHF swaps market prices a 25bp cut at the Swiss National Bank (SNB) meeting on 21 March at 70%, so a weaker than expected CPI print should see the market push that implied to c.90%, suggesting the SNB could lead G10 central banks in the sequencing of policy easing. As a result the CHF could become a consensus short from hedge funds. Look for XAUCHF to rally hard on a weak CPI number. Tuesday   US ISM Services Index (Wednesday 02:00 AEDT) – the market looks for the services index to print 53.0 (from 53.4). Given the moves in risky assets (equity, credit) and gold post last week’s ISM manufacturing this data point could drive market volatility. A print below 51.0 would be a surprise and promote further upside in XAUUSD, with the market putting notable attention on the new orders and unemployment components of the survey. Japan (Feb) Tokyo CPI (10:30 AEDT) – the market looks for JP headline CPI to print 2.5% (from 1.6%) and CPI ex-food and energy unchanged at 3.1%. After last week’s upside surprise in the JP national CPI print, and the upside move in 2-year JGB yields to 0.19% (the highest level since May 2011), the market will watch this one closely and an upside surprise could see JPY shorts cover. BoJ Gov Ueda speaks at a fintech summit (15:00 AEDT) – after speaking last week at the G20 meeting and his comments considered dovish, we’ll see if this is the forum for a change in Ueda’s stance. ‘Super Tuesday’ – the biggest day in the primaries calendar, with some 15 states voting to nominate their choice of Presidential nominee. Given Trump’s result in South Carolina, it seems a done deal that he will get the REP nomination, so it's hard to see Super Tuesday as a market event. China 14th National People Conference – the market will learn of the government’s economic targets for 2024 and what they are aiming for GDP, inflation, unemployment, and the deficit. We should see officials target growth of “around 5%” but it is feasible they aim for more. Wednesday US JOLTS job openings (Thursday 02:00 AEDT) – the market looks for 8.89m job openings (from 9.026m) – Traders with long positions in equity and gold and USD shorts will want to see a weaker print vs consensus expectations. Australia Q4 GDP (11:30 AEDT) – the market looks for Q4 GDP of 0.3% QoQ / 1.4% YoY (from 2.1%), but expectations will be massaged as we get the partials (inventory, company profits, net exports as a percentage of GDP). Can’t see this being a mover of the AUD to any great degree, so would have limited concerns about holding AUD positions over this data point. UK Budget (23:30 AEDT / 12:30 local) – Rishi Sunak needs Jeremy Hunt to pull a rabbit out of a hat to get voter momentum into the UK election - but one questions if this budget moves the dial on voting intentions and impacts the UK bond market, and by extension the GBP? Recent media suggests the chance of a major fiscal boost from the budget has been reduced - see my colleague Michael Brown's preview here - pepperstone.com Bank of Canada meeting (Thursday 01:45 AEDT) – the BoC won’t move on policy and will almost certainly keep rates at 5%. Given the recent downside surprise in December GDP (1.1% YoY) and January CPI print (of 2.9%) we could get stronger guidance on future easing. CAD swaps price 85bp of cuts (or just over three 25bp cuts) by December, so the move in the CAD will come as traders reconcile the tone of the statement with this pricing. Thursday Fed chair Jay Powell testifies to Congress (Friday 02:00 AEDT) – Jay Powell’s testimony will garner big attention from the market, where most see Powell offering a balanced/neutral view of economic risk and policy – this is his last formal forum to speak before the 20 March Fed meeting, in which some feel some risk of a risk of a hawkish pivot. China trade data (no set time) – a hard one to react to given there is no set time for the release – the market looks for exports to increase by 3% and imports by 1.5%. A larger import number could boost currencies such as the AUD, NZD, and CLP. Japan labour cash earnings (10:30 AEDT) – while we look ahead at Japan’s spring wage negotiations, the market looks for cash earnings of 1.3%, which suggests real wages of -1.4% Mexico CPI (23:00 AEDT) – the market looks for headline CPI at 4.43% (from 4.88%) and core CPI at 4.62% (from 4.76%). Given recent economics, the prospect of a 25bp cut in the 21 March Banxico meeting looks likely, and the CPI print could reinforce that belief. Conversely, an upside surprise could see USDMXN break 16.9924 support and offer a larger downside move to 16.8000. ECB meeting (Friday 00:15 AEDT) – the ECB are not expected to ease until June, so the statement and Christine Lagarde’s speech will most likely reflect the market’s central view. The bar seems high for the ECB to open the door to an April cut at this meeting, and Lagarde’s commentary may point to a “few month months” of data before they ease. The ECB’s updated economic projections, while likely to be downgraded, will still not be poor enough to suggest increased urgency to normalize. Unless we get a big surprise from the ECB, I’d be looking to fade moves in EURUSD into a 1.0920 to 1.0760 range this week. Friday US nonfarm payrolls (Sat 00:30 AEDT) – the market looks for moderation from the blowout January report, where the consensus sits at a healthy 200k jobs created in February. The unemployment rate is expected to remain at 3.7%, with average hourly earnings growing 4.3% yoy (from 4.5%). NFPs is the marquee event risk of the week, but forging a playbook is not clear cut – One questions if a rise in the U/E rate lifts risky assets as bond yields fall (rate cut expectations increase), or whether this outcome promotes risk aversion as traders consider the negative implications on economics. The USD will hold the cleanest read on the review of the data. Canada employment report (Sat 00:30 AEDT) – the market looks for 20k jobs created and a tick up in the U/E rate to 5.8%. International Women’s Day Saturday China CPI/PPI (12:30 AEDT) – the market sees CPI increasing by 0.2%, which would mark the first positive read after four months of falling consumer prices (month-on-month). PPI is eyed -2.6%. The trader’s concern here is around whether this offers any gapping risk for China assets, or its proxies (AUD, NZD, CLP etc) – I would argue it doesn’t.

S&P500 Is it timed for a correction until the Fed Decision?The S&P500 index (SPX) has been trading within a long-term Channel Up since the October 13 2022 market bottom and since last Friday, the price has been griding on its top (Higher Highs trend-line). The longer it fails to convincingly break and close a full week above it, the more likely it is to deliver a technical pull-back. On that technical setting, the 1D RSI has been on a lengthy Bearish Divergence (Lower Highs) since December 19 2023, which is similar to the one that led to the July 27 2023 Channel Up Higher High and the subsequent -10.96% correction. In fact the 1D RSI has printed a peak pattern (red circle) similar to all previous 3 Higher Highs that gave corrections ranging from -9.17% to -10.96%. July 27 2023 initially delivered a -5.84% pull-back before extending to -10.96%. From a fundamental perspective though, if the market indeed gets rejected here and starts pulling back, it would seem ideally timed for a bottom near the next Fed Rate Decision meeting on March 20 2024, where the policymakers may give clearer hints for a June cut. The correction's targets can only be determined technically though, so a potential -5.84% pull-back takes us marginally below Support 1 at 4845, right on the 0.382 Fibonacci Channel retracement level. If the market overreacts to the Fed, then a potential extension gives a rough 2nd Target at 4755, within Fib 0.5 and 0.618, which will approach the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). On the current phase of the Bull Cycle we are at though, it is very doubtful to see in the near future stronger corrections. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Crypto vs Stocks - Interesting Times🕝Over the past four days, Bitcoin has surged by 20%, while the US500 index experienced a modest decline of 0.35%. This notable discrepancy in performance reflects significant market movements, influenced by recent events such as the approval of Bitcoin ETFs and the impending Halving. Let's delve into these factors and their impact: 📈 Market Sentiment: The recent approval of Bitcoin ETFs has infused the cryptocurrency market with renewed optimism. Institutional adoption, catalyzed by ETFs, signifies a broader acceptance of Bitcoin as a legitimate investment asset. This approval likely contributed to Bitcoin's surge, as investors seek exposure to the digital currency through regulated avenues. 💲 Halving Anticipation: Anticipation surrounding the upcoming Bitcoin Halving event is driving market sentiment. Scheduled to occur in a couple of weeks, the Halving will reduce the block reward for miners, diminishing the rate at which new Bitcoins are created. Historically, Halving events have spurred significant price rallies, as reduced supply increases scarcity, potentially leading to upward price pressure. The looming Halving has likely fueled demand for Bitcoin, contributing to its recent surge. 📊 Risk Appetite and Diversification: Bitcoin's outperformance against the US500 index also underscores varying risk appetites among investors. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin attract risk-tolerant investors seeking higher returns, particularly in anticipation of significant events such as the Halving. 🤖Technological Disruption: Furthermore, Bitcoin's surge highlights the disruptive potential of blockchain technology and decentralized finance. Investors are increasingly recognizing the innovation behind cryptocurrencies, allocating capital towards transformative technologies. As Bitcoin continues to assert its dominance in the financial landscape, one cannot help but wonder: Are we witnessing the dawn of a new era in finance, where decentralized assets challenge traditional norms and reshape the way we perceive value? 📚 Always adhere to your trading plan, especially regarding entry points, risk management, and trade execution. Wishing you all the best of luck! All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly! ~Rich

Markets are reaching extreme greed territoryOptimism surrounding earnings last week helped to push the market higher. As a result, the SPX established a new all-time high above $5,100, and the VIX faltered below $14. Subsequently, it did not take long for Wallstreet analysts to upgrade their price targets for various companies, including the one with the most hype around it, NVIDIA. Some of these forecasts go as high as $1,400, which would value NVIDIA at nearly $4 trillion (more than Apple). However, as the Fear and Greed Index is reaching extreme greed territory and people are getting drunk from profits, it might be time for a reality check. Since the start of 2024, many large companies have begun another wave of layoffs. Here is the list of just some of them: Amazon - laying off several hundred employees (the exact number is not known) Cisco - laying off 5% of its workforce Discord - laying off 10% of its staff Duolingo - laying off 10% of its workforce eBay - laying off 9% of its workforce Microsoft - laying off some 1,900 people (about 8% of the workforce in gaming) PayPal - laying off 9% of its workforce Snap - laying off 10% of its workforce Rivian - laying off 10% of its workforce Unity - laying off 25% of its workforce Twitch - laying off 35% of its staff On top of these massive layoffs, there are also many corporate downgrades in forward guidance and an ongoing problem with sticky inflation, with the next print due on 8th March 2024. If new data confirms no improvement, it will likely cause fear to creep back into the market and weakness in stocks. With that said, we are proceeding very carefully in the current environment. Illustration 1.01 The image above shows VIX's daily chart. Illustration 1.02 Illustration 1.02 shows the parabolic chart of NVIDIA, which is reminiscent of many past charts that reached bubble territory and then popped.

S&P500 This Bull Cycle is far from over.On this analysis we view the S&P500 (SPX) from the longer term perspective of the 1M time-frame in order to answer the question of why it hasn't pulled-back since the October 2023 Low. The answer can be given by observing the index from a cyclical point of view. First, with the exception of the March 2020 COVID flash crash and more recently October 2022, the 1M MA50 (blue trend-line), was intact since October 2011. Even during those two tests, it never closed a monthly (1M) candle below it. This makes it the current long-term Support and every pull-back towards it is a buy opportunity on the lowest possible risk. The catalyst on this long-term analysis is the Channel Down that started on the 1M RSI since the September 2015 Low. Every decline near its bottom (Lower Lows trend-line) is a buy opportunity, while near its top (Lower Highs trend-line) is a sell. Right now the Cycle (5th since the bottom of the 2008-2009 Housing Crisis) is at the point after its 1st mid-cycle correction (blue circle) where the 1M RSI typically bounces off its MA (yellow) trend-line. This hasn't just happened within the RSI's Channel Down but is also a characteristic of all Cycles since the bottom of the 2008-2009 Housing Crisis. At the same time, the 1M MACD rises on a Bullish Cross. As a result, even though a short-term pull-back can be technically justified, the current Bull Cycle is far from over as the 1M RSI hasn't approached the Channel's top. Technically that should be towards the fall of 2024 followed by a volatile 2025. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

S&P500 Is a -3% pull-back probable here?The S&P500 index (SPX) is having another bullish week with the current green 1W candle being the strongest since the first week of the year. Nonetheless with the 1W RSI overbought at 75.00 and the price very close to the Higher Highs trend-line that started on the late November 2022 High, a short-term pull-back seems probable at the moment. The long-term price action since 2016 shows that every time this 1W RSI overbought pattern emerges, and the index is trading near (or at) the Higher Highs trend-line, it makes a correction between -3.10% and -4.50%. From the current levels, the minimum of -3.10% pull-back would deliver prices around 4950 while a -4.50% one, prices around 4865. Long-term traders can look to continue buying such dips as long as the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line) is supporting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

The Nvidia effect; US equity indices break out to new highs The Nvidia effect has ripped through global equity markets and given fresh wind to markets that were looking ominously poised for a 3-5% drawdown. New highs have been seen in EU Stoxx, GER40, JPN225, and the US large-cap equity bourses; the US30, US500 and NAS100. What levels do the bulls target now? Well either, you’re looking at fibo extension/projections, psychologically important round numbers, or you hold until price action offers an exit signal, or your trailing stop is triggered. Our client flow is progressively skewed short index positions at current levels (85% of open positions on US30 are held short, 74% short on the NAS100), with many countering for a reversion move, although this is an aggregation of different strategies and timeframes. Nvidia hits the sweet spot Nvidia has dominated the narrative and rightfully so – the flow-on effects into the AI/semi’s scene has been truly emphatic. I won’t go over Nvidia’s numbers at a granular level, but clearly, they hit the absolute sweet spot – beating on Q424 actuals by some margin across the board, but also on their guidance for Q125 numbers. While not meeting some very lofty market expectations was a small risk, there was perhaps a greater fear that the guidance would be too hot, subsequently creating an incredibly high bar to beat in the future. That wasn’t the case, and one could say the outcome was a ‘goldilocks’ scenario. It’s hard to go past the commentary on their outlook and future operating environment, as this has not just lifted Nvidia but the whole scene. Saying that demand will continue to exceed supply all year was a massive bullish trigger. Detailing that supply constraints should improve over the year was also well received, with supply chains asked to increase capacity by 30% for CYQ1. Sales to China have also dropped to mid-single-digit percentages despite such explosive revenue growth, which was a factor and could be a big kicker further into the future. Nvidia shares not only closed +16.5%, far higher than the -/+11% implied in options pricing but adding $276b in market cap was absolutely staggering. The fact price closed right on its session highs must enthuse the bulls and for tape readers, it tells a lot about the mindset of the collective – dips will likely be shallow, and traders will chase the upside. 87.75m shares traded hands – the most since November 2023 - and in the options market, we saw 1.51m calls bought vs the 20-day average of 913k. Valuations are obviously lofty, but they matter little for these high-growth plays, which are essentially out-and-out momentum vehicles. Also, consider that Nvidia holds its highly anticipated GTC conference on 18 March – where they are likely to update the market on new products and innovations – so pullbacks in the stock should be shallow, and we could see buyers push price higher into that event. The spill over into names like Super Micro Computers (+32.9%), AMD (+10.7%), Marvell (+6.6%) and Broadcom (+6.3%) is clear. The Philadelphia Semi ETF (SOX) also gets some focus as price breaks to new ATHs. Offshore we saw plays such as Infineon, ARM Holdings, Tokyo Election, Taiwan Semi and Korean Semi names all working well and finding a solid bid. The biggest one-day move since early February On a broad index basis, the NAS100 saw its biggest one-day move since Feb 2023 (a 3% move was a 3.3 Z-score move). That said, for such a big percentage change in the index volumes were only 7% above the 30-day average, although this was more than offset by good breadth with 82% of stocks higher (72% in the US500). NAS100 implied volatility has fallen a touch with the NAS100 VIX index dropping 1.21 vols to 18.4% with the S&P500 VIX -0.80 vols to 14.5%, with traders rolling out of downside hedges. Hedges cost money when the market is ripping and subtract from performance. So global high-quality growth equity has found its mojo courtesy of just one stock, and what they have said about the outlook, which of course means so much not just for the A.I adopters but the enablers. We can once again talk about concentration risk in equity, but we can use the 2023 case study and see that reduced participation in the rally isn’t the red flag for contrarian positions it perhaps once was. While CFD traders will take timeframes down and trade intraday flows – long and short – the primary big-picture trend remains higher, so for those who hold for longer than a day, we need to assess the big risk that can cause a 5%+ drawdown. What can cause a reversal? That risk is inflation, and a resurgence of concerns that we move into a far higher-for-longer regime, with rate cuts essentially priced out for 2024. It is my view that equity can hold in and even push higher if expected rate cuts are priced out for 2024, as long the cause is solid growth dynamics. But if the primary reasoning for reduced rate cut expectation is inflation, which causes long-end bond yields to rise (both nominal and real), and volatility in interest rates and US Treasury’s lifts then equity risk premium will rise, and the bears will likely get their 5-10% pullback. For now, the Nvidia show is real, and a feel-good factor runs through the whole sector – The NAS100 breaks 18k, the US500 eyes 5100 and the US30 looks up at 40k.

S&P 500 INDEX $SPX - Nov. 17th, 2023BUY/LONG ZONE (GREEN): $4531.84 - $4726.36 DO NOT TRADE/DNT ZONE (WHITE): $4380.94 - $4531.84 SELL/SHORT ZONE (RED): $4117.36 - $4380.94 Currently there is bullish momentum, as seen coming off the gap up from Monday close-Tuesday open, however; after this momentum upwards we have only seen price go sideways up to today. Price is resting inside a zone towards the top side where bulls can look for a breakout to start entering in longs. For bearish entries there would need to be some structural breakdowns for the bears to enter as the price approaches the $4380.94 level. Both the bullish and bearish zones can be widened to include the entry levels of the respective zones for early entries. This is what I would personally look at before entering trades, everything is subject to change on a daily basis and as I analyze different timeframes and ideas.

S&P500: 1W MACD about to make a Bearish Cross. Huge sell signal.The S&P500 is on the second straight bearish 1W candle and if the week closes this way, it will be the first series of red 1W candles since the October 23rd 2023 bottom. The 1D timeframe has already turned neutral (RSI = 51.449, MACD = 32.820, ADX = 32.340) after a prolonged period inside the overbought territory, so we can claim that a medium term correction has started. A 1W MACD Bearish Cross will confirm it, as it has been the single most major long term sell signal in the past 1.5 years. The last 1W MACD Bearish Cross was formed after the August 14th 2023 1W candle and the then declined by -8.58% initially to reach the 1W MA50 and then completed a -10.90% decline to form a HL at the bottom of the Channel Up. -8.00% and -9.00% corrections have been common on MACD Bearish Crosses. In any case, this indicates that the S&P500 can drop to 4,650 (-8.00%) in order for the market to see if the 1W MA50 can hold as a long term Support after an incredible 4 month rally.
