$SPY Options - Bull & Bear | February Week 2We have been range bound the last three weeks. Sellers are starting to exhaust buyers more quickly than before. We are leaning bearish but confirmation is king. We use 15-30 minute candle closes for confirmation and stop-loss.
Should there be a significant pullback, $580 and $560 are major floors of support.
Here are our bull and bear options for this week:
$600 PUT 2/24
Entry: Confirmation of breakdown under $603.44 (OR harsh rejection at $606)
🎯Target: $600 ($603.44)
$608 CALL 2/24
Entry: Confirmation of breakout over $606
🎯Target: $607, $608
Here's how last week's options went:
📜 AMEX:SPY $605 Call 2/21
$500 → $770 (+54%)
📜 AMEX:SPY $605 Call 2/18
$350 → $645 (+84%)
SPY trade ideas
$SPY February 11, 2025AMEX:SPY February 11, 2025
15 Minutes.
AMEX:SPY faced resistance around 604-605 levels being 61.8% retracement number.
We have 3 values.
The rise from 600.05 to 605.5
The last rise from 603.21 to 605.5
And the fib extension 600.05 to 605.36 to 603.21
For the first rise important to hold 602 levels to continue uptrend.
For the second number being the latest rise must hold today 604 levels.
A close below 604 will be supported by 602 levels. So not a day to short.
If we take the extension move, we have targets between 606 to 608 today.
Once 608 is broken and held at least 15 minutes the target will be 611-612 levels.
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Update - Watching Paint Dry...Today's market seems to be trapped in a "go nowhere" zone.
Get thread though. The markets will react to my Deep-V and Breakdown patterns with some aggression in the near future (24 to 48+ hours).
Buckle up.
This is going to get very interesting as the SPY attempts to move down to 585-590 - or lower.
Get some.

S&P 500 - exciting trading week aheadThe S&P remains in a range. On the last trading day of last week we saw a stronger sell-off, which formed a bearish engulfing. Today's opening will be decisive.
The last high and low pivots should be kept in mind.
The range is an expression of the current indecision. I will pay particular attention to individual stocks that have shown high relative strength in order to recognize early signals here.
A good trading week to all!
$SPY February 10, 2025AMEX:SPY February 10, 2025
15 Minutes
For the rise 595.99 to 608.13 AMEX:SPY retraced 61.8%. So, 601-602 is a good level to go long with SL 598.
Since the retracement was 61.8% double top is possible around 607-608 levels.
So looks good R:R ratio.
Foe the fall 6018.13 to 600.65 need to cross 605.5 for uptrend.
Hence 601-602 buy will have a target 604-605 levels.
But AMEX:SPY at the moment is below moving averages with 200 and 50 being around 603 to 604 levels which i expect to be resisted.
Hence no trade today.
Prepare for SPY Declines as Market Faces Resistance Levels- Key Insights: SPY is currently facing bearish pressure with lower highs and
lower lows, and a significant resistance zone lies between $608 and $610.
Support appears strong in the $595 to $600 range, which could present buying
opportunities. Investors should remain vigilant to avoid potential declines
below these support levels and watch for external factors that could
influence market dynamics.
- Price Targets: Next week targets are T1 at $595 and T2 at $580. Stop levels
are S1 at $605 and S2 at $610.
- Recent Performance: SPY has recently closed down 0.92%, grappling with bearish
tendencies while managing to stay above critical support areas. The
struggles at resistance levels indicate a need for caution in current
trading strategies.
- Expert Analysis: Market experts suggest that the introduction of tariffs may
push SPY down toward the $595 range, reinforcing the significance of the
support levels identified. The sentiment is mixed, given the current
struggles alongside broader indices like QQQ, which reflect a similar
pattern.
- News Impact: Significant geopolitical developments, particularly regarding
trade tariffs and economic indicators, are expected to affect SPY's
momentum. Any announcements related to these areas could prove crucial in
determining SPY's immediate direction in the coming week.
$SPY: Three timeframe analysis, One Chart Pattern, Sentiment📢!Hey there!
#Tariffs negative news drives bearish sentiment. Is it just mass media noise? And Mr. Market will continue up?
WHY?
Let's have a look at the charts:
1. 📈We are in a bullish trend on a weekly and monthly basis, meaning long-term and mid-term, yet in a bearish on a daily one, a ka short-term
2. 🤓The bullish Flag pattern has formed. Yeah, I know; how do you qualify it? For this theoretical exercise only visually, but for anything more serious, Bukowski starts, or you may want to run your own tests.
3. 🍒And the cherry on top: Bearish sentiment is significantly higher than the historical average, standing at 42.9% (2/5/2025) compared to 31.0%. On my side, it means that we might be in for a heavy short squeeze for a couple of days.👋Just observations, not advice
For now, enjoy Super Bowl Sunday! 🏈

S&P 500 Forecast for 2025: Insights from Stock Market CyclesAMEX:SPY
CME_MINI:ES1!
SP:SPX
January Barometer: The month of January has already closed with a net gain over December. Therefore, in accordance with the January Barometer this suggests a positive year.
First Five Days Indicator: The first five trading days being positive further supports this outlook. Although they were barely positive at +0.6% it still counts.
December Low Indicator: This indicator is bearish if the December low is taken out in Q1 of the year. Unfortunately, the December low was already breached in January, which adds a note of caution. We now have two bullish indicators and one negative indicator.
Presidential Cycle: With 2025 being the first year of a presidential term, historically this has been bearish for the stock market. It brings uncertainty, which may temper expectations. This is the year where presidents typically enact changes and tough fiscal measures, although president Trump may prove to be atypical here; especially if he enacts any of his tax policies, rate cuts or large government spending programs this year. So, while this indicator is bearish, it has a caveat given how unorthodox Trump is as a president. For example, in 2016 the stock market was very volatile but still gained 10% under Trump’s first term year.
Outlook: Combining these factors, the outlook for 2025 is cautiously optimistic. While the January barometer and the first 5 days indicator point to a positive year, the breach of the December low coupled with this being the first-year of a presidential cycle suggests a volatile to bearish year. When combining all indicators we arrive at the conclusion that we are in for a volatile RANGE year. The bulls and bears will battle it out in a tug of war. While January-April tend to be seasonally bullish, May-October tend to be bearish. November and December are seasonally bullish too. So whether the year closes with a slight gain or slight loss isn’t the focus. The best approach for this year is to capitalize on the swings. Therefore, mean reversion strategies (buy low, sell high) are ideal. Momentum and breakout strategies should be avoided. Finally, avoid being caught in a drawdown in the May-October period and position yourself to capitalize on the Nov-Dec seasonally bullish period.
4HR FVG told us early So in looking back to the four hour chart today, it was super interesting to see how we feLL right back into the 50% FVG from yesterday's bullish run up. I saw this set up on the four hour timeframe and it's just interesting how these confluences can align with each other.
My bullish fvg is blue and bearish is purple
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 2-7-25: Where's The Deep-VShortly after I created the morning video, the markets opened with a BANG.
First rallying, then rolling over - just as I predicted.
Granted, I never expected the markets to rally above 606 before rolling downward, but the breakdown move into a potential Deep-V looks to be playing out very nicely right now.
Come Monday (2-10), and possibly carrying into the 13th, we could see a very sharp deep-V type price move that pushes the SPY below 580 for a period of time.
That could be a very big move from the 606+ levels we saw this morning.
And you know I'll be saying, "Just as I predicted," for at least 3 to 5 days starting early next week if that happens.
Again, I put my research out to the public like this to either live or die by my work. Very few people are able to do this - or they flip/flop all the time (every 2-3 hours).
My research is different. I'm really trying to make a difference by telling traders what to expect now and in the future.
I know I'm starting to make a difference for many people because I'm getting emails and messages from individuals who use my research to identify great trade opportunities.
Are you going to be the next person to share your success story with me?
Remember, have a safe weekend and GET SOME come Monday morning.

Selling SPY after signs of lost of momentumSPY has once again tested the ATH level, marking its third approach to this price zone and, once again, making a reversal candle. It feels like the market may be losing momentum, so I’ve decided to set up a bear put spread trade that would benefit from a potential decline within the next 42 days. All information is available on the chart.
The SPY will go up for the rest of the weekThe market will go up for the next 3 more days.
I am using the Heikin Ashi candlesticks. Why Heikin Ashi candlesticks?
1) They show more of a directional movement within candlesticks.
2) They tend to filter out the market noise so you can see the market direction better.
3) It reduces false signals, allowing you to stay in the trade longer.
4) And, it gives you a smoother appearance making it easier to see trends and reversals. (This information is from Dr. Keith Wade who speaks at the Wealth365 Summits.)
Typically, I would wait until there are 2 green Heikin Ashi green candlesticks before entering.
I still tend to switch back and forth between Heikin Ashi candlesticks and regular candlesticks since regular candlesticks are what I am familiar with and have been using since I started trading.
I use the MacD, the Stock RSI and the DMI to assist me with the direction of the market. I am not perfect at them. I will hopefully try to explain these in future trading charts.
I personally find:
* the 5 minute indicators typically represents what will happen in the next half and hour.
* the 10 minute indicators typically represents what will happen in the next hour.
* the 30 minute indicators typically represents what will happen in the daily.
* and, the hour indicators typically represents what will happen in the next week.
I am anticipating a bull trend for the next few days as the 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour and 4 hour indicators are already looking bullish.
I have a few targets. In the past I have said the market is usually moving about 34 points, but I think it will make a less of a move this time due to the Stock RSI only being slightly lower as it is not starting close to 0.
If you look at some of the past moves, the market moved around 20 points such as from July 1 to July 16, Oct 7 to Oct 17 and Nov. 20 to Dec 6th. As well, if you look at the Stock RSI on the daily charts, it has only declined a little. So even if it turns soon, it only has a little way to go upward. As well, it is hitting a resistance around 610. I think the market will bounce back and forth between 610 and 590 for a few more weeks.
Typically, I would wait until there are 2 green Heikin Ashi green candlesticks before entering.
The targets I have in place are:
20 point move = 610.42
1 Fibonacci move = 610.59
5 day move = Feb 7
If it hits one of these targets, I am out of my trade. And I will even shave a little off, so if it hits 609, I will be out.
My stops are:
1) the low of the previous Heikin Ashi candlestick,
2) 2 red Heikin Ashi candlesticks,
3) a specific dollar amount for a total loss for my trade or
4) a specific dollar amount per contract.
If it hits one of those stops, I am out of my trade.
Lastly, I believe tomorrow it may go lower as I find the 3rd day typically moves sideways or goes lower. And some of the shorter term indicators are looking weak.
I really encourage you to draw a chart yourself. The first chart is the most nerve racking, but I have learned the most through drawing charts.
I am trying to take trading classes through Udemy, mostly because they are cheap. LOL! I usually wait for a sale where the courses are as low as $14.99 instead of over $100 per course. They have sales a few times per year. Just keep checking the website. I am NOT affiliated with this company in any way. I am just trying to tell you where I have found cheaper courses online to learn more. www.udemy.com
I always try to attend Wealth365 Summit which is held about 4 times a year where I always pick up some more useful information. Again, I am not affiliated with this company in any way. www.wealth365.com
My chart is not guaranteed and I am still learning. Trade at your own risk.
Happy trading everyone!
SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 2-7-25: Carryover PatternAs many of you know, I'm still expecting a breakdown in the markets leading to my Deep-V pattern on the 9th and the secondary Major Bottom on the 10th.
Why haven't we started to move downward yet? I really don't know. I suspect the markets are being pushed higher by Market Makers trying to crush the shorts (premium).
Either way, we'll know how this is going to play out over the next 5+ days.
If I'm right, we'll see the SPY break downward towards 580-590 over the next 5+ days.
The QQQ should move down 510-515 throughout that same breakdown (possibly a bit lower).
I expect Gold and Silver to also move downward if this breakdown in the SPY/QQQ happens as I expect. Metals tend to move downward when the SPY/QQQ makes a sudden impulsive breakdown move.
Bitcoin also appears to be poised for a breakdown event.
It seems that all the indexes and symbols I follow in the morning video are already standing near the edge of a cliff, just waiting to jump off.
I urge traders to move into a protective mode (protecting open longs and hedging against any breakdown event) over the next 5-10+ days.
We'll eventually see another bounce/rally off some lows, but right now, everything looks ready to JUMP (off the cliff).
Get Some.
