SPY EARNINGS WEELY AAPL AMZN MSTR METASPY WEELY - Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta will report earnings.
This week we have important earnings from Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, and Meta. We believe there could be a strong move in the SPY driven by the earnings reports, as well as by key economic data like unemployment figures, GDP, and Consumer Confidence. Based on these factors, we expect high volatility and see the potential for the SPY to move within the range of 530–520 on the downside and 560–580 on the upside.

15 Minutes.
We had 3 days without any gap issues.
So, Some consolidation.
So, if we take the low 508.46 as bottom for the last fall then for the extension 508.46 to 544.44 to 533.8, we have 557 as initial target.
A retracement to 538-542 levels will be good as averages will converge slightly for a move towards 563.
For this holding 533-534 is very important.
Gold - Time for a BreatherHigh probability that GLD will move to the 20 day moving average at 295. The BBW indicator shows that momentum is softening. At this signal, prices generally revert to the mean or in some cases, sell off quickly to the -2 standard deviation.
I've been using the futures to hedge my positions. Interesting that the CME has come out with a 1 oz gold future. The gold casino is really starting to open up.
Trading idea - Entry point > 136/61.80%Trading Idea
1) Find a FIBO slingshot
2) Check FIBO 61.80% level
3) Entry Point > 136/61.80%
Chart time frame: D
A) 15 min(1W-3M)
B) 1 hr(3M-6M)
C) 4 hr(6M-1year)
D) 1 day(1-3years)
Stock progress: A
A) Keep rising over 61.80% resistance
B) 61.80% resistance
C) 61.80% support
D) Hit the bottom
E) Hit the top
Stocks rise as they rise from support and fall from resistance. Our goal is to find a low support point and enter. It can be referred to as buying at the pullback point. The pullback point can be found with a Fibonacci extension of 61.80%. This is a step to find entry level. 1) Find a triangle (Fibonacci Speed Fan Line) that connects the high (resistance) and low (support) points of the stock in progress, where it is continuously expressed as a Slingshot, 2) and create a Fibonacci extension level for the first rising wave from the start point of slingshot pattern.
When the current price goes over 61.80% level , that can be a good entry point, especially if the SMA 100 and 200 curves are gathered together at 61.80%, it is a very good entry point.
As a great help, tradingview provides these Fibonacci speed fan lines and extension levels with ease. So if you use the Fibonacci fan line, the extension level, and the SMA 100/200 curve well, you can find an entry point for the stock market. At least you have to enter at this low point to avoid trading failure, and if you are skilled at entering this low point, with fibonacci6180 technique, your reading skill to chart will be greatly improved.
If you want to do day trading, please set the time frame to 5 minutes or 15 minutes, and you will see many of the low point of rising stocks.
If want to prefer long term range trading, you can set the time frame to 1 hr or 1 day.

Since I'm interested in acquiring more shares at 85 or below, I may let this run to expiry or approaching worthless (e.g., .05) ... . Can't believe it breaks 84.50 (which would be correspondent with a 5% yield on the 10-year T note), but you never know in this environment.
$MAGS Repeating History? - Nasdaq Oscillator Flashes Caution📉 CBOE:MAGS (MAG 7 ETF) is showing striking similarities to its previous top, right before a 30% drop. Both price action and the Nasdaq Oscillator are echoing that same setup.
🔍 Key Observations:
Price has rallied into a confluence of resistance near the previous breakdown zone.
The Nasdaq Oscillator has returned to a historically high reading – the last time this happened, MAGS topped and dropped hard.
A similar structure could suggest a -30% move, targeting the $32–$33 range.
⚠️ Caution: We’re in a potential bull trap zone. Unless we break cleanly above the red trendline and consolidate, this rally may be short-lived.
🧠 Smart money may already be unloading into this strength.
SPY Tech Brkdown: Bullish Momentum Building into Key Resistance
SPY Technical Breakdown: Bullish Momentum Building into Key Resistance Zones
Analyzing the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) on the 4-hour timeframe. As of the latest candle, SPY trades at $547.37, up 0.15%, and is showing signs of sustained bullish momentum after a recent pullback. For swing and short-term traders, this setup could present a strategic opportunity.
🔍 Price Action and Volume Analysis
SPY has shown a textbook recovery from April lows, bouncing cleanly from support around the S2 pivot at $515.50. Volume is also increasing on up candles, indicating institutional buyers may be stepping in. The 4-hour chart structure suggests a healthy uptrend with higher highs and higher lows.
🎯 Key Fibonacci Pivots and Resistance Zones
This chart includes weekly Fibonacci pivots, providing clear areas to watch:
R1: $530.33
R2: $545.15
R3: $554.32
Currently, SPY is trading just above R2. If it breaks and holds above this level, the next target lies at R3, which could act as a resistance zone and potential area for profit-taking.
🧠 Indicator Insights: VWAP and Bollinger Band Strategy
The lower chart panel features a strategy combining VWAP and Bollinger Bands, labeled "BBofVWAP with entry at Pivot Point." It triggered a +40 signal recently near the VWAP-Pivot level, reinforcing the bullish thesis. The slight expansion in Bollinger Bands hints at rising volatility, possibly paving the way for a bigger move.
📈 Bullish Scenario
If SPY maintains strength above $545.15, we may see a continuation toward $554.32 (R3). A strong close above R3 could signal a bullish breakout with potential to test new highs.
🔻 Bearish Case to Watch
On the flip side, failure to hold above R2 and a breakdown below $530.33 could indicate a bull trap. In this scenario, $515.50 or even $506.34 (S3) could come back into play.
ORB Breakout PullbackWaiting for SPY to break my 15 min ORB on the 5 and/or 15 min time-frame then I'll enter on pullback if it holds, especially if it hold at the 9 EMA, Volume supports and the VIX is inline as well. If VIX up SPY down and vice versa. Also, will confirm on 30 min timeframe for more confirmation. Let's see. Patience is key.
SPY Trade Plan – April 25 Saw a triangle forming on the 5 and 15 min charts. My plan is to wait for the breakout at 549, then catch the pullback to 547. I wanted the 9 EMA to hold and a green candle to confirm before getting in.
I got my entry at 548.50, stop at 547, and my first take profit at 550, second at 552.
The whole point of this trade for me is to being patient. I didn’t want to chase. I wanted to follow my rules:
✅ Wait for pullback
✅ Respect the 9 EMA
✅ Confirmation candle

Opening (IRA): SPY June 20th 375 Short Put... for a 3.74 credit
Comments: High IVR/>21 IV. Starting to ladder out here, targeting the strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit.
Will generally look to roll up at 50% max to the strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit if >45 DTE remain in the expiry and IVR/IV remains sufficient to collect 1% of the strike price in credit at 16 delta or less.
Opening (IRA): SPY May 16th 385 Short Put... for a 4.04 credit.
Comments: High IVR, >21 IV. Sticking a little pickle in here, targeting the strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit which is quite a bit out of the money at the 8 delta.

TRAP RALLY?AMEX:SPY trade, watching this pivot level for 2nd flag continuation into 560's or a break down to retest lows.
Overall trend is bearish, so until bulls show themselves, the continues voice that yells buy this dip, is nulled by the sense of, FOMO temptation. never plays out well.
No actual trade deals made, no actual announcements. just headlines and people retweeting post. Price>everything.
