$SPY Daily Chart Taz Plan - May 2025 into June-July Breakdown📉 SPY Daily Chart Trading Plan — May 2025 Thesis: Price has returned to the exact level ($594.20) where the February impulse breakdown began. This zone is acting as a Lower High rejection within a broader bearish structure. A clean rejection here opens the door to multiple inefficiency fills below. 🔍 Structure Breakdown: Feb High (ATH): $613.23 Feb Open: $592.67 Feb Close (last green candle before impulse): $594.20 Current Price: $594.20 Marked LH: $592.50 This is a rally back into rejection, not strength. 📉 Key Zones & Gaps: 🔺 Gap Supply: $566.48 – $578.50 🔺 Wick Gap: $558 – $566 → Needs a full-body candle to initiate fill 🟥 FVG (4/22): $528 – $541.52 🧱 Major Support: $481.80 🧠 Trade Plan: Short Entry 1 (Confirmation-Based): 🔻 Red candle rejection under $592.50 = starter short 🔻 Watch RSI and MACD for momentum fade Short Entry 2 (Gap Breach): 🔻 If $578 is broken and retested → scale in 🔻 Gap fill expected quickly once triggered Short Entry 3 (Wick Gap): 🔻 Body close through $558 = last add 🔻 Sets up for final flush to FVG 🎯 Targets: $578.50 → $566.48 (Gap Fill) $558 → $541.52 (Wick Gap & FVG Top) $528 – $530 (FVG Close) $481.80 (Long-Term Panic Target) ❌ Invalidation: Daily close > $595.50 = Pause thesis Weekly close > $600 = Structural shift, short squeeze zone 🧠 Final Thoughts: This isn’t just a gap fill play — it’s a structural fade from a lower high back into memory. The Feb impulse wave left behind layers of inefficiency, and price just tapped the origin of the breakdown. Momentum is peaking. If this is a trap, the downside should begin immediately. Let the chart prove it.

US Downgrade, 3-5-10% Pullbacks But Still Bullish on S&PHappy Sunday!!! US Futures open lower after Friday's close and Moody's downgrade. Last time this occurred in 2011, the S&P dropped around 10% from the "news." This is all interesting timing but I'm still liking pullbacks for opportunities to position bullish in the US indexes (S&P, Nasdaq, Dow) Because the melt-up continues to run (US/China gap last week and drift higher), I'm trying to stay patient for a pause or pullback Trump and Bessent are still chirping about Tariffs and a government "detox" so a round of trade war related news may help calm the market's red hot advance post April 7 lows I'm selling calls on owned positions for income. I'm waiting for more favorable levels to add new positions, but within 3-4% of all time highs for the S&P and Nasdaq I don't think anybody will be surprised to see the all-time highs revisited in the near to medium-term Let's have a great week - thanks for watching!!! -Chris Pulver

QQQ Weekly PotentialVolatility, expressed through standard deviation, quantifies market elasticity and presents a level of probability and precision that humbles us all. This week with NASDAQ:QQQ we see that the shorter term trending volatility is resonating like SP:SPX and AMEX:SPY just under our monthly values. Range seems to be expanding allowing for cheaper premium capture per move happening. With any luck, we reflect and increase in volatility with up to quarterly means.

Russel 2000 Weekly PotentailVolatility, expressed through standard deviation, quantifies market elasticity and presents a level of probability and precision that humbles us all. This week with AMEX:IWM you can see that last week trending bi-weekly markets were more volatile than our monthly trending values. This could indicate regression to quarterly means, but for now shows a 15.02% premium advantage over current IV per move. Bi-weekly, is as of now, only 10.81% off it's quarterly trend. However, it's important to observe that volatility can still consolidate under monthly in a poetic dance to coil up the monthly more on it's path in regression. This is why in my charts you will notice a 'coiling' value under both HV10 and HV21 values.

SPY volatility this weekI'm posting the rest of the readings I did for each week this month on SPY. This week I'm expecting a drop into Wed. I get all my info from dowsing, btw. I noticed all last week it kept suggesting to sell rallies, which makes me thing we're going to pull back. The weekly (done at the beginning of the month) did suggest over 5% down this week. But my dowsing now says to watch for a bounce Wed. with a look below & fail. Move up to some extent Wed. & reverse down Thursday (implies gap up or some up). Then Friday up. Short term watching the $575 area for the bounce or resumption of trend. Next week's reading of down more is a bit of a head scratcher, so that's why I think things could just be really volatile. Low on QQQ I'm looking for is 498.

I was early, but not wrong - 571 target still standsHello Traders, We can clearly see a top signal as SPY has started to play out a bearish divergence at the 594 level. The 594 level seemed to fade during after hours upon the announcement of Moody's US credit downgrade as the price sliced through the 590 level all the way down to 588. I believe the price will rapidly cascade down sub 580, down to 571 Monday - Tuesday. The gap fill is at 565.13. The gap fill level is too obvious, therefore I would be surprised if the price perfectly reversed (although, expect a reaction at this level). My target for this downturn is 561.63, which is the 38.2% fib level, as low as 551.48. This would offer a great pullback and buying opportunity for the long term, for the bullish case. I personally believe that the stock market won't make all time highs, but does not mean I will miss out on bullish opportunities, if the trend does truly reverse. As always, we will have to see what Monday brings us.

SPY (S&P 500 ETF) Weekly Technical Analysis4H Chart (Short-Term View) Trend: Ongoing bullish momentum with dominant green candles. Key Breakout: Strong breakout above the $594–$596 resistance zone, which now acts as support. Volume Profile (VPVR): A low-volume area between $595 and $610 suggests potential for a swift move higher. Indicators: The Ichimoku Cloud shows rising support, with positive band compression. Projection: As long as the price holds above $594, there is potential to test the $610–$615 area. Daily Chart (Medium-Term View) Fibonacci Levels: The 0.786 level was broken decisively, indicating strong bullish momentum. Trend: Clearly bullish, supported by declining volume on pullbacks and steady upward movement. Volume: Consistent increase in buying volume since April strengthens the bullish case. Upcoming Resistance: $610–$615 (previous highs). Weekly Chart (Long-Term View) Recovery: A solid rebound from the March lows. VPVR: The high-volume node between $455 and $475 has been left behind, now acting as a structural support. Macro Trend: Price has returned to a previous consolidation area from the prior bull market. Risks: While there is room for further upside, the $610 area could act as both technical and psychological resistance. Key Levels Immediate Resistance: $610–$615 Technical Support: $594–$596 Structural Support: $560 (significant volume cluster) Conclusion SPY maintains a strong bullish structure across all timeframes, with sustained upward momentum and room to challenge previous highs. The reaction around the $610 zone will be critical. As long as price holds above $594, the structure remains favorable for buyers. However, given the lack of historical volume in this price range, short-term volatility or pullbacks are possible.

GLD where to?My dowsing work suggested a high around $288 on GLD, which obviously worked out (see prior idea). There's often a decent reversal opportunity once levels are hit. This one was golden... Wah-wah. I'm trying not to over ask on things because with my work, I think it opens the door for misleading information or confusion on my part. Simply put, the guidance was to get a date from the past, which was Jan. 10th. Look to revisit that price, which happens to correlate with the area of the 200 sma. When I asked what price from the H/L of that day, I get $249. I drew a line to show the reference candle from January. I ask what date this may occur by & get May 15th, but another date came of July 26th. There's some big stuff I think happening in indexes too in June/July. Dates are often reversals, but can be nothing. You just never know, but odds are more often they are something.

GDXJ short to $44Using my dowsing readings on GDXJ as confirmation was helpful for the long GLD idea, so why not use it for the move down idea? Only this time, I'll post what I get :) As I mentioned, I'm a dowser & all my ideas and levels come from that. There's not much to this idea other than it shouldn't go much above 54. I do have a bit higher on GLD, and then a significant correction, which on GDXJ gives me a target of $44. Levels hit well before, so hopefully, we can get lucky again.

Why Traders Chase — and Always LoseHard truth: You don’t miss opportunities. You chase noise. Let’s break down the real reason you keep “missing moves”: 1. FOMO is not urgency — it’s confusion. When you enter because “everyone’s talking about it,” you’re not trading a setup. You’re reacting to social proof. 2. Volatility ≠ opportunity. Big moves look attractive, but if they’re not in your plan — they’re distractions, not trades. 3. The market rewards patience, not activity. Every click, every chart, every refresh feeds your dopamine — not your edge. 🚫 Solution? Stop scanning. Start filtering. Use tools that prioritize structure over noise. That’s why we built TrendGo — to give clarity in chaos and help you avoid traps masked as opportunity. 📌 Don’t chase. Build your edge.

SPY or SPX vs 3 month Treasury yieldLets just few the picture and let it tell us a 1000 words. Everyone says to the moon...Just like 2009, up we go....Just like 2020, up we go But let us view it another way...eh? You "stole/froze" whatever you label it...Russian Assets and kicked them from Swift, which they return the favor by arguing that the ceasefire deal cant be done cause they don't like the style of pen you brought that day.... You decided to show the the world that you will turn a certain area of the Mediterranean into a French Plaza with beach front hotels, and may...maybe give the inhabitants vouchers to move away- one can say its a booming deal for them. You decide to demonstrate to the world that on a tweet's notice you will change policy without official announcements and policy update for the rest of the world. Then you decide...well I think that picture is becoming clear- Japan just bit the hand of Uncle Sam and said 'if you step any closer the treasuries get it' So in all, the rally to ATH is literally exactly like 2009 and 2020, since there is literally nothing that has changed and everything above was equally going on, just change the dates and the people/places involved but exactly the same right. Except for that weird number 0...0% which seemed to occur in 2009 and 2020- no coincidence there and todays 4.3% means absolutely nothing...just slight inflation, roughly 12-13k % increase...but its no issue. So what can we surmise here....: Well you were dropping for a good amount of time in 2009- ~504 days and in 2020 you basically turned the lights off and then on again...so that seems to fit with what just happened here right>> you had 282 days of drop in 2022, which is 56% of 2009 and you literally made up a number of tariffs, then made up a lower number a month later and bingo-bango back up you go.... butttt...one of these things in pink just doesn't quite fit...so honestly it will be a delight to see how the see-saw theory works: I call it a theory cause there is no proof on the chart that when the market goes up- yields go up, no case for it and not visible on the chart anywhere....So we should be good. Ergo.... As the market makes ATH and keeps charging up, the yields will go back down to 0% or so on the 3month and stay there cause that follows the see-saw theory. You don't keep money in the markets for too long as they rise, you rotate it into the treasuries cause you get a better stable return. So...Trump and Bessent win...getting lower yields and a higher stock market- cause just look at the Technical Analysis everyone- there is only emotion in people saying Yields go up as the S&P goes up, its not cold hard logical facts right...only emotional people think stocks make yields go up..jeez ---- If you agree with the last bit there...you may need to check your local big city, over 2-3million inhabitants, to see how you are doing in these ATH markets....you may find that when treasuries are up....you arent doing so well on the street.. You can lie to a Tiger and say according to the charts you are more advanced than him and you will, according to the charts, beat him due to your superiority. He however lives in reality and wonders why you are talking to him and showing him a paper- so he offs you and walks away- feeling nothing cause you were the emotional one trying to use a chart to tell nature what it isn't. :) be careful out there...cause V-bottom explosions need a 0 or close to 0% interest rate...and 4.3 isn't 0, so study an elliot wave guy and see if this isnt what is called the "B-wave" where you may settle back in the 400 range soon..and low 400 at that.

SQQQ | Im Very Bearish the Markets Going into Q1 - 2025How I see It: (The commentary is purely my own thoughts based on my research comparing it to what I've seen in the media and other social media sites) SQQQ smooths out the noise and shows me if we are in a bearish scenario in the technology sector. This ETF has been in a bullish divergence for the last 6 months, and it showing signs its time to pop higher. That equates to the QQQ's going into a correction mode over the next 3 - 6 months. Be careful as profit taking will come hard, and margin calls will run crazy. ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to three times the inverse (-3x) of the daily performance of the NASDAQ-100 Index. The fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the fund's investment objective. The index includes 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial companies listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market based on market capitalization. The fund is non-diversified.
