ETF market
GUSH in Buy ZoneMy trading plan is very simple.
I buy or sell when at three of these events happen:
* Price tags the top or bottom of parallel channel zones
* Money flow spikes beyond it's Bollinger Bands
* Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) at near oversold overbought level
* Price at Fibonacci levels
So...
Here's why I'm picking this symbol to do the thing.
Price in buying zone at bottom of channels
Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) at oversold level
Money flow momentum is spiked negative and under bottom of Bollinger Band
Entry at $21.94
Target is upper lower channel around $28
SPY is likely to find support between 530 and 550The SPY ETF (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust) recently peaked at 613.23, reaching the upper boundary of a long-term channel that has been in place since 2009. This suggests the market is in an overbought state. Looking at historical trends suggests that the continuation of previous upward trends became unsustainable after reaching critical levels. The current correction signals that the market is adjusting toward a healthier upward trend.
The long-term trend since 2009 remains intact. However, the upward trend that began in 2023 is broken, with the price now trading below the 200-day moving average and previous lows. Overall, the long-term trend is strong, and historical momentum suggests that SPY could find support between 530 and 550. In a worst-case scenario, the price may decline toward the key support zone of 490 to 500. The recent correction also suggests that any rebound could be sharp and V-shaped.

Global ETF Nears Potential BreakoutRecent weeks have seen a dramatic shift toward global stocks as U.S. markets decline. Now traders may be looking for a breakout in a key ETF tracking the group.
The iShares MSCI EAFE fund, which focuses on developed markets like Europe and Japan, had a quick advance from mid-January through early March. There are at least four takeaways from the rally.
First, it resulted in historic outperformance against the S&P 500. (This is highlighted by relative strength in the lower study with a 21-day period.) The current reading of 13.8 percent points compares with July 2002, when EFA began a five-year run of outpacing SPX. (The only two other times that relative strength was higher was late 2008 and March 2020, abnormal moments of extreme volatility.)
Second, the recent rally pulled the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) toward a potential “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA.
Third, a pullback on February 28 was quickly bought. That potentially established support above the December high of $80.63. (See yellow arrows.)
Fourth, EFA has remained well above a 50 percent retracement of the advance. That may confirm bulls are still in control.
Next, the fund just completed an inside week. That tightness may reflect a lack of selling pressure.
Finally, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has stayed above the 21-day EMA.
Standardized Performances for the ETF mentioned above:
iShares MSCI EAFE ETF (EFA)
1-year: +5.61%
5-years: +31.07%
10-year: +25.31%
(As of February 28, 2025)

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Video for 3-17: GAP PotentialAs we start moving into the Excess Phase Peak pattern consolidation phase, I believe the SPY/QQQ will attempt a moderate rally for about 3-5+ days, then roll into a deep selling mode after March 21-24.
I don't believe we have reached a bottom - yet.
I do see a lot of people talking about "the bottom is in" and I urge all of you to THINK.
What do you believe will be the basis of US and GLOBAL economic growth starting RIGHT NOW?
Can you name one thing that will be the driver of economic expansion and activity?
I can't either.
Thus, I suggest traders prepare for more sideways consolidation range trading over the next 60+ days as hedge assets and currencies attempt to balance risks.
BTCUSD, Gold, Silver should all be fairly quiet this week. I'm not expecting any huge price moves this week.
I expect the SPY/QQQ & BTCUSD to move a bit higher while Gold and Silver melt upward a bit further.
Then, after March 21, I expect bigger volatility and a broad rotation in the SPY/QQQ/Bitcoin where Gold/Silver will start a bigger move higher.
Get some.

QQQ Nasdaq 100 Year-End Price Target and Technical Rebound SetupIf you haven`t bought the previous oversold area on QQQ:
Now the Nasdaq-100 ETF (QQQ), which tracks the performance of the largest non-financial companies in the Nasdaq, has recently entered oversold territory, suggesting that a technical rebound may be imminent. Similar to the Russell 2000, QQQ has experienced significant selling pressure, driving key technical indicators into oversold zones and creating favorable conditions for a bounce.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped below 30, a level that typically signals oversold conditions and the potential for a reversal. Additionally, QQQ is trading near key support levels, with a large portion of its components underperforming their 50-day and 200-day moving averages — a classic setup for a mean reversion rally.
From a historical perspective, QQQ has shown a tendency to rebound strongly after similar oversold conditions, particularly when macroeconomic factors stabilize and buying pressure returns. Given the current technical setup, my price target for QQQ is $550 by the end of the year. This represents a recovery of approximately 8-10% from current levels, aligning with previous post-oversold rallies in the index.
While downside risks remain — including potential volatility around Federal Reserve policy and broader economic data — the technical backdrop suggests that QQQ is well-positioned for a recovery in the coming months.

SPY Prediction.Here's my SPY breakdown using top-down charting from the 1Hr and 15min timeframes.
On the 1Hr TF, there was a lower low (LL) created last Thursday around ($549.62). For the downtrend to continue, price needs to stay below ($564.02) to form a lower high (LH) and possibly go back to test that Thursday low.
Now switching to the 15min TF, you can see that the ($562 - $564) level was tested four times, and each time price rejected and pushed lower. But remember what happened Friday around 2 PM — price spiked to ($563.83), then sellers stepped in and brought it right back down.
So for Monday, if SPY gaps up over ($564), I’m looking to take calls for a push toward ($570 - $573) (just like the moves we saw on October 31 and November 5). But I would only scalp that move — personally, I wouldn’t be fully bullish unless SPY turns ($568 - $570) into support like it did back in November.
If SPY does not gap up ($564), then I expect more downside pressure with a possible re-test of that ($549.62) low.
This is just my opinion, make sure to chart it out yourself.

$QQQ WARNING! April Fool's Market a Joke this year at SUB $400Is this happening? I'm going to have to bet my money on yes. I have been doing this for a long time. Pattern Chart Trading . This has a high probability of happening imo. Is it absolute? Of course not. Is it better to be prepared? Absolutely. Now for the technicals of it.. I'm trying to do better with this...
If we take a bearish perspective on the fib from the previous high in December , and the most previous lower low mid January , we have ourselves at the 1.61 Golden Pocket below. I have a Bullish perspective if we hold here and move above the 1.00 Fib Level, mid January Lows at $499.70 . Last defense would be a 50% retracement to the .786 FIB at the $508 area. Currently, I expect a rally to the 50 day SMA for a retest, then a SLAM to $380s in April . This is the possibility. Take it with a Grain of Salt. The possibility is there. I have one Bullish outlook.. I will post after this...

IwmInteresting spot here near 200.00
Honesty it's the most oversold Stock/Index on my watchlist.
Actually price has been trading inside this channel here
After finishing up a H&S pattern
Over the next 2weeks I think we can see a move back to 214 channel top and H&S neckline
I don't think that move will be straight V shape either, maybe a pop to 206 or 207 gap close then a pullback ; if that pullback at holds 199 support then we could see 214, if we break below 198 then the move up is done and we keep sliding
The bigger picture is this, IWM is headed back to trendline support of 15yr channel around 175-180
SPY Market Outlook - Week and Month ahead (Mar - Apr 2025)With SPY rejecting off the July ’24 and August ’24 resistance zone, combined with low volume into the close, we need to assess the technical setup, economic landscape, market psychology, and potential institutional strategies to predict where SPY may move next.
⸻
1️⃣ Technical Analysis – Recent Price Action & Key Levels
📌 Friday’s Price Action & Rejection at Resistance
• SPY rallied throughout the day but stalled at a key historical resistance (~563-564).
• The last 10 minutes of trading saw a rejection off resistance, signaling institutional selling or profit-taking at that level.
• Low volume into the close suggests a lack of aggressive buyers at these elevated levels.
📈 Key Resistance Levels (Upside Risks)
• 563.91 - 565.02 → Major resistance from past highs.
• 568 - 570 → Psychological level; breaking above this could trigger an upside squeeze.
📉 Key Support Levels (Downside Risks)
• 553.89 (S1 Pivot) → First support level.
• 550 - 548 → Stronger support, where buyers might step in.
• 540-535 → If macro conditions weaken, this could be tested.
🔹 Bias for next week: Short-term caution. A rejection off a previous resistance with low volume suggests a possible pullback before another attempt higher.
⸻
2️⃣ Economic & Fiscal Factors Influencing SPY
🏦 Federal Reserve & Interest Rates
• March 2025 FOMC Meeting: The Fed’s next decision on interest rates will dictate short-term direction.
• Current market expectation: Fed holds rates steady, but any hawkish stance (no rate cuts) could push SPY down.
• Rate cut speculation: If economic data weakens, the Fed may pivot towards rate cuts, fueling another SPY rally.
🛒 Inflation Data & Consumer Spending
• CPI/PCE Inflation Reports: If inflation data is hotter than expected, SPY could sell off on rate hike fears.
• Retail Sales Data: A slowdown in consumer spending would indicate weakening economic strength.
📉 Fiscal & Geopolitical Concerns
• U.S. Debt & Fiscal Policy:
• Treasury issuing more bonds? Yields could rise, causing stocks to fall.
• Government spending cuts? Negative for growth stocks.
• Global Risks (China Slowdown, Middle East Tensions):
• Any geopolitical escalation could cause a flight to safety (bonds, gold, USD), hurting SPY.
🔹 Bias for next month: If the Fed maintains a hawkish stance, SPY could see a deeper pullback toward 540-550. However, if inflation cools and rate cuts are expected, SPY could attempt another breakout.
⸻
3️⃣ Market Psychology & Institutional Strategies
🎰 The “Casino” Effect: Retail Traders vs. Smart Money
How Market Makers & Algorithms Trap Retail Traders
The stock market operates like a casino, using psychological tactics to keep traders engaged and induce poor decision-making:
• “Near Miss” Effect: Just like slot machines keep gamblers playing by showing near-wins, market makers drive SPY close to resistance before a rejection, making traders believe a breakout is coming.
• “Dopamine Trading” & FOMO: Market structure induces FOMO, encouraging retail traders to buy at the worst times (tops).
• “Liquidity Hunts”: Institutions push prices just above resistance to trigger retail stop-losses before reversing.
🔹 Current Setup Psychology:
• Retail Bulls feel confident after last week’s rally, believing a breakout is imminent.
• Smart Money is likely selling into strength, creating a liquidity trap.
• If volume stays low, it indicates institutions are not supporting higher prices.
📉 Where Institutions Could Take SPY Next
1️⃣ Shakeout Before a Move Higher (Most Likely)
• SPY pulls back to 550-553 early next week to trap weak-handed longs, then reverses higher.
2️⃣ True Reversal (Less Likely Unless Macro Shifts Bearish)
• Failure at 550 → Drop to 535-540.
3️⃣ Parabolic Breakout (Only If Fed Signals Rate Cuts Soon)
• If Fed hints at rate cuts, SPY breaks 565 and runs toward 570+.
⸻
4️⃣ Trading Plan for the Week & Month
🎯 Short-Term (Next 1-2 Weeks)
🔻 Bearish Bias Until SPY Proves Strength Above 565
• Trade Idea:
• Sell SPY 565 Calls & Buy SPY 555 Puts (Credit Spread)
• Target: 550-553
• Stop-loss: If SPY holds 565 with strong volume.
📉 Aggressive Short Play (Only if SPY loses 550)
• Buy SPY 545 Puts, target 540.
📈 Medium-Term (Next 3-4 Weeks)
• Bullish Reversal Levels:
• If SPY holds 550 & reclaims 560 → Go Long.
• Buy SPY 560 Calls, Target 570.
⚠️ Risk Management & Key Triggers
• Watch CPI & FOMC Meeting: Macro news will determine if SPY sells off further or breaks resistance.
• Volume Confirmation: If low volume continues, expect more chop & fakeouts.
• Biggest Bullish Catalyst: Fed signaling rate cuts earlier than expected.
⸻
📌 Final Summary – What to Expect for SPY?
1️⃣ Short-Term Pullback Likely (550-553), Then a Decision Point.
2️⃣ SPY Must Break 565 With Volume for Bulls to Win.
3️⃣ Watch Institutional Behavior – Smart Money Might Be Distributing.
4️⃣ Key Catalysts: CPI, FOMC, & Market Psychology Will Dictate Direction.
