SPY trade ideas

SPY rangebound between $580 and $600SPY has been pretty rangebound between $580 and $600 since November. Any time it drops near $580, buys have pounced, and whenever it goes near or above $600, sellers pounce. I think we'll continue to see more of this well through January and into February until we get a better sense of macroeconomic factors like Fed as well as global policy from the incoming Trump administration. The Fed and Panama Canal are the top two things that I'm watching. Some swing trade ideas: Iron Condor options strategy keeping $580 and $600 in mind. With Vix being at 18, this isn't a bad trade, just keep in mind that volatility can expand making OTM strikes still be unprofitable. - I don't think a strangle is a good idea, make it defined risk. Wait it out. This is my current strategy with SPY showing a head and shoulders pattern with a possible target near the 200 EMA. Put Ratio: Something like a 112 or 1122 might not be a bad idea keeping the 200 EMA in mind with the 200 EMA in the "trap" zone.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 1-8-25: RALLY patternPlease take a few minutes to watch this entire video. I spent quite a bit of time trying to explain to all of my followers why the markets are struggling to find a trend and why the volatility has been so excessive over the past 3+ months. Simply put, the markets are trying to reprice a Trump Economy (changing from a Biden economy). In my opinion, the new Trump economy will still be decent/good - but there will be changes and the US Fed is still trying to borrow based on past data - which traders no longer believe is going to be valid reflecting future US economic/policy actions. Thus, yields are rising as investors demand MORE PROTECTION against unknowns. And, THAT is one of the primary reasons why the US Dollar and Yields are really driving most of this market volatility. Again, simply put, investors/traders are unsure of what the future US/global economy looks like (specifically with Trump suggesting he is going to "streamline" the US government/agencies, and fix the US BLOAT). To many people, that is a big unknown. I do believe today's Rally phase in the SPY/QQQ, as well as the Rally phase in Gold, will resolve to the upside. Yesterday's move was, IMO, another "washout low". We'll see how things play out today and see IF we get a RALLY move in the markets. Bitcoin rolled downward right at the dual Flag levels - just as I suggested. Now we'll see Bitcoin roll back towards recent lows - trying to identify support, or break downward - targeting the $72k I suggested would be the next lower level. Get some. Stay ahead of these markets and remember to trade efficiently (BOOK PROFITS). #trading #research #investing #tradingalgos #tradingsignals #cycles #fibonacci #elliotwave #modelingsystems #stocks #bitcoin #btcusd #cryptos #spy #gold #nq #investing #trading #spytrading #spymarket #tradingmarket #stockmarket #silver

SpyADP and Minutes out tomorrow... I'm thinking a pop if ADP comes in good followed by a mid day flush with a hawk minutes H&S maybe but I've connected some supporting trends If 576-580 holds then This H&S will turn into a Wedge triangle Zoom in at the last 2 day price action Small broadening wedge is forming here in white. If we pop tomorrow I'm looking at 592 resistance and over that 593.50 50sma 594 (21ema). So I'm looking for a bounce between 592-594 before a reject If we gap down then this broadening wedge is negated And this H&S shoulder plays out to 580 Weekly chart with 21ema.. Weekly 21ema is a 580 Wedge trendline is at 580 Price action support is at 580 U have to be very nimble bear here They will fight hard to keep the weekly 21ema.. they may dip to 576 to close gap then push back above and leave you trapped.. If price closes the week below 576-580.. then 566 is next up. I will update into the weekend...

Spy Technical Analysis - Jan. 81-Hour Chart Analysis (Trading Perspective): * Trendline Resistance and Support: The downtrend is intact with visible resistance at key levels such as $594 and $596. The price is hovering close to the critical support at $589. * Volume and Momentum: Declining volume on bounces indicates weaker buying interest. MACD shows a bearish crossover, signaling negative momentum. Stochastic RSI shows oversold conditions, suggesting a potential short-term bounce but remains within the downtrend. * Immediate Levels to Watch: * Resistance: $594, $596 * Support: $589, $585 * Trading Strategy: * If SPY breaks above $594, it may test $596. * A break below $589 can open further downside toward $585. Gamma Exposure (GEX) Insights (Options Perspective): * Call Walls: Major call resistance is at $596, acting as a psychological and technical barrier. * Put Walls: Strong put support lies at $585, signaling hedging activity from market participants. * Gamma Flip Zone: Neutral zone remains around $589-$590 where market makers might shift their positioning based on the directional bias. * Market Sentiment: The net GEX indicates bearish sentiment with -72.7%, reflecting dominance of put contracts over calls. * Options Strategy: * For a bearish bias, consider puts below $589 with a target near $585. * For bullish reversals, calls can be played above $594 targeting $596. Conclusion: SPY remains in a short-term bearish trend within a broader consolidation. Watch for decisive breaks of $594 or $589 to determine the next directional move. The current GEX data reinforces bearish pressure, but oversold technical indicators suggest caution for shorts near support levels. Maintain a tight stop-loss and adjust strategies based on volume and price action confirmation.

SPY: Week of Jan 6thHey everyone, As promised, getting back into the grove of posting analyses. I was going to cover other tickers but I ran a little long. People have told me that they have learned a lot from me so I wanted to take time to explain how to identify things clearly. I generally don't feel like I give helpful educational information in my ideas but I will make a point of doing it in the future. If you are interested in Bulkowski stuff and his software, just google Thomas Bulkowski online and you will find lots of information! He provides a lot of free educational content online. You can also find some educational ideas on tradingview that go over Bulkowski patterns, here are some I have found: This one is a really good video on testing patterns using an indicator. This is using the same textbook I trained my own Bulkowski model with: Anyway, this is my analysis/forecast. Hope you enjoy! Leave your questions below! Safe trades!

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade For 1-7-25 : Counter Trend BreakawayToday's pattern suggests the markets will move upward (counter-trend) in an attempt to move into the RALLY, RALLY, RALLY phase closing out this week's price action. I suggest traders prepare for what may become a fairly explosive upward trend over the next few days - but stay fairly cautious as unexpected news may derail price trends a bit. We are still moving into the early 2025 liquidity flood - where traders who pulled capital away from risks in late 2024 are starting to move back into the markets. We are also moving into Q4:2024 earnings data (in about a week or so). So there are still lots of opportunities for big trends. I'm watching to see if the markets attempt to move to new All-Time Highs again - which I believe is a highly probable outcome. If my research is correct, we are going to move into that RALLY, RALLY, RALLY phase very cleanly today and tomorrow. Gold and Silver are moving higher again - which is great to see. Today is a RALLY day on my Gold Cycle Patterns. Could be a great opportunity for skilled traders in Metals this week. Bitcoin has reached that DUAL FLAGGING zone. In other words, stay cautious at this point. Volatility will likely increase for Bitcoin and I believe the most likely outcome will be to attempt to move back downward after reaching this dual flagging zone. We'll see what happens next. Remember, we are just starting 2025, so you have lots of time to try to identify opportunities throughout the year. Your goal as a trader is to find the best opportunities to BOOK PROFITS. The more you are able to BOOK PROFITS, the more likely you are to GROW YOUR ACCOUNT. Get some. #trading #research #investing #tradingalgos #tradingsignals #cycles #fibonacci #elliotwave #modelingsystems #stocks #bitcoin #btcusd #cryptos #spy #gold #nq #investing #trading #spytrading #spymarket #tradingmarket #stockmarket #silver
